Got an email from him this morning, Subject was "Important", no message but an attachment called patch.exe I've warned him, but keep an eye out yourselves.

Three men, one American, one Japanese, and an Irishman were sitting naked in a sauna. Suddenly there was a beeping sound. The American pressed his forearm and the beep stopped. The others looked at him questioningly. "That was my pager," he said. "I have a microchip under the skin of my arm." A few minutes later a phone rang. The Japanese guy lifted his palm to his ear. When he finished he explained, "That was my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand." Paddy, feeling decidedly low-tech, and not wishing to be outdone, decided he had to do something just as impressive. He stepped out of the sauna, and went to the toilet. When he retur…

Where do you guys get number plates printed? I can't find anyone who prints rear plates to fit the space on my 1990 Jap import. Halford certainly don't. Anyone got a URL? Ta.

Does anyone know the part number for the powersteering pump mounting bolt on a TT? I've just been into my local mandelas to get one, and it's not on any of their diagrams!??!?! Bloody useless. Cheers.

Does anybody know where I can get a recon or a good auto box from mine is reportedly shagged. Its for a series 1 on a G plate. Matt

Anybody got an Auto box (recon or just damn good) for sale, for a series 1 (G plate).

Guys, I keep getting the same problem with my Z. My fiancee and I both drive it; me more frequently than she. I always get the folowing problem; she never does. After about two hundred miles I get a funny yellow light on the dash; this is followed about 30 miles later by the engine starting to run rough and lose power. I give the car to my fiancee and after she's been driving it a little while the warning light's gone and the engine's running fine again. I think she must take it to somebody for work because I've noticed a £40 ish increase in my credit card bill whenever she has it, not always from the same place. I think this is excellent value for making the ca…

Obviously the 'recorded' BOV amp is way up there. To start the ball rolling: There's a device that connects to your stereo system which emulates the sound of different cars (as it would be heard from the interior) Sad Factor Score 8/10 Pete

I had to take my zed out this morning, the first time in the wet for quite a while. I normally take my other car out when its pissing down but anyway, (get on with it!), I just noticed that on almost every pull-away the arse end was-a-wrigglin' and on most corners the beast kept 'drifting' to the other side of the road. A bit scarry at times!. I am running Pirelli P6000's at the 'mo, and have come to the conclusion that they are shit when driving in the rain (still have about 3-4mm depth) There not that 'grippy' even on dry roads. A friend of mine has a TVR Grithith or whatever its called and he recommended Bridgestones?. Question really is - does anyone else on…

Put a pair of 100w bulbs in my dipped beams on Saturday afternoon. They are H3's onto which I had soldered an additional lead. Well the right hand one lasted about 20 mins before it went out ! Turned out that it got hot enough to melt the solder - that's over about 190 deg C !! (and it was melting the pvc coating on the wire and could possibly short out) So lessons learnt here are :- Use heat resistant shielding on the wire Use solder that melts at a higher temp Drill small vents in the top of the headlamp casing So at the moment I have one 100w and one 55w. I will be checking the temp of the headlamp casing when I get home tonight, and I'll let y'al…

This has got to be the sadest thing I've ever seen... http://www.takakaira.com/accessories/nightpager/nightpager.html

Hi Peeps, It seems a few more people now need the JAP bulbs. Place your interest on this topic, and if I have around 20 bulbs required I will order them. They are 85W bulbs and will be £11 each including postage. Leigh.

I guess this has been posted 1000 times, and I am searching our forum but, my car went into safety boost yesterday. Can anyone tell me a) what the possible causes are? b) Will the cause show up on an ECU diag? and c) How do I cure it? Boy, does it feel slow, that's the problem with being spoilt with 300 horses Thanks guyz Tim

Just wanted to say thanks Andy for changing my well overdue cambelt. Cambelt's looovvvvery but, my Zed went into safety boost on the way home, any ideas? Tim

My car hangs in 1st Gear for about 2 seconds before it gets second (93 uk spec autobox). I'm just getting into this issue, having sorted out several more major ones. Any of you know how to put the engine / gearbox management systems into blink codes, and/or got the technical data to work through this? Come to that ideas or suggestions also welcome - thanks in advance
