Oil Pressure
that is one of the hardest to read posts I've seen in a while! try searching for oil pressure... must have been asked at least a thousand times...

pulling
if it's pulling during normal driving it suggests it's an alignment issue - unless a caliper's sticking...

boost controler question
yes - although any pressure difference would be negligible, and quickly equalised!

Honest opinion
Surely not the the plastics??

Deleted private messages can i...
the only thing you can do is PM turb0z - he maintains the site and would be the only person with access to any backups that my exists afaik. That said, I've never administrated vbulletin so don;t know if it's possible or how much of a ballache it will be...!

Who will install my guages
it's a piece of piss - if you're fairly happy doing other jobs, it's one of the easiest! Why doesn't Jeff like doing them??

MOT type/legality question...
Ignorance is no defence... Guess it would mitigate slightly, but at the end of the day it would be your responsibility.

any mods?

MOT type/legality question...
or the police, on a criminal basis, if you're involved in a fatal accident...

MOT type/legality question...
Info here: http://www.motuk.co.uk/manual_120.htm Main concern is they're not emarked - and an insurance assesor would easily spot it. As for mot, depends on the beam pattern I guess - good chance they wouldn't notice they were aftermarket lenses unless they were scrutinising them cos the light output was crap!

Folding Mirrors?
No reason why not - you'll need a switch (or wire them off your alarm) and might need to run additional cables - never had a UK spec so not sure if the additional wiring's present...

pool
that's 8 ball. I always understood that you could jump but it was a foul if it was a 'flick' upwards... but it's been years since my mis-spent youth!!

Koyo Radiator
Afraid I'm gonna have to leave it... great price, but my bank balance is looking a little too hammered!

new gauges.......?
Patience is a virtue!! Boost - tee off the balance bar Water - either weld a bung in the top water pipe, re-tap the existing sender location (stock gauge will be dead) or use an adaptor to go in flexible water pipe - demon tweeks, ebay etc Oil - either a sandwich plate (ebay ones may leak) or you can use an unused location on the block which is near the filter - it's the LHD location - I used it but mounted the sender remotely using a short piece of braided tubing as it's tight on space. Rich EDIT: I really need to stop doing other things when I;m replying!!

Failing emissions
how far out is it... not a fix but you can pull one of the hoses off the balance bar to get through... 2 secs...

getting annoyed now
prob gonna be the clutch going... any hydraulic failure will make it hard to disengage the clutch rather than reduce it's clamping pressure; be warned - my stock clutch went VERY quickly... i.e. it started slipping in fifth on M6 knutsford and by the time I got it back to chester is was gone! It literally only packed in when I hit the rivets... which isn;t great for the flyweel :cry:

Auto Transmission oil in the Power steering
Possibly the same - is on some, but she'd need to check the service history of the car... mine's supposedly a filled for life gearbox and there's at least 6 variations on spec and they're not necessarily compatible...

99 spc lights on Ebay
nope... there's a bit of black adhesive stuck to the front :) There's some surface marks on them, but nothing that won't be gently polished out :duffer:

So........how do you value your Zed
Don't know the details, but theft is different - Old Zed is entitled to sue the other person directly, regardless of what any insurance company will try and tell you...
-
So........how do you value your Zed
There's a guy on zedclub who is an insurance approved valuer, so that would be a good place to start... at the end of the day, you are entitled to be put back in a comparable situation to what you were in before so fight all the way to make sure you are! Are all modifications on your car listed? AA/ RAC legal cover can be pretty good...
