is it normal for the digital climate control reading to re-set itself to 25 everytime the car is turned off, or is there a problem,with it doing that ??

Where is the best place to jack the whole back end up without doing damage? I have two jacks, but was wondering if there was a central place? Cheers...

As well as being new to the Zed, I'm also new to turbo's (used to V8's) and therefore know little about boost controllers. A few questions Is the boost pressure controlled from the module, or do you still need to adjust a valve located elsewhere? Do people slate the seperate boost gauge/boost valve because it's good to have a flash looking gizmo inside their car? Why are the controller modules so wildly different in price? Is there really a huge amount of gain for paying £200 over the odds of another make? I just need this basic info so I can assess fully which unit would suit my needs!

My E280 had been feeling somewhat sluggish for the past few months, and matters came to a head a few days ago when anything other than a feather light right foot was causing the car to stutter and refusing to accelerate. Took it to a Merc garage today and the result was a new MAF (and a huge bill!). Voila! Feels like a new car; amazing how you get used to things. The only problem now is that it doesn't feel any slower than my rejuvenated NA Zed...

I want to put some Tein S lowering springs on my Z, however, the specification says they lower the car 10mm at the front, and 5mm at the rear. If though, my 17 year old springs have sagged, the tein springs may not make any visible differance. The only way I can think to check this before I buy is to find out either; a: the distance between the centre of hub and the centre/top of arch on stock Z springs b: or, the distance between the centre of hub and the centre/top of arch on tein S springs Thanks for your help guys, Dan

this has probably been done before but just wondering what tyres people are using... ive got some kumho ku31 2554517 on the rear and i rate them very high, my mate runs them on his m3 and my dad on his 328 and they love them theyre very good value for money they score highly on my tyres as well http://www.reifendirekt.de/review/110/Kumho_ECSTASPTKU31_Reifentestcom.html
