umm i did!! well nice to be ain the 98% of nomally people then! :lol:

Sorry to hear this news jeff. Its amazing how attached we get to our dogs. We have 4 in our family and each one is different and unique.

Well big thank you guys my timing is now at 15 btdc and is running a lot better now thanks! Well the timing be off by 1 degree cause my poor starting in the morning?

right i see i wasnt sure i could do it with the engine running as knowing my luck something would move and ill end up with bent valves! :lol:

all this done with the engine off yes?

Hi guys and girls i have been searching on here in regards to setting up my timinig but cant find an answer for my question. I checked my timing today and found it to be at 13/14 tdc however when i tried to adjust it the cas unit does not seem to turn either way? Also can you adjust the cas/timing with the engine running? i was turning off and trying to adjust it to be on the safe side. Im using a timinig light and jeffs write up but its not clear if you adjust the timing with the engine running or not. if it is meant to be running will this be why the cas unit does not move with the engine off? Thanks

send who ever your making redundant a text to let them know :thumbup: Job done!

Im still pretty new to detailing but have been valeting for a while now. I have clayed a few cars and never had a problem as long as you use a lot of lube hence why i went for the sonus as i can use soapy water. I went for this... http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/detailing-clay/sonus-ultra-fine-detailing-clay-pkg/2/prod_37.html .....as i have done a few so im happy just to use soapy water. But yes it is a really good clay bar and the link you put up would be a good starting point just use plenty of lube and like you said before have a go on your van/old body panal to get confident using the products

Im not sure whats more expensive the zed or the cleaning products! :lol:

oh no! your hooked! lol I have a sonus clay bar as these work with a soapy water so no need to keep buying a lube. I Have a pot of finish kare 1000p sealent which i was really impressed with and good on wheels to. Im thinking about getting meg's #7 glaze and have just bought Autoglym HD wax which ill be trying tomorrow. Ill be doing a full detail on my zed soon and be doing a load of photos

This is an expensive road you are going down :lol: Have you tried these http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing-machines/cat_68.html If you click on each polisher they do packages with pads and compounds etc. I have ordered a few bits from them and there service is really good

Yeah i used a machine polisher and then lots of elbow grease! took hours! Hopefully be getting my zed done good friday! pics to follow once its done

Well after bilding up my cleaning stuff i managed to give them a try today on my mates scooby as he has been on at me for a while. products used Nilfisk pressure washer CYC snow foam adaptor AD megifoam Espuma Revolution wheel cleaner varius wheel and detailing brushes Meg's 105 & 205 compound Meg's polishing pads AG SRP Finish Kare 1000p Nutty boys wax Some finished pics which are not the best. sorry no before pictures as i didn't have a camera at the start Does come in handing having a ramp to work on!

As long as i get mot done tomorrow ill be going

No not so i was speaking to the ministry the other day while we was having an MOT inspection and he told me that the new laws will only apply to new cars or cars registered after april 2012. All cars pre april 2012 are fine but if they have head light washers fitted they need to be working

......... But it has just cost £60 to do 45 miles in a transit minibus! Mind you £45 worth of it is either under the bus or on the m4.

Maybe i shouldn't lol good to let my hair down once in a while i guess

Just wondering if anyone else has had a few wobbly pops? first saturday night off i have had since new years eve!

thats a rubbish mod, it never lasts! :lol:

Thought it would be something different and there are the same style just the rear have a dish and the fronts dont. Im hoping i have made the right call lol

yeah the rota gtr's which will be on the front and i have the rota gtr-d's for the rear. I have been itching to put them on but dont get my car back till friday 23!!!

Oh right didnt know i could use it on the glass and that have to give it a go

Will do only trouble is his wheels are down the painters being refubershid hence the axle stands! I will hopefully have my car and better camera back soon! And thanks for pointing me in the direction of the poor boys stuff its smells awsome and does a good job

I also have tein HA's but there sat in the office so not sure what the ride is like! :lol: (sorry im childish)

And way some pic's of todays efforts. (there my new wheels was just trying them on to see what they looked like) I think its come out ok and thanks for the recomendations on the cleaning products! Done the job a treat
