Pablito

Does anybody know the best way to get rid of stonechips in the paintwork (without a respray) - I seem to have shedloads on my bonnet and they really spoil the party - especially when you spend sooo long cleaning and polishing and they just show up even more. Any tips guys and gals?

Either way mate, Its good that you are back on the road - with a smile on your face. I'm glad that your glad.

750?

White or Olive in my humble opinion

Hi Damo, you couldn't post that link/thread could you? Cheers mate P

I would agree with the above, i had a side on impact years ago, and it definitely compounded my general back probs (rugby induced) Some spinal misalignments can be very subtle, but very damaging if left to impact on other parts of your back etc, so i would go and see a McTimoney chiropractor (one that doesn't crack and crunch your back) just so see what they are saying - if your all good then its 30 quid for a check up and good massage if not then you can do what Virus says and get the insurance to pay for a few sessions to sort it out. All legal like

Well i took off the other door card and removed the speaker - and that one had not blown so i could see the positive/negative markers. Just for those who may be interested it was the brown and black wire which was positive. New speakers in - sounds much better, i can actually turn the tunes up now..:dance::hyper::dance::hyper::dance:

Right - the two wires do have a bit of colour distinction: the one with the copper end is brown/black the one with the silver end is just a lighter brown.

well one at least - hang on my laptop is playing up wont let me post the other

Doh - here are the pics

I just removed the original speakers (90 jap tt import) to swap speakers. The plug has obviously blown or something in the past (see pic) The black housing clip of the wires had no indication as to positive/negative I removed the plastic leaving two wires (other pic) They don't really have much of a colour distinction either (both a burnt brown!) Question is how do i know which is which? I want to connect new speakers without breaking anything Anyone know how i can tell?

Nice little motors - higher insurance tho typical VW check out the link at the bottom of the advert - the guy is selling a 4x4 Mondeo 10 months MOT - new timing belt - and its got alloys:dance: to keep the rude boy inside happy.

Miura - absolutely hands down - most beautiful lambo ever

Holy **** makes my stomach turn. people hanging out on and around the track in rally just seems insane

woman at work has a skoda VTRS or something - its proper quick - nice motor

My old man's got one of these - SL600 V12 - no difference between that and the 500 really only a tiny bit off the 0-60 - it is an awful lot of car for the money - these weren't far off a 100K when new. Only problem is - typical merc "it just feels a bit flat" says my dad. even when your flying it doesn't feel that fast. but maybe that is a sign of quality? but i agree when they are tidy, a nice set of wheels make these look lush. Great interior - proper sturdy and you can still smell the leather in dads.

oh yeah... i didn't think about the horn..

I think it looks fine to be honest - good bit of eco friendly recycling there mate.

It was me - were you in a silver one? i thought i caught a glimpse of one bout 9am coming the other way but i'm a bit fuzzy at that time of the morning :wack:

Not too bad mate, just gotta replace the thermostat and the hicas arms are going to need replacing before the next mot. good diagnostic results or bad?

Whole heartedly agree, i went there today and was met with really friendly staff, great service and as much coffee as i could drink. I will definitely be going back at the end of the month when i get paid. It was definitely worth the drive, and i think i'll be going there for all my Zed needs in the future.

I reckon i'm in here as well? I live bout 10 miles south of Oxford. :rolleyes: Add me to the list.

21 now heehee :o

As above, i am quite pleased with myself. Having no experience in car maintenance, I managed to swap out the rear speaker housing brackets (having to remove all the boot trim) and put in a couple of custom built ones which mean i now have bigger speakers in the back, without losing any boot space.. :D I also swapped out the old broken aerial with a new one, so now i get proper radio reception. And.. i only had time for one, but i managed to take off the passenger door card and changed the speaker up there as well. Next on the list is the other door, and then the steering wheel, but i have to go to work now so some other time. Thanks to all you who have given me the advice i needed. I've got a trip to Zworld tomorrow to see Jeff and have a checkup.

Hi mate, you might do better by posting this in the help and advice section - i think that there is section specifically for tuning NA Zeds - i reckon you'll get a faster response. ;)
