My understanding is that it goes on the grooved side of the belt, to remove moisture and increase grip, like a gymnast / climbers hands.

That's what google gets me. I was goggling how to do the talc trick, and the online consensus seemed to be just put WD40 on for a quick fix. I do less than 4k a year so general wear and tear isn't as great a concern for me as some.

Oh man, I was looking forward to seeing how these fitted!

Yeah I know there is a very similar topic just below this one but... I have a squeak on start up only when its cold and it lasts for a few minutes. I had my belts changed in the autumn, so thought the squeak wouldn't reappear this winter. Well it has . Just wondering how I would diagnose if its a belt or pulley issue? I tried a squirt of WD40 onto the grooved side of the belts yesterday morning, and the squeak went away after 3-4 seconds of spray on each belt. It however came back when I next started it up. I thought the WD40 would last a few days/weeks at least. Was I wrong in thinking that? I might pop to Halfords and gets some proper silicone belt spray tomorrow. I was also going to try the belt tensioners tomorrow, but only if I can get my hand down past the radiator. Do I tighten (clockwise) or loosen (anti-clockwise) the nut to increase tension? How much of a turn should I be looking at to tighten them? I know that depends on how loose they are but am I looking at a small fraction of a rotation or couple of rotations. thanks

Did the mirror part survive? If it did I have a pair of cases for sale (inc motors etc). I broke my actual mirrors getting them out! The mirrors are crazy expensive on their own.

It helps to make the holes longer than they need to be, as this gives you some extra wiggle room.

I'll sell you my solution for £500...

I've got some LED rears to install and was thinking of tinting them. Should I go with paint/vinyl/fly eye? Any think I should watch out for? I'm going to tint them before putting them on my car. Are there any strict laws on the tint level?

I've got the same issue, it only makes a noise in the cold weather and only for a minute or two after start up. I've just had the belts changed. I would like to know more about this talc method! I can see trying to get the talc just on the grooved side of the belt would be an issue. Wouldn't WD40 do the trick.

The whole of the back is covered in 3M so once stuck on I would think they would match the curve of the b pillar.

I'm far from an expert but I've always been told you needed at least a 30 minute drive to recharge a battery. A low battery followed by a few sub 15 minute drives might leave it de charged? Have you tried a jump start?

I'm fairly sure the guy on here that re-trims steering wheels has re-shaped steering wheels for members. I remember someone having the bottom part of the wheel flattened out.

I was looking at getting the exact same wheels next year, but was put off by all the pictures of trucks sporting them! Interested to see how it looks on a silver Zed.

I'm just keep my Shell petrol station lego collection - is that good enough proof?

I got mine from Clark Motor Sport - £50. DE & Facelift/HR have different liners. DE Facelift/HR http://www.clarkmoto...ide/63845-CF40A DE http://www.clarkmoto...ide/63845-CD000 You'll probably want some of the body clips as well. http://www.clarkmoto...ner/63848-35F00

If you've got the space for a car sized one then you've pretty much got the space for a proper garage.

You on PS3 or PS4 then Randy? Nether really - I swapped to PC about 3 months ago and can't see any reason for me to go back to consoles until they drop significantly in price and I can pick one up on ebay for peanuts. But you never know if an exclusive game comes out that's amazing I might drop back onto console. The poorer graphics would be annoying though! Was just thinking about starting a Steam/Uplay thread.

It was the bolts that attach the CATs to the front part of the exhaust system. £60 - cheapest fix so far (except for the stubby).

cheers for the offer but as there is a garage on my road I've let them look at it as I didn't want to drive it in case it was something more serious. There first assessment after hearing it was the exhaust is blowing from somewhere near the front. So I'm expecting it to be from the manifold . I'll know more later today.

To not have a single unexpected garage bill?

No idea how old the exhaust is. The sound gets deeper towards the back of the car so would have thought it's an issue further forward than the back box, but not sure. This might spell the end for my zed career, its getting too expensive for the small amount of miles I do.
