what the hell does this do
I have a Clifford alarm, and that is the key coder for making changes to the alarm (adding FOB's and stuff). what alarm if any do you have fitted? did you get any paper work/ guides with it? for the most part the fob will activate and deactivate... no real need for it..

Power steering fault
like Jimmer says... it's behind the speedo... you need to take the cover off the top, easy two screws and see if it has been de-limited...

stop panic buying petrol
this is what it says on the BBC... What is the dispute about? The trade union Unite says the strike ballot is about safety standards and terms and conditions. The union says the industry is too "fragmented" and wants a "national forum" which would hold the employers to account over conditions. It claims some workers have had their contracts repeatedly renegotiated and some have had six different pension providers in 10 years. Unite also says shorter delivery deadlines have created a "turn and burn" culture. Unite insist the dispute is not about pay. as has has been said, this doesn't compare the the armed forces.... but you can see how much of a problem they can cause..... kind of puts me back in mind of just how much money football players and actors / musicians get.... for what!!???!!

I just can't believe what the Government officials have been saying about this possible strike.... It seems to me that they are the ones causing this problem and now laughing as all the extra fuel revenue rolls in... I'd love to see the figures....

Datascan results
the same question was asked a few days ago...... this is info I have (been told, given).... (from Conzult but I assume they should be the same value) > Closed Throttle Position > TPS 0.44-0.46 > Timing set at 15 Deg > IACV-AAC/V 15% > Mas Air Flow 1.30v + P/N position switch: ON > Injector Pulse 2.2 msec > Injector Duty 1.61% average values for STANDARD injectors (at idle) may vary slightly between cars > A/F Alpha 109% this is an average value and only works if you have fully functional O2-sensors and ideally you want this value to be close to 100%. any value over or under 100% means the ECU has to compensate with less or extra fuel to get the mixture right. Extreme compensations (> +/- 15%) usually mean something is wrong with either air (airleaks) or fuel (injectors/fuel pressure) > Water Temp 80 Deg C-84 Deg C > Fuel Temp 25 Deg C-35 Deg C NB: the fuel temp values are ignored by the ECU for the most part, so not really important in respect to getting the car running better . battery voltage: should be between 13.7 and 14.3 Volt (at any rpm) If the value is off, it may indicate (future) problems with the alternator the timing should always be verified with a timing light. Also the later Zeds don't follow the 15 BTDC at idle rule. They work quite different and use a variable ignition timing system to get better emissions ratios. Because of this the timing hovers between 5-10BTDC at idle.
