As suggested I tested the right hand side with Datascan, but got very different O2 result between the two sides, can someone advise which side is faulty? Right hand side At Idle sits at about 90, as the rpm is increased to 2000 it gently swings between 90 and 10 (about 1-2 seconds per oscillation), and continues to do so at a steady 2000rpm. Left hand side Sits at 35 at idle, as rpm is increased towards 2000 it dips slightly to about 32 and stays there, at 2000rpm it stays at 32, but when the throttle is released it slowly rises to 55 and then falls away to about 35 again. Would I be correct in assuming that the left hand side sensor is defective, as it…

Anyone want my stock TT exhaust? it's pretty much the full thing, cats and all, with a hks superdragger at the rear. Only thing that's been done to it is the 2 wire things that go in to the cats were cut. It's in audenshaw (edge of manchester) and it needs to be collected soon. also got air con compressor and some random other bits. I think I've still got the stock rad (looking a bit rusty) and probably the auxilary fan (although I'll have to check it's still there).

I dunno if anyone read my post about my ideal car... 2+2 Twin Turbo Manual Targa Seems whenever I think I've found a z32 I want one of them bites me on the bum. I rang about one today but the guy wasnt in. He rang back while I was caught unawares (without my list of questions to hand) but it was ok we talked a while and I asked loads of questions. The car sounded great! Then just as we were about to go he says... oh yeah its automatic. AAARRGGG! The FIRST question on my list and I forgot it. Now I know a lot of people will actually prefer the auto's but I really want a manual. Or I'll find a manual and think YES! But then it turns out to…

My car has had recon engine and turbos fitted, the garage working on the car has been having problems for the last couple of weeks trying to get it to run right. Weve progressed from not starting a tall, to running on 3, 4, and 5 cylinders, now we have it intermitently cutting out on one cylinder. They have put some used (but apparently good) coil packs in so its not them. My question is, what are the usual things to check in this situation? Please please can I have as many suggestions as possible so I can put them all to the garage and see which ones they have already done and which ones they havent and hopefully get me a step closer to getting my car back on the road - …

The bloody boot catch next top the drivers seat has stopped working - i can hear clicking but the boot stays locked unless opened with a key - any ideas?

A few weeks ago my HICAS light started to come on occasionally. After searching through the forum I came to the conclusion that the fluid needed topped up. Job done and problem fixed for the first time I drove it. Then after that every other time I drive the HICAS light stays on and never goes off. What does this mean. TIA, Dave G

I took my 2nd attempt at flushing my coolant system today. Flushed the rad again and flushed the filler bottle now i know what its for! I was firing water into the filler bottle at pressure and watching the dirt come out of the small overflow pipe into the rad, then once it was clear i flushed the rad again. I then realised that there was loads of water going into the filler bottle but not much coming out the top! I then looked under the car and to my horror saw loads of water pouring out of the underside of the car below the water bottle! I had a feel around and i think its coming out near the top on the neck somewhere. I then thought well I must have just broke it…
