I have a TT AUTO and last night I bought a TT MANUAL one as well. Wooowww..What can I say. It has an aftermarket exhaust leather interior and low milage. Inside the engine there is a black box with BLITZ on (similar to the one used for boost controller). I havent seen any boost controller inside the car. I was wondering what that might be? The last think is the stearing wheel. Its kinda heavy and especially when I turn its not smooth at all. I believe this is not normal. Anyone knows what this might be? Thanks

PROBLEM: When driving along I can har sometimes only what I describe as 'running water' behind the dashboard, mostly if I am parked up after a journey and 'rev' my engine a bit. Could it be that when I first got my Z I topped up the coolent with just water and now it is 0 degrees and lower sometimes at night this freezes? or am I thinking about tis too much? AREA: Behind the dashboard, passenger side (I think) but sounds like it runs along the top of the dashboard. Cheers, Matty.

PROBLEM: Upon ignition I can hear a loudish kocking noise which stays throughout the drive but gets slightly less noisy. AREA: I got out of the car (engine still running) and it was more of a 'tinny' sound but it was coming from the back of the engine bay on the drivers side. Is it a simple 'I need some more oil' (have done some miles recently) or something else? Cheers, Matty.

i want i want anyone here be kind enough to upload, or copy and send one to me? please? I have cable modem so I can download pretty quick, but I've been looking for this everywhere, I found where I can buy it, but if someone can hook me up here I'll luv you all forever

Iain(MAC1) posted a pic to me in another thread if you wanna see what they look like. If you want one let me know on this thread, I'm ordering one from Smithy but usual thing, more orders less we pay! Price around the 125 squid mark, take into account that the Navan Auto shifter is nearly 500 squid from Stillen in the US...you can't get them here, and this one looks nicer IMHO.

you know the bit I mean The forward facing bumper mounted plastic cover for the indicator. Dont know if they are directional, but I need one for the passenger side

When I got my car back from SE I found one roof bag behind the passenger seat and was well chuffed at having one, but miffed I hadn't got both! Bummer! But I was swapping my ECU chips over at lunchtime, got the ECU in my hand but I only had screwdrivers on me, no sockets or spanners to undo the bolt holding the plug in...ARSE!!! Then it occurred to me that the Z comes with a toolkit, so I pop the boot and locate a set of pliers...excellent I think, but there was another similar bag in a scrumpled up ball with the toolkit bag! Well I never! The second targa bag...yipeeeeeee! Sorry SteamyZ mate, but I won't be needing your bags now Good job I didn't go…

Does anyone know if the Auto dipstick tube were loose would this cause fluid loss when driving or stationary? Smoking problem on my car, at first it appeared to look like it was coming from behind the engine, maybe gearbox area. However, after looking underneath the car yesterday smoke is coming from the exhaust around the H pipe area and wafting the length of the car and up the firewall. I have got vibration between certain speeds, car was smoking before SE so don't bother going there! Does it sound feasible that transmission oil is leaking out the rear main seal and is only noticeable when the car is stopped as it's burning up on the hot zorst?

I've posted this before, but never had an answer, thought that I'd try again: Has anyone come across an idiots guide to replacing the small window guide between the door frame and the glass, you know, the one that attaches to the back of the glass and runs up and down in the groove. It's bugging the hell out of me as the window 'pops' out of its seal at about 110. Hopefully someone out there can help. failing that how easy is it to strip the door down to get to it? Can someone also give me some part numbers. Thanks Tim

Does anyone know if the right and left plastic timing belt covers can be removed easily or does it mean taking the radiator, pulleys etc out? I want to paint them. Cheerz.

Has anyone got any bolts 2 fit a manual flywheel to crankshaft??? I'll pay for them obviously. Thanks, Shaun

Andy was sitting having a right laugh over the topic about forum & the tone of the site last night. The problem you have is all this testosterone flying around - think I might have arrived at just the right time - help the male/female balance!!!!!!! PS - Booking new baby into Hiteq for full service and once over - is it in safe hands? Quoting £450 - hows that sound? Any other places I should enquire before I book?
