E/WINDOWS E/MIRRORS ....and "E/CON" ? Ahh, a warm and friendly approach.

Free to a good home.

Thanks ozz, interesting views on RBS. My thinking was that 1) political meddling with bankers' bonuses (regardless of whether they're morally deserved or not) won't help the business retain the top talent it needs; 2) risk of UKFI Ltd taking a more hands-on approach to running the business (a bit like the bonus fiasco, but possibly encompassing things like being forced to lend more to businesses); 3) selling off the investment banking side of things, although cutting down costs and risk, might severely limit future profits; 4) Virgin Bank, when it gets going, stealing high street customers away (probably a small risk, but hardly helpful to RBS); 5) possibility of a double-dip recession (although the UK has seemed to teeter on the edge and pull away, for now).

"Wafffer-thin mint, sir?"

And the plate was super-clean when he'd finished, not even the tell-tale "I'm stuffed" scraps around the edge. It genuinely doesn't look possible to eat that. Fair play to him.

PS I get the impression forex needs a close eye on it but might be wrong. One of the several reasons I don't intend to do any forex trading.

For those people who dabble, how regularly do you watch the markets? Is it a once-a-night, once a week, etc? Or do you watch it throughout the day?

I dabble a bit (only small amounts of money, nothing that would make or break me). I must admit my track record isn't good. Currently, I don't know what's holding up the RBS share price. It all seems like bad news for that company but the recent performance is defying gravity.

I think caseys covered the main ones. You could also try Footman James, although they weren't competitive for me.

Why the suspicion? Did something in her story not stack up? Something must have piqued Immigration's curiosity for them to phone a contact and give them a verbal probing on how long they're staying for, how will they pay for their stay, whether they intend to work whilst in the UK, etc.

I've read on here that a double decat on an NA is pretty noisy. Edit: I'm too slow!

The 7M is a different engine though (and you know this). Either Toyota have improved their head gasket design when building the 2JZ, or a lot of people on this forum are covering up the head gasket failures that they've suffered. Which scenario is correct? Anyway, we digress... To remove the bad bits, you have to identify which bits are bad. Otherwise you'll replace literally everything. You also have to be satisifed that the replacement bits are better than the originals. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. If the head gasket was weak on a 7M, it doesn't mean the crank dampener on a 2JZ is.

5 years? Pah, it hasn't even been run in according to this guy: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-16852830

That engine bay on the mkI: you could have a party in there! That's from an era when men were men, and car engines were easier to work on.

Interesting read that. A real classic. Very good!

Yes, stock is good.

Probably as Robzki said, but best to check the ECU error codes. Search for "paperclip".

Love it, absolutely love it!

Time for Kenneth...

Genuine LG mains phone charger, purchased by me by mistake. Model is STA-P51US. I don't know what phones it fits: the connector looks a bit like micro USB but is wider than that. Several websites claim it fits the KF757: well, it doesn't! Would ideally like to swap for a decent length USB cable with a micro USB B on the end, but that's highly unlikely I know.

You can forget about code 42 then, unless it re-appears. Note that it only appears after several seconds of driving at more than about 50mph ish with a warm engine, but I think you've got those points covered from what you've described, so you should be fine. Just code 55 to sort out.

Error code 42 isn't sent to the ECU when you just have the ignition on. The other conditions such as engine speed and coolant temperature make sure of that. Old error codes are stored in the ECU until you disconnect the battery for a minute or two. Do this, and try driving it again. That will ensure you are only seeing recent/"active" error codes.

You can enter an IP address into the browser's address bar: http://xxx.xxx.xx.xxx If it's an active website it'll go to that website. You can then use whois.com to try to get info about who owns it. There might be better ways of doing this though.

Yes! I access it 100% via PC.

We have a few physios on here.
