I recently bought my Z and was wondering what the best way to start it was?

 

I have a key and have found that to be fairly efficient but is there any other way of getting her going?

 

Someone mentioned to me that there is a crank handle in with the toolkit and that if the car won't start you can manually crank the engine like you could with the old bi-planes and cars of old.

 

Any input much appreciated.

 

TIA MARIA

 

P.S. or should I have posted this in the Tech section???

I think the design of the keyhole is a floor in the design of a dog of a car. Why put it behind the wheel where you can't see it.

I have thought of replacing the key with a bottle opener - they are far more usefull to carry in your pocket.

How about moving the lock to the boot so you have 2 close together. This way it would be easy to serve beer from the boot with the bottle opener and you could start the car when in gear and watch it race off without any danger to yourself.

This is not suggested anywhere in the tech section for some reason.

How about making the key a US style one with access to the pentagon?

 

Timmy,

 

Most owners don't use the key as it adds mass to the car. Bob can disconnect all the wires from the ignition switch and leave them dangling.

 

When you want to drive, just twist the right ones together.

Take it you have seen some of my jobs then Dave, thats how most of them end up!!!!

Timmy you sarcastic b4stard!!! Hope you're suitably ashamed 'coz there's not enough shame going around on this forum at the moment!

If it's at SE still, keys are on the dash.

 

Perhaps they've revised the security procedure there now.

I would think if it was at SE they would have left the front door open with the car placed, ready to load on flat bed

conversastion next day to the coppers

SE - "hi we'd like to report an Insurence sca....... uuuhhm errm a stolen sound in a vehicle".

Police -"what went missing?"

SE - "Uhhm about 2 car radios and a 12 inch subwoofer"

Police - "What do you think the value of this was"

SE-" Around 50 grand "

LMAO

 

Are you saying there are, let's say, less than above board and completely legal goings on in sleepy Maldon???

Timmy, if you have to put the key in you must have one of those dodgy MANUAL TT's, automatics start if you command " open sesame"!

I thought you would have moved on to kittens by now timmy.

 

Have you heard of cliffords new improved 'kittenless entry'?

 

Or did entry and kitten in the same sentence get too much for you and your delicate keyboard ninja fingers?
