Blueyonder 50% speed incread for free. Wooh Whoo
http://www.blueyonder.co.uk Its telewest. If you can get cable TV you can get blueyonder broadband. TBH, I have never really had any trouble with them. About 3 years ago when we first got it it kept going down for periods, but I can say its been nearly flawless for 2 years. Only Email server is slow every now and then. No biggie

Mr Groves on Orange Wednesday?
Fecking Orange Wednesday. I went last week and then found out in an advert that I could get 2 tickets for the price of 1 being an Orange customer. Bit fecking late telling me when I am sat down after paying :mad: I watched Starsky and Crutch too. I thought it was rather poor. :(

Still missing......Grrrrr
I remember just before I took my car off the road, it was doing a strange misfire, but usually after I floored it. After coming down from 6000rpm of something, when I applied the accelerator lightly, it sounded like the car was on constant misfire all the time. It would go when I applied more accleration or let off. There was a certain position (Depending on the gear and how fast I was driving) with the accelerator where it would cause this misfire. Is yours like this? I never found out what it was, but I was guessing heat soak into the wireing loom or bad connections. After I took the loom off I did notice how bad the connections where. Hence new loom :D Stuart

boost jets
Boost jets are only 1mm mig welding tips. Machine Mart will have them or any good tool sellers.

Houghton Insurance do it again.
Only time will tell. I may just turn up to a meeting in it. But to answer your question, I dont know :(

Still missing......Grrrrr
The fact you think it made the car worse points the problem to the wireing. (Pushing the boat out there ;)) Or it could be dirty sensors. Have you cleaned the water sensors? Not the connectors but the sensors them selves? Not really likely but worth a shot. Is the car mis-fireing, or would you call it a splutter/stutter? Can you check the timing?
-
Houghton Insurance do it again.
Yeah its not insured to be driven, that insurance is if the turbos in the garage cause an accident. ;) No that is the price for the car with the spec it will be on the road. :D Its only £100 more than my daily driver Corsa 1.2 with 6 years NCB
-
Houghton Insurance do it again.
Nope its with Tesco. But the insurance on both cars are due on the same day. I may phone and ask for my Corsa too.

Zed 1 Supra Nil
Do it. Least it will be legal there ;) You will probably get more traction from a dirt track though :D

Speculation - how much is my zed worth
Its worth 25p but I will give you 30p for it ;) How much is it worth and how much you can sell it for are 2 different things. I wouldnt accept anything less than £5,500 for it, but there are loads of bad Zs for sale for about half that, so people wont really come to look at yours. Catch 22. Bad Zs go cheap because they are bad, but then the good Zs have to have the price lowerd to get people to look at them. The bad Zs then have their price lowered again because buyers are likely to buy the good Z because its only a little more money. One its lowered the good Zs dont get a look in, and prices drop again :(

Traction Control Settings
It depends on the tyres too, not just the wheels size. Work it out yourself. wheel size in mm, plus the height in tyre wall in mm, divide by 2 times pi Hmmmmmmm Piiiiiiiii

Castrol 10-60
I had Mobile 0-40 and that was like water. The RS 10-60 is a good oil. Its not "thick" but its not thin. The magical thing about it is it viscosity when its at high temperatures.

Speculation - how much is my zed worth
Dangerous speculation mate. :( Why you selling? Dont say you are cos virtually all the people who ask how much is it worth and say they are not selling, put their car up for sale a few weeks later.

Snaking back-end
The Japanese suspention is softer than UK suspention, and I dont think it is that hard. Do have have after market suspention setup? Japanese hard tyres are terrible and probably the main cause of the poor traction in the wet as well as dry. I have never had trouble with the Z in the wet. I just dont push it when it is wet. It still handles a lot better than my daily does in the dry, but the difference between wet and dry traction is huge, I think some people tend to forget that. Stuart

Camera Phone
Its not hard to beat the Nokia camera quality. I have seen toliet roll cameras better quality than Nokia phone cameras

popups, WTF?
I told my sister to put it on her computer and it found 15,000 cookies/spyware. :eek: but she does spend time on the online casinos. What I do like about it, it doesnt delete the none spy cookies. I hate it when a spy search program deletes spyware but also deletes the cookies I use and have to log into everything again.

Anyone tried autogas conversion?
the gas is cheaper but will cause a 10% drop in performance and in the MPG. It is also debateable whether they are better for the environment. Gas is cheaper now but I feel after the 2005 rule of fixed tax on gas ends the price will go up.

Poor running
If the PTU was shot it wouldnt run at all. If the PTU was not getting a good connection it would cause a weak spark or cause it not to spark at all.
