Does anyone know what the correct torque is for the GBS Pro Race wheels? Ta Graham

Morning Simon Yeah its got the webbing on the trumpets....Thats A good idea. I'll try that later on today. Graham

Cheers guys I only have that single nut on the back. I have put my MAP on there, the car is running *bleep*e so was just wondering whether the MAP was in the wrong place

Morning all The welded nut on the back of the GBS plenum, is that for MAP sensor? Ta Graham

Evening I'm getting a lot of back pressure when I remove my fuel cap. Is this normal? Ta Graham

Hi Richard Ta for that. Is it better cooling on the inside? Supose with it being on the outside when it comes on you get nice warm legs as it blows though the bulkhead. Graham

Ta for all your replies. By the sounds of it the car is running about right then....high 90's seems to be the norm. I had it on fast idle about 3500 rpm for about 15mins and she got so hot the fuse holders cover melted on the bulkhead!! Just a thought does the fan sit on the nose cone side of the rad or engine side like modern cars? Ta Graham

Morning Just want to ask other Zetec Zero owners what there engine temps are. Mine is running really high at about 95-98c. Is this normal? Ta Graham

Well...took "zoe" for her IVA at Beverley Monday expecting the worst. She did fail but only on two minor things so on the whole I'm really pleased. Lambda sensor was running a tad too high and the steering gator on the nearside was touching the lower wishbone...thats it!! The fella at Beverley was great. He was actually human and "normal". Her made the whole process very easy and made me feel very comfortable. So on the whole not a bad day. Re test date is the 28th August so hopefully will be on the road soon. Graham

Yeah they are at the top. I have removed the rears and placed them on top of the disc so the nipple was pointing up too. I have also wound the pistons right in and clamped them then used the Eezibleed system but stil spongy pedal. I really don't know what to do now Graham

Hi Ian Ta for the reply. I have been having real issues with my brakes. The pedal is really spongy and I have bled them so many times now. I have put bleed nipples in the cylinder and the pedal is rock hard so I know thats fine. When you put your foot on the brakes its fairly hard to start with then it slowly drops down. I cant see it being air in the calipers as I have wound the pistons in and G clamped them in possition to get as much air out as pos. Any help would be appreciated as my IVA is Monday!!! Graham

Cheers mate, I have put a back stop on. I'm just sorting out the plunger bolt. I have bought a long M10 which I will cut down bit by bit and find the correct length. I have been told that the Sierra master cylinder olny has about 30mm travel. Dont know how true that is. I'm bricking myself over Monday...the test and the drive up!!! My Neice and her boyfriend are following me up there with a boot full of tools ect and some more petrol. I'll let you know how I get on. Graham

Morning What length bolt have you all used for the "plunger" from your pedal to the brake master cylinder? Ta Graham

Morning all Been having loads of problems with my Sierra master cylinder and now know its knackered. Been looking about and you can use some Fiat and also Mk 1 Fiesta cylinders. Has anyone got any other ideas about what makes you can use? Cheers Graham

Well all booked now...29th July at 8.00. Has anyone got any good sleeping pills as I cant sleep now with thinking of things that need doing or I have mist!!! Graham

Afternoon I need to do some repairs to my cycle wings and not sure where I can buy orange gell coat from. Has anyone got any ideas? Cheers Graham

Ta for the reply. Going to be booking its IVA and I have done an emmissions test and its way over. 1.7% CO. Graham

I know this has prob been on here before but whats the best way to lean out my Zetec? Its running EFI on Megasquirt. Do you change the air/fuel mixture???? Thanks Gray

Afternoon everyone Looking at buying a "Bullet" CAT and seen some in the US. Are the US emission laws the same as over here? Dont want to buy it and it doesn't comply with UK law. Ta Graham

I already have a cat and wideband Lambda but i think I have knackered it. Before I had it tuned it was spittting flames as it was over fuel'd so I think the cat will be buggered

I see...the engine's year is 1999.

Morning Can someone please help me out here as I'm a bit confused? Going to be sending off all my paper work this week to VOSA. If you get a Q plate is your car excluded from the emissions test? Graham

I have a Koso digi dash and it has no warning light to show when you have your lights on. It has the blue one for full beam. Do you need to green "lights on" lamp on the dash? Ta Graham

Great...see you then. I'll be in a Citroen DS3. (not racing) Look forward to it Graham

Is anyone off to Blyton this Sunday? Im going but only as a spectator as "Zoe" isn't legal yet. Would be great to meet up and have a yarn...and take some pics. Graham
