.. What he said ^^ 😊

Welcome to the forum.

I didn't even bother getting my bike MOT'd this year... As in I didn't ride it, rather than couldn't be bothered to get one. I don't like the way rain sits on the boot, no real reason why, it just annoys me.

First class idiots..

Well I got this "we missed you card" from them yesterday!

Bollocks just noticed this thread is quite old.. My bad.

Bloody hell, when I started reading this thread I didn't realise what I was getting myself in for. Any who glad you're alright, shame about the car, everyone makes mistakes but it helps if we can limit those mistakes to places without lamp posts or other roadside furniture Edit: or people can't forgot the people. Good luck sorting out a new Zed!

Bargain.. I would be all over this had the requirement for new tyres be not be looming "waa"

Looks like a nice motor, mines tatty so glad it's sorted would have been a shame otherwise.. FYI my pressure is the same when the engine is at temp on Idle.

I don't mind the vents but I have other priorities unfortunately..

Boo to growing up!! Lovely car mate, bummer you have to get rid to get a place, good luck with the sale... I kinda did mine the other way around - got the house/flat first then had no money to buy the Zed

Rownhams to Portsmouth M3 and M27 is a frequent target for Traffic Police.

Yeah, same, mines rusting through so got a quote to cut, weld and spray. Will be treating once a year with anti rust from then on as suggested.

Drove past a black 350z yesterday in Eastleigh prob about 8pm. Driver gave me a wave, I was a bit slow to react and mustered up a thumb in time.

Nice, if I had the cash spare I'd be interested as mine are a little tired but I don't therefore I can only say good luck.

Okay thanks Mouthwash I kinda work that way.. Sent you a PM for more details.

Thanks buster, I will bear that in mind 😊

Thanks, I would cover the cost of the postage. Hopefully someone closer will be of assistance - otherwise your offer will be very much appreciated!

Hi, Trying to get to the bottom of my P0300 code/random misfire. was wondering if there was anyone in the Chichester/Emsworth/Portsmouth area who's MAF I can borrow for a test drive they're welcome to join me for the ride of course so they're sure I don't just drive off with it, probably only need for 15/20 mins. Also I'm running out of idea's as "hobby mechanic" so if anyone knows a local expert with parts etc.. let me know as I might be wanting of of those soon, I'd take it to H-Dev but I don't want to drive the 65 miles with a intermittent misfire which is probably killing my Cat's (tends to give a flashing EML). I was pretty bad but has improved since I got my injectors reconditioned but I also cleaned my MAF again so unsure which has made the improvement. - Thanks.

Another 5 star service provided by Adrian this time for a Torqen branded stainless undertray. Although it might be a while before I get the chance to fit it, the quality looks spot on. Thanks again :-) I see there's a clutch thread, and as mine is on the way out I'm sure I will be back soon!

Well do appreciate those who made suggestions as it saved me waiting for the tool I bought Ha, good thing you probably wont be then ;-) Anywho's thanks again.

anyway... after about 45mins and enough force to bend the loop out of the skewer.. You can all go find someone else to pester!

lol... Maybe my message reads like I am crying in a hedge somewhere or something or totally retarded when it comes to engines which neither are technically true depending on what makes you qualify for "non-retardedness". When I say panic, this guess this was intended more as frustration, I supposed I forgot how it would read, the plugs are only 20k old so I didn't really need to change them but felt I should as I was there and had some handy but that has now taken as long as taking and putting the rocker covers back on which probably why i'm miffed. I am sure it will come out, and I was using a metal rod to try and hook it out but it kept bending the hook and it eventually snapped, I hadn't thought of using a welding rod or even the skewer so I will give that a go tomorrow as they are likely to be a little stronger, thanks for that.. which was my reason ultimately for coming on here. I do find the comments amusing though and feel as if this thread has got a little crazy - must have been the sun today. changing the title would be funny too, and I wouldn't mind as ultimately I have the suggestions that I came here for.

C'mon guys it's just had its rocker seals done :-) On serious note though it does look like the rubber has gone over the hex part of the plug.

I tried to use the tool, but the rubber part is now stopping the plug from getting all the way down over the actual hex part... edit: anyway after returning to my flat and being able to use the internet properly I am less worried, just more annoyed as I wanted to have this sorted today. bit of a panic post probably
