I hate people (who have obviously never had a serious medical condition) saying "oh, I don't like to take tablets, not even paracetamol when I have a headache". If I had the same mentality, I would be dead or in a nursing home.

Hi Champ, are these supersoft? If so very interested. Rich

pretty much what Captain said really - would only add that - do not admit that your company/product is at fault until all the facts have been checked (depends upon the scenario obviousely) they are only look for a general attitutude test so don't worry about it too much - they will appreciate the time you have also spent investigating what should be done

That poor lads been kicked out of the northern saloons before hes started as new regs came out banning a central seat positions after he built the carOoops I need to keep up, one of the quirks of the new boardroom is that you can thnk you are at the end of a thread and there are other pagess..DOH

Should add, just for clarity, my comments referred to the Zetec on OEM plenum etc that the OP mentioned, NOT the Mazda engine! If, and it's a big if you're fairly confident that you'll not want to do huge amounts to the car, (or are happy with the idea of trading up cars rather than modifying), then for anyone wanting the minimum of tinker time and maximum driving time, I would say you need to keep the car and it's components as close as possible to how the original manufacturers intended them. Personally, in the current WF line up, I would say by far the best way to do that is with an MX5 SDV car. A standard MX5 engine, (or lightly tuned), as fitted in a Westfield, seems to be much less of a compromise than a boggo standard Zetec. (Not having a pop at Zetecs! ) It's only if you plan on steadily developing a car over time, or want to buy into an already developed car that a multi donor vehicle starts to make more sense. The important thing, is that either route will be bags of fun!

Texts from unknown ambulance chasers, telling me I'm owed £X000 from a road traffic accident I was involved in, some years ago.

Emma, I think you're oversimplifying the anti-pill brigade. I avoid taking medical drugs of any kind and would rather suffer a headache than pop pills. However, due to high blood pressure, a heart condition and diabetes I take 9 tablets a day. I tell my doctor, who is a personal friend, that if I see him professionally I don't expect a prescription. He informs me that nearly all his patients would feel cheated if they didn't get a prescription after a consultation but only half actually need medication. My pet hat (on this subject) is overuse of anti-biotics. If you take them for every infection then when you really need them they may not work. You bodies own defences will fight minor infections unaided. Yet, due to Lynne's pneumological condition she has to take anti-biotics for the slightest lung infection. Which is about every 6 weeks.

goodness me in true Dragon's Den style I am out
