Very unlikely to be lean the air flow is read by the meters anyhow, plus stock cars are very rich from the factory , thats really not a concern

Who do i tell when changing reg plates?
Richf replied to Dynamic Turtle's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Check your pcp agreement, sometimes you need to get permission before changing the plate and there can be an admin fee charged -
I had heard that some sizes of MPSS were being dropped , I had trouble finding a new front one recently for mine , Black Circles said they had one in stock but took over a week to actually get it

Well, for a start I don't have gas. However, I do have oil which costs around £50 per month. Secondly, I have 4 high powered PC's running 24/7 365 plus a few laptops which cost around £10-15 a month for the PC's, maybe a fiver for each laptop. On the plus side my water rates are very low as I don't have to pay any sewerage charges. No idea when we'll get a Smart Meter, isolated houses like mine tend to be at the back of the queue. Pete Very similar to me , also on oil fired heating but economy 7 for the hot water , beefy pc's and a tumble drier dont help

I wish, its a 5 bed detached, it was £55pm when we moved in 17 years ago !

wow might have to take a look at these , our DD is £121 pm if the savings compares thats significant

Sure I read somewhere than the 350z killed more young male drivers in the US than any other model

Pop up to H-Dev , they keep the oem filters in stock and no doubt will take a quick look for you

Could have been a diesel spill i guess , thats not uncommon,on on roundabouts ask any biker
-
Clutch pedal switch and brake switch are the prime suspects usually , there is often some adjustment so you might be able to tweak it
-
yes they are just stuck on , you can buy them from Nissan about £150 a pair iirc

I'm no longer Rich from H-Dev just Rich , but i havent seen any evidence of it working particularly effectively on cars that have always been run on premium fuel . Quite a few people from another forum i frequent had issues after having their cars treated. The Wheeler Dealers show is hardly impartial either, so in summary i am not convinced enough of the benefits to risk it personally

I'd check/change the plugs first , just use copper ones they are cheap enough and cheaper than buying coil packs

I did a lot of research on it with a view to running it in the charge cooler on my zed. The general consensus is that it isnt as effective a coolant as a conventional water based coolant like the Nissan stuff. The real benefit it has is that it doesnt pressurize which makes it better for older less efficient or perhaps porous coolant systems. For track use it may be worth checking up on whether its legal, I know some events insist on water only Site like this may be useful , there is a lot of less useful anecdotal info around http://www.norosion.com/evanstest.htm After proper conversion to the Evans products, the average temperature of engine cylinder heads increased by 115-140oF, versus running with No-Rosion and water. The reason for hotter cylinder heads relates to the specific heat capacity of these different fluids. Water has a specific heat capacity of 1.00. It transfers heat more effectively than any other fluid, and is therefore used as the reference fluid in the scientific measure of specific heat capacity. Comparatively, the specific heat capacity of the various glycol solutions in the Evans products ranges from 0.64 to 0.68. So they conduct roughly half as much heat as does water, or water with No-Rosion. (No-Rosion does not alter the specific heat capacity of water.) Cylinder head temperatures of 115-140oF hotter with the Evans products translates to a stabilized bulk coolant temperature increase of 31-48oF, as compared to No-Rosion and water.

Happened to a mate of mine , he took his newly purchased Skyline in for a cam belt change , the garage owners son took it for a joyride and wrote it off , they paid out eventually

yep I used to get a lot of enquiries on the Elgrand at work . You cant fit a 350z engine in the elgrand and even if you swap the ecu's over there are issues getting them to work , i'm sure like anything it can be made to work if you start rewiring things etc but its far from straightforward and its not a well-trodden path in terms of useful information

Snow mode is fitted to the 370z from 2012 onwards, its not especially clever it pulls away using 2nd gear instead of first and it dulls the throttle pedal inputs, it can be especially useful if the throttle values are altered ie if the car is mapped or a sprintbooster type device is fitted

As a seller I wouldn't accept a bankers draft, preferably a transfer inside a bank, if not i would accept a transfer at my home using my wi-fi

Are you absolutely certain than the wheel went back on straight , even one spline out can cause this

Lucky escape when my daughter asked me to "check the oil" on her car

Oops! Thought I had the whole 'opposite lock' thing down.
