Nope - link is broken... I could do with it as well

When I first got the Zed the TC was off due to a fault and I found the car very informative when driving. If it was going to go, I knew about it, was prepared for it and it was very controlled. At present I have it turned on as the roads are slippery and unpredictable with the volume of leaves that have fallen recently. I do find it intrusive though - as others have said - and by cutting all power, would be dangerous in some situations. It is a reassuring back up though and certainly worth while as you are getting to know RWD characteristics. Would absolutely recommend an airfield or similar day to turn it off and really test your car though...I will do one in the Zed once the new year arrives to send my rear tyres over the wear indicators in style!

The camping has just been arranged for myself and a group of mates - we are going to do FoS next year instead of Le Mans (the novelty has worn off as it gets more touristy) Useful tip for the grandstand passes, thanks!

Payment arranged as per pm Paul, thanks again!

This cheered me up +1 though, time has no meaning! I'm having to write down the times that I am taking them so i dont double up...pretty spaced

And again I'll have it

**Pointless thread alert** I slipped a disk in my back yesterday and spent the day in a&e in absolute agony...bad times! However, tramadol hydrochloride and diclofenac sodium are absolutely awesome - Everything is fuzzy! The list of side effects are pretty scary...I may end up as a cross dressing nympho with horns!

Pm sent

I have always gone for remoulds personally...I like the buzz of playing of Russian Roulette every time I turn the key Aside from that I have been very impressed with the Seccanta's - rears are due in the next 2k miles and have been looking at Vred's replacements for the Seccanta's - Vorti...tread pattern looks reassuring but I haven't found anyone that has driven on them yet

I cannot watch the video in the office so can't hear exactly what you are after until I get home but... There was something around a few years ago called a Vortex system - it was a box that you introduced into the system for claimed performance through exhaust gas channeling...my gut feel is that it was just for noise and had a very jet engine sound. Cartainly not my cup of tea but a suggestion none the less! There used to be a local exhaust fitter that could tune a system depending on what you were after - I think he is dead now (exhausted through age as opposed to an exhaust based accident) but don't under estimate what you can achieve with some pipe tuning...may make it a bit more trial and error than you would like - but exhaust tips, valves, pipe diameters and box internals can all make a difference.

I wouldn't have said that there is anything there that is terminal - it all looks to be surface corrosion. Happy to be proven wrong if you can put a finger through it...? I would take a wire brush or flap wheel to it and then give it a few coats of hammerite or similar after some rust proofer. Then top it off with some gravitex for good measure

Everyone is the same height when lying down...

Im not far off 30 and met my current other half online...more by accident than anything. I got out of a 3 year relationship, gave the online thing a look out of morbid curiosity and here I am four months later. There is allot to be said for online as it fits around work without the need to loiter in bars on the off chance that someone eligible walks in but there are a fair share of weirdos out there. One guy from the office picked up a lady admirer half his age. She was very normal on the surface but dig a little deeper and there were drugs, unemployment, bankrupcy and unresolved mentalness!!

MOT and full oil change - engine, box and diff. Not really mods but the box with the moly grease has made a world of difference!

Spot on, cheers Alex!

Cheers Neil, I've got all the genuine gear from Alex Research says the box is 2.9l. Just diff to confirm now

Going to do my oil services today while the car is on the ramps for the MOT but can anyone confirm how much oil for the engine, gearbox and diff? I did have a pm from Alex but is gone in my inbox clear out. From memory, engine was 4.9l, box was 2.8l and diff was 1.9? Cheers Chris

Does anyone have a BT adaptor that they would like to part ways with? Not urgent so happy to wait for a reasonably priced unit

+1 although Sky INsurance were very helpful and agreed to waive the admin fee...but others may not be so flexible

Then go for a nipple clamp for your own store and use a big effing hammer on the car - £95 stays in your pocket

Had this with my car. The seller transferred the plate onto their new car - but owing to the lead time, I drove with his plate on for a week or so. The seller sends the info off to the DVLA who action the transfer and then he will be issued with all new paperwork (V5, MOT etc.) that he will need to pass to you. You then need to get new plates made up and remove the private plates. You may well get the original plate that was on the zed prior to the private plate (I did) - but there is no guarantee. Note that you shouldn't drive on the wrong plates - which can cause you a day or so delay depending on where you source your new plates from. You could make all of this the sellers problem and swerve the cost of new plates and the effort of running around for it - that was my lesson learnt. You are the buyer - call the shots!

Cheers Gents, After a genuine carbon item really - have a couple of avenues to persue, but thanks for the offers

In truth....my solution only works where removing the old ones and they are knackered. Then a moderate tap in with a piece of wood to spread the load and avoid damaging the new joint

Assuming its a similar design to Honda and the like, I tend to use a suitable drift (or scrap socket) and an effing big hammer...not quite as delicate as that press - but suitably effective

Cheers Alex, am just after confirmation of volumes, pm on its way
