Right guys 'n gals I'm currently in the process of putting together a photo shoot. I have the use of a model, a photographer for the day and we have a location. What I NEED to know is....

we have had a very large no of customers coming into us with O2 sensor failures in the last week or so (on Mercedes), all indications seem to point to a problem with Tesco's fuel (at least here in Kent) although this has not yet been confirmed. I have just been on the phone to Tradings Standards who confirm that they have had very large nos of complaints accross all manufacturers :eek: :eek: :eek: please be aware as I know many people use Tescos 99RON fuel!!!

Parked in Bristol at 9am on saturday morning and was gone for 1 hr... came back and saw some red stuff on the floor... I thought, hmm thats strange, only to find out that some w anchor had vandalised my car... :rant: :rant: They have scratched about 2 square inches of paint off my front wing with a penknife or something. So anyone got a passenger front wing in red (AG2) for sale - might be cheaper than a respray!

Somebody asked me about engraved zippo style lighters I can now offer these at £20.00 inc delivery these are available in brushed or polished chrome finish, they have a the "z" logo on one side and either your site name or real name or whatever on the other side. If you are interested pls let me know. I can offer genuine zippo's but they are much more expensive (Harder to engrave and more expensive to buy in) these would be £35.00 each. pm me or leave a message here. hope this is ok with the mods as no-one is offering these :D :D

Hi All, My old exhaust has rusted out and I'm going to replace it with a stainless steel system. I'm looking for the full system as it has rusted from the cats all the way down! Its a LWB (2+2) Turbo. I'm not sure whether to cut out the cats or get new ones. If you get rid of em is it illegal, and does it still pass the co2 test on an MOT?? I have been looking around and its not easy to get an entire system. where did everyone else get theirs??? Post it up!

Hi all.. I am considering buying a set of 19" alloys for my SWB N/A, that has HKS hyper damper adjustable lowered suspension fitted. I was only going to consider fitting a maximum of 18's, so as to not ruin the handling etc. but a set of 19's have become available. Are there any drawbacks to fitting 19's on a lowered zed? Opinions appreciated. Many thanks, GUMBALL. . .
