I haven't a clue what it is but there seems to be a nice pool of something under the car where the driver side is. One thing I do know is that I have to keep topping up my brake fluid as it keeps disappearing somewhere! Could it be that? Looks like something is broken under there and that something is leading to the back of the car. Any help would be nice, I'll try get some pictures of it sometime, just my friends nicked my camera for the weekend as I can't make it to JAE! :cry:

Just thought id post to say what had caused my Zeee to misfire... Doin 70 then it started misfiring and speed droped to 50ish with no power in it. It would trundle along but not past 2500-3000rpm.... AHA i here you say...its the MAF Nope :nono: The CAS...nope :nono: The PTU...nope :nono: A fookin re-circ blanking cap had blown out...FPMSL :rofl: Luckily it was still on the undertray as it would of taken me ages to find that problem...not what i would of looked for really....so i thought id share if maybe oneday it saves someone alota bother and money replacing the MAF :rolleyes:

I wonder if anyone has had this same problem? I took the car in to have new Track rod ends fitted. At the same time I had the HIcas set up. I got the car back and since then it appears to have developed a wobble at slow speeds. Kinda like its got a buckled wheel? It seems to be from the rear end. I took it back to the garage and they examined the car and the bloke said it is most probably an unevenly worn tyre which dips a bit in the middle and this has only now shown up because it is all set up correctly. Now I aint no expert but that seems a bit of an excuse to me? Any thoughts would be gratefully recieved (however) sensible ones would be prefered?
