i need a black bumper, my car is the metalic black with gold flake type of Z, ive been offered a non metalic one. will this stand out like a sore thumb? or isit hardly noticable? PS its the front bumper

Saw a white zed yesterday (wednesday) on Liverpool Road, Southport at 11am. Have seen you a few times before but you have never made yourself known - so thought i'd give it another go lol. Aftermarket front bumper, and 6 pot round rear lights. Also dateless plate - YAZ ****. Who are you? :) Isaac :cool: Oh and BTW i was'nt in my zed so you wont of known you were spotted lol.

Hi all i have a square red button on the left side of the casing around the steering wheel, when i press it a fan come's on, does that mean i always have to activate my fan, the temp never creeps up even in heavy traffic, not pressed it once yet, well only to test what it was, is it a normal thing. thanks Dom

I have an occasionall misfire on 1 cylinder when the car is fully warmed up, however not when its first started, doesnt seem to missfire when revs are held, just on idle, any ideas without me looking?

So i can go to Z2009 Went for a run to warm up oil for oil & filter change. All of a sudden engine light came on,revs increased slighty to 1200rpm and electric fan came on. Changed oil & filter,so i know there is enough oil,checked water ok. Now on starting all is fine for between 10-40 seconds then same thing happens,engine light comes on,revs increase and electric fan on. Please help,want ot go to Z2009 this weekend.

Was it a success last month? Will there be a May Contest? By the poor turnout again i think possibly not!

Anyone heard of them or even used them?

My 300 has only done this twice in the time of me owning her and the last time it was very loud and has only ever done this when ive got her very hot and been giving it a hell of lot of beans,(basically on the verge of hitting the limiter) is this any thing to be concerned by or just unburnt gasses exploding on the hot exhaust upon exit?

Hi everyone My car will be arriving from Japan at the end of this month hopefully so I was wondering what if anything I will need to do to it. De-limit the speed ? Do I have to since I'm an old guffer now ? Adjust the mileometer to reflect the mileage in miles instead of km's ? How ? UK clocks ? (What's the difference ?) Other things ? Is it the act of de-limiting the speed that changes the mileometer to read miles ? Cheers Mark

Hi All, have not been on here for a little while as I have got so fed up with the Zed it has been parked in the gararge for the last few months. Current problem it that I keeped getting a wet MAF and engine cut out; however the problem I have is that when I disconnect to MAF it still cuts out, now I thought that with a disconnected MAF I simply would not be able to rev past 2500rpm. When the car cuts out, it is not a striaght cut out it runs on a few cylinders for about 10 secs and even if you press on the gas it dies! Now I have to say I am getting to the point where the mrs wont get in the car because it breaks down all the time!

How the hell do you get the metal pipes from the intercooler that tuck through the aperture by the radiator.......out. They have a mounting bracket on both ends. Do they come out without removing the anti roll bar.?

hey folks, my head lights while on main beem are very dim but once flicked onto full beem seem normal has anyone else had this problem? and how easy is it to change my bulbs? its like driving round with side lights on only??? HELPPPPP!!!

Hi all, Hopefully someone could help shed some light on a very odd looking red light that keeps coming on on my dash. Anybody got any ideas?:confused:
