    Shame on you.

    Well if he was i would like to add. 3. Taking up a pump while doing your shopping!
  2. 1. No super on that pump. 2. Your cars boggin! (ok fair cop i only washed mine yesterday for first in a couple of weeks )
  3. Biting point suddenly just off the floor, above the bite point the pedal movement is very light, it's not stuck to the floor like I'd expect. Plenty of fluid, not slipping, selecting gears ok. Pedal feels totally normal in neutral. A couple of times last week I got the sense the bite was maybe inconsistent. Thought it was just my poor clutch control. Any ideas? 45k on the car, no problems with slipping etc.

    Failed MOT!!!

    First option would be have a wee look underneath and see if there are cats in there. If you're not sure what you're looking do you know the guy you bought it from? is there anything in the service hx or receipts for new cats? If the car was on standard cats it would be less likely to be a problem for MOT.

    Why did you need spacers? Are you using hi flow cat or decat pipes?
  6. One them actually did, thought it'd look a bit uneven on the zed tho! If it had been anything other than dust caps if have set them to get their parents but sure they're only kids, hopefully the embarrassment was enough an they'll not feel so put out that I get my car egged or something. Funny thing is I distinctly remember getting a clip round the head for hiding behind/under some guys car when I was a kid playing hide and seek!
  7. Okay a few months ago I ranted about the lack of respect shown to my car, door dings and the like, some wee scabs steeling my nice shiny dust caps. I got over it quick enough replaced and repaired and forgot all about it. Almost :-p I came home this afternoon in the mrs car and caught the wee beggars in the act trying to get the dust caps again today! They legged it when I came round the corner and left their bikes, which obviously I took inside until they came back a little red faced and apologised. Honestly if I wasn't trying not to laugh so hard I woulda been annoyed but couldn't really give them too hard a time they were about 12 lol. So hopefully if I got the balance right my next rant wont be about my car being keyed!
  8. Top up ASAP, Why does the light come on late though, surely car manifacturers could make a sensor that comes on when you need it without being so low you'll do damage?
  9. It'll be grand once I get out for a drive I'll forget about it, the shape of the doors doesn't help but even so it's not hard to get out of your car without touching the car next especially if its parked right on the end of a row to give you lots of room as mine nearly always is! As for the valve caps, I'll keep an eye out for the local kids with nice shiny ones on their bikes
  10. In the last 6 weeks I've had my door dinged twice, my front wing scuffed (all after i left her in for a paint correction) and someone has now stolen my valve caps. I'm really feel like not washing it any more as I just seem to find another new mark every time I do. Never had this with the impreza, what's wrong with people! If I didn't enjoy driving her so much I'd buy a shed instead!
  11. Agree with the above, have to say though i loved mine (a facelift classic), it was big, ignorant, sounded great and could be packed to the gills with camping gear, climbing gear and a kayak and push on pretty well. If you want to tune it's good value for power too. The interior definitely wasn't the reason I bought it, but actually wouldn't put me off another. Horses for courses. I'm still happier in the zed for now!
  12. I had a wrx impreza before my zed. Both stock engines. The wrx feels a little quicker off the line, you miss the turbo noise too. Both cars I find very similar performance 60 but the zed pulls away after that and the whole thing is silky smooth.. I find a big difference in the feel of the whole driving experience too. I don't want to thrash my zed. It's a fast gt car and I use the power when needed and enjoy the ride. The impreza just wanted to be driven all the time and I often felt a bit fried when I arrived at the end of a drive. Also I'm not an outstanding driver, the impreza could be driven fast by anyone where the zed needs a little more respect. It's taught me a lot about driving. 18 months later I don't regret changing for a second, though if I had the money I would definitely Look at FI again.
  13. Sorry to hear this. Hopefully he recovers and you can finish it together.

    Tyre availability

    All sorted, Conti's now fitted, haven't had the weather for anything very spirited but road noise seems a little better and so far they've been sure-footed despite the state of the roads here!
