i honestly dont know why it got slated if it did, it cost us 400 for four nights, thats 100 a night for a family of four which in my opinion is good value, the lodge was that good you dont have to eat out, it has a full size cooker as well as microwave, dishwasher, toaster and everything else you need. we did a fair bit of activities like jake went horse riding £18 i think for 45 minutes which apparantly is the norm, kayaking for 30 mins £8, ten pin bowling 45 mins £25 i think, hired two bikes with a trailer £70 for the 5 days.

you can spend as much or as little as you like, i honestly thought it was superb and the kids loved it, we went swimming the first day for 4-5 hours and thats FREE. Had one of the best chinese meals ive ever had as well an that was £60 for 3 of us (max is to young obviously haha).

Ive just booked again for Jan, their are 8 adults going this time and 4 kids, cant wait

Went to chillfactor today, great place but total rip off and bloody dangerous, went sledging and jake went into the posts that seperate the sledging from ski lessons, very lucky to be ok but has a big bump on his head and a mark on his leg, no-one seemed that bothered either, muppets

dont know mate, i never asked as i was after one, i just wanted them to put some safety barriers across to stop it from happening, whilst we were there 5 or 6 kids slid into the fencing or across into the ski school, it got the bad that the fella watching took all the blue sleds the kids where using away and said he was also going to complain.

If we go back and nothing has been done then i will complain imediatly and also ask for a refund and also their risk assessments.

centre parcs did get a slating but to be honest for the amount of people going it is going to have a few with issues. Look at trip advisor for any hotel anywhere and you will also get negatives.

3 day week this week, then off to turkey temps are mid 20s at 6am

my mates in turkey at the moment, loves the place.

centre parcs from what ive heard gets a slating purely an simply down to cost, you can go and spend no money at all so i dont see why people moan.

as of thursday this week we are having a heatwave apparantly. ive got the next 4 days off so i hope it is, little max is 1 on thursday

got a new car stereo the other day nothing great but the features are fully loaded

has Bluetooth plays mp3 and has a usb and SD card slots i wanted it for sd card and its great so far

only issue ive just had is its wired like i always do to permanent live so i dont have to have the ignition on and use the stereo. yesterday made a call or 2 and this morning car wouldn't start flat battery now weirdly if you dont disconnect the Bluetooth connection on the stereo it stays on and connected even with no face on weird i just hope its that

bought this

nice one that seems good value, I may need one for mine, it has the 6 disc changer but a button is stuck down so it no longer reads cds. Radio works fine though. Only thing is I would then need to get a convertor as mine is double din

Yeah its not bad

Seen a couple of ST`s but putting the feelers out there only offering 3.3k for her car and I would like 4 as I dont want to spend more then 3k

seen these

I would like the performance blue but this seems a good deal just seems iffy as 2 owners with that spec and low miles

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...ge/1?logcode=p

the right colour but these only offered 3.3k for hers

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...ge/1?logcode=p

hows yours going Jay?

mines ok, do have an injector problem that I need to sort but no biggy. Runs nice though no smoke, noisy at first but quietens within minutes.

Once I sort the injector I will be looking at a remap of sorts,upto 200 bhp with buckets of torque - nice

nice

Car was dead as a donkey again this morning the inside light even didnt come on

I rewired the stero again put it on the ignition so hopefully it will be fully off now when the face isnt on

had the battery charger on all day while in work

is it safe to put the multimeter on the neg of the battery and the other prong on the neg battery lead thats disconected from the battery - I want to see what the car is drawing in power but dont want to blow up lol

multimeter will only measure something, it wont actually make a circuit if you know what I mean. Are there boot lights in your car that are on? Happened with a car my mum used to have, took a good few days and aa call outs to find it!
