  1. Clarity is the Key. Most people have a budget in mind and will actively seek out the best prices. If i want something and the price is not stated i will automatically go to the one with the price shown and if that just happens to fall within budget i buy it. My advice to traders is, show all prices and a least get on the search list.
  2. Dont be fooled though. The Z is an almighty large car to polish by hand. I have invested in a Meguires DA polisher which makes things a lot easier and you dont run the risk of burning the paint as you would with a normal buffing mop. There are lots of new DA's about now, Kestrel and a few others which are reasonably priced and do the same thing but as with all things Meguires are at the front of the detailing game and have done all the R&D (research Development) so have developed the techniques to produce the best results. I used to have a Silver GSI Turbo that got the same treatment and that also looked great.
  3. 1. use swirl X to remove all swirls. 2.Meguies paint cleaner 3.meguires polish 4.Meguires carnonara wax Polish with good quality micro fibre cloth. take your time and the results can be excellent Ps Black is the best colour.
  4. Finally got the plenum back from the polisher. Fitted along with some nice new hoses. A few pics below.
  5. Tried the manual way but nothing happens. A friend is bringing a code reader thanks
  6. Hi all. I have a slight problem and hoping that someone out there will be able to shead some light. I recently posted my intention to follow other Z owners by having the cast plenum polished. We i have just had it back from the polisher (looks Great) put everythingback on and fired the Z back to life after 3 weeks. She fire up first time and is running just fine the problem is that the Malfunction indicator light has stayed on. It's constant and not blinking. I have tried to re-set the accelorator position and the throtle control actuator as per the manual but it's still on. ANY IDEAS PLEASE
  7. Sounds like a very good idea. The wife loves the lakes so may get to stay a little longer than at the Zfest. Where is the location you are looking at? Rothers2901
  8. The metal tabs are connected to the actual pads (complete). The only indication of wear is a graiting noise, metal on metal. Nothing will show up on the dash.
  9. As far as im aware the z doesnt have any electronic wear sensors. On the Brembo style breaking system the only thing that is fitted to the pads are metal wear tabs which rub on hte disc when low. Hope this helps.
  10. I also am doing slight mods, Plenum, air filter. What cost are we looking at for the UPREV?
  11. not a good picture to post. Told the wife i was doing it in the garage
  12. At last mastered posting pictures. Some from the meet before the rain set in.
  13. Can anyone help an old computer illiterate member. I was wanting to post some pictures using photo bucket but haven't got a clue. Any helpers please?
  14. Very tidy indeed, Ps. As i am new to posting pic how have you posted the pis all in sequence? i have tried but it only allows 3 at a time.
  15. It seems to have had troubled life i would stay well clear. Dont rush one will turn up that has been well looked after.
  16. The fine will always remain the same if given a fixed penalty ticket £30. BUT if you are consitsantly stopped by the same officer they may decide to summons you to court. Then the magistrates may impose a greater fine but still can not confiscate your plates.
  17. In 1973 the appearance of registration plates was changed for the first time since 1903. From 1 January, vehicles were required to have reflective number plates - black on white at the front and black on yellow at the back. Reflective plates were introduced so that unlit vehicles could be seen more easily at night. The regulations also provided for the size, shape and character of registration marks. Therfore the law states its illegal to display your number plate as it is. The consequences are as following if the police stop you. 1. they will do nothing andf let you go, (probably not happen) 2. you will receive a none endorsable fixed penalty £30 3. At best be issued with a VDRS (vehicle defect rectification scheme) ticket which allows you 14 days to rectify the plate, take t to an MOT centre and return the endored ticket resulting in no further action. The choice is yours.
