Changed mine at 66k,and when i looked at it,there went much left on it. Changed mine for a Lightweight flywheel and Exedy Clutch. Miles better now,clutch is so light really makes a difference,and the LW flywheel is superb,though can see why its not for everyone.

Sorry,has to be British Racing Green,or the dark red they do.

That was what i was hoping to be able to do. As surely if the handle just pulls the mechanism,then just pulling the mechanism with a cable tie will do the same thing.

I have no idea what Syvecs or S6 is,but if you have developed switchable maps for the TC then thats very cool.

The new style face lifted XF really looks the part,let us know your thoughts. See if you can get a drive in an R, you know,just to compare.

Got to love Kimi, as dull as some people think he is, hes actually quite the opposite.

Also you can get in the car Duke of Hazzard style :lol: No theres an idea..............

I have plenty of the 3m tape,so il use that instead,cheers for the tip

Not a bad idea i guess,i can use gaffer tape on the rubbers so i dont touch the paintwork.

I have a car cover,trouble is,i doubt il be able to get the car cleaned before I need to take the handles off,so will have to go in the garage dirty

Im hoping to have my door handles sorted while im away for a couple of weeks. Iv seen the guide on how to remove the handles,but is there any way of being able to close the door with the window closed and still being able to get back into the car at a later date? Was thinking i could cable tie the mechanism handle so that i can pull it when i come back to the car. Dont want to leave the window open for nearly 3 weeks while the car is in my garage,as the amount of dust that will be in there will be mental. ANy suggestions that dont involve climbing through the boot?

Up to you how you play it,but food and drink there is expensive,so maybe take a packed lunch,but take your wallet anyway,as there are tons of stools and stands there to spend your money. Watch your speed when you get about 30-40 minutes away too,as there are always police with speed guns dotted around the place. Its a great place to go and im sure you will have a great time.

Id say no to the Grandstand,but without a doubt worth going! You just have to see the pictures that people post on the forum to know its a mecca for car nuts. Its really busy,and dont try to do all of it in one day,you just wont. If you go for a day,check out everything that you want to see,and dont worry about what you dont as you will have a brilliant time anyway.

Amazing car! My mums husband as a previous CL500,and that is beautiful,this must be on another planet! Does it fit in the garage? Looks like it could be abit tight.lol

At a recent track day,i kept pace with a 996 C4S down the straights,and had him on corners. (though the corners thing was probably down to the driver) The only area I struggled with was traction out of corners,as the 911 is rear engined and 4wd. I was very happy with the performance of the Zed,it was fast enough down the straights to keep up with alot of cars, and round the corners it was blinding,but I did have the ARB's set to their hardest setting. Yes there are faster hat backs out there,but they appeal to a different market. I love the noise of my Zed probably more than most things about the car,not a fan of the straight six sound. Yes its abit lardy,but its a GT car,not an out an out sports car like an Elise/VX220T/VXR,and as such you take the luxury and have to accept the downsides of that,or strip it all out.

Wow,im exhausted,what a race,great drive by Kimi, and a race to watch if you ever doubted Vettel and his over taking ability. Looking forward to going to Austin and Brazil for the last 2 races.

Vettel is 25-1 to win the race!

What a total load of b0ll0cks! I suppose you cant argue with the facts,and we have to accept the consequences,no matter how hard they are to take. Its a long race,and now Seb has to drive his butt off to get some points to stay in the championship hunt.

Good news Got to be honest,didnt do the how rule and thumb thing,and now abit worries that i may have over tightened them. Both belts have abit of slack in them,not mega tight,but thinking that i should go out and loosen them abit.

Just done mine,seems to have fixed the squeaking now. The larger belt was pretty slack,the smaller one slightly less so. Really easy to do,needed a breaker bar to slacken the pulley bolts,but once that was done,was a quick job. Hopefully thats the end of it for a while now.

Will have a stab at it tomorrow morning before work

I think i was at around 98dB,thats the unresonated version,with uprated Y pipe.

I have no idea what ones are the tensioner pulleys.

Is it the sort of thing that i can do myself,or do i need to take it to a garage?

They were tightened up not long after they were fitted as they were squeaking,just wondered if they would constantly stretch,and il end up with the issue every year.
