cheers buddy. something to do at weekend

paragraph 4 of the above link says it all...

I'd think about this very carefully. It will cost you a lot of money to get a solicitor to take on the case, thousands i guess. You will have to pay their costs if your case fails. You will also be liable for the other parties costs, if it fails. Keep in mind that whatever legal advise you get your local counsil will get better. I believe this has been successfully pursued in the past but the onus will be on you to prove it. Unless you have a lot of cash to burn, I wouldnt take it on.

ah, thanks for that. The ash tray, is it easy to get out? I've not had a chance to look

Hi... I know its been covered loads before and I have used the search engine. Just need to check a few things 1st. 1) Am I right in thinking that the t-piece goes into the vaccum hose on the drivers side of the balancing bar? There appears to be 2 hoses here. Which one goes to the black box for original boost gauge, is it the top or bottom one? 2) Wheres the best place to wire the electric feed to the gauge? My mate has said to wire it into the stereo. Is there a better place? Thanks

I think so mate. Take it urs isn't?

That sounds awesome to me mate

Cheers for the advise. Can you see if you have tht oil cooler?

Mine is an auto, does that make a difference? Im not planning massive mods, Im happy with how quick it goes for the time being. Its standard boost at the mo. Uprated rad worth it if u turn the boost up I take it?

NOTHING! Yep the old girl went straight thru! I was really chuffed. It had a coupla advisories, mostly minor. 1) Front tyres wearing inner edges (tracking - not a prob) 2) Needs some rear pads soon (easy enuf) 3) High level stop lamp not working 4) Centre exhaust blow 5) Radiator leaking (biggest problem!) Shes not rotted away anywhere either. Not bad for a K plate UK car! As for the radiator... Its not dropping a lot but Im gonna have to replace it. Looking at it its prob the original rad so its not done bad in fairness. Can anyone advise me, is it worth getting a original spec rad or an uprated one? And the exhaust I think I will replace too. I didnt know what make it was but after getting under the car on the ramps its a powerflow. And the emissions, the part I wasn't looking forward too, no probs! RESULTS CO: 0.00% !!! HC: 2ppm vol 1.019 I'm told thats pretty good! Any advise on the rad be good. Cheers guys

haha brilliant m8. glad im not the only 1

Its the first clear sky we've had for ages and the sun is out... where I live anyways. So I got the zed out, took off the targa top for the first time in ownership and went for a spin. Now I know why I bought it. It looks awesome (even tho mines just about standard). It sounds fantastic. And by god does it feel fast... maybe the fact that I drive a 1.4 astra as a daily runabout helps this! Roll on the summer!! Sorry if this is a pointless post Im just happy my car seems to be running so well! Have a good day all!

Hi all. I've ordered myself a boost gauge, I've done some research and I think I can get it wired up ok. I want to mount it in the middle of the dash above the central vents. Is it ok to drill above these? Ta

Its more or less steady most of the time. Like Petes, best way I can describe it is as an occasional wobble.

So I'm best off just keeping the standard setup for the time being, saving a bit more cash and doing it properly?

I'm looking at getting some alloys for my zed. At the mo it has Uk spec standard alloys, staggered on the back. In people opinions is it best to keep the staggered set up? Iv seen a nice set of 18s but they are 8 inchs front and back. Does anyone run this type of set up? Any adverse handling effects? ta

Ok well I've only had my zed for a few months and iv never seen it posted and I thought it was well funny!

So lately my wife has been working alot of evening shifts, and for the past couple months has been carpooling with a male co-worker. At first I didn't mind, I would rather have someone with her in case she has car trouble or something like that, but it seems that they have become a little bit more than friends. You know the scenario, the phone calls that hangup, she starts wearing nice clothes to work, talking about him all the time, etc. I don't know what to think. If I'm out in the garage when she gets home (usually after midnight) he just drops her off and leaves, but if the lights are off in the garage and I'm in the house (they think I'm sleeping) they sit out in the car for like twenty minutes. I asked her once what they were doing, she said "just talking"....whatever. So last night I decide that I'm going to see what really goes on out there. I leave the garage door open, but turn out all the lights. About the time she usually gets home, I go out and hide in the garage and wait. In a few minutes, his car pulls into my driveway, and I'm hiding behind my Raptor. When his headlights shine through the garage and onto my bike, I see something that I just can't believe. The rear sprocket is already worn and hooked but the chain looks OK. Do you think I should change just the sprocket or the chain and sprocket?

Ok, thanks, about right then. Thanks Markzx... sound advise ;-)

If your aim is to build muscle then yes you are right, you need to do sets of around 8 reps at a heavy weight. That multigym only offers upto 200lbs of resistance which is about 90kgs. Once you get into it that might not be enough for you. Best of just joining a proper gym where you can do squats, bench press, etc and take advantage of the free weights.

I dont drive my zed much. Went out and started it up half hr ago. When its warm what should it idle at? When the temp gauge got to the middle mine sits at bout 750rpm, sometimes dropping just a fraction below that. Thats in neutral. If I put it in park and sit with the foot brake on it goes up to just below 1000rpm. Is this normal? Cheers

Just read top post again. I see it is a Uk car. Any history with it, recent cambelt etc?

Is it a standard car? UK or jap and what sort of mileage? My initial thoughts are still too stay away. IF it was a boost hose then it was only a minor prob. But it could be something else. Why has he put a new radiator in? Some warrantys mean nothing, make sure it covers all parts and labour.

Did the car drive ok to start with? I'm no expert as I've not had mine long but I'm guessing the whoosh noise could have been a boost hose popping off. If the hose came off its just a case of finding it and connecting it back on. One of mine came off. Other than that maybe an actuator stuck. I dont think low petrol would stop the car boosting. Shouldnt really let the petrol tank get empty as it sucks a loada crap into the system. Did you even have the air con on to make the belt squeal? Is this a private sale or is the guy a trader? Id be very wary either way

i watched a trailer for this. It looked ace!!! Gutted, the first 2 were great. Least you got your zed back on the road dude.
