Had a bad accident in the Z earlier. think it's gonna be a write off:cry: Pulled out to overtake a van and the bad end just went, crashed into the first barrier with the passenger back end carried on spinning across the road with loads of traffic about and smashed into the barrier the other side. Lucky nothing else hit us. The Z if about 5" shorter on the front passenger side and a large chuck has been taken out of the passenger rear end My partner smacked her head hard and done her neck and shoulder in. I've done my back in and banged my head:cry: Just had the tracking and wheels balanced, could there of been any problems with this??? I'll post some pi…

Check out the splits.:slap: SOLD already.:tongue: Only £15 tho as ally is not making the money it used to. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

its making the noise, but no water coming out of washer. Its a shortie so water reservior is in the back - after minutes of trying to wash no water under car or anything - cant tell if its emptying anywhere but nowheres wet? Rear washer works fine. Removed front nozzle and nowts coming through. its wet like a drop at most. Any ideas on where to start looking? Is the pump at the front of the car on a shortie?

so who is here in the south-east? and do we have any local meets? please make a list:hyper: mental=hailsham

Hi All I recently had the front brakes on my zed replaced and when I went to pick up the car she wouldn’t start. The garage was shut and it was late a night with no one around so I called the RAC. He said that the battery was dead and jump started it for me with no problem first time. He stated that the battery was charging ok, but suggested that I drove the car for an hour or so and that would charge it up. I did that and when I got home I turned off the car and then tried to restart her again and she started with no problems. Next day I went out and she was dead again. I used my mate’s car to jump start her (she’s an automatic so no pushing involved here)…

I have the wings west front bumper on my Zed, and am having some racing mesh fitted in the large gap at the front and the smaller side ones. My Zed is gunmetal gray but I am unsure whether to go for black or silver mesh? Any advice? Also, if anyone has done this on the same bumper, how much will i need?

Think it was about 3pm ish, nice colour blue drove over the viaduct where the towers used to be

A mate of mine has bought a small steering wheel for his Z, what a difference to drive, makes the car feel smaller and a lot more nimble as not so much turn needed on the wheel. Who has a smaller wheel and how do you find it ?

Now i've gone to manual, where is the best place to buy gearknobs like Nismo etc...... just i find Ebay a bit worrying as i know there are a lot of ripoff ones out there. Cheers:D

Headed down to marble arch With a bloody noisy exhaust!! i was in my Isuzu !

I had a friend of mine remove the silencers from my tt Z, and it was far too loud and seemed to loose a bit of performance so I got him to install them again, however, when just one was on, on one side it seemed ok. Is it ok to run my Z with one silencer on one side and no silencers on the other? Or will it damage something, like the turbos etc? thanks, Dan

As the weather was decent today i decided to take my car into work which is in central london........ Enjoyed the weather as i had the Tbars off and then parked just off oxford street..... Came back to the car and found this attached to the windscreen......i have to admit it put a smile to my face but is a TVR really an upgrade to a Zed? Gotta admit it did tempt me for a sec but i dont think i could ever part with my car, we've been through to much Fas

Hi Guys Just wanted some information and some help Started the car up this morning and evrything was fine......drove for about 5 minutes to the nearest petrol station and filled her up.....came back and started her up and it seemed for a minute or two to smoke a little more then normal and i panicked and ran to the back and it cleared up but there was a slight hint of blue smoke from the exhaust.....iv had the pcv valves changed so it cant be that.......just wondering what it costs nowadays to get new turbos fitted also what route to take and can it be done without taking the engine out......i dont mind spending money but im looking for reliability over hug…

When I start up from cold, my engine rattles at the top end. After a minute or two its fine. I am thinking it is oil not getting to the lifters and they may be dry untill the oil gets to them. Is this right? if so is this causing damage and what can be done to help it. Thanks

Picked up my new wheels today, thanks to bantambunny (top bloke) A set of speedline alesios The car looks really good now, think even funkisi will like my wheel choice and the stance of it:eek: Will post some picks up tomorrow:hyper::hyper:

Not sure what they are called, but they are where the spark plugs are by the heads. After looking at it closely you can see that the rubber seal on the end is not looking its best. What is its purpose? Is it possible to buy new rubber rings, cos Im guessing I need new ones? Thanks, Ant

Spotted a white ZX in North Chingford about 9 - 9.30PM.

the hex nuts bolts that hold the rear section of the prop shaft to the diff? 8mm is too big and 7mm is to small :confused:. I've tried imperial but the biggest i've got is 1/4" Cheers Dave

Heading into London , you turned off before the end of the M4 . Nice car !

just been on the z center and dta sites but cant find them anywhere, any ideas. thanks

Hi Folks, I am having to change the lower rear shock bushes. I have managed to butcher the old ones out and have got some ES replacements to fit. There looks to be a metal sleeve left in the arm....I am wondering is this part of the OEM bush and does it need to come out? Also is it actually possible to press/pull the ES replacement in with the arm still on the car and without a 30tonne hydraulic press!? I am thinking it might not be possible and have to buy some new OEM ones as they are much softer and should be easier to get in. Any comments/help/advice is much appreciated....I can't use my Z now cos I gone past the point of no return!:smash::smash: Thanks Guys…

saw this zed at santa pod today anybody know who it belongs to???
