whaddya reckon to using s/s then mate? be ok?

I just ordered some stainless - been told theyre not high tensile. Spoke to momo and they told me they use normal steel socket button screws - not hi-tensile.

found out meself They're M5 next question Do they need to be hi-tensile?

Anyone know what the steering wheel boss screw thread sizes are? Are they M3 M6 ??? I need some new screws and from Demon Tweaks theyre gonna cost me about £10 for 6 screws. Screwfix Direct sell some (albeit not chrome heads) for £2.50 Just not sure of the sizes needed. Thanks

well it took about 7 miles to reach half temp. If you dial in 19-21 Deg on the A/C heater you get a mildly warm airflow coming through the centre console - and it is mild. Any higher temp you put in switches it to blowing cold on the screen.

Gee, Thanks Matthew :smash:

mate, I dont do anything half-assed on these cars ;)

cheers bud, could that cause the heat in the cabin to not be as warm even when engine temp is reading half way or does that sound like a poss blocked core in the matrix?

On the wifes TT zed, it takes ages to warm up. When eventually warm heater doesnt really blow hot. After stopping I can put my hands on the radiator and its warm but not hot. Does this sound like stat is stuck open?

Anyone got one of these? Thinking of going on it this year. . . ? Think again - Theyve gone into receivership!!!! :headvswal :headvswal Been told unless your credit card supports it then its pretty pointless trying to get your money back Mines a year old so Ive no chance!!! FFS - Gutted!!!!

sound. I think one of the ex-traders used that too.

so are we agreed again on Magnatec 10/40 and oil & filter changes every 3K Miles

ok Si, nice one so for TT's its best to go for fully synthetic then. What are we recommending then - 10/40 Fully Synthetic.

How is fully synth better for turbos matey?

I used fully synthetic in my UK TT @ 120K Miles. New shortie TT is at 70K @ Im about to stick semi-syn magnatec 10/40 in it. Never had a problem with using that in my old zed and its what nissan recommend.

All the best Karl - be safe.

15 out tomorrow night I think :)

You say quality of oils is a factor. Without getting into the whole "which oil is best" I have always used top quality oils but think the fully synthetic may have contributed to my problems. It would be interesting to see what Zed repair specialist use when they do oil changes as I belive Nissan do a regular oil change with semi-synthetic.

I bought a set like that mate. I ended up returning em and buying another set. not saying thats what you need to do though They *may* reset when you apply power.

I had a small alloy pulley on my lwb. I still have it - I never noticed any probs with car so would it be worth fitting it to my shortie or would you recommend binning it and buying an unorhodox so I know its a good un. Thing is it could be an unorthodox and I dont wanna chuck away £150. Is there any way of telling?

decatted and smoked. TBH it smoked about 6 months after from what I recall but I was running 14.5psi with lots of hard driving and the engine was on original tubs at 120K miles. + I never let tubs cool down properly :x: + I ran it on fully synthetic 0/50 oil (I believe this is very thin) + I had no silencers in car whatsover - straight through. From what I recall when I had the middle boxes removed it started shortly after that. again it oculd all be coincidence - I wanna decatt my new shortie but am worried about killing seals.

shouldn't it be "we're not all perfect" - not "were all not perfect" :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Sorry bud, couldn't resist

lol, that aint a bad idea :)

Gonna get me some new plates made up 3/4 for the front. On a plate that size would you recommend a thin border round it or would that make the text smaller. Secondly - slogans - good or bad idea. on my last one I just had my name imprinted on the bottom at the middle. Dont know if this makes me sound a c*ck though :wack: :smash: :xxx: If a good idea - anyone got any ideas I know it went round years ago this - like "3 Litre Scooby Eater" etc

I would say no :) Also it rivals an R1 acceleration??!!?? Im sure they do 0-60 in 2 secs :xxx:
