even if it wasnt their fault (which it was), how can they charge that much for a head job??!! ffs?! :eek: I thought we were expensive doing head jobs on mercs. around £1000 (including resurfacing). looks like were a bargain basement compared to that!! :rolleyes: autodata time to r&i headgaskets: 15.1 hrs. lets lose the odd £236 on parts. £6000 on labour. thats £397.35 ph!!!! where is it again, i think i'll go for a job there, wonder what they pay their techs?!

and this is from a guy that calls himself cuckoo!!! :rolleyes: lmao! :D

any one got a copy of it?? for evaluation purposes. :)

my suppliers dont use toyo's at the mo, iv asked them to look into getting them (coz i want some too! :D ) i'll try to find out tomorrow.

im off work today, but i'll have a look for you tomorrow on my trade price list. any particular make?

LMFAO!! anyone in particular waz????? :D

didnt even know the zeds had bulb failure monitoring :rolleyes: any way, if its like the merc system, then even the wrong wattage bulb will cause it to detect a fault, ie 10w sidelight where it should be a 5w etc, or a poor contact. also check the "condition" of the bulbs, one that has gone black or silver can affect the current draw too. hth

nope.

a 165? you thinking of fitting fiesta tyres to your zed?? less MASS huh? good thinking!! :D

lol, so you need a crossover cable!! got it! (only 1, not 3!) :D

posted at the same time as bilkey :rolleyes:

if your only connecting 2 pc's ie directly together, no hub, then you need a crossover cable/connector. thats all you need

LOL watch out stu, im gonna take my angle grinder to the next meet, kent angle grinder massacre anyone????????? :D

overclockers was the best when I got mine, dont know how this price compares at the mo.

could poss sort something out, once you know exactly what you want let me know. I may be able to sort some of it out outside work hours, but i dont get too involved these days cos 1, its to fecking cold outside & 2, I get precious little free time anyway so it may have to be done at work (I aint doing a clutch on my back on axle stands anyway!!) our labour rate is £55 ph + vat, i may be able to wangle a bit of discount on that tho for ya. any way, let me know what you decide

cone filter £100 - £200 diy job SS exhaust cat back £450 + diy job / 1 hours labour max ecu, real chip or....................? ;) boost jets pennies! (dont start waz!!:D ) boost gauge £50+ diy job / 1 hours labour boost controller £200+ never installed but cant be that bad + your gonna need an uprated clutch £350 4-5 hours labour

why do they even bother :rolleyes: fun for us i 'spose :D

replacing the injectors is a bit ott imo, there not gonna max out on stock internals/turbos so why bother? you'll need to do them if you run bigger turbo's tho, but there not on your wish list!

no, with the flap pushed forwards it only needs something behind just to flick it out. you can actually push it in at the front of the flap at the same time as pushing it to the front to lever it open.

push the flap towards the front of the car & pull open with key behind the flap! :rolleyes: im kinda getting used to it now lol!:D

I use a company in Kent - Lepsons. very good but prob too far away for you guys.

mine too, cable has bust on mine, havnt been arsed to sort it yet :rolleyes:

just been recommended Sussex Autos for auto box needs. not used them personally, so cant really comment. £800 +vat for ours it seems (recon box) dunno if its any use to anyone

yes, the car is in safety, sorry, STANDARD ( ;) ) boost when cold (7psi) you only get full boost when its warm. the standard boost gauge is well known for its innacuracy, so for a true reading you need an aftermarket one. just 1 thing: are you taking the piss!!???? :confused: :D

depends if you really want to keep the car, if you still like the car but want a fresher look, then do it!! it'l look better than any Supra & you know the condition of your own car, no going through that sorting-out-another-vgc-car-that-needs-sorting-still stage :rolleyes: if you plan on selling in a couple of years anyway then maybe think twice - but still do it!! :D
