Hi, I've looked at all your shops online (god I could spend thousands) :) My car is UK manual..... I need a gearbox speed sensor & a pair of rear bushes (the big ones). Please say one of you can help! Please post/PM or email any help thanks harve

My abs has never worked but decided to check the control unit and got 2 flashes back. Done test as to manual and got 'replace actuator', is this just the black box or whole thing in the boot? Not sure if i should start repairing as i think when fixed if more faults will only then show? Also got bigger/better discs/calipers, and heard abs is not so good? Any help appreciated.

to replace the dipstick tube without removing/lifting the engine? Cheers

ok just had a good look through the faq's and old questions etc, where can i take a vacuum from for blitz dual tubby timer. manual just says somewhere behind the throttle bodies and theres fookin loads of hoses there!!! also does the ground need to be attached to the handbrake - what is the difference if you just ground it? and it reads hkPa or something, what relation is this to bar/psi? thanks fellas!!!

Thought i would show my pedals from Autovation. I initally had their standard set but after i had fitted the "dead pedal" i thought it looked crap so i sent them a scanned image of the plastic block and this was what they sorted for me. I know Jeff Silva from Autovation wanted to get you opinion as to whether this looks better.

bout to do an oil change, in the past garages have always done it. just wanted to confirm a few things. warm engine, remove sump plug, drain. remove filter. grease up o-ring on new filter, and fill filter with oil. fit filter (hand tight) fit new sump ring and refit sump plug. fill engine with oil. problem is - how much oil shall I put in. Ive already filled the filter with oil so it doesnt run dry for the first few seconds. I dont have a working dipstick as tube has been crushed by some donkey!! so I cant dip engine. Is it 4.5 litres to put in? Cheers

I know its a repeat question but what is the best oil to use , or is the ep 90 in w/shop book recommended best to use, I know i've seen it somewhere to use mt90 redline, if so who supplies it?? Richard

I Am About To Change The Middle Section Of My Exhaust.if I Were To Install Two Straight Through Pipes Would They Affect The Running Of The Car Because The Pipes That Are On It Now Have A Balance Pipe And A Common Silencer. Can Any Of You Guys Let Me Know What The Difference Is As The Standard Pipes Are Separate. Thanks

Guys Just checking to see if any of you can add to what I already think is the problem. After doing the manual conversion, and bleeding the clutch pedal, its still completely useless!! The kit came from AndyZ and was apparently working when it came off the car. The slave cylinder doesnt push out at all and there doesnt appear to be any leaks anywhere?!? The pushyout bit!! lol on the slave cylinder is realyl slack!! You can move it back and forth! Is it fooked? I think so...any ideas?

Does anyone know how to go about selling the number plate from a car that has been broken for spares? The car hasn't been declared off the road yet.

How can a registered member insert an image to there theard? Thanks :rolleyes:

I have just found a hole on the left hand side of the steering column that was cunningly covered with a bit of black tape. Can anyone tell me what this should be for, if there is a stalk missing and what that does? Cheers

I have removed the front spring and shock absorber and I have found play in the upper link arm on both sides. Is this normal. If not what is the best repair. The manual is not very clear. The play seems to be between the bolt and the bush. Any help please. Whilst I've got the front suspension in bits is it worth changing any other wearing parts. Thanks.

Hi all, Would anyone be interested in a small group buy for a set of 6 brand new Nismo 555 injectors? They do NOT come with O rings but I believe these are quite cheap to buy. The price will be no more than £400 delivered to you. I'll need to buy 5 sets so if anyone's interested, please add your name. Cheers Vijay

Ive purchased some digital gauges for turbo etc anyone know how to wire/connect them as the instructions are useless thanks

Putting the zed back together and under the steering wheel there are 2 black air channel boxes. How the F**K do you put the big one in? I have removed the smaller one but when I try and twist it in and up into the part behind the center console, it just wont go!!! Ive spent nearly 45 minutes now laying in awkward positions, twisting and turning the pipe. Im presuming it goes in that side first then into the right hand side for the door vent shaft afterwards.

Not a problem, just after some info. Collected my 1991 TT import on Tuesday and have fallen instantly in love :bow: :bow: Its has many trick bits on it :hyper: one of which is the boost gauge. Its an aftermarket one - MINES ??? been told this is a good one? It reads in kg/cm though, so what is the converion to psi ?? cheers Dai

hi all, firstly its a tt, i have a chip & boost jets (not sure what sort, whatever z world use), free flow filter & exhaust (not brand makes). what is the max safe(ish) power i can build on the standard internals, dont mind fitting turbo's etc if necessary, is there a good series of stages to build good power or is it a case of buy all at once, then fit? thanks in advance for any help/advice, steve

Got one! Well pleased, was worth the wait and looking around. 1995 on an M plate with 68k on the clock. Drove it home from Manchester and she drives like a dream. Everything nice and tight and no rattles, everything seems to work fine. Temp stayed just halfway, and oil prressure just under halfway. No service history, so going to get cambelt service etc done and put some good oil in. Thanks to all who gave me advice etc. Nice one guys. Have put pic in 'Rides' Was the photo I saw in the advertisement

Hi guys im about to do a manual conversion on my SWB Surely the 2+2 propshaft is longer so can i just change the front UJ for a manual one? If anyones done this and can give us some advice pray tell TA. :confused:

Silver Zed going London Bound on the A2 yesterday around 17:45, N-Plate looked standard except alloys and exhaust.
