i suppose we all should do the buy it nows… then await the invoice for paypal, ebay insists that all sellers take paypal, then we can continue the transaction… With the theory that the “seller” would then incure ebay fees of 10% on maybe £20k? and i believe ebay would enforce the fees? We would be safe as wouldn’t have to pay until an invoice was raised and then would be through paypal proper:) would be interesting for sure… would make the person think a little maybe:)

i would get a cheapo cg125 as above… don’t loose value and then gives you something simple to play with when you pass whilst you wait for a nice bike – its summer so prices are up a bit…

have hit ‘buy it now’ button and said to seller I’ll drop cash round, so we’ll wait and see!

could be amusing, suppose it will mean that least the seller might get their auctions pulled to save anyone else – there are others that have bought from him

there is a mobile number on one of the other ads?

interesting image used?
Also who lists lots of bikes (see his other items) using ebay mobile?

my miles to empty changes…. depending on how i drive…

its a crappy thing is ebay, if you are a seller that is. I know it prob won’t help but have you contacted ebay about the previous abusive emails. He might have realised he has to buy it now but personally if it has gone for more than they would normally go for then it would raise my idiot radar… contact ebay on live help and tell the situation. Tell them you intended to block him for abusive emails. Maybe this guy has been a numpty and realised he would have to buy it from you but i would personally expect an apology and asking if it was ok first. or if hes not man enough to do that instant payment…. hes done neither.

what line of work are you in zerocool?

i think you might have to be a bit careful – the finance might be from a third party and as such they might not be involved in the deal was a watchdog thing about this a few weeks back where someone cancelled a car and the finance wasn’t cancelled… so might make your position weakened if you can’t cancel the finance?
If it was me, might be worth a trip over on the pretence of checking what the situation is – i realise you haven’t signed anything but i assume they have the finance in place and have credit checked you and the like…. so have a trip over and just confirm everything and see what is occuring.
Which three tyres are they replacing anyway? i would always want to replace the tyres on drive axel at the same time so this would be an issue to me?
Go and voice your concerns – as said previously they will get a % cut on the finance deal so if you wanted to arrange your own finance then they might not have been so keen to move on price/parts

yeah….
really you need so much more information…
It could be Afib like chappy above – doesn’t affect life that much other than maybe some medication through to rhythms that might have more of an impact.

The echo will be to visualise your heart, and see what it is doing during its cycle, see if theres any physical defects and also see if theres any defects in the valve performance. The tape (?) i assume is a 24 hour tape – basically i would guess your heart is not giving problems at the moment – normally these odd beats occur when you’re not at the hosp nicely wired up to a machine so they normally wire you with a small portable recorder that will just monitor your heart over a set time period with the aim of picking up some irregular beats, this allows them to see the nature of the rate and see where it stems from.

The issue is lots of things can cause an arrhythmia – it doesn’t have to be a problem with your heart so really at this atage it would be a case of needing to find the cause.

Reading up seems lots of people suffer irregular heartbeat with no identified cause and no real effect on their life.

I wouldn’t really read up until you know what type you have, there is really too much variation and you can’t really get a picture until you know exactly whats occuring.

I would suggest you maybe have a google and a think of the important Q’s for when you see the doctor…

(by the way am in no way medically trained and this is my opinion only and doesn’t reflect anything more than the rammbling of a muppet)

its a shame you’re not in higher education – there is a good discount i believe on such purchases….:)

how did you send them? would assume its standard parcels? so you have proof of postage? and thus u might be entitled to make a claim from royal mail? not going to cover the cost of the forks but would allow you some refund on your loss?

have you measured the voltage when the stereo is in use? to see how it dips?

are the engines not from the general motors comp? didn’t know they borrowed the alfa lot?

i have bought some random stuff from the far east and some of the company names have been funny. The quality has varied massively… batterys normally seem to be good on the whole, just they generally over state their charge giving figures twice as high as anyone else in the universe and the like but the batteries have normally been fine from most suppliers i have used.

to quote – http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/157826-overview (generally reliable)
The QT interval on the ECG, measured from the beginning of the QRS complex to the end of the T wave, represents the duration of activation and recovery of the ventricular myocardium. A QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) that is longer than 0.44 seconds is generally considered to be abnormal,

and if you go to
http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/157826-workup
there is a point scoring system and a QTc of 440 doesn’t give you a score, it only starts being important when more than 450…

if you are concerned go see a doc for sure, patients don’t follow textbooks and you have to remember reference ranges are for the 95% of the population and the like, i would have thought if your bro’s condition was a risk factor they should have offered you some tests back then?

I wouldn’t use wiki, google gp notebook or patient.co.uk they normally have reliable information and advice how to proceed. Was the session surpervised? no one to get some advice from?

Do let us know tho….

we just had a chat with them about our price plan, when you first go through you tend to get the call centre abroad, we keep saying we wanted to leave and came back through to a lass in wales. She instantly offered way more of a deal then the nice people from abroad and so i asked why they didn’t offer these deals and save me hassle and she said they don’t have the remit to do so, so make sure you go all the way through the system. have a nose what other people do, even if you don’t specifically want what other people do, we don’t need 20mb internet but wanted more than the 2mb elsewhere and so we downplayed the speed as it wasn’t a big thing for us and we ended up saving a few £££

Well…
in the uk the standard now is 100amp but there are a lot of older properties with 60amp main fuse from days gone by… that haven’t got problems. There is no difference in the supply but just what safety rating they have, i would say 52A would be too low for a barn conversion given there is maybe a bigger demand for electricity but it would also depend on if you have gas heating and cooker. Also once its in it might limit future development?

On a side note I’d heard Tour De France riders often die early because of over training the heart muscles. BS?

I thought it wasn’t uncommon for a lot of atheletes to develop abnormally low heart rates and blood pressures precisely because of what they do.

The aim is to maintain a cardiac output of lets say 5 litres a minute. Now if you think of a heart as a pump, people who do a lot of training tend to improve their muscles and their heart is included, therefore their pump is more efficient and thus it can run slower as it pumps better each time so you would expect a very fit person to run a lower pulse/heart rate so average is 60-70 and then marathon runners and the like might get down towards 40 beats a minute.

OP – your body maintains the bp at what it believes to be normal and what pressure is needed to ensure your kidneys get enough blood so i don’t know what your doc is on about regarding low bp for your fitness:S your bp is what your body needs…. It is unlikely to be too low for your needs or your heart rate would quicken?

suppose it depends on the history as well? I mean Vag use their own oil no? and if you don’t go for the right oil then there is premature wear – am tired so facts escape me but believe they formulate their oil differently due to its use and so important to use the correct stuff. Also its normally injectors that tend to go on high mileage diesels no?

How have i found a post from so long ago i dunno i swear i wasn’t on the old old pages! Hmm!!! Sorry for bringing the dead back to life

like you say i suppose chains are so cheap that this doesn’t really make sense but i am still impressed! It looks pretty to me! and is nice to see an alternative. just wonder if there would be potential if there were some big players involved – surely there is some room for some carbon there? they use carbon fibre drive-shafts in cars nowdays? i realise the cost would prob render it uneconomical. Just never seen one before:)

Yeti? seem to hear nothing but really good reviews about them?

I agree with the above!!! Go on a forum for the car… I own a ibiza and on the owners club it lists their common faults and i think i’ve had most of them, thankfully they are cheap to sort out!
and if you find a car you like find a dealer with a mint one find out how much extra it is and go test drive it. I always want to know what a mint car drives like! Some cars are lumpy or a bit hazy and its hard to know if something is worn or if its meant to be like that! My ibiza has “sports” suspension and so it hates any form of bump in the road, if you didn’t expect it you might think it was a fault but having been in a mint version of my car i know its how its meant to be!
Never buy the first car you see either – an old piece of advice but its true. You want to have time to think about it

there has to be a good pun in here somewhere?

we used to have it when they offered it free with their mobile contracts (dunno if they still do) and it was a bit slow, but generally ok, tho i agree with the chappy above about their router – they gave us some tent shaped thing and it was truely poor!

have heard it work after using welders on lots of forums… personally would’t dare when they are cheap..

try the british dental association?

When you take it over a year, your insurance company get their money instantly and basically you are taking out a loan, so kwik fit get their £xxx that day and then you have a credit agreement with some 3rd party normally.
Therefore what you should do is fine a nice 12 month interest free credit card and use that…

its all about the risk probabilities… if you select certain options then you have a certain profile and thus a certain risk, it isn’t about logic, just about the relative risk of that profile. I’ve had many curiousities during my time and when you ring them up they can’t explain them, just what the computer says.

The one that always gets me is that comprehensive is cheaper then third party only for just about everyone i know due to that people who insure third party only are statistically more likely to have accidents… even tho they’ll all go comp now given its cheaper… go figure eh

If i popped into lbs and they estimated it i would expect a quote when i brought the bike in to have the work done, if they couldn’t quote i would hope they would give me a figure t best case and a figure at worst case and ask for a number to phone to ask what to do. this might seem like i’m asking a lot but i think its reasonable.

I wouldn’t want to leave a bike with the idea of not knowing the cost or maybe at a massive push the top end.
I realise there might be things crop up without you knowing but really i would expect you as the professional to account for such things.

when do they stop calling it rioting and start calling it looting?

Least they stopped calling it protesting!

why don’t they turn off the mobile network?
leave just the police on the network for now and turn off civi network would stop passing of info

had issues with indicator on passat….
the relay is built behind the hazard switch itself but thats not normally the problem, the main problem is normally with the indicator stalk – gets crap built up and can cause problems – normally a spray with some wd40 or the like might be a fixer – worked for me, mine used to make buzzing noise randomly

uni library? if you ask nicely they might help?

maddest version had a self-loading field gun in the nose for anti-shipping.

EPIC! lovely plane to look at,

the pricing is odd… paid £19 for a single from durham to ed a few years back and a return was £20…
I think it was messed up by the government selling it all off….

The Barnes Wallis Quote – amazingly epic!

Ministry Official: You say you need a Wellington Bomber for test drops. They’re worth their weight in gold. Do you really think the authorities will lend you one? What possible argument could I put forward to get you a Wellington?

Barnes Wallis: Well, if you told them I designed it, do you think that might help?

I like the idea of capital punishment 🙁
William Hague made some good points on it

pitfall is selling it on after you’ve used it might be difficult!
At higher mileage injectors can tend to wear leading to more smoke than usual from a diesel. More miles means more things like stonechips.

I also own a ibiza, 02 with 135k on it and tbh it has had a few problems but none to do with its mileage – more to do with age!
I think i would rather a 150k mile 06 car than a 85k 02 car as long as its had its been looked after:)
