Cheers buddy much appreciated,might well do that, although I am working all this weekend so will have to make it after that if I can't figure it out. I have just done the diagnostics on the ecu and it comes up code 55 so all is good there.

How do you perform a diogastics test? Is it where you turn the screw on the side of the ecu and count the flashes? Cheers James

Ok I have changed all the spark plugs now and it still seems to be miss firing a bit, think it's slightly better than before tho. A garage said it could be the fuel I use at telco because that stuff is crap apparently. I have checked all the connections to the coils and they seem fine. Has anyone got any other ideas what it could be. Cheers James

Thanks very much mate

Can anyone tell me if the brake disks on a NA are the same as the ones on a TT. Cheers James

Not really started it yet mate was just having a quick look before I go out for the day which I could really do without, just wanna get it sorted, think Mother's Day is going on hold tomorrow. Ha ha. Will the connectors be ok without the clips, or is a case of having to find and buy new ones? Cheers

It looks like a lot of the connection clips to the coil packs are brittle and just breaking.

Thanks very much everyone, great help. I will let you know how I get on. Cheers

Yer I put half a bottle in with £40 of fuel, came out a little fast! Supposed to be half a bottle for full tank, but that was over a week ago and it only stared miss behaving yesterday, but I guess it would take time to foul up plugs?

Ok thanks mate, what do I need to do if it's only running on 5 cylinders? Is it a big prob?

Not too sure if I'm running on all 6 or not. How do I tell? I'm out all day tomorrow but that's very kind mate. I think it's more of a hesitation but I really don't know as I have no idea what mis firing would sound like, it did seem like it's a louder. As you can tell I know next to nothing but really want to learn more so you guys are a great help, thank you. Think I will change the spark plus first see how that goes, any idea which ones to get are good that don't cost a fortune. Thanks again James

Not too sure if I am firing on all 6 or not, how do I tell? Out all day tomorrow aswel but thats very kind mate. Think it's more of a hesitation, but to be honest I know nothing.

Hi everyone, My car has just started to feel a bit odd, I don't know a massive amount about engines but it seems like it might be miss firing a little, on idle it sits at about 500rpm. When pulling away it almost feels like it wants to stall and holds back a bit. Seems to get a bit better when it is run for a while, also a little smokey but that could be down to a little too much redex as it is White smoke. Has anyone got any ideas what it could be. Many thanks James

Saw a black convertible in my home village of Milford on the cliff top taking pics of his car. I think it must be the same one I saw before by lymington. Seems like someone might live close to me with a 300. Are you on the forum?

Thanks very much mate, I think my mate has got a sump plug tool I can use so might have a crack at it this weekend.

Thanks very much guys, great help.

Ok cheers mate, I will look into changing it. Do you know if that's an easy job?

Hi everyone, When putting my car into 2nd gear it crunches, it seems to be only when the car has just been started, once the engine has warmed up she pops in 2nd fine and it's only 2nd gear it happens with. Any ideas? Cheers James

I was thinking maybe he was coming from there, was hoping to see a load of zed cruising past :)

It not too far away mate, just under a hour and a half I think.

Pretty sure it was black, think it had wings west front bumper and the driver was bald.

I was driving up to beaulieu in my delivery van and at the top of wallhampton hill near lymington a very nice black convertible passed me with the hood down making the most of what is going to probably be the only sunny day we get for a long time. First time I have seen a zed in this area for many years and was a really nice looking car. James

Hi folks, Does anyone know where I could buy some kaminari side skirts from in the uk? Cheers James

Hi mate, I'm in Milford on sea near lymington

She is big standard at the mo (not for long though). Will try and get some pics up anyway if I can work out how to do it!
