I've just noticed both rear sills (just in front of each wheel) are discolouring forming bubbles and rusting...... I guess i need to replace both sides towards the join just before each door. Before i do this i want to find a really good guy in London who i can trust! Anyone reccomend a garage in or near West London??? Cheers guys Alex (07944045178)

I know one of them is for the clock, just trying to work out what the rest are for? They all had something to do with the old stereo...I think. It's a bit of a mess. Not sure what's what. Sorry about the quality, I've lost the lead for my digi-cam, so have to rely on a phone!

is there any way of lowering the temp that the fan kicks in at? i.e. via consult or similar?

collected my car yesterday. while the engine is idling there's a sound exactly like AIV gurgle coming not from the nearside wing but from what sounds like the bottom of the centre of the engine. my AIVs were removed ages ago! she holds boost ok and drives fine, albeit i only run a few psi while im running her in. engine temp is a tad warmer than normal too. any ideas?

my zed has been making a horrible whining noise lately, on closer inspection it turns out that someone has over tightened the air con drive belt, resulting in the bearings going on the idler pulley, also the roller on the air con compressor is noisy when turned. can this roller be replaced or do i have to buy the compressor and roller together, and does anyone know where i can get the parts thanks

Didnt see the reg plate but from what i saw it was a VERY clean n tidy car.. wouldnt have spotted me as ive defected to the 200sx side :rofl:

What is the diference between the fuel injectors for the pre and post 1994/10 cars? The HKS list is for cars 1994/10 to 1998/10, can you not fit them to an earlier car with some modification?

Grey Zed in Mote park Saturday afternoon last 3 letters GDL. confussed my son from a distance he thought it was me turned up to collect him :tongue:

Right my battery I think is fried. But thats not the question. Have the charger connected and was going to fire the car up and take it for a clean. But although the radio wants to comeon I get a clicking comming from the near drivers side, all the electrics are intermittent with the clicking. Not enough power or is a relay fried?

Time to move on as I just cant keep buying new rear tyres every 1500 miles so have taken a wedge of cash and PX on a SWB NA with only 10k miles on the clock:eek::shock:

My zed tt has felt 'loose' and floaty for a while now, i put new upper arms on, new tension rod bushes, shocks,arms,bushes,balljoints(- what a toss job that is!) At each stage it felt better,but still loose. I finally put new whiteline adjustable anti roll bar links on the back.Strewth. Bloody thing is transformed :) doesn't hop,skip,stays flat on roundabouts, WHY didn't i do this first. Brilliant :hyper: £25? 20 minutes :wack: Just do it, if you are running about on 15 year old links!

Just a little update for those of you that know Eliza and for anyone else who gives a gnats ass!! ;) Eliza is now officially 'Off The Road' for the foreseeable future! Basically the Tax is out tonight and insurance is out next week, so I've bought a small run-about (a Rover 220SDi Turbo) which I'll be using as my daily from now on, with a view to putting Eliza back on the road sometime in the future. It's not just running costs that are against her at the moment, she still has all of the following problems...... No turbo boost! Leaking rear crank seal Buggered O2 sensor Possible shot HICAS arms + a few other niggly little things Along with th…

Does anyone know anything about this rear diffuser set-up, or the car? LINK:

With the recent "Antiroll bar size" related threads recently, and since I had each of the various types lieing around I thought I would take a few pics and measurements for future reference. The U.S spec Bar shares the same size bars as the UK TT, and the pics clearly show why the U.S Sourced Polyurethane Anti roll bar bushes wont fit the Jap roll bar. Jap Import Non-Turbo - 17mm Hollow Jap Import Twin Turbo - 21mm Hollow UK Twin Turbo - 27mm Hollow Aftermarket Whiteline - 22mm Solid

Cheers for the cam covers bud, thats what the club is all about:D:D

Seen a nice looking ZED. Reg SUS last digits, on WENNINGTON RD, outside the glass shop. Also seen on the A13 towards LONDON several times. Nice set of wheels Bud, Im just down the road across the Farm shop, look forward to seeing you again. OZ-ZX.

I know that the fuel tank is usually under pressure and that when you remove the petrol cap you can hear some air being sucked in, but since the weekend I seem to have a problem with excessive pressure in the fuel tank to the point that the fuel pump starts to act up causing the car to stutter and making it almost impossible to drive.If you then open the fuel cap you can hear a serious amount of air being sucked in and the car runs perfectly after that until the "excess" pressure builds up again after about 150-200 kms. :confused: anyone got any ideas what could be causing this ?

In previous posts I had no reading from the left 02 sensor and also when I ran a power balance test on Cozult the results were always diferent, usually at least 2 cylinders failed but it was diferent ones each time? So now I have fitted another 02 sensor and a new loom but nothing has changed!:rant: O2 still reads 0 Power balance test - diferent ones fail each time. I am out of answers, can someone help. At this rate I will be going to the Welsh meet as REO in an Audi!!!
