General Car Chat / Re: elite suspension

Will try and explain this and if there are errors I am sure somebody will be along to correct them.

The shocks are pumped with air that is provided by a compressor that is mounted under the offside front wing, the level is controlled via a valve mounted on the offside on the rear axle, from what i understand the compressor only runs when the ignition is first switched on. The compressor also has a relief valve which releases air till the vehicle has attained its correct pressure/height for the given load on the car. So when you first start the car the compressor runs puts air into the rear shocks controlled via the valve and released via the compressor as needed, the compressor does not run again until the vehicle is stopped and restarted.

Think thats how it works

I would shop about more, my last renewal was for a Jaguar XJR V8 Supercharged which I think was group 20 the original quote was £670 from swiftcover but got it from Tesco in the end £380 when I swapped to the 3.2 Omega they gave me £20 back, 45 with full NCD no points claims etc. My daughter is 26 and has a Astra VXR insured for £490 with Adrian Flux

General Car Chat / Re: Car Keys stolen

« on: 11 December 2011, 13:01:27 »

I had this a couple of years ago with a 330ci someone took a set of keys from the pub, took the car to Sytner at Leicester, they charged me £45 to deauthorise the keys and £87 for a new replacement key. I already had a spare but did,nt fancy relying on one key.

You have probably been through Ebay but just in case this struck me as being nice

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-OMEGA-2-6-MV6-AUTO-ESTATE-51-REG-FULL-BLACK-LEATHER-XENONS-2-OWNER-/300632565442?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item45ff18e6c2

Still a bit of trek I know, but sometimes worth it for the right vehicle.

General Discussion Area / Re: Any boiler installers on here?

« on: 11 December 2011, 02:22:37 »

Must have a dodgy install here or something considering the costs quoted. Two years ago we had no boiler central heating etc at all. We had a brand new combi fitted, the house completely piped for the system and the gas feed and six brand new rads, £1500 cash and inc in that was three years free servicing on the boiler (once a year) and 10 years warranty on the boiler. No complaints so far.

First of all a very well written piece DD
I have worked within the Nottingham "nightlife scene" for over 20 years the rules and laws passed do nothing to curb criminal activity they have only served to make the law abiding folk more defenseless and more prone to incident, the Police are unable to protect the majority of people the majority of the time regardless of how high and mighty they think they have become. The law banning guns has done nothing to reduce the amount of weapons within criminal hands in fact just the reverse all it has done is to increase the value and therefore the availability of weapons available. Anyone within the "know" can pick up a automatic weapon for anywhere between 500 - 1000 without problem. An englishman castle is his home and he should have the right to defend it at all costs using whatever methods are available without question. The way it stands now the law has just made the defenseless more defenseless with the argument that the Police are here to defend you so you dont need any means of defending yourselfs, clearly this is a promise they cannot uphold. The same argument stands with all the cameras again they do little/nothing to curb serious criminal activity, ANPR cameras as worthless when all the crook has to do is clone the plates from a legal motor and the whole system is defeated. The only real purpose they serve is to levy fines onto "joe public" we are just fed the criminal bullshit as a way of acceptence. As it is now I am utterly and totally fed up with all the crap I am fed that all these monitoring systems are for my own good. If it ever came to the point I would defend my home and family without mercy or regard for plod and the bo**ocks he preaches. I work away alot and below is Kane, he has been taught to protect his home and family at all costs and I dont give a *hit what the do gooders say regarding animals like him or why they are kept he is there to do a job, a job that clearly nobody else despite the promises are capable of.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/8946652/Melton-Mowbray-Police-inspector-killed-wife-and-daughter-after-being-sacked.html

First thing is this is very tragic and I do feel truly sorry for the two remaining kids and there family.

It seems that his wife was having an affair and the guy used the police national computer for his personal use to try and trace the "offender"
Apparently his wife found out about the mis use and reported him which eventually led to him getting the tin tack.

This is yet another blow for the powers that be that try to convince us that these databases are no threat/problem and will be used and operated in the correct manner for the correct purposes, clearly this is not the case when a serving Inspector of 16 years decides he is above the law and access whatever information he needs for his own personal use and then when found out as a result of his own wife reporting him the Leicestershire Police Force tried to hush it up.
The second point to this is that given the laws we have in this country to many people are left defenseless with nothing more than a phone to protect themselves, we are told we cannot act we must call the law and they will deal with any given situation therefore we do not need to have any sort of self defense, clearly this does not work either, a simple can of pepper spray might have been enough to stop this whole episode.
Being totally reliant on the Police for self protection more so within your own home has not and does not work, it now seems that you can be living with a serving Police officer and still end up dead. Lay down and roll over and hope luck is on your side cause in the real world where most of us live that all you really have.
