Unfortunately the exchange rate between southern pounds and Geordie pounds isn't very favourable. It's probably cheaper for me to do a 1000 ml round trip and stay overnight rather than have a very expensive engineer do the same. Also I don't think you southern softies could handle the women up here. Cos if you happened to go to the "Toon" for a bevy while your here and they found out your a well endowed (financially speaking) southerner with loads of dosh (as we poor people up here know you all have) they'll be after your body faster than you can say .....UPREV . Now lets face it......who would want to endure all that for the sake of tuning my car?

Oops it's a 2004 car

Bit of advice to save me some work please. Can anyone tell me if the windows lock switch on the drivers door arm rest panel is supposed to light up when side lights on. Mines doesn't and I cant remember if theres a lamp behind it or not. Cheers

Thanks Mark, I only wish I lived closer to Abbey. Reading feedback from satisfied customers and the useful feedback from your company always inspires confidence and demonstrates a professional company. Any chance you could move up to Newcastle please ?í ½í¸‰

Cheers young man. I thought I had read somewhere on the forum that only the upgrade cars could have selectable mapping from the controlled by the stability control switch ?

I've got a 2004 de engine and was wondering what you can you ask for in the way of tuning options or is the UPREV a set package. Typically I've read you can have.. Limits removed from 1st, 2nd, & 3rd Max speed limit removed Tune to run lean ( to ensure good mpg) Can you make the map selectable to say keep the original settings then flip a switch for the UPREV settings. Any others you know of

I used to believe there were only two reasons why people spent money on a private plate 1) to hide the age of the car from the neighbours 2) if a name plate like say TOM .... Then they were sad people who should get out more often. BUT now I believe there's a third reason 3) and that is it adds something to certain cars typically sports cars. Still believe item 1) & more so item 2) but if its a sports car then it's ok

To late ordered some from Amazon. The led side lights I have at the moment (bought from ebay a couple of years ago ) have started to flash Hope these are brighter and less blue (also hope the short cut below works) http://www.amazon.co.uk/LED-SIDE-LIGHTS-Perfect-Standard/dp/B0053XXCWM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1352486670&sr=8-3

Anyone recommend one that bright looks white And where to buy? Would appreciate your advice. Cheers

Know what, they look best in silver ! SORRY but they do

Mine does that sometimes. If it's not tensioners any idea what causes it?

No pre facelift. I know what you mean but I feel the reflectors look better lit up than just as reflectors. I experimented by modifying mine ( see Lazy Mans DRL's ...author Hesketh) don't know how to post the short cut! Here's my attempt...viewtopic.php?f=9&t=63469&hilit=DRL%27s They look quite bright on the pictures but look a little blue in daylight

Found these, there supposed to be used on the audi Osram Advanced Power TopLEDs Type LUW G5GP Color ultra white http://www.mouser.com/osrampowertopled/

So long as he doesn't open his mouth hell be all right and hell still be able to contribute when he gets back ( lucky buggar) cheers

Anyone have any idea what type of led's they use on the likes of merc/mondo/ others for their daytime running lights. I modded my front reflectors to act as DRL's but they don't look anywhere  near as bright as the modern DRL's fitted to new cars

Yeah I was aware of that but if they want Z insurance punters there going to have to do better and sign up suitable Ins Co's! ( or maybe they don't want Zedies , or maybe it's cos I'm a wrinkly or maybe it's cos I'm a Geordie or maybe they think I'm too good looking, or maybe.......)

I can't understand the wide variations with this company? Some guys on here seem to have got a decent deal and recommend them I've been quoted £355 from More Than but will check out ensure straight away

That's encouraging DannyBoy ....307bhp. Living in Surry I suppose you used Abbey I'm closer to Leeds so would have to use RS. I wonder how much the final results of the tune depend upon the operator who does it or do you know if the tuning procedure is pretty fool proof and any operator will achieve similar results?

I understand the more miles the engine does the more horses leave the stable so is an uprev still worth it? I've had the car 8 yrs now and still waiting for the original exhaust to die before committing to a new st st one then the tune ( yes i am a bit mean ) Have I left it to late to achieve the optimum results.

Not to impressed with sky insurance. Rang for a quote only to be told they couldn't quote and to try again next year ! I'm an old fart of 65 as is my only named driver,the wife. Neither of us have any points and she had one fault claim in 2011 when she reversed off the drive and into a neighbours car ( first claim in around 20yrs). I've got 12 yrs no claims and the most exotic mod on the car are wheel spacers. Can't understand what more they want to enable them to quote I'm afraid I won't be calling them ever again PS I should have said the wife was driving her own car at the time and not the Z

A bit late I know, but I fitted Iridium plugs cos my research seemed to suggest they were best

My drivers side has a wind deflection gizmo on it, do these come with that on? Can't tell from picture

Those under tray bolts and clips are a bloody pain in the bum. I cant understand their thinking (that's assuming they were) using steel bolts and clips mounted on plastic parts in an area exposed to the elements and needing to be removed regularly for maintenance! Most of mine were damaged during garage servicing and they used ty wraps to hold bits together on completion. I've since renewed them all, some needing to be drilled out, and plastered them with grease.

I've seen these on offer before and didn't know what they were for, pguess what "I do now" I'll look a little closer at you project Wasso and if poss will have a go
