Hi guys, Just got Z back from mechanic again, he changed the oil,fuel filter,battery etc and checked the timing on the CAS, he reported that it is 15. BTC which, I gather, is what it should be. The problem is the car is still slower than usual, and is quite slow to rev up (especially up top from about 4500 up) the boost guage (crap standard one) is reading fine up to about 10psi, so I dont think that it's safety boost. How do I check the timing belt (which was replaced recently) to ensure that it's set properly? does anyone have an idea as to what else it could be? As always, thanks for all your help, Brian

Finally got the upper inlet manifold off today.. Yaaaaay! Much swearing and cursing, and slicing of fingers trying to get down to all the little rubber hoses mind you! Why, oh why, do car manufacturers insist on using those bl00dy spring clips as hose clips? Jubilee clips or petrol clamp ones would have been much.. much.. MUCH easier to get off! Shame I can't really see any split hoses Guess I'm just gonna have to replace them all and hope for the best.. Oh and retrieve the 10mm spanner & throttle body bolt that disappeared down the left side of the engine.... Now to order all the hose I need.. anyone know what dia the small coolant hoses are? …

im back on msn but have no idea how it works

One for the hardware anoraks The onboard sound on my Gigabyte board packed up. I have disabled it with the jumper and installed a new soundcard which works fine. Now whenever i start a game which uses my voodoo card the computer just freezes and has to be turned off. If I remove the soundcard the games run ok. I have tried reloading the drivers and the games but no joy I have also tried the soundcard in 3 different pci slots and it makes no differance. also windows reports no conflicts on either device.

People here in America ofter regard Europeans as "rude" and unpleasant, I beg to differ, I was reading posts here and I see just the opposite, people are nicer, I am a menber of an americam forum and people there sometimes are sarcastic and ther's no real "brotherhood" between us Z lovers, here in this forum I saw one person willing to pay for a part for someone in the forum who's not quite ready for the cost yet and offered to get paid back after a year, my hats off to you!!

Hi all, Oh boy, winter has cometh to the midlands and my zed doesn't like it one bit (neither do I for that matter ...) Started the car early this morning after a rather cold night (lots of frozen dew everywhere). Was greeted by the familiar smell of petrol ... not too worried ... and left it to warm up a little before making my way. As I was leaving the drive there was a massive CRACKing noise coming from above me and in true Zed ownership stylee I nearly sh*t myself and saw thousands of pounds flying from my already meagre wallet. Fortunately it was nothing as horrific as what my imagination was confronting me with. Aparently overnight the targa's froze to th…

oh dear - the car was on its way to the garage - and the engine cut out about 50yards after leavin the house. i fiddled with some of the petrol cables and stuff and it started briefly but er, my z is now permanently residing on my street. bugger.

dont you just love the winter cold and the return of the waft of petrol that only a z can give.........as much as you can tighten every single jubilee clip under the bonnet you know it wont make the slightest diffrence muhahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaha

Im going to see England v Sweden today at Old Trafford, and my seats are right on the halfway line 4 rows up, so there is a good chance that you will be able to see me at some time in the match. Hehehe Keep your eyes open. The fact that none of you have ever seen me before should make it an interesting challenge. Stuart
