Injectors/Plenum pull
Im with ALANZ on this one, The dremel method works very well. Sounds a lot scarier than it really is. Its just 'dremelling' a small piece off the plenum. If you try to put a screwdriver in the screws securing each injector, you will see how much of the plenum you need to remove. Dont be greedy, only need enough removed to get a good fit +a little bop on the end with a 'toffee' hammer + they unscrew easy.Obviously dont allow any ally dust/crap to get near anything important + vaseline + gentle twisting is your friend when putting a new injector in.

Wheel repair caution
I love stock bushes. no worries of fractures on the arm and a new set improves the drive massively. Check out some of the cracks+ broken parts threads after polybushing.

Audi 2.5 v6 diesel, any good?
Hi. Its my for my dad,but with 150bhp+ easy to chip to 180bhp i wouldn't mind one as a 'workmobile' . Anyone got any experience of one? Know owt about them? were looking at around 1999 cars. They do look good + ebay isnt full of 'just needs this that and the other' cars. Cheers all :tank:

trade insurance
Mines through staveley head, Not the absolute cheapest but no hassle to change cars with just an email + no fees, includes imports+ modified + the 'bird' with the same cover!

trade insurance
I'm pretty much the same as mid-wales-zx, BUT The important bit(for me) is to state'not trading as yet', but have personal cars... Drive whatever, sell whatever.No problems when it comes to a claim.You need seperate screen cover though...Getting the bird added was only an extra £125 too! Lovely.

Nitrous Kit on a Z
On my mates turbo bike, the nos 60 shot doesnt actually add that much bhp.But he can temporarily up the boost way + above previously because it cools the charge too+ that does it. Anyone know if this holds true with zeds??

So. Is he going to prison?
Yes the aussies have got crime too :blink: They are also unbelieveably strict on 'in city' speed limits+ not so bothered outside the cities. The point is that over there criminals can expect long harsh sentences + community punishments that are deliberatly made high profile to 'shame' offenders.Repeat offenders are treated harsher still. People are almost expected, not punished for defending themselves in their homes. Whilst near me The local plod said ' we think we know who it is as its the same method in a lot of these kinda break-ins, but hes a junkie so the courts keep letting him out.We get frustrated with it ourselves' FFS :no: So now the elderly couple next to my garage block are too afraid to walk their dog after dark, in case 'that mans about' Pissed off? me :huh: Yeh rehabilitation rocks :thumbup1:

So. Is he going to prison?
Th 'jap car driver' said its blody cold in there.lol. At 4 am, the handle was tried+ got leaped out on.Good job he was oneof the neighbours. Bikes, tools + crap is now moved to yet another garage. Heres hoping its ok. The results of this poll are not helping my 'lets not up sticks + emigrate to australia' plan.... :censored:

So. Is he going to prison?
A guy round here, lets call him ' japanese car driver' had his garage broken into a few weeks ago,this was the third garage hes had opened or lost stuff from.Bikes, plumbing gear, tools cars damaged. The usual pattern goes that some get broken into, then the following night the rest. So he rented yet another council one opposite a row houses . :taz: Last night the one next door+ two more were opened up by the fairies? . So jap car owner is seriously considering a cold night inside the garage (a bike+ car in there already) with a flask, blanket+ a baseball bat, in case he gets bored+ fancies a game in the night :whistling: Its supposed to be a low crime rate area here too :gun_bandana: The police didnt bother turning up this time, as ' we will only tell you to put a new lock on it'. So, what would you do??
