  1. no probs Dan, we like you on your box!! The points you made are more than fair. Having never been asked to do this (all my customers are fleet operators) I would also hazard a guess that the switch would have to incorporate an on/off warning light too.

  2. Exactly, it's not illegal to disable an airbag, nor is it illegal to alter a car so it would fail an MOT. However, in your scenario the owner would have a claim against the builder UNLESS it was made clear that the works they were carrying out under direct instruction do not pass current building regs. Can a building company even absolve themselves of that responsibility, as long as the work is not dangerous? I don't know. Graham, if it's because your insurance won't cover it if it goes the way of the pear then that's a different kettle of fish. That's an insurance issue, not a legal one. I maintain though that if the work was done to a high standard that ticks all the boxes of the current regs and everything practicable was done, then there can be no liability. Look at it this way, here's a few scenarios: 1. Switch badly installed by electrician, car sets itself on fire or airbag deploys when it shouldn't = Clear liability with the sparky as the regs were not followed 2. Switch installed correctly, but not in correct off position when rear-facing child seat used, car has an accident and kid is killed = No liability, work was done correctly and it was the user that got it wrong That's how I see it. I think that's what I said earlier:- "That might be the case Dan"
  3. That might be the case Dan but my insurance policy that covers me to work on motor vehicles prohibits "modification or alteration to the air bag system of any kind" And on that basis I won't, simple, end of. This together with the potential fault codes/lights is just not worth the hassle quite frankly. Just being curious, is that mostly because if you accidentally detonate 7 airbags in a rolls-royce or other such luxury you'd bankrupt the insurance company? Or because of killing someone if you get it wrong type of thing? or a combination of the two Nail, head.

  5. As tech installer says, purely for liability reasons I wouldn't go anywhere near it. Added to that there will always be a possibility of error codes when air bag wiring is "interfered" with.
  6. Chaps, as some of you will know I have recently had new yellow Brembo calipers fitted to the old girl. These replaced the Azure ones which are now offered for sale, they were painted Azure approx 20k miles ago. They work perfectly well and were on the car when it passed it's MOT in May. They, naturally have chips and the lacquer is coming away on at least one caliper. I'm offering these for £500.00 plus postage/courier Register your interest here and confirm by PM please.
  7. Dan is only interested in consuming food, huge burgers come to mind!!
  8. They are avaialbale on iTunes Adrian.
  9. You'd better thank all the people who kept the secret too Bob!! There were hundreds I should think
  10. ^ As it was on the original thread " If you have outstanding orders with Tarmac then you should contact them via their website." Sadly we assumed that people would know how to find that all on their own
  11. Guys, this thread is to enable Tarmac to have contact with members interested in his products via Grundy, Steve0 and Aliveboy. Please keep it as that and don't fill it with questions about his ban. LIKE ALL BANS IT WILL NOT BE DISCUSSED BY THE TEAM EXCEPT WITH THE MEMBER CONCERNED. To be clear, any further posts of that nature will be deleted. Thank you.
  12. Yeh, it was him, the muppet. He got back to Eeabank at back of 3, didn't realise he had no shoes until I got up in morning, he did mumble something about losing his cap before he passed out. Ben said he was no trouble at all, just very "tired and emotional"
  13. Seems SteveO went to some lengths to explain why he didn't like them. I'd say that's more than a "bad experience". He's not the first I've heard say this either. Sent from my Zed using Nangkang tyres front, RE040's rear
  14. He was found in the long grass outside the pub by the bins by Ben in the pub who was awoken by strange groaning noises. Turns out he suffers badly from hay fever and that combined with copious amounts of alcohol finished him off. Ben offered to walk him back up to the tents and he agreed.!! Pmsl. Ben tried to ascertain that he was putting him the right tent and spotted a jar of olives , so to check, he asked him if he liked olives, the guy replied, "is that a trick question!?" Ben left him to it. Sent from my Zed using Nangkang tyres front, RE040's rear
  15. Locked as there's already a thread here:- http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/99381-last-few-tg/
  16. Safe trip guys, take it easy, saw Netti's picture of Bennet's wheel on Face Ache, ouch!!
  17. That made me chuckle, apprently he did the voiceover after all nonsense.
  18. He's got a buyer and agreed a price, take his mney and let him get on with it. Do NOT part with the car without all the normal precautions.
