I replaced one of my headlight once... got the whole car back together, packed all my tools away, came back in the house, and i'd forgot to put the plastic cover on the back of the light back on ... so had to do the whole lot again.

Cheers all.. I used white spirit in the end... but im not sure how it has turned out... it removed most of the gunk, but has left a slimy/sticky finish to it finish to it so i dont know if its melting the plastic too. Its in the bath with hot water and fairy liquid at the moment so we'll see...

Hi, The last outstanding task to do before im happy to sell my car is to re-finish the interior transmission tunnel. This was covered in carbon cloth but it didnt look good, and R35LEE cant find a replacement... so im stripping it and repainting. Does anyone know of a solvent or anything that will remove this glue/contact adhesive residue?? Will brake cleaner do it??

Every other car round here is an AM. They dont do anything for me...

Has anyone got the iphone lolcats and loldogs apps? They're free, and awesome!! I'll save he funny ones to my phone while browsing... here's my current fave:

Lambo for me, as im not sure if F40's are under £150k... if they are then F40 every day of the week.

Wouldnt it be easier to put your spare on and send it away?

+1... i'll be there - although i may have sold the zed by then so i'll park round the corner Where are you from if KK is local?

Yep, talk to my dad in the states via iPhone skype. Is fantastic, although video calling on the laptop drops connection quite frequently...

Wrecked it how? Any ideas when the thread was posted? Cheers. Absolutely no idea unfortunately on both parts. ...and you cant search for 'LPG' on here as its only 3 letters

There was a thread about an LPG converted zed on here not long ago, and that it had wrecked the engine after a few years.

Dont do it mate... while it looks good, taking the headlights apart is a very nasty job... i dont know how Paul did it. You have to melt the plastic apart using a heat gun and the point that the thick black glue/gunk melts is about 2 degrees different to the point that your headlight plastic melts

I see your point, but i think the zed is a lot more fun to drive than 95% of other cars, even though its not the quickest. I've had fast bmw's in the past and they are so boring.

+1 How scary?!

I'd keep out of site of the marshalls etc... may not allow you to do this as you're making money off the back of them. As for a name... something simple and obvious. track-pix pit lane - pics etc etc

Yeh me and the missus watched all 3 rush hour's the other week. Then we went online to read about what other films Chris Tucker had done, and he's only done about 3 others. He became a born again christian

I hardly ever get anyone wanting to race at all The only one i can think of recently is an old shape Clio 197 i think... it was heavily modded and very quick. It was about 3 or 4 straight drag races and every one we were equal up to about 90 and then i started to pull away very slightly. I was impressed with it

Whats wrong with Jap headlights mate? They're perfectly fine in this country...

yes - they wont be able to see the session only the fact that you are using it (they cant see web pages you browse remotely) This will only work if port 2200 is enabled on the firewall, or port 3389 for RDP session I've been using logmein to home for the last month from work, as i got a new work PC with loads of web monitoring software that 'coaches' the website's i visit. i just wanted to check it wasnt a futile exercise.

Watched a documentary last week of Charlie Boorman (sp?) training for this. It looks unreal.

+1 Tiff and VBH love the zed. All i put it down to is that clarkson has driven every performance car imaginable and in that company, the zed probably is crap He doesnt review many lower status cars to be fair does he? It starts at the zed/tt/rx8 end of the scale.

Does using logmein to your home PC work... i.e. stop them monitoring what you view?

Payment made, sold and in the post etc - awaiting delivery Question is - from what I can tell, most people wire these up to the side-lights, but where is the easiest place to wire them up so they come on when the engine is on but without having the sidelights on? (so they are on all the time the engine is running, regardless of lights, night or day) ...i took my sidelight bulbs out when i had these, so just the leds were on at the front... but it did mean by rear lights were on, but no biggie?

Nah, he's only done it to get out of the house for some peace and quiet surely?

Great story. I think i hate clampers more than anything in the world.
