LOL!! Well for a woman she actually hates shopping!! She will never find anything she likes to wear, then buys some new clothes that she doesnt really like & then wears her old clothes again!! To be fair the last pics were only from around 6 months or so ago!

LOL! Best advice is never buy a marine setup!! I had Marine fish for a few years, amazing to keep but cost more than the zed to run LOL!! :ohmy:

First time we went by sea plane - dead cool experience flying over the atolls! This time we went by speed boat. Saw dolphins jumping around on the return trip!

wheres are they - other islands in the Maldives?!?! :confused1::confused1: :lol:

No, Kuredu was earlier in the year :x: This was Kuramathi: http://www.kuramathi.com/ To be honest we preferred the actual island of Kuredu, but the dining at Kuramathi & range of drinks was amazing (& we do like to eat & drink LOL!!) The house reef was better also at Kuramathi. Both were stunning really!! :D

It cost £3500 for the pair of us for 10 nights including upgrading the room from a basic "bungalow" to a beach villa & to upgrade the all inclusive program (the basic AI means you eat in the buffet restaurants & drink local spirits, beers & house wines etc - the upgrade allowed premium spirits, cocktails & a range of al a carte restaurants to eat in which were simply stunning!!) Not a cheap holiday but is a truly amazing experience!! :thumbup:

This has to be my fave place on the planet LOL! Thought I would share a few pics with you all :) Approaching the island: Lovely white sandy beaches: Some wildlife! - swam with these reef sharks: The place has these great fruit bats flying around: Me & Miss Paul C :wub: Sun setting over the Indian Ocean: God its depressing to be back to reality!! :thumbdown: LOL!!

I completely agree with this. I think it is a great idea getting people to work if they are capeable of it if they have been on long term benefits, there are loads of jobs people can be doing & if we are paying them money to be unemployed then why on earth shouldnt they work - even jobs cleaning up the community, helping the elderly etc. I have always thought this & it boils my blood that there are people out there getting rediculous amounts of benefits for doing fook all! There was a family in the papers a few weeks back that had 10 kids & I think it worked out that a tax paying working person would need to earn £150k pa to get what they got in benefits!! :cursing::cursing::cursing: What would these people do if we had no state benefits?! Fooking work thats what!! I am 42 & have been out of work for 1 week since leaving school at 16 - out of luck? No, cos I have always put myself out to be good at what I do & to make sure I have always worked. People have it too easy to sit on their asses & do bugger all & still get everything paid. IMO if you are on benifits you should be happy to work for what you get & you should just about get enough to live never mind have widescreen TV's, SKY, run a car etc. Harsh maybe, but like I said, if there was no state benefit system I am sure peoples attitudes would be rather different. :sneaky2:

It is indeed a very narrow V to make the block more compact - even only has 1 cyl head (same as the VR6 engines). The older Audi's used an inline 5 cylinder engine, not the VR5 lump

Holiday was absolutely fantastic thanks! Will try to get some pics up when I get them off the camera! Also happy to say that I have not had any more problems!!

I did a write up ages ago: http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=29063 Have been running like this for years now with no problems. :thumbup: An EBC is obviously a better option but mine has run so well with jets I never bothered installing one LOL!

Pics of mine :thumbup1: :

I always use these: http://www.apc-overnight.com/ Good prices & always good service :)

Or in your Neesun sitting on Lorenzos!! :lol:

Should be fine - I used a timer relay with my alarm to give full closure on the windows, no reason why you couldnt fit one to fold the mirrors also :)

Oh yes! Has to be played the first day of sunshine when the T Tops come off!! :thumbup:

Hmm, thought about this before but have never checked actually - to be considered a "wrap around" lens the lamp needs to have an "E" marking on it or be visible by standing a meter out from the rear bumper - if light is visible from the lamp then it is fine: Vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986 must be fitted with one side repeater indicator on each side. Instead of a separate lamp, the side repeater might be part of the front direction indicator if it includes a wraparound lens. Lamps incorporating a side repeater are marked either with an ‘E’ mark in a circle or an ‘e’ mark in a rectangle above which is a number 5. However, some vehicles are fitted with a wraparound lens with no European approval markings. These can be tested by standing approximately 1000mm to the side of the vehicle’s rear bumper with the indicator on. If amber light can be seen coming through the front lens (not a reflection) this is acceptable.

Agreed - used them loads myself. They do nice kits too with tensioner/idler pulleys that need to be replaced at the same time :)

A good first step but dont forget all that you are testing is the solenoid is in good order & working. The solenoid could be physically broken from the needle in the injector or the injector clogged so it is not injecting properly or at all!

LOL! that rules them out then!! Gates are generally top quality on most makes & are OE for many manufacturers. Stick to what is tried & trusted - in our case Nissan own belts

As an MOT tester you can only "test what you see" - you could stick some outer sill covers over some nast rotten sills & we would have to pass it. We are not allowed to remove permenant fixings or scrape away at thick underseal covering rot either! We can only tap lightly with our feeble plastic "corrosion assessment tool" to see if we think some bodging b******d has filled it with filler or sealant LOL! If in doubt then it should be passed with an advisory. Dont go getting any ideas for bodging tho! :nono:

Gates make top aftermarket belts - I would personally use a genuine Nissan belt & tensioner etc (which I did LOL!)

Not a great deal more than stock! A boost increase will usually see it slipping before long

Jeez - what a crazy story! Surely if you are too old to face the old bill if you do something like this then they really need to take her licence away as she shouldnt be driving in the first place! Glad you were not more seriously injured & more importantly hows the zed?! :D

The inner lip on the wings havnt distorted at all have they so the bumper is getting bolted up before it pulls it flush?
