  1. I'm gonna clean my air filter and clean the maf. I got some maf cleaner any idea on how to use it.
  2. aircon on or off Air con off. It's like every 5 or so seconds it's missfiring or about to stall and it goes down then up.
  3. Not sure about the OP. I'm using tesco 99. My car isn't bad at roundabouts just idle.
  4. My car does this also.
  5. How would it? Drawing less current is safer than drawing more. I would be careful with those led bulbs, its unclear from the picture or listing that they have a resistor built into them which. I have seen on some ebay adds the following where the LEDs dont have a built in resistor DUE TO THE REDUCED RESISTANCE IN LED BULBS CERTAIN CARS MAY REQUIRE A RESISTOR TO BE INSTALLED WHICH WILL THEN ALLOW THE BULBS TO SIMULATE THE SAME RESISTANCE AS YOUR STANDARD FILAMENT BULBS. A SMALL ADDITIONAL PRICE TO PAY TO ACHIEVE THE LOOK THAT THESE BULBS WILL PRODUCE! here you can see ones for the Zed with the resistor built in. http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/501-le ... rch=c14858 i would be more concerned if the sidelights without the resistors have an adverse effect on the bcm or ecu.
  6. Octane booster might be handy for people going on trips where 99 isn't gauranteed.
  7. +1 in fancier cars they need to show a drain on voltage or amps. If it doesn't it shows up that the bulb isn't working even though the led is but it draws much less.

  8. might do this on my car soon
  9. You not read the bit under the picture? Imagine you bought a car and received no support if you was rich enough the mere fact its posted on here means its damaged lambo image. Good on him IMO.
  10. There is a few ways. You could lock the fly wheel. Or you could put it in 6th to crack the pulley bolt. Or you could use a strap wrench in one direction and a breaker bar in the other. Some people use a "cheater" bar. They jam the breaker bar on the floor and start the engine to crack it. Check out the US sites for more info.
  11. Nah. They are 20's and my uncle had them on his 7. Even 20's looked lost on that car.
  12. The guy did some donuts. Ruined his clutch which aren't the best anyway and everyone gets on their high horse. What if the car park was completely empty no one there and it was safe to do donuts. Yeah it's abit silly but it doesn't make him a bad driver. Same thing when that guys engine blew a few people couldn't say ahh shame no the high horse was being ridden.
  13. Often CF bonnets are heavier than our stock aluminium bonnets. Anyone who's had the bonnet off will be aware of this. Didn't know that. A friend had a carbon boot (not 350) that was very light so I assumed the same.
  14. Sounds like your clutch.

  16. Rota's are light compared to alot of stuff but 19's are going to be much heavier unless forged then your talking big money usually. You could remove all the stuff you want but heavier wheels will usually make more a difference. Doesnt sound like you want to strip your car but if you do. Carbon boot, carbon bonnet. Take out stereo and speakers. Remove all sound deadening. seats weight a ton. all plastics and odds and sods. then you will be left with a car you probably dont want to drive and it will still be heavy as hell.
  17. there is a guy running 7 series wheels and that looks the shiz.
  18. wow! usually ragtop zeds look horrbile but thats probably the nicest ive seen by far
  19. Do you even have a zed?
  20. I like the valeo silencio xtreme. Silicone blade but much cheaper than PIAA.
  21. Make sure you keep it to the track too. We've had far too many people stick it in a hedge/kerb/ditch/tree (delete as appropriate) who thought they could handle the car. Not saying you cant, but not on the roads please Who? Dont like to name names, but not all incidents have been reported on the open forum - its not uncommon for members end up writing off their cars and move on One of the most widely known incidents was on the way back from a Wales run. Fortunately no one was hurt but the car didnt look good afer is spun and hit a kerb. This was on drying roads.
