Just had a proper look through my service history, i've never really bothered before. Appart from finding out my car has an alarm (that doesnt work :p) i also have an MOT certificate from every year since 94 (no mot needed for first 3 years??) but most suprisingly, i have the original purchace reciept stating the car origionally cost £28,000. It also had a different Reg when new, and i have a reciept for the reg number change. How much do you think this adds to the value?

fitted some HIDs a few weeks back and it was the first chance i had got to go out in it last night. i have since looked at adjusting the beam pattern had succesfully adjusted the height bringing the passenger side down a tad, but my biggest problem is the beam pattern on the drivers side. Passenger side when parked in front of my nice white garage door emits a nice white beam into a noticeable spot. Drivers side no matter how hard i fiddle with it is just a splayed pattern with no light spot? how can i overcome this or adjust it, it annoys me every time i return from a drive in the dark. The drivers side is also slightly yellow but i would expect thats…

Iv converted From na to tt but retained the old clutch and flywheel with the na gear box, I'm now fitting a tt clutch and flywheel with my NA gear box, I'm aware it will need grinding out and the starter will need shimming out. There was an Image posted by someone that specifically discribed where I needed to grind, I have a bad back and constantly repositioning it whilst it's up in the air will ruin my spine, will be doing it tomorrow so any help will be greatly appreciated.

I decided to check my ignition timing today and found it to be about 27 degrees before top dead centre.:sweatdrop: Slackened off the 3 bolts securing the crank angle sensor and rotated it clockwise until I achieved 15 btc. My only worry is that I had to use all of the adjustment to get it. The strobe I am using is a pickup type that I connect top the + and - respectively and the pickup to the looped wire at the power transistor unit. I seem to remember reading that this method may give a false reading of up to 10 degrees error.:ohmy: Could anyone advise please?

How much water should I expect from the exhaust? I have a turbo UK model and after a couple of minutes working under the bonnet(while at tick over) I can hear her gurgling quite loudly and when I rev her up she splutters and pops and almost stalls,:helpsmilie: while at the same time spits what looks like a good pint or more from each side over the garage floor. Surely this is excessive?

Hi all, Sorry i've not posted in a while! As the title suggests, I had a bit of a spin a couple of weeks ago due to a pillock pulling out on me and getting stuck halfway across the road. Luckilly the only battering was from the untouched central wall of snow as I went over it sideways. However ever since it's been blowing and as I hit the 3500rpm range it really does make a racket, sort of a rattly higher pitched noise... Anyway I took it to a friend who got it up on a lift for a quick inspection. We couldnt find anything that was loose the only thing that was bound to be making the noise was what I think is the exhaust recirculation pipes? Perhaps? …

Well nice to see this place is still ticking along nicely. I havent had my zed for many years now however the old man does still have one. He has decided he is pulling the engine to do the head gasket and has asked what else should be done ideally while its out. Things that are easier done while its out and then you can rest in the knowledge that its done. If someone could give us a list of stuff then I can just pass it onto him and he can decide what to do. Also he needs a new knock sensor as he has broken the connector on his if anyone has one. Ta Glyn
