  1. Just get one that's been looked after, they're all ace! If you fear you may catch Zeditis, then get one with some of the starter mods already taken care of. If you think you won't catch it, sadly you're incorrect DE driver.
  2. I have the pioneer, app radio is a waste of button presses with my iPhone 5. You can get a firmware update and a cable plus an apple cable to make it all sing and dance, but I really can't be bothered. I don't need facebook on my headunit when I'm driving. Works spot on for everything else though, BT is decent, weirdly you can't use USB lead to make calls from the HU, only BT. Works well with the ebay special reverse camera too.
  3. These two things can save you hours. The grabber is indispensable for non-ferrite objects, which is good when your putting ally or titanium or plastic nuts & bolts in places. Best thing is, they're cheap as chips. Mine has a little LED on the end too, which is a nice touch. Whilst you're magging up, the magnetic dishes for storing nuts and bolts rule too. http://www.amazon.co.uk/STAINLESS-STEEL-MAGNETIC-SCREW-BOLTS/dp/B0043MCC52
  4. Very nice Zed and nice snap too
  5. I don't really allow passengers as such, they add weight and clutter and think it's appropriate to eat and/or drink inside the car
  6. I found that if you're sifting CVs and you get a single one where the applicant can correctly use less and fewer, to and too, and deploy an apostrophe - you don't need to worry about any of their other skills, just grab hold of them, they can be trained to do almost anything else! They have proved they have attention to detail, English skills and actually give a @*!# about the material they're distributing about themselves, oh, and also about getting a job
  7. What Dan said. Other than that keep ringing them, if you can, get a name and keep calling the same person every single day. They'll get bored of trying yo fob you off.
  8. No idea what my numbers are but I'm a big fan of my prescription sunnys. Even when it's not especially bright or glarey, they just make my eyes so much more relaxed, which is great for long journeys. Just remember you've got them on when it actually starts to get dark!
  9. Munguin. It's part monkey, part penguin.
  10. Something else to think about. Cheers Mike. No sign of it today though
  11. Well hello there lunch! Nice to see you again! Nothing wrong with a keeping you meat & 1 veg nice and smooth Sent from the Jaaaaaag at the golf club YAAAARRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPP Trimmed is one thing, isn't smooth a bit freaky?
  12. Braun Cruzer 4. It's like a regular electric shaver but it has a slidy thing on top that you can use for non-babyface smooth. Only one length but it works for me. Not too scruffy for the squares in the office, but deep down, people know you're the kind of maverick who doesn't always play by the rules but does always get the job done. I think Jack Bauer would have one. Allegedly it goes in the shower but with no shower mirror, I tend use it old skool, over a sink.
  13. Simple but effective. Nice work. You've rekindled my interest in this...
  14. Of course. Naturally I searched before posting didn't find many actual resolutions.
  15. Cheers fellas. I've got a friendly tech next door who'll hook it up to his super computer if it comes back on tomorrow. Hopefully that'll at least give me a connector, or area, to check once more. She was in for a lip respray today, you don't think some overspray could've snuck into one of the front impact sensors? I know it's a long shot but...
  16. Checked them more closely now, all look and feel secure (who knew there were so many?). Disconnected battery. Left her five. Still there. I've reset again and gone, very short drive, not appeared again, left her to think about what she's done overnight. Just out of interest. When the light is on does that mean the system is disarmed? Or likely to explode in my face any second?
  17. On the way home from work the air bag warning light popped up. I had a quick rustle under the seats, checked everything looked secure, nothing loose, did the reset from here http://www.350z-uk.com/index.php?showtopic=3047 and it went away. However, 5 minutes later it's back on. Grrrrrrr. Any suggestions from here for further fiddling or do I have an actual genuine light I need to go and get looked at? Going to have a proper ratch around after tea, once I've kicked off the suit. What colour leads should I be examining down there? Is it yellow? Thanks anyone.
  18. Back to St Anne's Bodywork for the minor lip incident to be erased from history, all good now. Thanks to John and his fine work there, highly recommended and competitively priced It seemed rude not to get my strut brace painted too, hiding the scratches from countless golf bag ingresses and egresses. Really quite pleased with this.
  19. Love it. Next project? Sledgehammer for walnut?
  20. After a few Colombo style emails (thanks Jez @ Horsham, TDI, RS and Scott @ Abbey for quick responses all round) turns out she was remapped at Horsham last year. Well deduced JJT. Not sure why the previous owner omitted the receipts for that and the plenum spacer, but hey ho. So, what do I do next? It's kid of scuppered my plans for faster. Not sure it's worth doing again just for the Berks? Maybe cornering next? Eibach ARB kit front and rear? Open to suggestions...
  21. +1 on camera if you have a headunit to match. I think mine cost about £25 all in, plus some free advice off here. I'm a non-mechanical type and got the fear on bumper removal, but it was actually relatively straight forward in the end. I've found sensors (admittedly on other cars) a bit paranoid, prefer being able to see than pestered by beeps. Boot loads of detail here. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/56481-kenwood-ddx-4028bt-rear-cam-install-–-superguide/
  22. Mine was noisy and stiff, until I gave the spring a liberal spray of white lithium grease. Took two applications a week apart, then nice and smooth. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_213859_langId_-1_categoryId_165705 The tricky bit is getting in the footwell upside down and not getting the grease everywhere or having a back spasm.
  23. This looks perfect for a Super Bowl party in Feb.
