Who has issued the ticket? Local council enforcement or private contactor?

Looks good so far

Hi Lee does it still have the Sat Nav reader?

There is a difference between having to report an accident and the police having to attend an accident. A reportable accident is when The Road Traffic Act defines a reportable accident as: Owing to the presence of a motor vehicle on a road an accident occurs whereby: 1. Injury is caused to any person other than the driver of that vehicle 2. Injury is caused to an animal other than an animal in or on that vehicle 3. Damage is caused to a vehicle other than that motor vehicle 4. Damage is caused to any other property or any construction fixed to, growing in, or forming part of land where road is or land adjacent to the road. You are quite right in what you say about the police attending accidents but each is assessed on their own individual merit.

Firsty was there any damage caused to anything other than the car? If the post is not damaged then there is no need to report the accident and no offence to leave. Secondly If there was damage to the post you have a duty to reported it to the poilce as soon as paracticable or at least within 24 hours. Officers will want to speak to you regarding the circumstances and unless there is any evidence of driving without due care or careless driving and it is just a simple accident and the insurance is willing to pay or you personally then that should be the end of it. You wil be reported for the offences or failing to stop and failing to report an accident and the facts will be submitted to a central summons unit where a decision will be made as to whether to prosicute or not. There is a time limit of 6 months to progress the report so it could be some time before this is finalised A rough guide to possible outcomes if it goes to court are. Momentary lapse of concentration or misjudgement at low speed Band A fine, Band A fine 3 – 4 points Loss of control due to speed, mishandling or insufficient attention to road conditions, or carelessly turning right across on-coming traffic Band B fine, Band B fine 5 – 6 points Overtaking manoeuvre at speed resulting in collision of vehicles, or driving bordering on the dangerous Band C fine, Band C fine Consider disqualification OR 7 – 9 points

Project finised, borrowed camera and went click happy. Here's a few. Any worth of putting forward for the forum calendar? Opinions please.

Just got my hands on a Fuji S9600 and want to take some decent pictures. I have only ever used a cheap camera or mobile. I now want to take the next step and try and get some more professional looking shots. Any basic advice for a simleton or should i stick with the automatic setting and see what happens.

The high milage is no problems these days. Providing it drives well and the clutch seems ok, buy it

Poorboys Black hole. Alternatively 2000 wet and dry and re polish.

You can never be too careful

It was all to do with the new MOT regulation that have/are comming in regarding HIDS lights.

Spoiler back from the body shop. Just love the finish. It took a little more work than expected although the fit is very good the surface required some levling and filling to get the required finish. Metal mesh grill supplied by Zmanalex (thanks). The self adhesive fasteners supplied required extra help so fastened them with the help of araldite. Attached and fitted the light washers. Finished, Grill, badge and side reflectors. Finally fitted.

Each to their own

Never used G3 myself (Meguiar man personally). All of the products out there are pretty much the same some better than others. G3, Meguiars ultimate compound/SWirl X and 2.0 all have a blend of diminishing abrasives to gently and effectively remove blemishes from the paint work and restores it back to what it should look like. I have found that using a machine polisher is the best way of applying such products but follow the manufacturers directions when using.

Maybe the thermostate that has stuck in the closed position which in turn isn't allowing the hot water to circulate round all of the engine. Instead it is remaining in the top end which isn't allowing time for the fan sensors to react to the small temp drops. Just a thought.

Absolutely dead easy. 2 x Tour bags and 2 x weekend bags.

There is a further issue to take into consideration, as i've been trying to get an update for my 04 Birdview system. From what i've managed to find out is that if your current disc is running a 6.0 version you may be ok to update with a new version. But if it is running a 5.1 version the is no updates or upgrade available as nissan ceased making that particular player so no ugrades were produced. I've have gone down the route of wiring a Tomtom into the auxillary lighter switch in the passenger footwell.

Check this out. http://www.satnavi.com/nissan.php What year is your car and what system have you got?

Took them out and locked them away till it was done. Like i said earlier measure twice and cut once. The fit is that good if you get it in position first, clamp it, and then commit to the cut/drill

RT-Performance. A big thanks to Taras and the team. It only took a week from order, manufacture to arrival.

Christmas will be early this year

Off with the wheels. Remove the bumper. This easily done by either removing the wheel liners to acccess the 3x10mm bolts or it can be done by just prising back the liner where the bumper and wing meet and unscrewing them. Undo the under tray along the front edge and remove the 6 plastic retaining clips along the top edge of the bumper. (There is a Guide for this proceedure) First test fit. (Tip) mask off the front of the wings to protect from any damage especially if your working on your own. The fit is very good for a replica and need very little work if any. Liners now removed as it was a little easier to work round without them in place. Whilst the bumper is in position, clamp it in place and get a small pencil and scribe the position of the two locating holes these will be needed as your datum points for the rest of the fit. You can see the outlines for the original holes but as each bumper is going to be slightly different it's best to mark out the new positions and use them. I used a 10mm wood drill bit as these have a sharp centre point to prevent slipage. Position the top edge of the bumper along the locating holes. Close the bonnet and check the leading edge with the bonnet line. Once happy with the position, scribe a datum line and use this to transfere the hole positions onto the bumper. (10mm wood bit used) The next step was to set the reflectors onto their right position. This is very simple. Lay the reflector in it's positon and transfere the fixing holes onto the bumper (6mm drill). There may be a little grinding of the bumper to get the perfect fit. The head light washer positions were next. (time and care Required here. Mearsure twice cut once) I found that the washer apetures bottom edge ran parrallel with the top edge of the reflector which made the positioning a lot easier. A square was used to transfere the veritcal line which was in may case was 30mm from the corner of the reflector. The bottom edge of the washer apeture was 50mm up from the top edge of the reflector (see Picture) (These measurements are individual to this bumper and may vary to others but it's a good starting point). A simple cardboard template was scribed from the original bumper and used to trace the outline for the new jet location. A 10mm drill bit was used to remove material in the corneers of the opening and a jig saw with a fine toothed blade to cut out the remaining material. It is best to air on the small side when cutting out and remove any excess material to get the perfect fit. (You can always remaove material but cant put it back). Pcictures 3, 4 &5 show the washer jet in position. It's worth noting that the bumper needs to be a specific thickness to allow the washer jet retaining clips to hold it in place. I needed to grind away excess material for this to happen. The washer jet housing bracket has been integrated into the bumper so a 6mm driil bit was used drill out the locating holes and bracket fitted. The next 4 pictures just show the washer jets in place. The next step was to set to number plate and towing eye locations. I have decided to go with the original setting. The towing eye was drilled using a 40mm hole cutter. You will need to drill the retaining holes in the bottm leading edge of the bumper for the under tray i used a 10mm dril bit for this. The bumper is now off at the painters being painted. I will update the thread when it returns.

fame at last great photo.
