Am I the only the one know doesn't like them?

:lol: we got our dog roughly the same time as my best mate, that stage when they could run but not brake was hilarious. A snauzer and a field spaniel crashing into the walls and all over the place. We used to call him the drift dog, sliding on the laminate.

Well done mate, always a great thing to give these dogs a second chance. Don't forget he's probably faster 0-40 than your zed lol, bloody rapid animals.

What did you get yours from? And hope did you address the rail issue?

I must admit the thought of swapping out my heavy stock electric seats for something light. I love them but they do weigh as much as a planet.

Il be there, track session too please.

Seconded. I appricate the picture might be generic however whilst the rears look right the fronts look like wrong.

That or snip off a tiny bit and take it with you. To me that looks like someone's removed an electronic boost controllor prior to sale. Might be worth tracing what is there to work out what you've got. I've the controllors missing and that's all they have done you will have to change configuration to make it work properly again.

Only if his name is brown? Well James brown died in 2006 Noel, so I think you're shit out of luck! :p Welcome back jimmer.

Nice, something that is on and off my list constantly.

Well without a lot more information, this is based on what you have provided. Rough price guidelines for a 2+2 TT in fair condition are IMO; 2+2 auto £2.5-3k 2+2 manual £3-3.5k What you've got is the least desirable twin turbo platform, with hard top 2 sweaters being the top of the tree and 2 seater targas the next run down. The evidence of rust will suggest further deep rot most likely, in the sills etc. UK models are subject to this with years and years of British weather, whilst they can be deserable they are often avoided for other reasons. Historically Uk cars were desirable for insurance purposes but this is no longer an issue. Turbos being rebuilt 50k ago is kind of a moot point. Based upon the information you've given and without photos I'd expect it to be worth about £2k maybe less if your in a hurry to move it on, that rust is a real deal killer for most. This might seem harsh but I'm only trying to be realistic and fair, a year or two back you might if only got a grand...we've seen cars like this sell for as little as £500 in recent times. If you wanted a better idea you would need to give more information and some quality colour photographs.

Photographs?

Been there. Everyone else's narrow little track left in the snow making the zed grapple and track, the snow thumping as it bumps off the underside and a trail of steam as the snow melts on your exhaust. Not to mention I had to drop into neutral to stop it spinning up on anything other than a modest bend, never again lol

I'd listen to this chap, he knows a think or two about the subject. I might be so bold as to say that a proper tube will net you greater results and reliability than an off the shelf chip. Were you looking at Z1s "400hp package"?

I've had that, had to go pay the tax before they would hand the goods over.

Exactly that, in Travis Perkins you expect it but in B&Q you would not.

MJP is a great resource as he has a huge knowledge base to help and he's very reasonable. Sometimes it's worth enquiring at the main dealer, sometimes, there often not very helpful and often rather expensive but many bits are available next day. Can be a life saver for basics like oil filters etc.

Really grinds my gears when websites advertise prices excluding VAT only to sneakily slap it on later. You can't do it in a shop why the hell is is it acceptable on the internet.

Normal ones are down to a tenner and the low profile jacks are down to £35, shopping tomorrow :)

Do they lock off properly? Just I've never used "ratchet" ones before, just the usual pin type.

Lol, I think we can finish the list of crap places now Si :lol:

I was actually considering using the small bulb holders from a spare speedo cluster I've got.

So the current ones can't be modified?

Ahh at the office? Beaminster is where I'm off to specially, I'm in Congresbury in the morning. Might be a long day haha.

Is there an oem sidemarker that lights up? Or do you/ can you mod the non illuminated ones?
