How to use an auto box?
Also, hold will stop it shifting down a gear or two when you want to overtake fast, but not rev the nuts off it, it lets the turbos push without the revs....

New Import, KPH - MPH and Delimitting, help please
Some people say converting the speedo makes the Hicas work funny, and at the wrong speeds. I have UK clocks, so I dont know for sure.

DIY Oil Change?
Hi James, thanks for calling me a DICK, very nice. Now I know you are one of those nice people who just cant stand it when they realise they said something stupid, and have to lash out. Shame Actually I was speaking generally with regard to the jacket, but you seem to take it personally. This of course is your right. I suppose if the shoe fits? Anyway, I dont want this to turn into a slagging match, chill out, and have a nice day.

DIY Oil Change?
Hey James300, lets get sensible here, if you cant deal with hot fluids you should wear one of those special jackets where your arms are tied round your back. Get Real. I am sure the guy does not need to have his hand held when dealing with hot oil. And what I said was true with regard to boiling the kettle, after all he might pour the hot water over his hand when he pours it into the mug. :rolleyes:

DIY Oil Change?
True, be careful next time you make a cup of tea then. And I assume you subscribe to the Labour Governments ideas then, that we should be protected from ourselves at all times, like when running a bath? If you cant be carefull, maybe you should not be let out alone, let alone underneath a car. On a more serious note, you do get more dirty oil out this way, which is the point of changing it.

DIY Oil Change?
Run the engine until its warm and more of the old oil will run out sooner. And oiling the new seal also helps when you come to take it off come next oil change, (as well as the reasons all ready posted) If your sump plug leaks afterwards, undo it a bit and then run some PTFE plubmers tape around the thread, not as good as a new washer but it works.

Sorry dont know what year a S13 is, but the steering on a Z is far better than the early, J K L reg 200's. They all felt like the geometry was wrong somehow.

Kerb Monster
I had a problem with Green Flag, who only use contractors. As with you they sent an idiot, no damage was done but he threatened to leave me on the road side as he had never recovered a caravan before???? I took his keys and said no recovery, no keys, he phoned the police etc etc. Long story short I loaded it, complained and got a free years recovery, worth about 6pence. Took a while, just keep on and on and on etc. Dont give up. I am sure they try and out last you. And go to the top, or as near as you can.

Gearbox troubles ?
Sounds like a plan.

Moaning.......not the missus
If you load a wheel bearing it makes more noise, if you load the other side it makes less. Mostly. As you have found out.
