have fun m8, hard work but worth it in the end. ;) nick

yep 210 does seem a little high. i fitted the same gauge and it usually gets up to about 175. mind u its moves between 140 and 175 without the stock gauge moving at all!! also when fitting i did have to run an extra earth wire from the sender body cos it wasn't reading at all. hth nick

damn, really wish i could hav made this meet. floor sanding and varnishing took twice as long as expected (as everything always does) :rolleyes: ah well next time..... nick

yep you've got it mate. bout 6 hours between coats :dance:

will try to get there too. just gotta get house flooring sanded down and varnished 1st (sat&sun). feel a bit of hurried varnishing coming on on sunday morning :) nick

yeh good day, great times by z's, jet car amazing!! only spoilt by the 1 hour queue to get out and nightmare journey home on m1 south and m25 nick

just said the same thing here ;) see u later nick

yeh, sounds good m8, where abouts do u reckon then. if i leave about 7.30 it should take bout 25-30mins to m4 turn (i hope).

not sure where's best, was planning to leave bout 7.30ish, round m25 and then up m1. take it you'll be joining from m4 area,only place i can think of is south mimms services. wot do u think think i might be leaving a bit l8 for u cos i'm not planning on running the strip this time cheers nick

was thinking of leaving bout 7.30ish, get there for bout 9 i think. not running car down strip so not too bothered about being front of q nick

oh well looks like i'm on my own (with karen), think i should change my name to billy no mates, bugger thats taken as well :shock: :shock:

anyone else travelling up from se london, surrey area (or kent etc) that fancies meeting up for a convoy nick

thanx m8, yep your right,reading all these recent auto box problem threads woke me up, cant put it off any longer :) nick

i'm finally about to fit the autobox cooler i got from the group buy a couple of months ago. does anyone know the correct length of hose i need to get. have dun a quick search but cant find it. just being lazy really, should just get down there and look. :) cheers nick

yep the chaps name is martin. got a workshop in Horsham. i can highly recommend him. just about on the way now(by train :eek: )to collect my Z. very knowledgeable, loves z's (owns one) and very reasonable prices too. only problem is he's moving to lincoln next week, but i believe he's still going to commute down. mobile no. Martin 07979375230 (there has been another no. posted for him somewhere but he rarely uses it) HTH nick

IT PASSED!!!!! mind u did have to take it for a blast to get co level down ;) thanks again paul, owe u a drink sometime bud. :duffer: nick

This one's on a celica m8 so there's only one. just changed the sensor which seems to be reading correctly wiv a volt meter. am just about to take it for a retest so fingers crossed. thanx again for all the help and advice folks. cheerz nick

i'm either a suicide bomber or a circus freak!!!! or maybe a circus freak who's a suicide bomber :p :shock: :D :D nick

not sure yet m8, probably wont be until about june/july next year now, but we're planning on staying for about 3-4 weeks. :cool: :cool: nick

On the road to Oroklini, about 1mile from the coast road.they're out there now enjoying all that bloody sun you've got :) Got an uncle somewhere in nicosia but haven't been there for years. nick

where about's in cyprus r u pambos? my parents bought a flat near larnaca.have been there 3 times this year and we're planning more of the same next year. :D cheers nick

do u think its worth trying to get an o2 sensor from a breakers(tight git eh?) i should imagine import & uk would be the same as long as wires match or should i just bite the bullet and get a new one, if i can. nick

Thanks for that paul, saved loads of wasted time trying other things,which wouldn't have worked by the sound of it. new o2 sensor for me then. ouch ££ :slap: cheers nick

ok just done this and got a reading when warm & running of 850 - 970 mv is this good or bad.(o2 sensor - lambda sensor same thing ??? god i'm thick :( ) have taken off k&n induction kit and put original assembly back. Bugger didn't think of testing sensor with k&n on to see difference - doh!! car needs a service so i think i'll do an oil change, chuck loads of injecter cleaner in fuel, go for a blast and take it for an emissions test somewhere else b4 going back to mot centre.
