    Clutch fluid

    Hi, no not unless it's causing an issue. First action fluid change as it a serviceable item in effect.
  3. Few detailing goodies received from @G1en@waxandshine and I was eager to try out CarChem Revolt and Gtechniq WM2 Microfibre Wash Mitt. Never had a posh mitt before, so lets see what's the fuss about. Left to right: A) Car Pride microfiber wash pad b) Simoniz microfiber wash mitt C) Gtechniq WM2 microfibre wash mitt D) Auto XS microfiber wash mitt A) Pros - easy and safe to manoeuvre, holds almost right amount of suds, easy to clean between sections. Cheap to buy. Cons - doesn't retain its shape after prolonged use. Not able to feel the contours of some of the panels. Glide factor - 7 b) Pros - easy and safe to manoeuvre, easy to clean between sections. Retains its shape. Cheap to buy. Cons - holds just shy of the right amount of suds, meaning extra returns to bucket. Ultimately no bad thing. Glide factor - 6 C) Pros - Dirt releasing design, super easy to clean between sections. Holds tones of suds so less bucket visits. Will hold its shape, Immense glide. Cons - holds way to much water for my liking, this almost dilutes the shampoo whilst cleaning panels. Heavy in use. Can't feel the contours of the panel. Glide factor - 10 D) Pros - easy and safe to manoeuvre, holds the perfect amount of suds. Holds its shape, feel the contours of the panel. Cheap to buy. Cons - Not than easy to clean out between panels. Glide factor - 8 Conclusion C) looks and feels great! And once I got the hang of how I liked it to perform, it's the best out of the bunch. b) will continue to be used for the lower sections of the car as it has a better feel and scrub action where needed. CarChem wheel cleaner and fallout remover is wonderful to use. 10/10, yes smell like a iron out would but not terrible. Wheels have never been cleaner!

    Clutch fluid

    With the fluid being brown in colour, it is recommended to have it replaced. I use this as it's better suited to sprinted and long drives.
  5. Do it yourself, ive bypassed mine with a cable tie and old zip pull.
  6. Call this a sports car owners forum.................
  7. How long did the 1.6 Peugeot stay ahead for lol..............
  8. Once you happy with them, C4 https://waxandshine.co.uk/shop?olsPage=products%2Fc4-permanent-trim-restorer
  9. Tidy work on the handles and lamps, the gloss black works well with the other bits too. What have you used to protect the lamps after polishing?
  10. Nice one again to Glen @ Wax and Shine, for super fast delivery of some detailing goodies. Genuinely check out Wax and Shine before placing an order elsewhere. Thus far I've found their prices to be either the same as Clean Your Car, Polish Bliss, eBay, Amazon etc if not cheaper. Always doing offers so what's not to like https://www.350z-uk.com/forum/251-wax-and-shine/ www.waxandshine.co.uk
  11. Fantastic route, has a bit of everything. My very favourite route in the midlands thus far is: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/52.3510041,-1.7769238/52.3024723,-1.651377/52.3858768,-1.7389302/52.3515305,-1.777154/@52.3422085,-1.7589176,12.49z/data=!4m11!4m10!1m0!1m5!3m4!1m2!1d-1.6670379!2d52.3702277!3s0x4870b5e736880f4d:0x44def53bfb91ee59!1m0!1m0!3e0 The 7 mile stretch along the bottom, Old Warrick Road *McLaren (Rybrook) going to Hatton is #bliss
  12. Mate he's a terrible passenger!! Fully $hit himself like we were in a Huracan. We had a GREAT time
  13. BOOKING CONFIRMED Lets be havin' yah, same day, same conditions, same machines lets see what's what
  14. A day later than planned but she's done. Too much laughs @Maggz thanx again for leading on the way back.
  15. Absolute weapons even in standard form, love the dials in these with the needle straight down at rest!!
  16. If the vehicle didn't do this prior to the new brakes being fitted, then the issue will be with the new parts. First action would be to have them removed, thoroughly cleaned up including the hub face and refitted followed by another bedding in process. In hot weather the tyre pressures will go up a tad and if they were already for whatever reason over inflated this could cause the steering to feel pointy and light.
  17. Right then 'driving gods' who's up for Daytona Tamworth next month? Plan would be to either meet up there on the day or to pre meet at Melbicks 11am and look to leave/convoy over to Tamworth at 12noon. Zed meet, short 35 mins drive out and karting in one https://www.daytona.co.uk/venues/tamworth/ https://www.daytona.co.uk/booking-system/tamworth-booking/ Its an Open Sprint race for competitors we'd be looking to tag on to.
