Red Zed G***TAG with hi spoiler spotted this morning going out of Truro. Was 2 cars behind for a few miles...but sadly not in the Zed :cry:

Had a phonecall from the engineering shop yesterday that went a little bit like this: "Mr Tandy?" "Is that Bob?" "It is, just ringing to say the heads and flywheel are all done" "What about the block?" "Umm i don't know how to tell you this but you know you wanted it overbored?" "Yup" "It was already overbored by 40thou" "Great so you don't need to do anything?" "Um nope it's scrap" "Huh?" "It's so badly scorched and scratched under the protective layer of grease you should just chuck it and get another block" "F*****SSSSHHH******TTT****" :headvswal So spent the rest of the afternoon desperately ringing ever…

When putting everything back together after changing my handbrake warning light bulb I think I wired the aftermarket switch for the rear fogs up wrong. Now the front fogs don't work either :headvswal I've wired the rear fog switch up correctly now and checked the foglight fuse but the front and rear fogs refuse to work. The fog relay doesn't click. The rear fog lights seem to take their power from the front fog switch. Any ideas what I might have done? Cheers, James

basically im looking to buy a bodykit for my zed and ive seen a few i like but i know theres loads out there, so can everyone post as many as theyve seen in here to help me decide :)! im looking to widen her a bit but not to extreme! has anybody seen the top gear where they have the purple 300 and get the smart people to burn it out, i love the body and side skirts on tht! cheers!

Having fitted the re-painted bumpers, washed the car and the sun coming out - went for a spin across the Black Mountains to Llandovery (Bikers Cafe) to meet up with an old friend. Almost forgotten how good it feels to straighten out all the twisty bits that Satan builds into the de-restricted sections of the Queens Highway!! It was awesome. On the downwards slope I happened across a Clio that was poodling along - til he saw the Zed filling his mirrrors. He then adopted the usual 'I'll show you stance' and was making a Dogs Breakfast of many bends - at one point he slowed and waved me past - but I didn't want to pass - it was too entertaining watching him …

hi guys so as some of you know my engine is not great and only got 90psi on cylinder 6 so how much would it cost for me to eaither fix the valve/s on cylinder 6 and or the piston rings if the bore is ok ?? id do the work my self just need the bits ?? her is a short video of the last engine i tottally rebuilt but its a ford engine so didnt cost me £3 million pound for parts like a zed does lol :)

Saw it come round Cemex roundabout and head down towards Newbold. Very quiet, I think it was a TT because I thought I could hear dump valves. Managed to get a pic off at the lights!

Hi, During the process of changing/looking at new O2 sensors I found this - might help someone else so... I have not tried this yet - but according to Lucas - should work for all Zirconia sensors. The document is here: http://www.lucaselectrical.co.uk/catalogues/LucasLamdaXCB462_Full.pdf Here is a précis of the test.. Lambda sensors, unlike other types of sensor fitted to an engine, have an optimum performance life cycle, which generally lasts about 45 000 to 60 000 thousand miles. The decrease in performance happens gradually to a point where the sensor will become tired or lazy. The sensor still works but the reaction times are slow. Reg…

Hi everyone :) I have just removed the headlights from my Z ... OMG THAT was fun...My knuckles look like corned beef! One of them had let in a little moisture (hence the removal), so I have done the hair-dryer trick and got the glass off and removed the grey plastic tray. No problem with that...However, the reflector dish behind the projector lens really needs cleaning. It is seriously mucky, and I would really like to take it out and give it a proper clean, rather than just dab at it with a cotton-ball on a stick, but I just can't figure out how to get the little ****er out! Anyone know how to do it? Cheers! :)

After the issues with trying to remove my sensors that are dead. Two options i need a bit of tech help with. What causes them to die, have i have cleaned the connectors but still nothing? After chatting to Bee Gee Vinz, he had his relocated, im thinking of putting them further down the pipes, to make more accessible from under the zed. if doing this, what size nut do i need to weld onto the pipes aqnd where is best to situate them. Anyone else done this. Stu
