  6. preperation is key last night i lifted the wiper blades off the screen leaving them upright, with a wad of kitchen roll taped round the washer bit washers worked perfectly this morning however i forgot to put the back one back down this morning so its still up now
  7. Learn to "ghostride" the Zed. On my trip back from Germany to the UK, I got coaught in the worst of it and it took me 18 hours to get back. Stick the Zed in 1st or 2nd, then gently lift the clutch, no throttle, maybe feather the clutch till you start moving. Once moving, resist the urge to step on the throttle, just let the Zed "ghostride" itself thru the snow and ice. I am amazed that more people do not know about using 2nd gear in this whether. I was taught how to use the clutch while I was learning to drive. On my way to work the other day there was a M3 and I citroen stuck all trying to pull over on a hill in 1st! Suggested they used 2nd and no revs (or very little) and the pulled off fine…. agreed, the amount of people that have no clue instead of finance ads we should have "how to drive" tips on tv between programs.
  8. ah yes, i went and cooked my dinner at this point glad i only missed some dull then
  9. i thought it was entertaining enough not as good as it used to be but better than alot of trash on tv

  19. google "mercedes build quality" then
  20. i think this is a big win for the interweb generation
  21. no problem, cheers for the input. what about checking it when the clutch is being changed? is there a check that can be done to determine that the flywheel needs changed or how much life it has? maybe purchase one before hand and if it turns out the one in there is as good as new then just sell it on. If not i suppose i better add it to the bill, im not trying to be cheap, just sensible and informed now reading on my350
  22. my car has done 30k so my dual mass flywheel can potentially go at 40k? 10k before the clutch should go I know there are allot of variables, im only talking about a ball park figure. how many miles does an OEM DMF usually last? i understand and agree it is good engineering practice, but then the whole engine may or may not last so should i swap that now just incase? im not made of money and want to understand a sensible time frame (mileage) to get the flywheel changed?
  23. previous owner humped the clutch chris. like i said, what is the life expectancy of the flywheel? Ok so we know the clutch will be approx 50k. The flywheel? Has anyone's gone? 100k 150k 200k ?
  24. Maybe you are wrong However, if you need to swop out your fly and you don't fancy a single mass fly then I have a available NEW Genuine OEM dual mass flys at only £295.00 Over £1000.00 from Nissan but why am i wrong? i know its generally accepted here that when you change the clutch you change the flywheel, but when it comes to me shelling out money i just want to know why? my car has done 30k miles like many others, the clutch is on its way out. surely the OEM DMF will last far longer? how many peoples have actually gone and at what mileage. i ask as i want to know if its worth doing. Never said that you were wrong However it is worth doing why though? if they last 90k miles and my clutch goes every 30k surely i would be best doing it at 90k or to be safe 60k?
