Got an ABS fault code, which turned out to be front right wheel sensor. These are supposed to just undo the retaining bolt and slide the probe out of the hub, about 25mm of probe I think? But I guess 10 years of crud build up and heat cycle means I can't get it out, and the electrical connector part has broken now as well meaning nothing to pull it out with by hand really. The probe is sticking out about 5mm, but if I clamp with pliers or grips too much that will eventually wear down to nothing as its plastic. I had thought about a self tapper, but not sure I can get it started without pushing the probe further in if it starts moving, and possibly giving myself more ball ache having to remove the whole hub assembly and take it apart? I could maybe heat the self tapper up and melt it into place with a couple of turns and cool it off before pulling? Anyone got any tips or experience having to do this before?

Ah, must have just been me that applied separately then... :lol:

Last time, I think we all applied individually, but mentioned the club on the application? Can probably all do the same thing again, and I will send a covering email to let her know that.

Went to the reps meet today, saw the layout, got the lowdown on whats going on. The space allocated for us is ok, fairly central to the action, no problem here. They seem to be trying harder to keep people entertained, and utilising a lot of the indoor space for show'n'shine and other special activities. Guessing it might still be a lonely place to be on the club stand at the moment though :-/ Also, Sunday clashes with another local event now.

I have been emailed about this event again, on 3rd September this year. Apart from being a bit chilly last year, I enjoyed this local show. It clashes with JAE, although that doesn't seem to have much interest again this year.... Register your interest here and I will send off requesting for 10-15 cars I think.

nice one. changing colour, or staying the same and just getting a refresh?

might be able to make this too

i will go through the thread later and add to the list which i started on the first post hoping people would quote/add themselves :lol:

i might not be able to get a picture in time for the closing date, but in a similar position to Stephen, would replace the silicone ones that are already installed. also, don't have a sob story, but could start a similar thread with the ones i replace once swapped, which are perfectly fine. a bit of charity regurgitation :lol: aka hand me downs

this is on the same day as the classic meet at heritage motor museum in gaydon that we have also got booked on for. shame for the clash, but good to have a few options depending on where you are in the country. its good that people are taking to time to organise space for their club :thumbup:

sad news :(

Exactly! Glad to see you got through it, and best of luck with the recovery. Looking forward to bumping into you again this year!

best wishes!

best wishes

i think we will have a good selection to review at Coventry this year. will start asking for people to register their interest in the NEC show so we can vote the shortlist as a club

They only look ok if pointing the right way, IMO, like the first pic of Ali's, otherwise, as Andrew says, the wheel police will have to make an arrest, as the wrong way looks horrid.

haha, we've got one of those zeds in the family, a 2 door red one. k reg on about 70k miles, but unfortunately looks like 700k miles. lol

it only takes 2 or more members to attend to start an organised meet between you ;-)

he turned up at the pub meet we had at the end of the year down near andrewg, which you were at ali ;-)

or use a household steam cleaner instead of a commercial one, which may take a bit longer, but you probably only need it to remove the stuff that TFR or similar (M/cycle brake/chain cleaner is good) doesn't get off first?

:lol:

Any colour, condition not too important as long as it is all intact in 1 piece Edit: nothing happened to mine, just looking at a project

sorry to hear that Ash, hard to know what to say when you have good and bad in the same post.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, which it should be if you will be awake.
