  1. I tried and failed. Gonna have to give another meet a miss. Too much to do at the house Have fun everyone. Looks like it will be great weather
  2. Just outside Portsmouth Paint looks awesome. Brill you're a top bloke!! Where abouts are you based bud?
  3. Top colour is Chic shadow, bottom is warm pewter. All dulux stuff. Yeah give me a shout whenever mate and I will tell you anything I know.
  4. Wow sounds like a big project. Did you not have a survey done before buying the home as most of that would have been picked up on the survey? How much was it to have the Ethernet ports wired into to your home? When I viewed the property it does have Ethernet built in but don't know what category it is EG, cat 5 or cat 6. I'm not too upto date on Ethernet but I do use it with my play station and its considerably faster. I'll check out your Instagram too :-) thanks Yeah the electrics were picked up as something that would need to be done at some point, so made the decision to just get it done now. I did all the data myself. 60 quid in cable and then about 200 ish for the rest of the stuff. Had to have a different set up to most as I haven't used a conventional data cabinet. I need to hide it all behind a radiator cupboard so have had to use a wall mounted rack.
  5. Oh and as for where to buy stuff. We have a bit fro ikea which as you know is all flat pack and not as cheap as it used to be IMO. If you have a GF like mine keep her away from next. Spent a absolute fortune on this stuff, but on the plus side it all comes pre assembled. B&Q for paint and keep receipts for the paint you don't use. We got the disposable paint trays too, which after a day of painting the last thing I wanted to do was scrub out a paint tray (I'm lazy)
  6. Expect to do more than you think. We have just bought our 1st house, thought it was just going to need to be redecorated and then move in. Turned out we needed a full rewire (2.5k), which then lead to the whole house needing plastering (2.9k), then decided we should replace the fire place for something more modern (3k) then flooring for the whole house (3k). we made the stupid decision to decorate ourselves, Biggest mistake we made. If I did this again I would get someone in to paint. Had to sand down all the woodwork which was a horrible dusty job. All this whilst working 12 hour days like most of us. Had the house 3 months now and not spent a single night in it yet. Can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel but it's been stressful at times. Also if you can, do as ekona says and run data cable. I have run cat 6 around the house which is a bit over kill at present but I thought I would future proof, and now get 72mbs out of the wall in every room. Actually enjoyed wiring everything. If you want to see some pics of the transformation have a look at my Instagram jimboy2
  7. Had my first visit to them on Tuesday and was very impressed. Apparently the worse they have ever seen a compression bushing and the quickest he has ever replaced them. Think he had it all back together in just over a hour! Will be going back for future works for sure. Was quite nice to be let to wander underneath my car so I can have a look
  8. 145 posts about potential gearbox issues. When buying my 350, gearbox issues wasn't even a thought that crossed my mind. I was more worried on what fuel had been put in and any knocks I could hear. Just chill and not worry so much over something that isn't a issue. How can you ever enjoy your car if you going to be worried about every notch in your gearbox.
  9. I feel sorry for any potential new owner joining this forum over the next few days. There are about 5 gearbox threads for almost no reason.
  10. Haha that's why I put the email to one side and eventually forgot about it. I though it was a scam lol
  11. Amazing video and I personally think it's the perfect length. Lovely looking zed too good work
  12. I was asked for my input on that guide and completely forgot, oops
  13. He sounds like the most laid back bloke in the world. It's cooooooool maaaaannnnnnnnnn
  14. It's PH I expect nothing less. Bet someone has said their F40 was boring to drive
  15. What is BT sport lite? I signed up to them 2 months ago and haven't even had chance to use the internet yet as we are still doing up the house. Pretty peed off with now having a charge on BT sport. I don't watch football, I only watch the UFC. Think I will just get rid of BT sport all together and go back to watching illegally!
  16. In Guildford tesco. INZ number plate
  17. They could have put all the 370 footage into one 4 minute video lol
  18. Code sent to richmprice. Good luck pal
  19. Anyone want my code? You couldn't pay me to go to MK bowl again. Horrible venue. PM me if you want this code. Not sure if there are any tickets left tho.
  20. What the real question in this thread is... Where do you find these road with no public huh huh??
  21. All these spots in my area and not one of them was me! Need to use it more I think
  22. That can't be right surely? So in year 2 every new car will £140. Is that right? And anything over 40k pay £310?
  23. Have a look under the car your bushes may have failed. Check my thread as I have the same issue http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/99334-creaking-noise-turning-left-and-dodgy-looking-suspension/#entry1498361
