Hmmmm... Where would one procure strips of sticky foam? Or are you applying the sticking agent to your foam yourself? Do fill me in heh

Do want very much! Would you take a non TT'ed 53 plate Zed GT and £1500 your way? lol same colour and everything

7k. I paid 8k for my 55k miler 2 months ago.. From a dealer but still! Nice price is that..

Sticking it on to the existing plate will be fine but look naff. But it sounds like those bolts have been cheesed. Get a titanium drill bit and go through the middle of them. Won't take long.

Hmm. I might be interested in such a thing...

If it's private land knock yourself out. lol.

335d is the best of both worlds. 30-40mpg, and with a remap considerably faster than the old Z. That is definitely where my money would be going if you can scrape 14k together. There are quite a few members cars coming up for sale on E90post which you could consider looking at rather than a randomer on PH, AT etc... http://www.e90post.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=22 To answer your other questions though: The 164bhp doesn't have a DPF and therefore if you remap it (I did. Got it up to 212bhp) it will smoke quite alot. Not so much a problem for you, just those behind you. The flip side is the 177: The DPF could fail. Incurring a bill of circa 1k to replace. Same applies to the rest of the diesels from 07 onwards. A plus for the 177 though is that it's got better looking exhausts; stop start technology and several other factors leading to significantly better mpg than the 164 and finally the turbo is much stronger. There is quite a precident now for the 164's mitsu turbo blowing prematurely (Har har). Dave

Abbey can supply the parts for around 600 but then you need to pay to get it fitted also. ZMANALEX can also supply the parts. you're looking at a bill of around £900 for your donuts

Going rate for an SE 320D from 05 is about 7k. 8200-8400 for an M Sport. Tops. 9k is too much. Trade in value for that car is only 6k. I just sold my highly modified 320d for 9k. It was listed for 8300 private sale but someone went for the bits and pieces bolted on too. If you have any specific questions let me know.

Wait. I assumed this was private sale until now. If the finance is not in THEIR NAME then they SHOULD NOT BE SELLING IT. The private owner should have settled the finance when handing it over to a trader. Why on earth is a trader selling a car with finance still on it. This is illegal. Steer clear. They are obviously idiots. Selling a car with outstanding finaince is normal practise. In fact I did this last week. But this only applies when its private sale. The private seller and dealer hsould have already resolved any outstanding finance. It is nothing to do with you.

It's just my opinion that momo gear is somewhat to the chav end of the spectrum.. I seem to remember a metallic pink bodykitted saxo that was fully laden with the stuff but can't find a topic to link now. As I said don't get me wrong it looks better than stock. It's just a brand I personally don't much like

Yeah I could try leaving it in gear. Nope, not tried disabling the ultrasonics yet. It's going to the dealers on Tues so I'll leave them to work it out I think! The thing is, it goes for days without doing it...then suddenly it went off twice last night. 4am wake up, awesome Ha, no! It's never been especially windy. What's even stranger is that last week there was TORRENTIAL rain one night, the hardest rain I've seen in ages. It woke us up, and it set a couple of car alarms off down the street....but not mine At least it's your car waking you up. Imagine what the neighbours must think Not helping I know...

Surely you put in the maximum you would pay, then if you win it, you win it for the lowest possible below that, and if it goes for more, you're not bothered. Why would anyone bid less than they're willing to pay, then moan about not winning it? Because they don't understand ebay. ...Or possibly basic grammar

The problem for me, is that momo is synonymous with saxo. but nevertheless an inprovement on stock. Now, if it said "Nismo" rather than "momo" I'd consider it myself Must. Resist. Urge. To. Mod...

I say do rear spoiler black, and front lip black. Do the rest red. Maybe consider black mirrors to match Will look insane :cool:

Eat less pies?

Sorry - dyslexia ... OK. Fair enough.

If you don't care about brands/performance I've got some cheap "triangle tyres" coming off soon. I think they are only about 70 new. They are nearly new and I'd only want 40 the pair plus shipping.

Very nice

Welcome chap!

OUT OF INTEREST are there before/after dyno's for the 286 with these 3 mods? It seems to be the three everyone suggests to go for so I guess this has been documented a few times?

I imagine Berks HFCs, plenum spacer and UpRev will be a combination I'll have to see you about in the not too distant future Mark. And haven't driven the zed for 2 weeks so the clutch hasn't exploded yet. But when it does...

pics don't appear to be loading now

lol... nicely done..

LOL I do 12 miles of stop start and average 14-15mph. Give it a boot from time to time. But still get 17.2 Are you SURE you men 2.8 and not 22.8? 2.8 is clearly an error. Software feck up, sensor issue or not yet properly calculated. Unless of course we have a simple case of PEBCAK here
