  2. Dave, you apparently forgot "same day/next day"
  3. Bet they've sold loads of them BoofSquire would be perfect for the job
  4. I wonder if you can get a roof rack for the Zed? Hush my mouth Take some 2x4 with you to put on the ramp
  5. I don't know if there's a difference but to fit 54 Coupe, all four corners please.
  6. You nut Keep taking the tablets Sorry mate couldn't resist, sat here with an evil head cold so needed cheering up. Next post in here will be 'facelift bonnet with the bulge £10'...a stick on bulge though
  7. I'm hurt and offended that you didn't notice me in August
  8. All done in 1hour 20mins, mind you our broadband speed here is pants, will have a poke around on the phone a bit later.
  9. I googled a bit and found this as I wanted to understand a bit more than I currently do, maybe others will find it interesting too, sorry if it's a bit nerdy but I thought it was worth the read http://www.contactmagazine.com/Issue54/ ... asics.html I was saying the car's only have knock control up to 4800rpm as a stock after this RPM the car doesnt have knock control. This is all in the stock ECU. If the car see's heavy knock readings it will switch to the high detonation map which has around 5 degree's timing removed. The car that we have here that has failed hasnt had a bottom end failure from what we can see , it has had piston failure. The car had a full service prior to dyno work. 1st pull on the dyno I noticed some wrong spoke to Scott saying I think the car is running 95 Octane fuel , he spoke to the customer that confirmed it was running on 95 octane fuel. I have a feeling that the usage of 95 octane fuel may have caused weakening of the piston's maybe due to continual detonation over a long period. Mark
  10. See my edit You may also need to update your Mac software first as well
  11. Plugged mine in at 11:17, need iTunes update first, we'll see what happens Best part of 300mb update for iTunes, Safari and a security update
  12. That's the one that's a 22 mile round trip
  13. Decisions decisions, 5 mile round trip fro Vmax and rip off prices or 22 miles for Momentum at a reasonably good price and Club Card points?? Ideally I'd go to the nearer Tesco as it's usually cheaper and only 14 miles but the front lip catches on the ramp on the way out
  14. I don't know how accurate this is as I'm no expert but a friend of mine who is responsible for IT security for the company he works for is concerned more for the resultant instructions they will have to give employees. For example, you attend a company conference or presentation and next years business plan is shown on a whiteboard, you photograph it on your iPhone and the cloud "pushes" it to all your other devices, potentially you have just made confidential corporate information "available" to all the usual types who like to hack that stuff!! Another example is what we've all done at some point I guess, you work all day at the office on some critical/important project and want to finish it at home at the weekend, you take the company laptop home or you email it to yourself via a company secure server, or you copy it to a memory stick, all very old fashioned it seems, but wait!!!! Now you can put it on your cloud and, again, it's "out there". As I said, I'm no expert but my pals inference was that he's more concerned about policing that kind of activity than he his with regard to the actual "cloud" security itself. In a way this reminds me of the recent banking scandal, those people responsible for corporate profits pushed and pushed the boundaries until the whole thing came tumbling down, all the while assuring Joe Public that everything was ok. Are the IT comapnies now going down the same path, recent and ongoing events at RIM (Blackberry) have to be a cause for concern. I use a Mac email address for my business and in June next year that will migrate to the iCloud, I have to decide what I want to do. I'd also love to know what some of you more literate IT guys think about Bullet's questions, thanks for reading my ramblings
  15. Didn't you mean hairless? that would be nearly 18" then ..... but there's still nothing to see out of the back window from this low down - whats the weather like up there ?? airless
  16. Page 8-3 of the 2004 handbook says this:- FUEL RECOMMENDATION Petrol Engine Use unleaded premium petrol with an octane rating of 98 (RON). If premium petrol is not available, unleaded regular petrol with an octane rating of 91 (RON) (yes it does say 91) may be temporarily used, but only under the following precautions: Have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regular petrol and fill up with unleaded premium as soon as possible. Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration. However, for maximum vehicle performance the use of unleaded premium petrol is recommended Pretty sure it tells you to run 98+ unless in emergencies then you can use 95. As Mark has pointed out countless times, it goes into high det map when you run 95RON which looses you power, but the assumption was this would also stop you engine destroying itself. If it doesnt stop it then this high det map cant be relied upon and everyone should most definately be using 98+ . However there are quite a few people who have run 95 for a long time. Dont know if they are just lucky or what.
  17. +1 I run super unleaded 95% of the time and never fill completely with unleaded when I have to buy it, having said that spursmaddave is approaching 100k and I think he uses regular most of the time but I'm sure he'll be along soon to confirm or deny As far as I recall I think the handbook recommends 98 octane. Can running unleaded really do this? It's a bit scary if it can I hope you both get sorted ASAP Dave is apparently on 98K!!
  18. Col you clearly have a case of Zeditis
