My engine is out of the car at the moment, changing injecters and turbos. Question: Best (and money wise) way of curing noisy lifter/s ? I wondered about just removing/cleaning ? or bite the bullet and buy all new ? Any help advice appreciated.

My alternator doesn't start charging the car until the revs hit around the 2g mark. I can start the car and it will idle fine (unless the battery is flat) but when you measure the battery voltage, it sits around 12 volts. Raise the engine revs to around 2000 and then the alternator kicks into life and starts charging normally (around 14 to 14.4 volts). Does this happen to everyone or am I lucky enough to have to swap out my alternator ?

Can someone please tell me approx how much leather I will need to replace all the sh!tty tweed panels i.e. door cards, rear seat panels, glove box, center console etc. but not the seats CheerZ in advance

Thanks to Stuart (Magnum5) :D for fitting my HID's on Sunday and getting round the issue of the connector and to my lovely boyfriend for putting my door back together properly It's great having men around that know about cars :hyper: I can see in the dark now.... while driving Now the bell shaped plastic cover (that goes over the light) has got a rip in it where do I get these covers?

Would be nice to get it done as the right hand (drivers) light i…

Where is that picture on here of the engine bay with all the labels. Cant find it! Looking for O2 sensor plugs.

Now i have Falken 451's all round on my lowered zed SWB TT i took the chance last night to see how good the grip and corniering ability is. And by gum its good. I can weave the car through bends and roundabouts quickly. And where i did push it a bit to far the loss in traction was gradual with a nice squel from the tyres to warn me. The handling is not in the same league as one of the 4x4 rally car scoobies i suppose but for thrills per pound i am very happy :)

Where is it and whats it do??

Happy Birthday bud :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: Have a good one :D

Spotted a dark blue new shape Micra this evening as I was coming into Melton on the A607 (Leicester side) The Lady driver was frantically waving at me :confused: Would this be the other half of one of our local members? Ivan maybe? Didn't have time to wave back, as I was wondering "who the bloody hell is that mad woman?" :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: (Only joking)

Any one had enough experiance with this over the past few months to write a guide? The program seems to offer lots more than i use it for (which isnt much really!) but ive no idea where to start! Was thinking maybe someone else could post some ballpark figures for what a standard (ish) well performing zed should look like.... Cheers all

:slap: Had a problem with my 2nd hand power flow cat back system. The flange that bolts to the cats one of them had broken away from the exhaust. No problem I thought, get it welded by my bro's father-in-law. Anyway, had a call from me dad and he's had a look at it after getting home and he says 'it looks like they have welded the flange in the wrong orientation' :cry: My car is my daily drive, I've had to borrow a car today to get to work. Any suggestions appreciated ChrreZ Paul

Ok, I've got a 91 manual fairladyz & 2 questions really. Firstly the spedo cuts out at 95mph & i mean completely, the needle just drops back to 0 & comes back up when i slow down but all else seems fine otherwise. i'm guessing this will be down to the black box convertor thingy but just wanted a second opinion?? Secondly, I was caning it down the a12 last weekend & seemed to hit a limiter in 4th but it was only around 4500 / 5000 rpm, I didn't think this was right as I've been past that in the lower gears. Is this normal?? If not any ideas on this?? Cheers dudes

Things are different from the UK and Dubia. On roads which people speed in the UK, they install speed camera, put in those chicains or even speed bumps. However they are sign posted and because they take so long to install them we all see the new "Traffic Calming" deviced being made. Not in Dubia, they just install a huge speed bump without telling any one to catch people off gaurd. Watch! Especially the Gallardo at the end which takes off.
