Bought the wife one for her birthday a few weeks ago...she loves it:rolleyes: Dont get them personally as I prefer the whole 'book' thing but takes seconds to download a book and must admit it is a whole lot smaller than a huge book collection

we use the Bradford factor at work also... our score threshold is 80. Think it is made up of NUMBER OF ABSENCES X NUMBER OF ABSENCES X TOTAL NUMBER OF DAYS OFF in a rolling year? Its great if you have a single long absence but not good if you have a few short spells off :(

I am sure you can use LSD oil in a 'non' LSD axle but not the other way round..I also used comma oil, bought it mail order on the internet (was doing all oils in drivetrain so cost in ok with postage) from Wilko's.. it was up north somewhere but very reasonable compared to prices down here in...
