Right Nelson Mr Oil Expert.
Bit of a con then ! :rolleyes: Oh well; it was an idea ! Cheers !

Titanium Key
Cheers Ajay, XTT :) Hmm... contradictory advice from different main dealers then; wot a surprise :) ;) I bought another black plastic version of the key a year or two back and I don't think it cost more then £20 so they must be offering you something special for £45. Does seem strange that they're less than a third what they used to be though :confused: Would you mind re-posting when it arrives Ajay ? If it's as advertised I'd love a couple myself ! Cheers ! konrad

Anybody tried one of those 'Beartrap' things that claps onto your oil filter then ? $20 + carriage seems good value, if it actually works !

Dilema...What would you do...? (Bad langauge alert!)
Scum ! :mad: Please excuse my ignorance, but what's a Pikey ? :confused: Wouldn't help the car much there but I always keep a disposable camera handy in the car (mainly to take photos of the car/road in case I'm involved in an RTA - means they can't lie about where their car was to the insurance co. !). At least if you've got photos of the scum you can keep a watch out for them, even if the Feds won't accept them as evidence ! Really heavy/knobbly walking stick's always too in those situations ! ;)

A.b.d.
The govt couldn't care less about green issues - it's just their excuse to extort even more money from us :mad: Considering that WELL over 2/3 of the cost of every tank of fuel goes to Whitehall the best way to show the strength of the motorist would be for everyone to leave the car at home for a day. The loss in revenue would cost them countless £millions, hurting them where it counts and it would be totally legal - in fact we'd be doing exactly as they're always spouting that we should do ! :cool: Just a thought !

RPS street clutch and JWT chip
Hi Mike Can't help you with the chip but try Smithy at Cybercraft for clutches. Recently got an ACT fast road clutch for about £350. Just look further down the page for the Cybercraft forum. Also try Jonathon at GPS - 01942671239 konrad :cool:

Hyundais are cool
Whoa - he's managed to turn a Hyundai into an Impreza ! :D :D

Running Costs
Had mine for five years and the novelty hasn't worn off yet ! :D :D Condition is important but even if you're not too bothered about the rest of the history you HAVE to ensure it's at least had regular oil & filter changes. These aren't cars that you can skimp on servicing with, nor are they cars you can just budget for initial cost, fuel, insurance etc - they can cost a lot to maintain ! If you do plan to get your father to work on it then do him a favour and get the workshop manual on CD rom for a tenner from the Zcentre ! ;) Good luck - konrad !

ride height
Leave it a day or two to settle before you worry too much ! Changed my Lancia on Koni shocks and hardened springs many many years ago and it took a couple of days to settle down to the correct ride height - the gap under the arches make it look like a Fiat Panda for a while ! :D

Oil on drive!!
I've used 'Gunk Driveway' before and that did quite a good job ! Didn't totally remove the stain but then it was a really old/soaked in oil patch. Cost about a fiver from Motor World. :cool:

Headlight film
Best way to make our tail lights better would be an option without the reflectors, which look like they were stuck on as an afterthought ! 99 spec tail lights (with the clear indicators) look a bit more modern without looking like a ricer ! ;)

Audi TT
I stand corrected :o I was just going on what Pulling Power said about the 240 being the biggest selling sports of all time when they did that special on Z's (and I only remember that episode so well 'cause my Z32 was in it; hence I taped it)

Don't you just love customs and excise ? :mad: Probably still cheaper than getting the kit over here though ? Cheers Dave ! konrad
