  4. Mum will be chuffed:D Robert, We really should get a picture of the our three supras together...... I still have a soft spot for that car
  5. Mine.., had a wedding for 200 at Gibson hall.... that part of the city is crap for parking.. car was very dirty as well
  6. F-con has been good on mine for the last 5 years - keep it
  7. try here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?225708-Top-Secret-Bonnet-Water-Channels hope this helps
  8. the flexi hoses from the pump should have closing valves on them.........just turn them a little on the output side to reduce the flow
  9. Has he tried reducing the output on the pump valves to see if the 'hunting' goes away? if it does, the 'feeds are not supplying enough water
  10. in short, yes, you can get a warrix in 1/2 inch. My cylinder had 1/2 inch thread ( which the flange srews into)....my plumber's merchant had to order it it in, took two days 'The plumber said something about needing a 1/2 inch flange instead of the usual 3/4 inch: ' what is he on about?. the flange clearly fits the cylinder o.k as I said before, just make him swap the pipework around.......should be job done shame you're too far from me, I'd do it for you
  11. http://www.bathroom2u.com/images/large_images/AC403.jpg - surrey flange http://www.plumblineltd.co.uk/image/cache/data/platinum/00001429-001-500x500.jpg - warix flange if you look at the body of the flange, a surrey flange is fixed, the warix body will rotate. it's not very clear in the picture, but it looks like a warix flange to me............just get the pipework swapped around, shouldn't take long John
  12. I've recentley install a 1.5 bar shower pump with the same flange. no problems with 'hunting' or air being drawn in. As previously stated, the shower feed must come from the top outlet. The top outlet has a dip tube that goes down inside the cylinder to prevent air being drawn in. you do not need a 'u' bend in the pipework to the pump. do you have a direct independant cold feed from the water tank to the shower pump? if not, the flow rate of the pipe work may be insufficient if both the cylinder( hot) & the cold feeds to the pump are tee'd off together Do not run the pump too long if this is happening.............it WILL b*****er the pump. hope this helps edit......how big is your cold water storage tank? How much 'head' ( above the hot water cylinder?)
  13. have a look here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?225708-Top-Secret-Bonnet-Water-Channels
  14. with the right harnesses it's virtualy plug & play.......ask Dude
  15. My brother has a relatively new Disc 3,- 2 years old......had no end of electrical gremlins, be better off with the landcruiser Jamie
  16. Very good toys....easy to maintain / fix if you break them out handles almost everything on the road, not too slow if you run an engine at around 270 bhp ( tuned Vauxhall or K series Lump)
  17. anyone want to start a book on how long it stays at bpu:D:D
  18. Brazil, I'll try for you. He might remember. I think Mario is working somewhere else, I'll find out
  19. Bad news chaps, Gvn is no more. very sad for Gerald, he was badly 'screwed' by his landlord, which put him out of business. I have the number for Richard( the guy who did the spraying at GVN, pm me for details)
  20. At my age, one birthday a year is enough thanks:D
  21. if she is a maine coon / cross she'll grow very fast, eat a lot & like very high places. they're fantastic hunters, so if you're going to let her out, expect lots of 'presents' brought back for you:) Our boy is only 1 year old but already is nearly 7 kilos, he's got 2 years more growing to do yet, lol hope you enjoy her for a long time
  22. that looks very much like a Main coon (which are quite expensive cats) with the ear tufts & classic 'm' on the forehead. if it is, the could end up being a very nice natured (and large) cat It's appaling that someone can be so cruel.
