  1. Do ski's fit in a zed? Or are they going on the roof!?
  2. Try ollowing SteveW's guide to repair a faulty motor.
  3. Power/Standard/Snow are the options on the switch you are talking about. Power alledgedly keeps the car in gear longer when in full auto mode.
  4. Prison, and then ass rape.
  5. Noooooooo i hate change!!!! ...although i said that last time the forum was upgraded and look how well that turned out!
  6. Not a fan of the fiery stuff, and last night i made the mistake of a terrible sugar free ginger beer. However i should point out that i am in no way an alcohol connoisseur, it's always Tesco Value range for me, so my alcohol reviews arent worth reading!
  7. ...so i read this thread last night and read the post about the ginger beer and lime drink. It sounded really refreshing! Im normally a Vodka and ginger beer drinker, or white rum and diet coke - however we've got some Havana Club left over from a party so i tried that with some ginger beer last night... and it was rank ...i've got to say, i really dont like any other rum than white rum.
  8. Really liking that. I'd be tempted to do them in anthracite, and possibly smooth in the groove on the spokes, but eitherway, looking mint.
  9. No worries, hope it works for you.
  10. Pics of the 63 when you get it please.
  11. Here you go: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=27472&hilit=throttle
  12. Try doing an ECU reset, and the throttle position re-learning procedure. Both can be found in the guides section.
  13. Match the one with the other 3... they look ace Also, one of these would go well in your engine bay: viewtopic.php?f=166&t=66167&start=0
  14. Can you rent one? £100 seems steep. Im with the above though, i've only ever separated them with a fork and a big hammer.
  15. That looks ace, but that looks more like an anodized finish which might be difficult. Not sure it would look as good with a regular paint finish. ...think the car needs something though... maybe paint on the lip or even just some colour coded nuts for now.
  16. Yep will do. Its not till december anyway, im just making sure ive got enough time to fix my issue if i needed to.
  17. It seems that that the eml itself will not result in failure as it is not included in the list of mil's (malfunction indicator lights) that will result in failure, they are:- Illumination of malfunction indicator light (MIL) for electronic power steering, electronic stability control, electronic park brake control, brake fluid warning lamp, tyre pressure monitoring system and air bag/preâ€tensioner/ load limiter An eml (engine management light) should only normally attract an "advisory" which is what happened to a friend of mine recently, if you are still unsure then ring your MOT test centre and check directly Apparently there is some confusion as on some vehicles and EML can include one of the above MIL's EDIT **B*gger** you guys beat me to it Cheers Graham... at least you've given me more confidence as you're interpreting it the same as me.
  18. Nope, EML was not a failure previously, as i got through last years MOT with an advisory (the car is complaining but it's still within emissions standards) - so it looks like im in the clear. Cheers anyway.
  19. Jeysus... Never heard of anything like that before?!?!
  20. Really...? I was of that opinion until i read the following
  21. Sorry for the thread revival, but i've got a question about the MOT changes for my other car... Is an illuminated check engine light a failure now under these new rules? My fiesta has the eml light on for a faulty cat - but its still within the emission threshold to pass an MOT so i dont want to spend £350 fixing it if i dont have to. Having had a google, it says illuminated warning lights are now a failure, but it goes on to list specific warning lights, such as ABS, TCS etc - but there's no mention of the EML. Does anyone know?
  22. Apple maps car
  23. Autotrader is the only place i ever look for a car. However i've sold 4 or 5 via ebay over the years.
  24. As it sounds like these tyres are just required on a temporary basis, why not get some part worns on for the time being. Will be far better than your Wanli's! Try http://www.thetreadshop.co.uk/
