Which spark plugs should i use running 16psi ,water injection and big greddy sidemounts. And 400+ bhp, or should i say 6 iveco lowloader power at min!

UPDATE, still no wiser as too the problem, swapped MAF and PTU but no difference. There was no chance of getting at the PTU last night as I've had to remove the front bumper and the ns headlight, but the wiring on the extension is a total bodge up and I'm loosing oil sumwere aswell, possibly from oil cooler rad as it's getting sucked through the radiator and covering everything so a re wire and a good degrease is first on the cards and then a full service with plugs and timing belt etc and compression testing

Finally got home at 5.55am after being on the back of 5 low loaders! Apparently it's the rule now. If they go out of area it has to be on a tacho graph and the drivers had been working all day. I used brittania rescue and got to say they were ultra efficient as the truck was always already there waiting for us at each swap over. Thanks to every body who helped on the site aswell especially mark. I'm now going to rip the front of the car off in the start of its major service and overhaul Paul There isn't another owners club like this one

Cheers mark, I'll give u a ring tomorrow. Very much appreciated:thumbup:

At j10, your phones going to ans machine mark

We're not far from there. We r just passing J13 so maybe 10 miles off. Driver says ok. Were in a big green/yellow crew cab low loader

It's been diverted and extended from under the CAS and put under the passenger headlight so would have to remove passenger hard pipes to access the PTU. were would u want to meet at Kettering then at least I could try and change myself. Have got the tools needed pretty much I think. How much do u want for the PTU if it's that?

We are 1 hr 15 away

We are just leaving Cambridge now mate but down know which way we are going to Corley, I don't want too put u to too much trouble though

Have got recovery coming out but there just taking me to Corley srvs and then sum1 else is taking us a bit further and then a bit further! How far away from Corley are you mate?

Nearly limped as far as Cambridge services! Conked out about half a mile off!

I think were gonna have to pretend that we are my mam and dad and use there recovery!

Have got 276 miles too go to get home aswell!!

Air filters dry and unplugging MAF makes it worse!

I'm just between J34 and J35 near a place called Milton, cambridge - - - Updated - - - It's firing up but running like it's firing on 3 cylinders or totally flooded

It does get better after I sit a bit then drive for 5 to 10 miles and it goes again. The prick who had the car before me has extended the PTU and stuck it under passenger head light so can't even get too it, but the wiring extension is a total fck up! I'm with green flag but there saying that the car I originally covered and scrapped 7 months ago is the car that's covered even though I've had at least 3 arguments with them about me telling them my new reg!

Disconnecting MAF does nothing

My heap of about to be scrapped junk of a ZX has just left me stranded on the A14 near Cambridge! No idea at all what's wrong with it, just started coffin, spluttering, misfiring and cutting out! Have checked all connections under the bonnet and it's not overheating and I've got a 5 yr old in the car aswell! I'm really pissed off with this car at the minute coz it's just one thing after another! Any ideas? Anyone In Cambridge? Paul the fuming!

I was going to make a sarcastic comment when i first read the title as i didnt think of the serious nature of the post but all im going to say now is well done and good luck in the future

that would be great mate, ive got the car with me today in kelvedon paul

I live in ipswich but work in kelvedon so will be passing Colchester just after 5pm tomorrow if your about mate?

Can anyone recommend a good mechanic or garage in the ipswich area that knows there way around the Z? Mine is running like a bag of shit like it's running on 4 or 5 cylinders? And strangely I don't have anything at all were the PTU normally goes on the cam belt cover?

That's got your name written all over it mate!

Who'd u pinch them off?

Have we any members on here from Ipswich?
