Getting a copy of the valet key may not be what you need !

It is possible that the ECU connector (long blue plug) was not seated properly

Mark, If you want to post me the ECU I'll fix it for you.

Yeah, Central20 are easy to remove, some of the nasty aftermarket people epoxy resin them in !

Nah, not too difficult. Ought to be able to remove it in 10 mins. Will need to remove some of the odds'n'ends in the way though.

T'was indeed. Had a hell of a week last week, and then far too much fun over the weekend. Completely knackered all day today, too many short nights, long days combined with multiple timezones ....

Don't think having a different chip in the ECU will affect how the ConZult detects the gearbox controller. More likely that the gearbox controller is hosed - hopefully a reset will fix it.

Sounds like a corrupted chip to me, probably damaged by static when they fitted it. Easily done, but it is obvious when broken as a JWT chip will always run very smoothly. They should have sussed that immediately and fixed it.

Spent the last week or so in the US and then Denmark. Did I miss anything ? BTW have finally got 'proper' access to the bank account and have also received the window stickers and key rings (which I thought Herman had!), so if sub'd members are owed stuff, then PM me your name/address etc and I'll get stuff sorted ASAP.

A terrible shame and no more "Home Truths" now either. No one will be able to replace him ... :(

Non-standard bright yellow, high spoiler, Gulf Road, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, US Was very nice

Parked at the mall in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, US. Probably none of you lot though

The surround has been loose on mine for years - will get around to fixing it one day ...........

What a dumb thing to do, skin is there for a reason - to keep germs out (oh and to keep the sticky bits on the inside obviously).

Queuing up for petrol in Tescos. I was a couple of cars ahead of you, but not in my Z. Unfortunately, it was far too busy there to come over for a chat.

Mmm, and I'm off to Philadelphia (again) on Sunday. Somehow I think you'll have a better time !

Aren't the molecules larger or something so the pressures are more stable ? Air is about 80% nitrogen anway.

Bloody hell Harve, now that is attention to detail !

Get back in yer box, Duffer ! Hey, this could be in Fight Club soon :D

Matty, Don't be so paranoid mate, I don't think that anyone did delete your post.

Not guilty ! Just did a search and no sign of it. Sure it got posted properly and it wasn't a forum/browser glitch ? Incidentally, can't see any reason why an eBay link would be deleted.

I'm sure it is but when you have a leaking stainless exhaust, a basic arc welder and limited amount of time (eg MOT the next day) blagging extra welding kit is not always possible. Anyway, cheers to all for the advice, I'll stock up on some extra rods for next time.

Thanks mate. It was just a bit of a gap fiilling situation on an exhaust manifold - not structural. Had a bash at it with the basic rods and apart from looking a bit bird-shitty it seems to have done the trick.

As do New Zealand which is why their cars last forever too.

Pedants corner etc ! 'besting service' - lol
