  1. P3 service although they ended up doing just the oil for 180. They gave it good going over including checking the other oil levels and importantly oil condition and told me everything was fine. I worked from a local cafe for a couple of hours whilst they did it.

  2. Just as an update and this might help others.....

     

    Found some useful guides and data on the US forum about which revision lock to buy. D or E as the c which I have is the most troublesome 

     

    used 1st choice spares and located two at circa £200 a go.

     

    however I was not convinced I needed a lock as the car would drive after hot wiring it to start.

     

    all the advice was to pull the fuse in ACC so I took it one step further and pulled the fuse with the car running and jobs done....it’s running on the button.

     

    will keep the paper clip and wire with the two croc clips in the glove box though!

  3. So the key light came on today and the dam car wouldn’t start until I did the shorting of the pink wire at the module. It got me home....so far so good. 

     

    Once home I tried to do the fuse pull fix as it looks pretty easy although fiddly.

     

    With the fuse box open, did the shorting of the pink wire and the car into ACC mode and pulled the fuse. Got a full house of lights and the auto stick moves but it still won’t start. 

     

    Gave up, put the fuse back in and locked the car only to find it wouldn’t un lock , mild panic but the boot opened which released the doors. 

     

    Reset it by shorting the pink wire and starting it, phew and now we’re are back to it won’t start but at least I can open and lock the doors.

     

    i deffo pulled fuse 4....

     

    what am am I doing wrong?

     

    least it’s not my only car so not stranded.

     

    help!

  4. Will need to get the Z serviced in the next month....it’s beeb to Abby Motor sport for the last few years with the previous owner, whilst I like the idea of keeping this up it’s a bit of a trip...

     

    is is there a good and similar specialist nearer to Herts?

     

    so far not found anyone yet

  5. I need 4 new tyres but finding a single place with matching fronts and rears seems a problem, black circle and Asda. Seems I can get MPS4-S for the rear and MPS4 for the front.

     

    Would this be ok? Also I see other posts mention super sport but can’t find these.

     

    The existing rears are 285 and the previous owner said they filled the arches better but does 5mm really make that much difference?

     

    Are GY Eagle f1 an option, they seem to have a much lower noise rating and have gained an evo mag award.

     

    sorry if they are dumb questions......

     

    existing tyres are conti’s

     

    i doubt I’ll be tracking.

     

    cheers
