Because "flat broke" means flat effing broke

Gates belts, sent CS a message and he'll sort you out. Lightweight pulleys can be got from Tarmac I believe, but make sure you read up on the advantages and disadvantages of them before deciding if you want/need them

Glad you're enjoying it

^^^ There is A LOT of room in the footwell due to being no back seats, so you could easily have a medium (husky or lab size) in there with a passenger and the seat fully back.

Hope you have a good clear year, mate, then you'll be back in your Zed in no time As you mentioned, plenty of time to tinker and get things done to it that you've been meaning too As for he insurance, can you phone them and see if fire and theft is any cheaper as you have no need for fully comp?

Usually they offer you £30 when you deposit £10 as a new customer, this is just the same thing except it makes you feel like you're winning, very clever actually

Have you tried the drivers side in the pax side?

It'll be much easier if you can give us a link to the car if there is one If it has facelift front lights and not rears, then I'm certain its had a knock. It's also weird that it has Bose but no leather as those options were not available separate…

Make sure you go over some rough ground and/or speed bumps and listen for knocks and squeaks. That will indicate it may need new banana arm bushes and/or drop links.

Just get some 6000k ones and you'll be happy

I paid £100 to Abbey for my LEDS.

One owner from new is only good if he's looked after it. He spent 30k on the car then leaves it laying around because of a dodgy starter? I think it's a bit dodgy because surely you'd just put a new starter in it and carry on? So this leads me to believe that there's more wrong than just that.

I don't know, hence why I asked the question. I have googled it, apparently black is better: Fact? It's been said that black is actually the best color for dissipating heat from the engine. This statement is true, here's why: The reason black paint dissipates heat more than any other color is that black is the most capably dissipative color for infra-red (heat) wavelengths. As we all know, back is very absorbent when energy rays (visible AND invisible) such as sunlight hit it. It is also able to cast off the most heat energy, all of its radiation being in the infra-red part of the energy wavelength spectrum. Single colors tend to focus their ability to both absorb AND dissipate in the wavelength of their color, and far less in the infra-red compared to black. One last thing about black: It absorbs energy better than it dissipates it, which is likely why the effect of black dissipating heat is less known. Also, since it absorbs far better than it dissipates (as do all colors), it has a net gain, for example when your black car sits in the sun, until an equilibrium is reached depending on the heated body's ability to be cooled (like with a fender or hood, by the surrounding air). The ambient temperature of the air around the black fender keeps it from heating beyond a certain range. I hope this helps explain the "I don't know why" of black paint being a better cooler for engines. The effect won't be much, and might not even be noticeable unless closely monitored, but it is a fact. Black radiates heat in the infra-red spectrum better than other colors, which tend to "specialize" by radiating less efficiently in the infra-red and more in just their color portion of the spectrum." So, black really is the fastest colour

Can't really put more powerful bulbs in because of how HIDs work. You can change the colour temperature of them, however.

Your bushes are burnt out and when we get a little heat here it gets very humid and thats what kills the motor for a few hours until it cools down. You can either rip out the motor and put a new one in, or you can rip it out, rip it apart and clean it out with contact cleaner.

Won't fit, they're only 18mm thick, OEM are 30mm.

It's a disaster right now, taking 2-3 minutes to open a thread or go into a sub menu. Forum index comes up quick, though.

What about mounting it on the rear strut bar?

Look through the link and pick what you want, then post a thread in the "wanted" section and someone will help you out

I just chucked my old on in the bin, should've refurbed it and sold it on If you want to have a go theres a thread on it, it's really not that hard. Just need some contact cleaner from Halfords if the bushes aren't too worn.

Yes, but then the tread of the tyre will be sticking outside the arch. Might be worth PMing CS or Clarks who will have discs handy to measure for you and could almost certainly get you what you need

So, there's still one available on the way?

Car looks fine, why you changing stuff? Taste?

Message Clarks Motorsport if you want new LEDs
