I think the powers that be think that you are promoting equipment produced by some company or other.

It's because the mod thinks you have an interest in the item other than for your personal use. Probably not helped by your newbie status unfortunately.

I have fewer than 14 posts, so am justifiably confused. Oddly the thread header on the homepage still contains the censored word.....

dano0 - I think there may be a 'word bank' on the zone that sets alarm bells ringing for some reason that someone far cleverer than I can explain.

That's it, really :?

i've got one of "those" manifolds on the sport in my sig.

& when i got it nearly 2 years ago (from neil at autom@c) i never had any proplems with the firm.

& iirc it was one if the fisrt they made & i havn't had any props with it at all.

& no i'm nothing to do with the firm in question.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

So where can i buy a plug? Are they suitable for all or do i have to specify the size?

Actually just checked, i think i need two plugs. Only problem is i need one plug of each size, The plug for the one in the garage will definatly need to be slightly smaller than the plug for the Bath upstairs.

Now come on, what is all this '*Plug*' stuff? can someone please write the name with spaces between the letters :evil:
