DCarey

Thankyou everyone, I'm not drinking it yet but will be later and at the weekend. The Z is booked in on the 10th of December so that's getting sorted soon too :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:

Hello and welcome to the club, I'm one of the other guys Emero mentioned, I'm in Kenilworth so am only a few miles from you. Good luck with the test tomorrow. And hopefully we should see you around soon enough.

My mates sister has just sent me a link to Probably not work safe...

Can I say that is a purely racist car, and if such a car were to be made for catholics we would have another 2 towers all over again... :rant:

FAO: RICH666 Yes but without curiosity we would never have invented anything including engines and thereby the Z.... For all the others I'll give you a translation 'bet you are really gutted that you just spent time translating this hex arent you remember curiosity killed the cat'

Mine's bayside blue, but I bought it like that, If for whatever reason I did change it I would have to have a really rich copper (With almost a hint of red), like a brand new 1p or 2p.

Sorry for late reply, Yeah HL2 is half life 2, the others are episodes 1 + 2, basically add-ons to the HL2 story, Portal was good too

Yeah it was the Total garage, this was gunmetal grey though, I couldn't see roo many details as I was trying to get the number plate.

Saw you turning into the petrol station near george in the tree at 18:45ish today

I got it on PC last week, I haven't really played it much as I've been busy playing through HL2, EP1 and EP2. It's a bit too 'cartoony' for me though.

Good find, I'm not sure I quite understood what was going on so I may have to watch it a few more times yet :D

I don't mind doing going to both events, So long as it doesn't adversely affect my OT :wack:

Opposite ends then, I was somewhere between Broughton-in-furness and High Nibthwaite I saw loads of zeds that week, true that was probably because I went back down to nottingham for the AGM :tongue:

I was there last week to, and also did the wrynose and hardknott passes, did you find the your clutch slipped on a couple of the steeper sections?

everyone has forgotten about me already. I was there... I was the one with the big dent :mad:

How could you miss it, you don't even have to look for the one colour :tongue: :p

bloody typical, I ordered a new one earlier. Oh well what's £26~, the fan was turning on/off as I was fiddling with the connector

try cleaning the connector on the IAA valve, search the FAQ section...

StellaZ I found these earlier if they help TPS, IAA In fact you have already posted in those 2 links :rofl: There is also a tech article on the aus 300 forum on the cleaning of the IAA I'll be trying these as soon as I get the new temp sender from Mr F

How much is a new temp sensor and connector? And does anyone happen to have the part numbers?

Okay another quick update I've just cleaned the contacts on the temp sensor, and tried starting the car, after a lot of hesitation it fired up with a very rough idle +/- 250rpm. The electric fan was permanently on, so I let it run upto temperature. At 70DegC (Greddy gauge) the electric fan cut off, and by this time the idle had also started to calm down to +/- 20rpm (On digital rev counter) although it was quite high at about 950rpm. Other than that it sounded quite normal. I couldn't smell any fuel by the exhausts and there was no smoke. I would still like to work out what caused all of this so I will be giving DTA a ring this week. Does anyone have any other suggestions. Also how would I check the injectors were working or not?

I've just checked the ECU and am getting a code 13, I flushed the coolant a few days ago so I'll go and fiddle with the connector in a minute. But I can't see that causing my other problems.

For the last few weeks the Z has started dropping revs (200 or so rpm) every time I push the accelerator then picks up again and seems to work fine. The idle hasn't been perfect recently either. Then this morning I started it up and was running slightly rougher than it has been, I left it running while taking the targas off and noticed black smoke along with a very strong smell of fuel. I then tried moving it outside the house to take a closer look at it, it moved 5 yards then stopped and won't start again. I'm guessing this is the PTU. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you Dave
