76  and shot everything not just knees, swapped my 370 for an F Type not ready to grow up yet.

Thank you , yes it took me a long time to find it as I’m very fussy. It’s only on this forum for now but I know I need 

to bite the bullet soon and eBay it etc 

One of those “ I don’t want it to go but know it has to “ kind of things. 

A Peugeot Partner van unfortunately. Will be very sad to see her go but at 53

and shot knees it’s finally time. Have loved every minute of the Z journey it has to be said. For me still one of the best looking affordable cars out there. Always turns heads and gets

people commenting. Same can’t be said for the van of course .

Pearl white metallic , 82k with full service history , manual , drives perfect , unmarked alloys , private plate to stay with car , completely standard apart from new exhaust tips ( sounds great and not too loud ) very reluctant sale , age has got the better of me unfortunately. 
Looking for 12k 

Kind Regards 

Colin 

2 side skirts in gunmetal grey. Free to anyone who can collect from RM17. Won’t post so please don’t ask. Will throw away if not collected this week.

Regards Colin 

Hi

I’m not sure to be honest but I think the bore is bigger on the cobra than standard. Maybe someone else can confirm?

Regards

I purchased Malian short tips from eBay new and had no issues whatsoever. Yes they stick out slightly further however the fit was perfect and the sound in my opinion is great. For just over £200 I’m very happy compared to prices for other makes.

Headlights sold , side skirts and cobra mid pipe still available.

Hi yes if you can collect that’s fine. I can be contacted on 07538072351 if you need any more details.

All still for sale. Collection only please.

Small job to bore scope.

 

Much bigger job to replace the head or the bad valve.

 

Hi Alex

could it be a stuck open exhaust valve and if so anyway to unstick with head on car ? Would I see anything with valve cover off turning over engine that might give me an idea ? Is it worth running a decoke fluid through oil do you think? Car still runs albeit poorly due to zero compression on cylinder 4.
regards Colin 

If it was that Alex how big a job is this for a diy person? I recently changed valve covers etc but cylinder heads are a different league I guess. Would I be best fitting a used head Cost wise mate ? Any idea on cost ? 
thanks for quick reply btw 

Hi guys 

2004DE with 98k. Sudden bad misfire with code reader suggesting cylinder 4. Today I completed compression test. 5 cylinders were all 150psi however cylinder 4 had nothing.  No reading at all. I would of expected something if worn rings ? Would a valve issue cause zero compression ? Any help much appreciated.

cheers Colin
 

Hi 

Me again. Do you still have the side skirts ? I’m off tomorrow and thinking about driving up and collecting if possible.Are you about tomorrow? 
regards Colin

Ahhh shame. Too far away from me to collect. I’m Thurrock Essex. Wouldn’t know how much to deliver I guess mate ? 

Hi

Where are you based and what condition is the driver side skirt please ? Are they WV2 gunmetal ? 
regards Colin

They’re decent enough tbh, certainly a solid mid-range option. I’d be happy to run them, put it that way. 

Thanks Dan. If they good enough for you then that’s a thumbs up for me. Appreciate your input.

The MO will be a slightly different compound to a regular one, but not so much as you’d notice. I’ve tried identical tyres in both N-spec (Porsche OE) and non N-spec, and I couldn’t tell any difference whatsoever. 

Thanks for the reply Dan. Any thoughts on the tyres please ? I know their not Michelin but my budget won’t stretch  that far. Currently running potenza re50 all round and to be honest I don’t like them personally. Very hard ride and like a shopping trolley in the wet. Fronts need changing but don’t want to mix axles hence I have a chance for 4 nearly new Hankooks.

Any advice much appreciated 

Hi guys 

I have the chance to purchase a nearly new set of Hankook Ventus v12 evo2 tyres cheap from a friend. They are marked MO ( Mercedes Original ) 

Question 1. Anyone have any experience with running these on a 350 ? 
Question 2. Is the MO an issue or are they the same as standard just stamped for Mercedes benefit ? 

Regards 

Ordered from Torqen . Mods please remove.

Hi

Anyone selling a D1 spec throttle controller ?
