they are designed that way so when they rotate they actively pull air over the disc and cool it down ( after a damn good thrashing obviously ) Steve

dropping tickover
have you checked the throttle position sensor? is the throttle cable sticking slightly and giving the TPS a difficult time in telling the ECU where it is hence the revs up and down like a whores drawers check the TPS is clean and the cable assembly runs smoothly Steve

Car security
invest in a snap on steering wheel , when ever you park it up take the steering wheel off it can be done in seconds , problem is though they are all a bit "Max Power" looking i like the sound of the Auto Tazer , fry the theiving t**** or buy a starving doberman and keep it in the car when your not Steve

Massive missfire
sounds like the PTU , the other option is it could be the mass air flow sensor if you have an induction kit fitted and the sensor has got wet it will cause the same problems , if the PTU goes its usually sudden and an engine stopper , the MAF will cause bad fuelling and missfires loss of power etc etc check the MAF isnt wet or contaminated its an easy check to do

Slick 50
i have used it in my Zed , no noticeable improvements , however in the old V6 Vectra it made a big difference , the car seemed smoother and more responsive, i saw an add once that showed a guy driving across Australia after he had put slick 50 in his Holden V8 and then drained his oil off .....the car ran all the way no lube oil no damage to the shells or bearings .....i think its better to have it and not need it than to have needed it and not had it

Police got me :( - guilty or not?
just a point that worked for my mate , say you where approaching the lights saw them change went to slow down but sneezed and by then you had no option but to carry on through , ever tried to stop yourself or keep your eyes open when you sneeze say you omitted to tell the porker this as you didnt think it was important , him screwing up the colour of the car makes his evidence inaccurate in court a good solicitor would chew him up and spit him out

Oil gauge - mechanical vs electric
Gio the only way to go is with the indicator being a digital not analogue device , analogue uses moving parts hence wear and tear and then hysteresis "inaccurate readings" ( "slogger" in instrumentational terms ) go digital read out and electronic sendor , mechanical gauges are only used in industry these days because they are cheap and intrinsically safe to use in hazardous areas and offer fairly reliable pressure indication however they do need re calibration at least once a year to remove zero and range errors which are attributable to the aformentioned slogger ( wear and tear in the moving parts ) Steve
