Pair of grips and twist like fook, sometimes glued on.

Mark i think you miss understood what i was meaning, Fry1 mentioned crud blocking the tiny holes up so what i ment to say in reply was if the holes are blocked and the oil is too thick (when cold) it wont get in, i nhave had this experience. The polymers are added to prevent the oil from thinning too much when it gets hot. When the oil is cold the polymers allow the oil to flow more freely as its thicker when cold which is the low W number. when the oil gets hot, the polymers react to prevent the oil from thinning too much. So therefor the higher second number is the rating the oil will only thin to when hot. So the higher the number the thicker the oil will stay when its hot, if its still too thick when its hot any blockages will stop or slow the oil flow down. Especially if changing from mineral to synthetic oils can cause deposits in the engine to get dislodged and causing all sorts of problems if the engine hasnt had a good flush first

Maybe its connected to your teeth grinding, if you been doing that coz your stressed and tense you might be tensing up in your sleep?

Not saying its thin oil causing a noisy lifter, im saying its too thick an oil causing it, as you say the holes in the lifter are very tiny so the oil isnt getting in there, why i said use a thinner oil :)

I think its the other way round bud, your oil isnt thining enough when its getting hot and possibly leaving a lifter dry, 5w50 means the viscosity values of the oil 5w is a 5 weight oil the 50 is the hot oil viscosity and means it wont thin more than a 50 weight oil. For example a 0w30 oil will give you better performance as it has less weight and thins more so its more free flowing. I could be wrong but thats my understanding of oil

same for me, no probs

Nice 1 its nice when its an easy fix, what connector, the 1 on the Air regulator?

the fastest model of the zed ever built, and the one that gets the least amount of attention, I wonder why :confused:

Unorthodox lightend pulleys will help you rev, less weight and drag for the engine to spin, also dumping the air con to loose the pump will give you less drag on the engine

I knew that was your motor when i saw those on ebay the other week :)

maybe coz turbo siezed now lol only kidding

Electrical switch cleaner would proberbly be better than WD40, WD40 could cause the connector to short, which has happened to me before.

I hav'nt got a magazine :(

Was looking at these but are expensive and where do you put the control box? To be honest i cant see the advantage of having memory gauges unless there is something im missing?

Found this site where you can design your own gauges to suit, not sure of the quality of the gauges though, maybe some of you have heard of this company? Here

Cant go either her indoors has reminded me its her nephew's second birthday :smash:

Feel sorry for the kids that are bullied at school, their 6 week repreave is over, poor sods i cant abide bullying. And the kids that are starting first year seniors, remember that feeling, feeling small and meek against the big kids

Now awaits for the dust cap LED's to be fitted :rofl: Cars a looker Vini

I think the guy tried it, uped the boost to 2bar to compensate for the lack of performance, red lined it and was last seen by nasa leaving earths orbit at warp factor 6 :rofl:

Sounds like the Air regulator to me. The air regulator raises the idle by letting more air into the intake when engine is warming up. And has a little shutter inside that closes and shuts off the air once its reached a certain tempreture, if its not shutting then your getting too much air going into the inlet, and your engine will idle too high, hence why its worse on cooler days when the air is more dense than on warmer days, engines work better in denser air. As when you get high idle when the shutter is stuck open, so you will get low uneven idle on warm up if the shutter is stuck closed. To check it is the air regulator, this is it and found at the back of the engine. Disconnect the connector and clean it up see if that makes any difference, first. If not squeeze the pipe that goes into the Idle Air Adjusting unit, (IACV side in pic) if the revs drop then too much air going in and the shutter stuck open, time to take apart and clean up.

Cheerz Vini hope too, i'll have a beer or 2 for ya while im out there :D

As above, off on me Hols to Sidari in Corfu on Monday the 10th :dance: who's been there and where's the best places to visit get drunk and eat at, and what am i likely to expect there? Been to Crete twice Malia and Agios Nicholas (sp) and loved it. Cheerz Carl

:confused:

Thats bad luck bud, thats got to be the upsetting to say the least, hope you get them back asap. I noticed you said you went through double bookings and cancellations. I wonder if its possible your luggage has been put on another plane without you if there has been a lot of confusion at the Airport? Wonder if its possible for you to find this out?

And bloody expensive Welcome to the club anyway mate, i am also in Essex. Do yourself a favor bud and subscribe be the best 20 quid you will ever spend and you will be able to access the whole site :D
