ML270 bundle bus! God its slooooooooooooow!!! :scooter: G/F now has a written off A4 after getting it smashed up last week!! :thumbdown:

Thanks bud - just hope its all worth it & not getting too carried away, spent £3000+ already on bit & pieces & still got all the bodywork to pay out on!! :blink: Ah well, hope it was all I remembered it to be!!

:whistling::smartass:

Nah, its always like christmas in my house mate!! :santa: LOL! Cant go for 5 mins without buying something!! :rofl:

Some more time to work on my zed again today. Starter was making some nasty noises (sounded like a ring gear worn!) - removed & stripped & found the end plate loose causing the starter to flex & the gears not to mesh!! Rebuilt & re-fitted & alls good again!! :thumbup1: Removed the rear bumper & found another rust hole that needs plating LOL! :wacko: Repaired my tailgate latch that was messing around. Car now wont start & getting a code 11 - guess I need a new CAS! Tried stripping & cleaning hoping I will have the same result as the starter but no such luck! :no: Still - am getting my new engine on friday from Richard (trick82) so not too worried about the non start! :w00t:

you say that like you are surprised!! :D :smartass:

very nice! :thumbup1:

you still need to use the microfilters on each socket even with this ;)

Yup - thats what Im saying!! Basically what BT is saying is that all the wiring for the secondary sockets around you house act as an antenna picking up electrical interferance & slowing your broadband connection speed down. This is basically a filter that stops this interference regardless of which socket your router is plugged into.

Bit like dynoing a car with teflon tyres I guess! :oops: LOL!! :rofl:

Mark - it doesnt matter where you plug the router in - my master socket isnt used at all for my router or a phone! Staff cars?! er - ok I guess?! Working on mine at work at the moment!! Will be glad to be back in my zed! :wub:

Looks great tho not sure if its just the pictures but seems like hes running loads of neg camber front & rear to get the wheels tucked under the arches!! Wouldnt want his tyre bill!!! LOL! :wacko:

No bud - takes about 20 seconds! 2 screws off the front plate, the iplate sits between the back section & the front plate - push it all together & refit with the new supplied longer screws. Even a fireman could do it!! :lol:

5.7 meg now!! I could run these tests all day long!! :rofl:

Dont know bud - I would guess so but not 100% I only measured download speed TBH!

Works with any ADSL line no matter who the broadband provider is - you just need a compatible socket for it to fit to (see the links) Its free to BT broadband customers but anyone can buy one - see dabs in my first post! Paul

clicky for BT Broadband customers: http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayTopic.do?topicId=25075

Go to BT's website - you can order it online! :thumbup1:

Has anyone used one of these?! http://www.dabs.com/products/bt-iplate---bt-broadband-accelerator-58LT.html?q=BT%20Iplate%20%2F%20BT%20Broadband%20Accelerator My broadband is seriously slow at times (under 2meg connection when using online tests. Sometimes as low as 1 meg :crying: ) Anyway - ordered one of these (free if your a BT broadband customer - you just pay P&P charges of £1.20) Tested before fitting - 1.4meg :thumbdown: After fitting 2.8meg :thumbup: It says to allow upto 48hrs for increase in speed. Just tested now - 5.5meg!!!! :drool::thumbup1: Well surprised!! Just thought I would share! :)

I presume you mean this: http://www.zcentre.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?cPath=21_22_27&products_id=104 Just got one myself from Luke at Zed Centre :)

Hiya, Theres a guy on ebay that sells repair panels (I bought one myself!) for £45: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/300ZX-Z32-REAR-WHEEL-ARCH-SILL-REPAIRS_W0QQitemZ230426603090QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item35a67eee52 plus whatever you can get a bodyshop to do the repairs for - I have a friend doing mine :)

well the spare has never been a testable item in the 20 odd years I'v been testing LOL! ;) :wheelchair: It is however a legal requirement that if you do have one that it is in a roadworthy condition! Often MOT & legal requirements can differ!

LOL!! :rofl: A friend of mine is a VOSA inspector - am sure he would be interested in the testing stations that operate this way!! :devil2:

The boot/tailgate should always be opened & inspected inside & tested to ensure it latches securely. Many testers do not test very strictly! I do & also ensure all my techs do! Not to be strict as such but it is simply the right way of doing things! :)

To be honest - yes I would! VOSA dont mess around when it comes to shutting test stations down or terminating testers! I cant remember the last time I did have to refuse to test - but then I mainly work on newer vehicles in my dealership. Many (many! LOL) years ago I used to work in a smaller garage & did used to refuse to test when needed :smartass: Paul
