Oil Help Please
Be that as it may, but SE no longer use that oil AND there are rumours that the spec has changed since it was first introduced. 60w is too thick for a (stock) engine that isn't supposed to use greater than 40w, never used it, never will. Still on original turbos, at 80,000m, running nearly 1 bar on supermarket fuel for the past 50,000 miles.

Hotmail email?
I seem to recollect that sometime soon Hotmail is being blocked from Outlook/Outlook Express, so you'll actually have to visit the site to read the mail, unless you pay something. Anyone confirm this is correct ?

bad to worse
One off mine had the same problem about 6 years back, but she's still here now. More neurotic than before but still in 1 piece and showing few signs of slowing down. So with a bit of luck she'll be OK.

Prepare car for long trip
I would seriously consider changing the water pump, unless it's obvious that it's been done recently.

Fitting Boost Controller
IMHO Optimax is marginally better than BP Ultimate. Detting = tinkle, tinkle, Boom !

music for zx advert
How about some of the songs from My Fair Lady ? Like :- 2. Why Can't The English? (cars stop rusting?) 3. Wouldn't It Be Loverly? (if it did 40mpg) 4. With A Little Bit Of Luck (it won't break down today) 5. I'm An Ordinary Man (with a big overdraft) 6. Just You Wait (it'll break down tomorrow) 7. Poor Professor Higgins (had to get his engine rebuilt) 8. The Rain In Spain (falls mainly on the passenger seat) 9. I Could Have Danced All Night (but the PTU failed) 10. Ascot Gavotte (far too difficult this one) 11. On The Street Where You Live (little gits nick your valve caps) 12. Eliza's Entrance (Hmmm, better not say anything here) 13. The Embassy Waltz 14. You Did It (and beat that Boxter again) 15. Show Me (how to repair another duff auto box) 16. Get Me To The Church On Time (without any speeding tickets) 17. Get Me To The Church On Time (Reprise) (OK, but this time be more careful) 18. A Hymn To Him (Surely it should be her?) 19. Without You (I'd be much richer) 20. I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face (and I'll never sell it)

can anyone fit a heater matrix in
You can bypass the heater matrix on the engine side. It's a little fiddly, but do-able.

key codes
Not sure, but you could be right. In theory the valet key should not open the glove box lock, presume that everything else should work though.
