the death and regeneration didn't seem as dramatic as with Christopher Eccleston. hope this new chap has his own character and doesn't just mimic tennant. he's a hard act to follow.

D-Link routers are about the easiest to setup if you know nothing about computers. Linksys are about the best routers on the market for domestic users. So long as you know buying a 300Mbps router will only have any benefit if your computer/laptop can send and receive over a 5Ghz bandwidth and support wireless-n. If not it will just be the same as a standard router. Also worth considering if the issue is with the router and not just with the wireless receiver in the computer/laptop. Basic settings you'll need to know for Sky: Encapsulation: PPPoA VPI: 0 VCI: 38 Multiplexing: VC You will also need your Sky ADSL username and password which will be different to the one you use for your Sky webmail. Sky for some reason won't provide you with these credentials, against their terms and conditions for you to have it or something. You can try calling them and asking but I doubt you'll get anywhere since they offer internet as a free service. There is a nice little hack which I've used before to sort peoples sky routers but you need to remember that Sky can disconnect you if they find out you have done it and it isn't the easiest thing to follow http://www.asininemonkey.com/netgear-dg ... _Injection. Good luck with that PS. If you go to http://www.samknows.com/broadband/search.php and enter your postcode it will tell you which is your local exchange and how far away you are. The information includes all the companies who can supply internet to you, I'd say changing internet providers is easier tha messing with it. PM me if you need anymore help.

prob great on a track day but a waste of time day to day. you'll never get them warmed up enough unless you're doing proper mileage and driving aggressively.

working the night shift. car park started the night covered in snow, now it's like a massive ice ring thanks to some crazy donuts in the zed. we even got the scoobie spinning.

Evening Can't believe my zeds started with a high pitched noise from the rear. My step dad who's a mechanic has without properly checking suggested that it's the fuel pump. This ties in with what people have said on the only other post of this kind. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=25508&hilit=fuel+pump+noise How much is a replacement and where can I get one from? Also does anyone know of step by step instructions on replacing it. I have gathered that it's just behind the seats but other than that I don't have a clue. Is there any pros in or near Leeds that can supply and fit a new fuel pump? How much all in? Cheers Chris

how much are you paying then? A few people have mentioned that vpower is more expensive than tesco 99. I haven't found that. Still have my past two receipts for the past 7 days petrol. Tesco 99 - 112.9 VPower - 111.9 Not noticed them put the price up but I have noticed that the price does vary between the two tesco petrol stations that are within a mile of each other near me. My local Tesco is never cheaper than my local shell without a voucher. Currently I think shell is 111.9 and Tesco is 114.9, but thats because they are doing the 5p off a litre, so it does work out a little cheaper. When they stop doing the 5p off a litre the tesco price will drop back down to match the shell price normally. BP ultimate however is mega expensive, about 119 at my local garage!! I don't actually do that many miles though so I don't fill up that often... lucky you. i'm getting through about 60 litres a week, it's killing my bank balance

damn just bought the black psp 3000 with GT5 from Game good luck with the sale

can you post a video of you showing the Dawg how to do it as he's a bit slow sometimes i'm sure the pooch will catch up would demonstrate but i've just worn in a full set of Bridgestone RE050A and at the price they come in at I couldn't bring myself to shread them. Maybe when they need replacing for a cheaper (but better) set of vredestein. Wouldn't need anywhere near 6000rpm to spin the Bridgestones, practically drift round every corner
-
boring "steering at full lock, handbrake off (not that it makes much difference), esp off, 6000rpm in first then lift the clutch" either you'll kill something or you'll scrub the rears in extremely quickly let me know how it goes

http://cgi.eb....item35a51e1682 There are plenty on ebay. Had problems with mine, for some reason it lets most phones connect but doesn't let phones with the android OS connect. Doesn't help since I have a HTC G1 and HTC G2 (Hero) with 3 months left on my oldest contract.

fair point... 5 day 20hrs left, may get in there and win it yet

nearly hit bid until i spotted that it's used... not too sure now. 1 bidder so far

forget the blue nun. could get another 1 in the boot, 2 in the passenger foot well and 3 on the seat... this reminds me. i viewed 8 zeds before buying mine, everyone made a point of telling me that you can fit 2 sets of golf clubs in the boot. I really don't look like the golfing type.

have used vpower for the past 3 tanks of juice. filled up on tesco 99 yesterday and saved £3 with the 5p per litre discount. 50 miles down on tesco fuel and i cannot feel any noticable difference. probably stick with this now as the club card points are much more rewarding than my vpower card.

hadn't thought about this. forget the ferries, i want to hear more about peoples experiences of the eurostar. i'm booked on it for the beginning of next year, not sure if we should take our other car now although it won't be nearly as fun.
-
no way, just received my quarterly 24 bottles from Virgin wines this is hard to resist. 6 days left so i think i'll keep an eye on it and maybe mention it to the other half

Wow I thought mine was bad at 22-24mpg and I often drive above 5000rpm. Although I did get 32mpg on a 400mile run to Scotland and back. Have a full service done, not one of these manufacturers services where they pick and choose what to look at. Fresh oil and oil filter, clean up the air filter (if you have an induction kit or replacement panel filter) and get some decent plugs in there. Just had mine done and it's running far better than it was with the original plugs which had done 30k and oil that had done 9k. At only £150 a full service I will be definitely getting mine done every 9k.

I may or may not have strayed to 150mph with ease on the A1 whilst following the bedding in process. I've got a '55' plate coupe, no mods. Got to watch out for those pigs on the A1 & M1.

Just wondered if anyone else spotted the carbon fibre keyrings on ebay? I've been searching around the internet for something like this for a month now with little luck. Even went through many forum posts on here and have seen lots of different types of keyring that people have but not what appeared on ebay just short of a week ago. Got mine ordered straight away and have had it a couple of days, just had the chance to take a picture otherwise I would have put this up sooner. I'll put the link to the ebay store that I got it from as well, doesn't having anymore on there at the moment but I'm sure you could message them if you're interested. http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Fibrecomp-UK Sorry about the pictures. My photo taking skills aren't that great. Chris

Insurance companies tend to only mirror your no claims if you have both policies with the same company. Admiral mirrored my 3yrs no claims without a problem, even offered me a bigger discount with the multicar option. I opted against that because I would be locked in with them with only one insurance certificate to cover both cars. Having them seperate means at the end of this year I will be able to take my zed and no claims to another insurance company if they try to sting me. By the way how much is a lot? I pay £700 with 3 yrs no claims

Harsh Just had the splash guards for my silver zed sprayed, that's code KYO. Not that this helps you or anything. Good luck with the respray. -
I got a set of Brembo pads for £96.77, wouldn't touch EBC pads unless you want to spend all your time cleaning brake dust off your alloys. My preference are Pagids but they're over £200 for a set. Drilled Brembo discs are £351.04, EBC discs are ok and only £189.91. I found "Motorsport World" to be the best for buying these from. If you find anywhere cheaper let me know. chris
