Nice one Duffster! Give yourself a little pat on the back.

Air Regulator: The purpose of the air regulator is to raise the idle during engine warm-up by letting additional air to enter the intake. The symptoms of the air regulator going bad is either low unstable idle during warm up or constantly high idle. The regulator consists of a bimetal-activated shutter that closes after ~5 min of engine operation and cuts off the airflow. Note: It's normal that the shutter is only partially open at room temperature. Check the resistance between the pins in the connector. It should be ~75 Ohm. If not good then replace the whole regulator. Another problem could be that the regulator is clogged, causing the shutter to stick. The air regulator is located on the rear of the plenum and is attached to it with 2 screws. There are 4 screws keeping the housing together. Remove them and clean the regulator internals

I know its attached to the rear of the plenum but has anyone got a pic of it in place? Or will it be obvious when I actually look at my engine? Cheers.

The stickers gotta do Duff....it has no place on a Z window.

Thats the sprit Shrimpy - you did sound like you were ready to slit your wrists when I spoke to you earlier! (Q 6 Million Dollar Man music........we can rebuild her........Duffer has the technolgy......better, faster, stronger)

You'll be unlucky if it is an actual faulty injector, it is bound to be the wiring to it. Mine were so bad I replaced the lot (connectors). They were broken, the wiring green and corroded. I put my money on the injector connector so get it off, clean it up as much as poss and try again! Good luck.

Ah shit Pete!!! Gutted for ya. Anything I can do to help or if you need a hand with anything - just give me a shout dude. You want me to send money back for subs and stuff? Glad you are ok though mate.

http://www.twinturbo.net/ttnetfaq/FAQpages/hesitate2.html http://www.zhome.com/ZCMnL/PICS/hesitation/hesitation.html try those dude. If they come up page cannot be displayed (like it did for me just then) then hit "refresh".

Or Tim I'm sure could do them.

Chris@getgreddy got my stickers for me and they are excellent quality. Not sure how they would stand up to the heat though?

About 7ish I guess, you were following a blue Audi S4 convertable, some twat kept looking back (me) and as we turned left you booted it past, sounded very nice mate. Anyone on here?

Notice anyone waving around like they were trying to swat a wasp yesterday at Hearne Bay? Thought for a sec you were going to pull into the car park where I was standing, as you drove past!

I was on the M4 today. Could well have been me. I saw a red Z with a primer coloured h/l panel.

LMFAO!!!! :rofl:

LMFAO if only I had that much hair!! SMW1 does uncannily look like Mr Groves!!!! Don't you think? ............anyone?

LOL Duffer!!! As I said its a touchy subject for me! And one thing I hate is any secret stuff like I know something you don't, so will explain all later - just haven't got time at work.

And those details I went into detail with you about, when did I once say the bodyshop "buggered up my panels"???? So why have you said that? I am sure they didn't so am at a loss as to how you know they did?

But not aware of the facts, so to say something like "that buggered up his panels you mean Iain" just winds me up. I don't even know the facts myself. No soapbox mate, just asking you to think before you type something.

Ryan you knob, you know that do you? If not then I would suggest you keep your comments to yourself. This is a touchy subject for me as its already left me way out of pocket and I've kept it off the forum SO FAR. Iain, this is the same people but don't see the relevance?

Really sorry to hear this mate :( And I'm surprised. Not with the wait cos the amount of time mine took was just ridiculous. But the actual paint job was absolutely faultless. I don't know these people personally btw, just used them a few times before and have been excellent each time. Poor show this time and don't blame you for never using them again. Sorry again mate.

Happy, HAPPY birthday x

This is easy and won't take long at all! I know me and Stu did his fronts in a couple of hours, prob less actually. Can't see the rears being any harder, easier if anything I would've thought. Let me just look on the map to see how far Warwick is........

Being painted by Carl?

Sorry - meant on standard bumper.

Thanks very much Mr Groves! Suppose a part number is too much for anyone to know? (for standard bumper)
