Pull yourselves together!!!
Only one way to get through the first month of the year Now where did I put that bottle of JD?
Chris, Rich...come to LakeZ in June
You add a treatment to the oil (google Forte engine flush'), run engine for a bit and then change oil - it deep cleanses the engine and then if you've got a magnetic plug on any wee bits that are still floating around are drawn down.
Some recommend an engine flush at every service - some people don't think its worth it and believe it can cause problems by loosening any deposits that are in the engine. When I looked back at my service history I could see it had been done at every service - but I didn't do one until my fourth oil change simply because my oil gets done every 4k miles because of the track work I like to keep it clean.
Same with gearbox & diff oil - some people think they should be changed around five year mark some think best left alone. I had my gearbox oil done in hope for smoother cold transitions between 2nd gear. If I remember rightly this was what required a new crush washer as they shouldn't be re-used
Is this a cat or a dog Michelle? Much excitement!
Paulie's got a nismo too http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=43564&hilit=nismo+malamute
You obviously have no comprehension of how Local Govt funding works You don't honestly believe that taxes pay for everything that is provided by local govt do you?
Welcom to the forum
The problem with CDs is common and will persist until the unit is completely warmed up.
You can get them refurbed but most people just replace with aftermarket
Hon - I'd save your brake fluid - it can't have done that many miles since you did the lines - wasn't that just a few months back?
How about an engine flush too ? Then stick a magnetic sump plug in
I think perhaps the advice on the diff oil will be leave well alone - ditto the gearbox unless you're wanting to add some molyslip What's the mileage on yours?
Great attitude Rich!
Quite right too In current climate it'd be immoral to do anything else - I've been doing the job of a grade above me for the last 12 months for no more dosh in the hope that the project pulls through the cuts (looking very doubtful). But then people like Rich and myself didn't choose our professions for the money - knew I should've stuck to Economics
But when I'm talking pay rises - I'm only talking inflation related -not an actual increment - its not a 'bonus' and it is written into my contract.
I've been sat at the top of my scale for the last two years which means if I don't get the 1% or whatever (which BTW is applied to public sector salary scales two years after its measured so is irrelevant in real terms) I'm still earning the same even though cost of living has gone up 7%. As Rich says its just a sign of the times and we just have to get on with it and be thankful to have a job.
I know that come April it is very likely the zed is gonna have to go
dinnae be daft - no fight!
I just get a bit sick of the media tarring frontline staff with the same brush as Elected members who have usually just walked off the farm and think they know how to deliver public services
The real criminals are Central Govt thinking one formula spending will fit at local level
Anyway back to parking tickets - as far as the OP is concerned I think I'd fight that ticket too
If this story is true then its bang out of order - but I would assume its the usual sensationalist reporting trying to link two totally unrelated instances. I think if you put in a freedom of info request in you'd probably find that its something like Butteries were perhaps provided for elected members who were entertaining foreign dignitaries or companies and that the bus to the cemetary was costing circa £40k a year to run including a driver. (that's a conservative estimate based on previous experience!)
I highly doubt that butteries were being ordered for staff meetings Stew no council in its right mind even allows staff to have tea and coffee in meetings never mind order food! This is because every penny must be accounted for - and the media just loves a bun fight!
D'you know we even have to consider carefully what we're going to do for team building activities incase they're seen as too decadent! Its like a fickin witchunt
Frontline staff are knocking their pans in and constantly being told to do more with less and all the while working for frozen salaries that private sector employees would laugh at.
Just want to make sure that people who don't work in the public sector understand that there is a vast difference between the actions of 'Elected Members' and frontline staff who are simply trying to do their jobs with constantly dwindling resources
Cheers Ian, completely understand mate you have had a terrible end to the year
