scotthiddlestone Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Hi Folks, Great group,2 wee problems my central locking doesnt work tried new batteries any suggestions,and twice the back end has went at 30-40 mph coming off a roundabout not good,conditions both times greasy road and poor rear pirelli p6oos(i had just bought the car),now new tyres but confidence taken a knock.Scott Quote
martinmac Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Hi and welcome to the forum. Greasy roads +worn tyres+rwd = Does your central locking work ith the key in the lock. Quote
xStric9x Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Hi bud and welcome As said, trying to master a roundabout at 40mph with greasy conditions is not the best idea, especially if you are new to the car. Chill bud and get used to it during the summer months Don't want you to miss out on any Z meets cause you've got no Z. Quote
Maccaman Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Hi Scott & to the forum. Give those roundabouts a bit of respect, we have had 2 cars written off recently due to loss of control exiting. Quote
marzman Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Welcome mate. Have u had a rear wheel drive car before? You cant put the power down at will like you can in a front wheel drive car - you have to respect it at all times. Quote
sunset350z Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 As others have said be very careful exiting roundabouts my rear end overtook me with disastrous consequences a couple of weeks back. My pride and joy was written off, and now i'm searching for another zed. Give it respect in the wet Quote
bronzee Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Welcome to the forum Scott. Tell us more about your Zed. Quote
scotthiddlestone Posted June 5, 2009 Author Posted June 5, 2009 Cheers guys,to the replys i had a few rear wheel drives the last a bmw 323i se coupe,it stuck like glue,but will need to lay off the power on exit of roundabouts,still no remote central locking,will update profile and pics and groups when i get of my shifts on wed,thanks to everyone.Scott Quote
xStric9x Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Did you have your traction control switched off at the time? Quote
SunsetZed Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 to the club! There's no harm in getting the rear end out but do it when you know the car a bit better, it's good fun then! Quote
aquagazgt4 Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 welcome. i read all the rear wheel drive experiences on here i am very wary when putting power down on winding bits. and only go round roundabouts in reverse, have fun. (in the dry) Quote
