I have an Asda carrier bag in my boot :eusa-think:

Ahhh, found his .........

Oh dear, if it is, he might well end up with the BANNED banner next to his name :lol: I do quite like the rims though :eusa-think:

I know exactly what you mean. When my late Brother bought the latest Mercedes GLA AMG 45, I drove it, and I drove it hard, there were the above mentioned noises from the sports exhaust, and this drew looks from pedestrians, but although the figures tell me that I was accelerating quite a lot...

I always think my RCZ feels like an F1 car anyway :thumbup: I am constantly amazed when setting off from lights how a slight acceleration in the Z, nothing drastic, and if you look in the rear view, all the other traffic is disappearing behind you. I actually do keep thinking, is my Z really...

:greetings-wavingblue: welcome :text-welcomewave: Your Z looks awesome just the way it is :clap: but like Kerry (RCZ1) said, the odd few reversible mods can put your own mark on your car, without damaging its future originality. No point telling you that you won’t regret your purchase, cos...

Never been pc myself :lol: :lol:

Oh dear :shock:

I once had a car wrapped with a really good camouflage pattern. It did look fantastic when I had it done, but sadly, I never managed to find it afterwards :eusa-whistle:

The timing chain issue was (almost) exclusively limited to the Mk1. So if you choose a Mk2 (2013 onwards) you should avoid that problem anyway. My 200 GT will accelerate away uphill from mid 30mph in 6th with no problems. (I don’t usually do that - but just saying). The white Z’s are great for...

Don’t forget, red ones go faster :eusa-whistle:

The GT has a higher spec than the sport, the xenon lights are probably the most desirable extra, and although the sat nav option isn’t the best working example of gps, it certainly looks cool when the screen rolls up. Check the sills for jacking point damage And above all, make sure the...

Hang on, you haven’t had any rain yet, we generally don’t go more than @ 6 hours without at least a shower, & that’s on dry days :crazy:

Of course the sensible option would be to abolish road tax and add a couple of pence to a litre of fuel. Those who use the roads most would pay more tax, those who use the roads less pay less. Gas guzzlers pay more, eco green cars pay less. Isn’t this exactly what the government is trying to...

That’s exactly how I fitted the front cam in mine. I saw the problems the windscreen guy had re-fitting the rear view mirror, in the end it took him longer than it did to do the rest of the job. The wire tucks in quite nicely and can’t be seen from inside or outside :thumbup:

That’s true, the Hpfp & of course timing chain are well known issues with standard Z’s so probably nothing to do with your remap.

It does sound suspiciously like the timing chain. I think it’s @ £500 - £600 at a dealers. If you don’t know what it is, you need a decent garage to sort it for you. There are also quite a few reports on here of camshaft sensors failing, so it could just be a faulty sensor. I haven’t heard of a...

Almost, Royston - on the border South/West Yorkshire.

I have a puck that I made myself, it really is a puck. I made a kind of impression of the jacking point, and then cut out the hardened rubber puck to fit. I then chickened out all together, and just use it between the cross member & a low profile trolley jack :eusa-think:

I have read that people have used various chips with very good results. However, some time back, I spoke with a mechanic who regularly did remapping amongst other things. He said the chips were trouble. They do “trick” the ecu with false readings to get a boost in power. This can result in...
