As a 25-year-old, I refer to it as a mid-mid-life crisis. 350z was my original choice but the Zeddy's mpg just did it for me. I can gun it and grin a lot but also just cruise in sixth and not have to set up camp at my local petrol station. Managed 37.9mpg in France at one point. Incredible for...

I think we all know the Zed isn't the smoothest ride unless it's tarmac! I have 19s and Kumho tyres (not RFT) and standard suspension so mine is probably a little better than it could be. Even so, what could I do to soften it up more, besides sitting on a pillow or driving at 5mph?

A lot of it is the power delivery. In the Zed it's quite flat, which makes it feel less fast. Hit 3k, full power. Something like a Mazda RX8 will feel much quicker because the torque is much less linear but actually the performance difference is, at best, marginal. I managed 38.6mpg on the way...

Nothing wrong with the Fiat 500, especially the Abarth. If I needed a daily driver I would probably have the SS version. :driving:

Thanks. Search was playing silly buggers for me.

Hi all. Trying to find the switchy thing to adjust the level on my Xenons so I don't blind the French. Is it accessible from the bonnet? If so, anybody got a picture so I know roughly where to look?

Good to know, thanks. :thumbsup:

Liking dubsesd's shot, looks great! :thumbsup: Don't think equipment matters so much, it's the composition of a shot that counts. Avoid straight edges, use two-thirds, etc - that makes a real difference. A basic bit of Photoshop knowledge can help but it won't make a crap shot into a good one.

Hi all, When I got my car it had a very minor rattle, and disconnecting the DISA verified it as a problem in there (when running the engine just take off the connector, if you want to test it yourself). From what I've read, a slight bit of give in the DISA unit can cause the rattle you can hear...

Thanks everyone. Saved me a few quid.

Thanks very much. Don't suppose you have a link or something - I'm not sure which set on Halfords it is? http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchCmd?srch=t40&department=all&action=search&storeId=10001&catalogId=10151&langId=-1

Hi all, I need to take my DISA unit off to fit the replacement part I bought. It's a T40 I need on a torque wrench as far as I'm aware. Where can I get one for cheap - or even borrow? Located in South West London.

I just want to get rid of a few unsightly white marks on my roof. AutoGlym didn't quite do the job.

Should keep me busy on Saturday.

So adjusting the switch is enough or can I just use deflectors for my Xenons?
