I was so relieved to see the youtube preview image is in a car, clothed and no sign of a cup.

Ssssshhhh, no need for shouting. It's up at post #7.

Which camshaft position sensor did they replace? Did they just pick one or was there anything done to check each of them for issues?
-
No, it's aftermarket.
-
Look at what you could've won
-
What happened to the button pressing in your signature?
-
I was only stirring mate, like you say, it's a doddle to use. TBH I'd be surprised if another human is involved after you submit. Good luck on the next one.

I'm on my second Z Barclays card, dead easy to use, card's perfect. This looks like user error

Too rich for me. Cracking looking Zed mind.

That's cos you're the Archbishop of Banterbury.

PIR ive never heard that term before? Google reveals loads of posts but no explanations. It is as simple as 'the amount of product that will hit the panel'? Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk I think Ilogikal invented it, just to make me obsess over snowfoam

A good mate and former Z owner is doing a charity PC build, aiming to make a few quid for Mind and also Cancer Research, by putting this machine together and selling raffle tickets for a shot at winning it. You just need to get in touch with him on faceballz via this link https://www.facebook.com/compworks/posts/775213642617514 All you gotta do is donate a fiver per ticket for the chance to win a gaming rig, worth over a gorilla!!! I don't normally endorse Windowz products, but the good this will do outweighs my prejudices. Please click the link, take 2 minutes out of your day and get involved. It's for less than the price of a stubby or a bottle of snowfoam. Thanks

Glad it's sorted and in an inexpensive fashion when you think of what could've been. Forget eBay, this place has everything a Zedder could need

all that plastic rubbing the gorgeous new paint! Great to see it home.

You tried Zmanalex and Jon @ Emperor?

Crikey that's low balling

Love the idea of being able to flood the whole complex (it sounds better than house!) with (blue flashing) lights at the touch of a button. Also knowing which entry points are open. Wife tracker sounds ideal, almost worth getting a wife for in the first place -

Any beachhead into my network is a risk that needs eliminating! -
Depends on the brand of foam (I think BH auto foam is 4% panel impact ratio) and ultimately the throughtput of your lance. Fill your lance with say 100ml of water Strap it on your pressure washer gun Spray into a bucket until the 100ml in the lance is done Measure how much is in the bucket Do the math to work out the total flow for 100ml of "product" from your lance (E.g if there is 1 litre in the bucket, then you know 100ml of product = 1000ml when it comes out) Now you know how much water it takes to empty 100ml of "product" from the lance. Then you just need to follow dilution based on the suggested panel impact ratio of your particular brand of snow foam, et voila.

I had a play with the Home app after reading your post. At first I couldn't get to grips with it, I know everything is supposed to be intuitive these days but occasionally I wouldn't mind some instructions However, once I got my Apple TV set up as the automation hub, it all started to make sense and now I've binned off the Philips Hue apps altogether Thanks for nudge to use the Home app http://www.imore.com/how-make-your-apple-tv-or-ipad-home-hub -
I'm gonna keep going with the vertical fan angle, might come round to it. As for following the instructions... hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I haven't really got to grips with the Home app yet, I still use the Hue one for now. Even with the Hue app, they tried to push me onto the newer version 2 (the one with the multicoloured HUE text below) but I didn't like it and went back to the one with the HUE text in white. It's just right for the job IMO, nor sure what else I want lights to do that it doesn't cover. -
For the last 3 and a half years the Polished Bliss PA Foam Lance ( http://www.polishedb...lance-cat2.html ) has been my weapon of choice when it comes to covering my car, backyard, neighbours and local kids in snow foam. The last couple of washes though it stopped picking up the concentrate from the magazine and I ended up with crappy, runny foam and, after 10 minutes, only half my foam used. I did service the lance but it simply refused to draw snow through like it used to. It's had a good run, been used a lot and fairly abused through it's life. Step in Monza Foam Lance ( https://www.monzacar...w-foam-lance/0/ ) whilst I was looking for some replacement MF towels I noticed they had a deal on the lance, and a tenner less than PB. As you can see, they're more or less than same thing. Both vary the jet width and the mix of foam to water with a couple of simple twists. There's a bit more heft to the Monza one and they've also opted for a vertical jet instead of a horizontal one. I'm not sure about this yet, ended up with a bit more on the deck than usual. They also slap on some instructions... but who reads those. What I do like is that it sits perpendicular to the ground when locked and loaded, my old PA lance was a good 30 degrees off perpendicular, so I always ended up holding the lance at an angle, like I was an extra from Menace II Society - this sits better and therefore the scavenge tube has a better chance of getting every last drop of foam. On to the important bit, the foam. I was using the BH high activity (which means thin and runny, not thick and creamy) foam. The cleaning power of this stuff is second to none, I probably could have skipped the TBW if I'd been in a hurry today. Foam is decent and dwelled just as long as I would have expected from the PA lance when it was new. After enough time to fully rinse the lance through and get my phone out, it looked like this on the bonnet. And this on the floor Decent foaminess in my experience of this foam. Thick enough for you to do a Z without touching the paint All in all a decent lance, nothing major to separate it from the PA lance, in summary: - it was three quarters of the price - the Monza lance sits better on my karcher gun than the PA - the Monza goes through the foam quicker than the PA (even when it was new) which can be a good or bad thing, depending on if you like to save a few minutes covering the car or do multiple foam layers. Like it. Would recommend it on this usage. Obviously no idea yet if it will have a longer lifespan than the PA Lance (which was a very good lance BTW). If it goes as long, I'll be content with it. Worth trying if you're in the market and fancy having a tenner off. Here's an unnecessary photo of my Z badge
