Evening all. Parped a pheasant today, forgotten how poor the horn is in my car :blushing: Not really a beefy mans horn is it. From what I remember there is a single horn on mine under the nose panel. Reading through someone recommended the dual Vauxhall Vectra horns, Would I need to fit a relay for these? Any other recommendations for replacing it - I also recall someone saying the Fiat horns (same as Lambo), what model is it coz searching for fiat horns brings up 100's Cheers

Spotted today going round the bellfield roundabout near the q8 garage in Kilmarnock !

Roughly how much should I expect to pay for this? The fitting, I mean.

Recently saw a manual zed with a poorly gearbox / clutch, due to an odd grating noise in the gearbox area which had prompted the owner to find a replacement gearbox and had a garage change it and fit a new complete clutch kit at the same time. Its does not take much imagination to understand his disappointment after collecting his car and finding the noise still there and worse within a short space of time selecting gears became very difficult to select, eventually back at the garage it became stuck in 2nd gear and that was it. So it was recovered to the workshop as the other garage were unable to find the cause of the problem??? it was at least in neutral now…

Hi guys, I've been away ages taking the car dash to bits and converting...... I managed to get all my stuff done; pods converted to white led writing with red led selector on/off for the switches and my rear bumper reflector lights... Also a new addition.... Managed to light my door handles (in white led)!! :cool3: Also managed to fix my drivers door lock and get it working on the central locking system again by adjusting the three screws... Only thing is (here comes the question...) The drivers lock is activating the central locking but not locking the drivers door...???? I can still pull the handle and open the door. :censored: …

I always wanted to design/make a Z clock or a watch. But I have too many things to do lately . Maybe I'll do the watches later in the near future. Just right click and save this 724x1024px picture and print your own clock face, Buy a cheap clock disassemble it print the dial on a mat or gloss paper at your desired diameter and install it. set the arms at 00:00:00 and you can install it . You could paint the arms orange,use a clock with a brushed SS or aluminum rim to resemble the gauge rings or even install a back-light to it . I moved the tachometer numbers to line up with the clock numbers. 5 with the 12 , 6 with the 1, 8 with the 3 etc you g…

Look at the state of this, might be a cheap buy for someone though if they fancied bringing it back to life! Funny looking accident damage... looks like someone tried to get into it with a crowbar! http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2326015.htm Cheap for an S3/4 Manual TT though!

How do I get hot air through the facia and door vents ?

After having a conzult check performed on my car, i got the result of O2 sensors, and MAF working correctly. Having not being convinced, i tested the 02 sensors by disconnecting them and runnning the car to see if it made any difference, but sadly it didnt in terms of fuel usage. now would this suggest they're actually faulty? and i need replace them, the only thing left is 02 sensors or MAF to replace as everything else has been done. fuel pump and filter fuel damper and pressure regulator fuel hoses fuel tank spark plugs. injectors.

the inside of my headlights are pretty mucky . i dont want the hassle of removing them . anybody had a go at cleaning the insides in situ . if so a little advice would be nice

I've been picking Paul(securicar)'s brains with regards to amp/sub combinations to complete my I.C.E. install via PM. He has answered all my questions both quickly and patiently(:tongue_smilie:) and came up with a great combo at a price point I was looking for. He ordered them for me at a very competitive price and they were delivered in really good time. If they sound as good as they look, which i'm sure they will i'll finally have the sound system i've always wanted. Just down to me to finish the custom sub enclosures and get it all finished now. Another example of why anyone who's not subbed should really think about doing so imo. Really appreciate your time and …

I went out for a spin today and it cost a small fortune lol!!!!! i ended up using £45 so went out and worked it out to be 14mpg going steady so what do you get average?

Does anyone have the part number written down somewhere? Can't find them on google. I know I can buy them from the Z centre etc but I want to see how cheap I can get them at dealer first.

Brake fluid... Bit of a mystery topic! To help dispel some myths and for some good solid general info on the mysterious world of brake fluids I decided to contact Millers Oils up in West Yorkshire. Their Technical Director, Martyn Mann was on hand to give us some useful info… below is Martyn's article on brake fluids. There is a degree of confusion regarding the specification of brake fluid and this article sets out to clarify the situation. The Department of Transportation (DOT) classifies brake fluids to defined specifications. These specifications relate to their boiling points and chemical composition, both of which are important. All currently av…

I'm aware of at least 2 other guys on here, but I've seen a few more floating around, rare as they are. How many do we actually have here in Donny and it's surrounding areas?
