  1. I like the reading apps when i have 5 mins spare, so Sky News Discovery News MTV News Sickipedia (awesome!!!!) Facebook Tiger Woods golf TV Guide Tune In Radio Epic Fail Shazam Skype iDaft is good Pic2Shop But best of all is the website iphone.tvcatchup.com which allows you to watch freeview for free. You can save the url to your screen and it appears as an App.
  2. Yeh looks like the same as what im looking at...
  3. The ones im looking at allow you to purchase for 5% down, and you own 100% of the house - but have to pay back the 15% loan they give you within a certain time. And even if they do change some interest on the loan, i should be better off paying that rather than the £600pcm in rent i pay now, for which im getting nothing in return.
  4. Hi all, Okay, as some of you know, i've had a tough year, with my fiance and i in an expensive legal fight to keep her in the country (she's african), during which time she was not allowed to work. Anyway - the case was resolved last week, and she can now stay permanently, and return to work. So, we can finally get our lives on track and start thinking about buying our first home (not that we can get a joint mortgage). Unfortunately after the legal bills, we've been left with nothing and have to start saving for a deposit... but i cant be arsed...!! To get a good sized house i need a deposit of £20k which will take us a good 3 years to save, during which time i will have wasted another £20k on rent So - can anyone advise on what options thre are for first time buyers like us? Any help would be much appreciated...! (and thanks to Sarnie for some advice already ) I've just been reading about 'Shared Equity'... can anyone advice on pros/cons? (and does it even exist anymore?) Are there any other schemes like this?
  5. Here's mine from last year... not done one this year...
  6. Cheers all... Will try out Admiral and Morethan. I got an e46 323 Coupe in August as i couldnt bare the fiesta anymore.
  7. Hey all... Im just trying to get a quote for my 3-series beemer, and i cant get any decent prices. Cheapest i can find is £857 with Swift Cover for: 27yrs Old 6 Years NCB 25k business miles Legal cover Courtesy car and Protected No Claims I've been on the following sites: GoCompare Aviva DirectLine ComparetheMarket Confused.com Frankly i think £857 is a ridiculous price - i paid less for my zed last year! Anyway - i've just seen that the Protected No Claims is a £112 option! Is it really worth that? What would happen if i made a claim - my premium would go up anyway surely wouldnt it? Any thoughts on protected no claims - whether its worth it or not?
  8. I read on the news today about a firm that provides accounting services on a small scale, for a cheap price... and it won New business of the year - thought they sounded good. http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Busine ... rs_Winners
  9. Love the boot hatch, but hate the wings...
  10. Sorry mate, been away. Here's updated link. Page 47. http://www.myzroadster.com/files/2006%2 ... al/atc.pdf If the link dies again, its "http://www.myzroadster.com/files/2006%20service%20manual/atc.pdf"
  11. Dont know about the revs, but the speed you need the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) wire. viewtopic.php?f=35&t=18962
  12. Ooh feel for you mate. I had spinal surgery in 08. Didnt have the titanium discs though as they said i was too young (24 at the time), so i had a Wallis Ligament procedure. Still had to cut a massive hole in my back for it! Anyway - they absolute key thing to recover is you NEED physio, and lots of it. As they've sliced into your back, you have no muscle control there, so your body doesnt hold your spine in place, meanning the pain will soon return...! PM me if you need any advice on it mate, as i've been through all this and i know its no fun!
  13. lol, good luck changing a headlight bulb on the zed at the side of the road... it's a bumper off job.
  14. Autocar is the only one i read, as i cant really be doing with in-depth pieces and irritating editorials - just small articles does it for me. Also, i dont recall autocar currently having any alloy adverts...
  15. 2.5v forward voltage, 30ma superbright white 5mm LED's. eBay - bought from China.
  16. Can you get an auto-electrician to read the codes on the car before letting the new box go anywhere near it? Worth the extra 50quid for safety's sake no?
  17. ... i'd have done the same, but the joke may be on you... the 60bg PS3's are rare and worth quite a bit more than a regular PS3 i think... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARE-60GB-PS3-/18 ... 2a0ab4dd56
  18. Just get used to charging your phone every night, and leave it switched on... thats all i do.
  19. What are you trying to achieve? Asking a question like this is an absolute long shot, but if you give us an idea of what you're trying to do then perhaps someone has done it before...
