  1. I think they are usually 52mm the Spa gauges.
  2. Hmm I don't know it catches a bit. The lads on the JNW site said that the hills not that bad really, but there's a pot hole that's huge apparently. I should have asked my sister to look today, she's been there for the night with her feller (Dirty cow )
  3. My sister said she has seen one knocking about that sounds similar to this Wez. She said she was going to ring me about the girl in the front seat (not Vicky the girlfriend), then she realised the wheels were gold and not black like mine.
  4. Is it not just the old Getrag being a Getrag?? There clunky.
  5. Damn just bought the kids an 8" ferguson one. Ideally I wanted twins ones, but couldn't stretch to them. They are cheap so you shouldn't have any probs shifting them.
  6. The usual one for noise from clutches is the release bearing being noisy. But I wouldn't describe it as ticking, it's more of a grating/grinding sound.
  7. 1-2pm I think Keep your eyes on this thread http://www.pradbone.f2s.com/forum//viewtopic.php?t=2755

  9. Is it a scraper or a breaker Wez?? How low is the Do-luck from the floor on yours?? The TS front on mine is low. I can live with a bit of scraping but I don't want to break it.
  10. Yeah that's what I thought
  11. I wondered were you was going with that one Wez
  12. Great nice to see some discounts close to home Well done that man.
  13. I use AVI2DVD for mine, seems alright really.
  14. I actually enjoy CNC machining, there's a certain sense of achievement when you get a block of metal, work out and write a program, pick and load cutters and then do the job. Some people work on multi-million pound machines at work and everything is donw for them pretty much (programs, probing etc.) all they do is load a billet and press go. Where we have to do most of it ourselves on our little section. It's harder work, but personally I feel it's more rewarding. Some of the managers/supervisors are a bit irritating, but we usually sort them out. There's also little perks like having the ability to make "foreigners" etc. Although I do tend to shit myself when flying airbus, and I see a row of bog seats (I think the tech term for them is centre hinges or somthing) in the wings, that we've probably inline bored
  15. I think the flyer business was only for Mascrat they'd had some problems with some local mental hospital patients/chavs turning up and being a bit undesirable. So they did the flyer business for the benefit of the members so that only they'd get in. I can't see that being in effect at Nells
  16. Yes you need to give 90 days notice to a company before taking legal industrial action. I am pretty sure that the union will distance themselves from the "unofficial" strikes. I know they do here when we have a walk out dispute.
  17. I am with Sky (Age 27 coming up 4 years NCB). I can't remember my quote for last year but it was about £1135 IIRC. I got home to see my renewal on the floor, I thought ooh time to see what it will be last year. When I opened it I was very dissappointed. They want £1001 and that isn't including agreed value (which my previous year did). The best bit is the bloke on the phone last year said my premium will be loaded because of no previous experience with a RWD car of this sort. So next year I will see quite a significant drop in premium. I was expecting around maybe £800 this time. So I will be getting some quotes elsewhere first and if they don't match/better them I will be off I think.
  18. I still think that what the Unions and the workers are doing is right. I just wish when we got shit on from a great height with our pension people would have made a stand. But the soft shits wobbled when the company said they'd shut the pension if we didn't accept it, of course they'll say stuff like this they have to shock you into accepting it. We balloted for action and the rest of the BAE sites rejected the poll for action. So on the face of it one supervisor lost £50k off his lump sum. After giving the company about 40 years service, oh and he had to work for 3 years longer otherwise it would have cut more. Labour should have scrapped half of the rules/laws that the amazing woman brought in. I think that it's good that people are making a stand for there working terms and condition. We rejected a 17% deal over 3 years early in the year, the money was good but the terms were unsavoury. They wanted agency labour, 100% inspection, acceptance of CI (continuous improvement), amongst other lesser terms. In the end we settled for 4.5% with no strings pretty much. Again the money isn't the issue the terms are.
  19. As I said in the first post I think it is, but a day could be made of it. Do I hear 2 pub lunches in 1 day

  21. I would like to hear the other 17 demands too. I back the postie, as I know only to well how big companies like to shit on the average worker. We rejected a paydeal this year, it was a nice payrise (17% by 2011, but the terms were unsavoury to say the least. So we settled for 4.5% (pretty much no strings deal)with a view to talk with the managers, to see if we can iron out the "mistrust" of management. The Royal mail terms are far more serious than what ours would have been
  22. Yeah Vicky's free (well handbags and shoes aside) where as the Hiltons, I can imagine being very expensive
