  1. Welcome to the Forum.. . Is your Zed a UK car or a JDM.. ?.
  2. Going by Darren about that price, plus vat, I would have thought the chips away man could give you a quote by just sending him the photos, rather than doing a visit ?.
  3. I would just get a "scratch away" company to come around my house and do it properly for about £50 rather than pi55 about with it, and you my still not have a satisfactory job and you will only have to re-do it.
  4. That's a fair bit of damage, best person to ask would be Zmanalex. As I'm sure he will have most of the parts you need as well..
  5. "But why Vettel's RB10 was the sole Red Bull hit with problems remains a mystery to team boss Christian Horner." I wonder if last year was a mystery too when Webbers car had numerous issues? I am not sure if anyone is in the know, but was the fia sensor causing running issues, or just inaccurate? See my post today at 9.04 for the answer from the FIA..
  6. You didn't notice that when you got in or the last time you used the car? I had a hire car on holiday once, and some thief stole both rear lights off it and I didn't notice until the old bill stopped me.
  7. Complete "SCUM" who do this , makes my blood boil..wish I would catch some little scrote in the act, would be their last time...!
  8. Here we go again..!! Formula 1's governing body, the FIA, says it is satisfied with the fuel-flow meter at the centre of Daniel Ricciardo's disqualification from the Australian Grand Prix. Ricciardo's team Red Bull intend to appeal the punishment, arguing that the flow meter was inaccurate. The meter's manufacturers Gill Sensors say the FIA has provided it with 'positive feedback'. The matter is now set to be resolved by lawyers in an FIA court.
  9. Try this .. http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=oil+5w+30&tag=googhydr-21&index=automotive&hvadid=24514346214&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1611396685995377918&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_5injbmzxrf_b
  10. Get the cursor prob sometimes where it will go back to the start when I hit space.
  11. Theory About the Missing Malaysia Airlines Jet There has been a lot of speculation about Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. Terrorism, hijacking, meteors. I cannot believe the analysis on CNN; it’s almost disturbing. I tend to look for a simpler explanation, and I find it with the 13,000-foot runway at Pulau Langkawi. We know the story of MH370: A loaded Boeing 777 departs at midnight from Kuala Lampur, headed to Beijing. A hot night. A heavy aircraft. About an hour out, across the gulf toward Vietnam, the plane goes dark, meaning the transponder and secondary radar tracking go off. Two days later we hear reports that Malaysian military radar (which is a primary radar, meaning the plane is tracked by reflection rather than by transponder interrogation response) has tracked the plane on a southwesterly course back across the Malay Peninsula into the Strait of Malacca.The left turn is the key here. Zaharie Ahmad Shah1 was a very experienced senior captain with 18,000 hours of flight time. We old pilots were drilled to know what is the closest airport of safe harbor while in cruise. Airports behind us, airports abeam us, and airports ahead of us. They’re always in our head. Always. If something happens, you don’t want to be thinking about what are you going to do–you already know what you are going to do. When I saw that left turn with a direct heading, I instinctively knew he was heading for an airport. He was taking a direct route to Palau Langkawi, a 13,000-foot airstrip with an approach over water and no obstacles. The captain did not turn back to Kuala Lampur because he knew he had 8,000-foot ridges to cross. He knew the terrain was friendlier toward Langkawi, which also was closer. The pilot did all the right things. He was confronted by some major event onboard that made him make an immediate turn to the closest, safest airport.For me, the loss of transponders and communications makes perfect sense in a fire. And there most likely was an electrical fire. In the case of a fire, the first response is to pull the main busses and restore circuits one by one until you have isolated the bad one. If they pulled the busses, the plane would go silent. It probably was a serious event and the flight crew was occupied with controlling the plane and trying to fight the fire. Aviate, navigate, and lastly, communicate is the mantra in such situations.When I heard this I immediately brought up Google Earth and searched for airports in proximity to the track toward the southwest.There are two types of fires. An electrical fire might not be as fast and furious, and there may or may not be incapacitating smoke. However there is the possibility, given the timeline, that there was an overheat on one of the front landing gear tires, it blew on takeoff and started slowly burning. Yes, this happens with underinflated tires. Remember: Heavy plane, hot night, sea level, long-run takeoff. There was a well known accident in Nigeria that had a landing gear fire on takeoff. Once going, a tire fire would produce horrific, incapacitating smoke. Yes, pilots have access to oxygen masks, but this is a no-no with fire. Most have access to a smoke hood with a filter, but this will last only a few minutes depending on the smoke level. (I used to carry one in my flight bag, and I still carry one in my briefcase when I fly.) What I think happened is the flight crew was overcome by smoke and the plane continued on the heading, probably on George (autopilot), until it ran out of fuel or the fire destroyed the control surfaces and it crashed. You will find it along that route–looking elsewhere is pointless.
  12. That just looks like a plane landing at an airport That won't work with only the nose wheel down It also wont work as the 20 miles from the nearest airport..!!
  13. Really sorry to hear that, Its like loosing one of the Family.
  14. I'm no where near an airport, Heathrow is 20 miles away and big stuff don't fly into Docklands .
  15. Well what do you think, almost took the top off our office..!!
