  1. What, really, please say your taking the piss. What I want to say is (you own a 2003 z4 20k when i last looked maybe less now, you want to buy new wheels fair enough but you don't want to buy new tires because there in good condition. However you'd like to risk your own and others lives by stretching a tire 2 inches smaller over a wheel. Even if you found a shop willing to do it do you realise how stupid this sounds, sell your 17's and stop being a dumb c**t) edit, you have made two comments so far first was my car needs 10w30 (ive just seen how much it is for 4l and sh*t myself) can i put cheap 'Japanese' stuff in. and now this one

    Pulled maf sensor today idled at 500rpm so pulled out the dip stick revs instantly rised to 1000 and a lovely gurgling sound pushing dip stick back in revs drop back down to 500, did notice that the pcv is meant to have 2 vacuum tubes mines got a blacking cap on the passenger side also has a blanking cap on a hose y section that im guessing is where it should join guess im just overly lucky at the mo, maf and pcv

    Dead pump also replaced the filter too
  10. So got the 540 running but if i don't have my foot on the gas it wont idle just dies straight away, if i do have my foot on the gas it runs extremely badly shakes the whole car. any ideas
  11. Well it runs, technically it just idles like i have a big block, and will only idle if my foot is on the accelerator
  12. Fitted new fuel pump to the 540 and now waiting for battery to charge also found a lake under the spare wheel
  13. Well it was 8 years ago i left lol. Last time i went into a repco i offered to go behind the counter and get the part myself coz the person took 15mins looking for it down the wrong isle. Just like today tho customer trying to tell me how a 600d was the new version of a 60d (canon slrs)
