yeah, true that. then again, I dunno if the previous owner fuelled with V-Power only either. But like you said, something worth keeping an eye on

The other thing to bear in mind is, I don't know when they were last changed, for all I know, they might still be the first set....actually, they prolly are....

Walked past the GAME store in Bluewater today.....nothing indicating any comp or anything setup for a comp, is it over already?

Fuelled with nothing other than V-Power. Funny you should mention running lean, Dixon reckoned it might be running rich, because when it was idleing, there were occasional pops of misfire.

Not that I know of. I havent fitted one, and don't know whether the previous owner did, but doubt it. Why you ask? Looking at the sparkies?

Looked pretty even, but getting new pads soon anyways to complement the discs....

Not Pizza my cholesterol endangered friend....just like two slices of bread, then something like a packet of Monster Munch inbetween, used to do that as a kid alot...

What happened to the good ol days where you'd put a packet of crisps as a sandwich filler.......

Got up early today to go to DMS in Erith to have my P3 service done. I thought I'd be thinking ahead and avoid all that commuter traffic on the M25, seeing that it's Monday and all. Then about 15 mins into the drive I remembered that it was a bank holiday, DOH! Arrived at DMS just before 9am.......was booked in for about 10:30, lol. Once everybody arrived, they didn't mess about and started my P3 straight away. On the ramp Ready for servicing... Ramp went up and engine oil was drained, oil filter was replaced, followed by the draining and replacing of the gearbox oil and lastly the differential oil was drained and replaced. Whilst this was going on I noticed two things.... First one was this I did question Dixon which of his mechanics had a preference to female underwear. To which he said that it was one of the mechanics GF's that had left the bag behind (whether that is the truth........who knows ) The second thing I noticed was this Upon closer inspection, it looked like a worthless package..... But it actually was a set of these for my car In the meantime, the mechanics had removed my sparkplugs. Dixon gave them an inspection and showed them to me. They were replaced with new NGK Platinum ones Then the new brake discs were to be fitted. Looked at the pad wear and it looked like wear was even on the inner and outer pad, and seeing that there was quite a bit of pad material left, I decided to keep them in and get some new Dixcel Z pads next month or so. Mmmmmmmm.....new discs.....shiney Before... After... Brakes were bled and everything was ok (Brake fluid was not replaced, because earlier this month I had DMS install HEL lines where all the old brake fluid had been drained and replaced with DOT 4 fluid) Then to finish a 4 wheel alignment chack was performed using the Hunter Hawkeye Laser Alignment System. It was kinda out, but nothing drastic or dangerous. As usual, DMS provided a great service and Dixon & crew were as helpful as always. Before remounting one of the front wheels the mechanic even asked me if I wanted to take a picture before he remounted the wheel, hehe. I did forget my service book, but Dixon just said to bring it in next time and he'll stamp it, funnily the speedo read 48K exactly, so at least that will be easy to remember, lol Thanks again to Dixon for doing this on a Bank Holiday. I don't reckon many places would do this. After my service, I decided to pop over to Bluewater for a spot of lunch. Found a nice empty row of parking spaces. Sat down at Yo! Sushi and started my collection of plates. 13 plates and four cups of green tea later.... And typically, I return to the Zed to find lots parked up next to me, but at least Bluewater has decent sized bays. I know which "Z" I prefer.... Drove home (via Dartford tunnel and a spot of noise pollution within... entered at 20mph and then mashed throttle to 50mph, slowed down to 20mph again, and repeat till tunnel end ) Once I got back, found a nice bit of deserted road and heat cycled the new discs. Stopping power has increased and is sharper, and that is with the OEM pad, can't wait till I put the Dixcel Z pads on later. All in all a great day for me, weather was nice too. Thank you for reading.

Envy Performance are a really good bunch of people, always helpful and don't mind going the extra mile to help out. Have had purchases from them and never disappointed

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.................................................

I'm going to mod my Debenhams special with some Abec 7 bearings and supersoft inline skate wheels, bet it will be quieter than yours I do have multi-directional wheels you know.... Amanda says hers has flowers on - so neerr - you lose But...but...but....ARGH!!!!!!!

That's one of the reasons I love this place

I'm going to mod my Debenhams special with some Abec 7 bearings and supersoft inline skate wheels, bet it will be quieter than yours I do have multi-directional wheels you know....

Rimowas are sexy imo, simple but striking design. I got a polycarbonate one, and the wheels on that are sooooo smooth, I just glide through airport lounges... It's like the Zed of suitcases, people always give it a look and sometimes a nod of approval. http://www.rimowa.com/main.php?country= ... N#products

This is the ONLY way the Chavs can drive the Zed Argh, not this chav crap again. BTW, I know from first hand experience that Jerry is a chavophobic

I love my Rimowa suitcase, but it's too big for the Zed, may have to purchase a smaller one....

On a serious note martin, is it possible to get bespoke luggage made up to fit the Zed? Like Rimowa do for Porsche or Louis Vuitton for Infiniti http://www.bornrich.org/entry/louis-vui ... ncept-car/

Is that with or without V.A.T.? Well, that's if they are in stock, otherwise it will have to be ordered specially from Japan, which will add a £250 courier charge with import tax still to be paid...

Next big thing is manbags with club logo on them.....or so I've been told........LOUIS!!!!!!!!!

ROFL....BJM.......BJ Master.....was driver female by anychance?

You just got to find the secret 3rd seat now No secret third seat, two cupholders for drinks, the other cupholder is actually for the tub of lubricant, incase your special ladyfriend is abit...errr....dry .............or turns out to be a bloke...

But remember folks, buy a K1 and the use becomes only visual

Hmmmm.....Lake Placid anyone?
