The number of gauges in that car remind me of the Apollo Command Module. I shipped a Corvette from NY to L'pool for under £1K, so £8K is ballooks.

Blimey - was it a Shemale :x::D

Hi Dewi. Sorry to hear about this. Sounds like maybe a sticking hydraulic valve. Not too sure tbh, maybe the other guys on here will know more. Hope your otherwise okay.

I managed it on the driver's side. There's a link to a TTNet article on here somewhere and if you look at what's being bypassed, you can leave the old tubes still on the plenum and just bypass them. Definately possible.

I remember finding what I though was a deserted dirt track near my home. No-one ever went down there because it was sooo bumpy and riddled with suspension damaging pot holes. Anyway, after a while my girlfriend's face suddenly lit up and she screamed "what the f**k." I looked behind me and couldn't believe it - there was a bloody car right behind me. I dived into the driver's seat and floored it out of there. Unfortunately for me he made all the same turns as me so I finished up driving through the centre of Preston in the buff. Not funny at all - well not at the time anyway!

I've seen 'DAV1D' on an old beat up Ford Granada in Blackburn and 'U2' in Preston, Must be worth a bit nowadays Here's a genuine and legal funny one:-

Did the coppers place their helmets over the 3 women's boobs? :D

I remember my bro paying £1400 to insure his Renault 5 Turbo after completely destroying his 280ZX and I thought he was crazy. I guess with inflation, that would probably be around £5K nowadays. After seeing what he did to his Z, which only had half the power, I'd recommend going on a skid pan or a big empty car park to get used to that Z's handling first!

Mine was quiet at tickover.

That's the bit which shocked me. Which planet are they on?

Maybe the persons responsible for this stupid study should be laid off - that might save some money. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2008/07/07/eafarm107.xml

Mine had a similar problem until I replaced the VVT springs.

Should be a doddle to install this. I ended up rewiring mine, because I only got the S2 plugs with bare ends!

This tip is incorrect. I used to work on petrol pumps and they don't recover any vapour. The extra tube in the ZVA nozzle is a sensing tube, which cuts delivery when the tanks gets near-full. Vapour recovery systems ARE used, but only in the forecourt's tank piping, not the pumps. I used to carry out high-accuracy measure check for Elf and I've seen poor measures from diesel pumps, when the main tanks are running dry. The air-separator inside the pump doesn't work as well with diesel as it does with petrol. Basically if you hear a loud hissing noise from the side of the pump when filling up a diesel tank, it's best to stop and go elsewhere, because some air will often get through and be metered. I had a big argument once with a Sainsbury's area manager because he wanted all the pumps set at the minimum legal limit (-150ml/20l in 1994.) I called in Trading Standards and they told me to set them at strike. I'll never forget that arrogant tw@t's face. I never filled up there again after that.

I wouldn't keep driving it until you've done what Paul said. If the filter is blocked then every extra mile could be causing more internal wear.

What's a Zed? - Oh yes sorry, I forgot - I own one:D

The way fuel prices are going, we'll all be taking our zeds to meets this way in future:-

That's still 87.5 MPH:rofl::D

HD is new. There's still improvements being made all the time. I'd advise anyone to wait a while because there's still one hell of a lot of refinements to be made and standards to be agreed. There are also many new and better video processing chips, which haven't yet found their way into products yet. Home camcorders will soon be capable of 1080p at 60 frames/sec, so I'm hanging on for that one.

Sorry to hear about this mate. I can't imagine how you must all be feeling :cry:

Hi Steve. Sounds like you'd be better off getting the car and all its bits back to Llandudno. There's nothing on there that we couldn't finish. Just a thought.

PMSL:rofl: Hmmm, now I get it:- http://www.epsomguardian.co.uk/news/topstories/display.var.2294931.0.cctv_images_released_after_croydon_rape.php http://www.croydonguardian.co.uk/news/localnews/display.var.2309752.0.cops_say_knife_crime_is_being_tackled.php http://www.epsomguardian.co.uk/news/topstories/display.var.2289967.0.cannabis_factories_shut_in_south_croydon.php

I thought the same back in 1999, but it's only gone up from 36p/l to 50p/l in 9 years.

I have a similar issue, whereby the car slightly steers under heavy acceleration. I'm convinced that one of the subframe bushes needs to be replaced and that the HICAS is fine. Are your bushes new?

My Vectra runs on LPG and it is definitely saving me money. Petrol is 1.17p per litre and LPG is 50p, so it's less than 1/2 price, whatever the consumption. It doesn't shoot up in price when a nodding donkey breaks in Texas either, like petrol does.
