  1. I beleive it to be O2 sensor Heater, not Heather. That might make it a bit easier to work out whats wrong
  2. Doesnt sound good mate, I had the same problem. I changed my discs a month or so back and it got rid of my vibration. Chances are if bedding them in again doesnt get rid of it they you may have warped them or more likely DTV (disc thickness variation). Check out this page on Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_brake ... mage_modes - its quite good at explaining it. In my case I beleive Nissan incorrectly fitted one of my pads which meant it wasnt free to move and instead held against the disc slightly too much and caused it to either warp or get DTV. I could send you my discs but they are shot, so no use to you! The best option is to visit a good local garage and ask them to measure the disc runout and see whats up.
  3. Bah, lightweights, I'm on 74k now Get out and drive all you girlies, its what the cars for!
  4. OK so hes not mine, but my mums, but I helped pick him Name: Inky (the destroyer!) Make: K9 Model: Manchester Terrier Age: nearly 3yrs Likes: Running and anything edible, and chewing (detroying) anything he can get his teeth into Dislikes: Water, animals on TV, being ignored!
  5. The question then is if UpRev even supports it, or if it is a different ECU all together. If it does, happy days, we can rip off what Nismo have done and copy their map
  6. Looking good, if a little wonkey. Is it definately in the exhaust hanger properly? If it is take it to the local exhaust place/garage and have them "tweak" it. Usually you can heat up the hanger and bend it to the right position so it sits straight
  7. What revs can you take an 276HP model up to?
  8. Lovely looking car - what a bargin WRT the wheels, I dont use any wheel cleaner on mine. As you are OCD like me, take the wheels off and clean them (wash, claybar etc) and then seal them with wheel sealant. Somthing like Poorboys. Do a good 4-5 coats. From then on, just wash them with normal water and car shampoo and an old wash mitt. Wont ever do any damage to them then
  9. Id rather eat my own face than have that kit anywhere near my car I'm tempted to buy the kit and fit it to Ians car just to see him eat his own face
  10. Treat him to a KFC! Aye, hes easily pleased. B&B with some KFC to eat and UFC on the telly
  11. I would expect if you call them with the ref number, they should be able to sort it out on the phone, no need to wait for the letter
  12. I'd call ahead. If they dont know you are coming, it might be packed away somewhere. I've had that with Citylink before and had to come back later when they had fished it out.
  13. Don't forget though the big crisis comes around 60 Or in Jays case, just before 30 with his Aston (god I'm so jealous! )
  14. Indeed its a bit of a lottery. They can mark it as a gift or low value item, so no charges, but it means if something happens in transit and its lost/damaged, you cant claim for it - or not the full amount anyway. Chances are they wont have tried to deliver it, just the US system cant handle it past it being "delivered" to the UK. The other one says you have charges to pay, which usually means they will contact you and take payment. With UPS they had my mobile number, so called me and took payment over the phone. If they dont have contact details, I beleive they send a letter asking for payment to the delivery address and once that is cleared they release the parcel. I think you can have it delivered to the local post office and pay for it there. Not 100% sure thats the case though.
  15. Should be able to get them to redeliver it or forward it to your local post office then
  16. My guess is that they will use Royal Mail then. What is the format of the tracking number? When I order stuff from HK and it comes via their eqivelant to RM, I can use their site, then when it hits the UK can use RM site to track it. E.g. AA 9999 9999 9AA
  17. Chances are they will use RM over here if its come from USPS. Who has sent it over? Best bet is to contact the seller and find out what service was used. If it was Adam then he uses UPS which are very good for tracking etc.
  18. I have a 2003 (53) with plenum spacer, popcharger and Nismo exhaust if you are interested. Not sure when you'd need the car and how long for, but I can do weekends. Let me know the details, as I'm interested I assume you'll need a few cars to see what the working range of these things are anyway (i.e. not all cars with the same mods behave the same).
  19. that would be very cool has it been done before? yes indeed its the club salute - Bit like the Red arrows but with Zeds! Halfway down the page and more after in the thread - viewtopic.php?f=19&t=15896&start=90
  20. yeah by the skin of your teeth! 2 more years and ill be thirty...oh why lord!!!! how can you be so cruel!!!!! Where did the years go?!?!?!? Such a hard life having an Aston before you're 30
