PM me a couple of pics of the damage?

I'd get an actual waterproof one this time :o

As said if you get it scanned, either by someone on here or by a garage, then it should lead you much further towards the fault.

Throttle position sensor? Throttle body itself? o2 sensor? Lambda sensor? I'm just banding ideas about here.

It's a fair shout, the only question is what's more messy, night out + hotel or camping?

I think this is the issue, stolen car is not insured? Or is it covered by the hire companies "theft" part of their insurance?

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner PM'd you Danny. Well I haven't, I just know they make you angry and I wanted to stir it up a bit. <3

I'm guessing this works out as being hit by an uninsured driver too? And given he's probably going to prison for a while you won't be able to claim anything there??

We're one and the same Matt. Perfect spec.

If you're anywhere near Brum, use city powdercoating like the rest of the world, insanely cheap. http://www.citypowdercoating.co.uk/ £20 a wheel.

You're right. They are rubbish pictures. Wheels look good though.

F**king hell, glad you're both OK. Shame as your car was mint.

Distance isn't an issue. If anything a decent country road blast afterwards and then starting on the beer is way more fun than just driving two minutes away.

Buy a real cheap digital camera for this specifically. Ask on here and you'll pick up a second hand one dirt cheap.

S'not a 172??

Standard springs generally get given away on here

Take more pictures. Asshole. Surely the wiring for these is relatively simple?

For sale? Is it a z4mc or just the z4c? What's next??

Mint. The Recaro's literally make it. Nice buy.

Fred s**t's alternators and pisses cambelts, when your car hears he's coming it'll fix itself!

This looks immense, you even got lashes out! I love his car so much it hurts, although it's dirty which I've never seen before. Where's Kev's purple monster? (I mean his car).

Right, get your ma's battery, test it's coming up as 12v. Get it on the car, switch the bugger on, radio and lights etc off, then take another reading off the battery. Then go out for a quick spin and try again. If it doesn't get anywhere near about 13.4 or so,I'd say the alternators gone but...

What are you looking for? Just see if it runs!!!! Really you want as close to 14.4v when running, and yes it should be a std 12V battery. Where are you taking your running reading from though?

Have you tried a new battery? Or borrowing someone's battery? Get a member to drive over and borrow his battery for 25 minutes, see what happens. You could even put your battery in their car, bump start it and see if they can charge yours for you? You could be making this more complicated than...

W^&%*r.

What happens if you bump start the car and drive for a while? Does the battery charge? Or does it just cut the f**k out?

£240 I think mate but it's been a while.

Ohhhhhh. See if it'll charge with the lower output then? Just give it a go.

Connected over your wireless network? Do you not find it slows down the rest of the network? Mine used to work brilliantly, I loved it, but now with about 600GB of content it just cannot cope. It can't index it all, so gives up after about 10 minutes of frozen-ness.

I thought Dan had sent you an alternator???
