Yes had mine changed about 18 months ago after a pheasant decided to play chicken. The only problem I had was with one of the wiper water jet connections which had its pipe removed to gain access. The guy came in to tell me that he had noticed the mine was cracked, which it was when I looked but I'm 100% sure he must have done it while working on the car. I couldn't prove it so took it on the chin. No subsequent probs though....oh and the fitting compound used leaves a nice new car smell when complete. Been thinking of buying a tube and secreting a dollop somewhere in the car to keep the smell going.

I replaced mine with these and there fine, no probs

A bit of info that may be of interest. My batt was flat after a few days so measured the drain while standing with the alarm activated at 0.7A I believe the standard batt is 52A/hr therefore a fully charged batt will be flat in 74 hrs, not very long

Thanks Hooch I'll order the Mexiscan then cos I can't be bothered with these software driven things, they always give me grief!

ENJOY!

I'm confused (goes with getting on a bit) so the £4.90 OBD2 needs additional software to Bluetooth with my iPad , but the maxiscan mx309 works just by plugging it in and reading off the code? Is that right.

Anyone recommend a decent one?

Cheers young man....your on my Xmas card list now!

Bugger that was quick!! Thanks Is that for all of them?

Before getting the car off the ground can anyone quickly tell me what the gear box and diff drain and fill plugs are like. Are they nuts, Torx, Allen key? Looked in the manual and it only indictes torque settings. I'd hate to get it up on a bank hol and find I haven't got the right gear

I just masked up my Z badge then sprayed. Good finish and no probs!

If you wouldn't mind, could someone explain what the fuel damper does for it living. I've looked at the manual which shows it in the fuel line before the injectors but can't find any other reference to it. Is it there to smooth out the pulses of fuel to the injectors because of the nature of the fuel pump operation?

Came across this a while ago.............still laughing ....sad, sad man

Good job there were no sea gulls roosting in that tree as well. Think yourself lucky !

I watched the video, didn't understand a word he said.... :scare: Divint worrie kidda he's takin geordie t ya. It's easy to understand if you've lived around here for two or three decades. He's quite posh by some standards

For the North East guys.......Just been speaking to the guy who runs Revline in Whitley Bay (tel:0191 2517904) he'd be ok offering a small discount if he can get a few people interested. He's also got a clip on YouTube if your interested

WOW.....There isn't a prize you know and were all really impressed at the former number anyway! When it does eventually yield to the inevitable we should have a plinth made for it like on top gear or maybe a medal for the sterling service it gave, like the medels they give to those sniffer dogs the army have to sniff out explosives for service above and beyond LOL, to be fair, it has started to judder a little every so often. Perhaps it's due a change. Be kind to it when it does finally let go. Maybe you could bury it in the back garden with a little Plaque (if the wife will let you of course) A lot of people know about it now and word will spread all over the land about this heroic clutch, nd people will travel from far and wide to be close to it and will sing lamentable songs beside its resting place and shed lots of tears as well , sob sob...................you'll make a few bob as well to help pay for the new one .......ha ha ha Mind you if it lets go while your driving in the back of beyond and it's peeing down and you've got no rain coat or umbrella and you forgot to take your RAC card and mobile then just chuck it in the bin, the ungrateful little sod!!

£126 in Whitley Bay for the North east guys!

So in this nail biting competition the main contenders to date are...........OBLIGATORY SILENCE......... Mr BOCKAAARCK with the highest clutch life of 114k (assuming CS client doest come forward to claim his 115k) AND Mr KEYSER with the lowest (and as it happens the deepest pockets) at 19.4k (again assuming CS client doesn't claim his 14k mls) unless we have members who know different!

Sounds sensible to me!

With my 65k the clutch pedal doesn't seem to have changed its bite point at all as far as I can tell

I've been making preparations for a clutch change at my 65k but glad I posted this now cos I feel I can relax a bit after the revelations posted. Keep them coming, this getting interesting

Hang on , what about CS input above some guy managed only 14k. Have to admit though that 19k is pretty good going and unless we can put a name to the guy who CS refers to you are defo in the lead for hairiest driver!

This is getting unbelievable cos I never thought 114k and above was achievable. I was thinking 40k to 50 k was normal. This is getting interesting now!
