success storey for a change! - since iv had the car the clutch bite has been on the floor and gears grind only slightly when gunning it (like when you go through the gears whilst joining a sliproad) so i was told it might be the clutch not disengaging 100% when changing at speed, wich made a bit of sence.... so i followed the faq's and iv solved it!!!! its great now and its not half as heavy!! - i also fixed the horn!!! (turned out to be a bad earth so i mounted it on the otherside!! feels great to drive now!! - anyway i noticed that only one of my zorst make noise....bit weird so i had a look down both and...... os... ns..... have a guess wich …

Hey, Been tidying up my dads car for most of the day, now he's gone to go home but we have no lights, no fogs, no sidelights (front or rear) and as soon as we turn to dipped beam, its just constantly stuck on full beam and wont come off, not even any dash lights. However the brake lights are working fine. Anyone have any idea what might be causing this, as he was hoping to take her home tonight. Thanks Rich

Hello there, My heater blower has suddenly decided to stop working. As all the lights on the climate control panel still come on and you can hear actuators moving when selected and no fuses were blown I assumed it must be the fan itself. I checked that there was voltage at the motor connection with the fan selected on and I got the corresponding correct voltages ( 4, 6, 9, 12). So assuming it was the motor I took it out and tried cleaning it using the info on here. No joy.... So I sourced a replacement fan, fitted it... still no joy. Reading through my workshop manual I found the self diagnosis test for climate control so tried this. Upon starting the tes…

hey guys just trying to mot the zed but itsd running rich a ballsing up my emissions how do i adjust the mixture a tad to get it back down ? is there a mixture screw on thrittle bodies? heeeeeelp

We have something called eu-kontroll in Norway. Same as your mot. About the emission test... Like many others I don't have the cat on my car anymore. What about mixing ethanol e85 with gasoline.to pass the emission test? Wouldn't that lower the emissions enough to pass along with the fuel dampner trick?

Is it still The Beast for East, or has someone else taken over? Any pictures and specifications would be great.

might seem like a retarded question but just fitted a new coolant sensor and wondered it i need to worry about if there are any air pockets or anything?

Dont suppose anyone has bought any ECU cables from ebay before? I thought i would try this: Click Here to see if it would work and im having enless problems trying to get the drivers to install, the guy isnt even english so he doesnt understand what on earth im on about when the drivers wont install! I have asked him to send them again in case they were corrupt etc, but it just wont install! Ive tried other drivers which are so say for the usb to serial emulation but god knows, it just doesnt want to work. So personally i wouldn't bother buying from this source!
