  1. When you swapped the memory card did you swap the files too? Im pretty sure the sat nav software is on the memory card and it tries to boot into that upon sartup. As for the USB... mine worked no problem. My Windows 7 laptop recognises it as a mobile device and launches a device control center...
  2. That is a Nurrish system. You have to hold the power button on for about 4 seconds before it powers on. As you have removed the dash, plug the power in and turn on the ignition - and you should be able to see a red light on the PCB if it's getting power...
  3. Welcome mate. Seems to be a few Clio boys over here now...
  4. I've got a Fiesta for a shed but it's not worked out how i wanted... i now only drive te Fiesta - my zed gets driven about once a month now. It's nothing to do with money either... i've put my zed on a pedestal and treat it like it's too nice to drive now - i might as well sell the zed tbh...
  5. I reckon i'd have put them out of a job with my 2.18 seconds time...!
  6. Woohoo! Vodafone just called me and i've won a baseball cap signed by Jenson Button for getting the fastest pit-stop time of the weekend (2.18 seconds). Pleased with that, but to be honest i was hoping for a job offer
  7. Why not wire them to the first setting on your headlights, and then remove the w5w sidelight bulb if you want? That's what most people do.
  8. +1 on the Goodyears... fantastic on the road and track. Completely changes the car having quality tyres as opposed to the usual budget options (Falken, Avon etc).
  9. Quality... Until he started beating up the little girls
  10. Sat in its new owners garage won't he be upset missing that bracket¿:-) Is that your old car? Hes not missing it And yes it is Brilliant.
  11. Yes i would... I always stick up for the underdog, regardless of the situation. For what it's worth, i was watching this thread since day one and was hoping that it wasnt a mistake and that you all got a good deal.
  12. Fair one... i'll remove the names from people's quotes as that wasnt my intention... (which i tried to back up with the smillie!) - i was just illustrating my point that some people's reaction wasnt cricket.
  13. It doesnt disprove it does it though The price they'll come back to you with will be about £300. Having to deal with everybody's emails/cancellation is probably going to take the guy half a day to do which is just wasting his time.
  14. Is it a fundamental rule?? I've heard people say this all my life, but im sure it's not true. Exercising consumer rights, or trying to rip someone off?? Get a grip mate. It's one thing to take a punt and see if they honour it, but people are now saying they have the RIGHT to have these items at this price... Examples... (not picking on anyone here btw, just examples to back up my point )
  15. Huge + 1. Was just about to post the same thing until i read this. If the guys under priced them by £250 each, people want to have 20x that amount off him?!? So just take 5 grand off an honest seller?

    Ramps?

    Dont worry about that, Im going to be getting a garage built and 2 poster is at the top of the list but for now its outside where its cold Marzman do you have some normal plastic ones? The shape of them looks like the front bumper will scrape? No mate i've got some old school iron ramps but my Nismo kit scrapes them. WTF is that!! I've never seen anything like that before?!

    Ramps?

    Fair one. Makes a huge difference working under ramps too - so much better than stands. I'll keep my eye on this thread as my zed wont go on the ramps i have...

    Ramps?

    Just drive onto a piece of wood - that allows me to get my jack under
  19. Was it a ticket only event or a freebee? Freebie
  20. Great pics buddy... Correct - he was driving the MP4-23 from 2008. I spent the day there today - i had a great time (Thanks Mike for making me aware of this!) I was stood waiting at the trackside on deansgate for 2.5 hours before there was any action but it was worth the wait... The MP4-12C looked good (although quiet), but the F1 car was incredible! As mentioned, the noise is just unreal.. it just screams it's so high pitched! Absolutely brilliant. The smell - just brilliant I was also impressed by the crowd... the announcer reckoned there were 20k people there today and i can believe it - and the reception Jenson got was excellent... i didnt think people would think Jensen was that much of a star, but he was getting huge support. It was a good atmosphere. Lastly, i made it into the Vodafone VIP zone (anyone could go in there), and i had a go on the Pit-Stop challange. Me and 2 strangers had to change a wheel... you had a few practices and then they timed you. I was with 2 strangers (a chinese guy and a spaniard who looked like Alonso) and i had the best job of operating the wheel gun. Until we went on the fastest time of the day had been 2.63 seconds, and then they timed us and we got 2.18!! The announcer who was commentating on Jenson all day said we were the fastest time of the weekend so far, so if no one beat our time i think we'll be winning some merchandise... so will be watching the phone this week... Here's a compilation of clips i took (really good at 2:25) and some pics. Video quality seems shite though, but youtube is still processing it so it may improve.
