U got the same wheels as me (the grey ones)

Gear change
Mine does this, push down on your gearstick and see if u can push it down, if so the rubber mount is probably shot, im still waiting on mine to be sent to me, apparantly a cheap and easy fix.

MOT today
It passed today, he had to wire up a rear foglight into one of the reverse lights, both lights came on before via the foglight switch but was not bright enough, all is good now though, he commented on how clean it was underneath too.

petrol leak
Got the car back, my mechanic diddnt have to completely take the plenum off as it was just an o rong beneath the injector, he had to slide the plennum over a bit to get at just one screw, he only charged me £40, well happy.

Sorry, someone said it before me.

Hi, im new!
How do you let it warm up? I dont think it is best to start it up and let it warm up at idle as this will cause more wear to the engine, what I do is drive it to about 2500rpm untill engine is at full working temp then drive it how u want, im sure others would agree.

petrol leak
Well i have found the leak, its beneath the engine cover middle injector on the right, the aa will be taking it to the garage of my choice and will be paying for the work to be done, I think the plennum has to come off but i hope not.

Is it an easy fix from under the car?

petrol leak
Since comming back from an mot today I could smell a strong smell of petrol, looked under the car and found that it was dripping petrol from just behind the sump, cant notice anything from under the bonnet, they must of pulled something off by accident, it stops dripping when engine is off but drips when on, any ideas? I will get him to fix it when it goes back in on thursday.

MOT today
Ok, it failed, not on a lot mind, retest is thursday. He had to fail the foglights because he couldnt find the switch and the headlamps were to far to the right, he will pass it on thursday. Bit pissed off though because when I got it back I could smell a strong smell of petrol, looked underneath and petrol was dripping from the box thingy next to the sump, maybe they caught the bottom of the car with something and took a pipe off. I will start a thread in help and advice section.

MOT today

MOT today
Having my MOT done today, it should fly through I hope but dont know about the emmissions as it has no cats and is overfuelling slightly I think, fingers crossed though.

Revs still a bit jumpy?
Ive cleaned the throttle boddies, is there a thread somewhere on how to clean the idle air valve? Would it be worth me having a custom map done?

Revs still a bit jumpy?
My car has just been to zedworld and is running perfect, Jeff had some work to do on it, its been on the conzult and everything is spot on but when its cold the revs can still be a bit eratic and when i press the accelerator a touch the revs will drop a bit then pick up again and when i come to a junction and press in the clutch the revs will increase to about 2000rpm and then settle again, my car has had a new wiring loom, also when its cold at about 2000rpm i get a serge of power, could that just be the tubs kicking in? If im going down a hill in 3rd with my foot off the gas, i can hear a very slight popping noise from the exhaust, could this just be the jwt 555 chip i have installed? Or is this all normal for a moddified z?
