The passenger door window on my 1990 NA LWB doesn't work. There is no sign of life not even relay clicking. The drivers side works fine. My 1991 SWB TT N/S window has been intermittent before as well. Any ideas what I look for?

I am currently in the process of installing clear rear indicator lenses but i am wondering what bulb to get for them. I have read on here about the "fried-egg" effect when using orange bulbs and using chromed silvertec bulbs instead but these posts all seem to be speaking about the side repeaters not the rears. Can you get away with orange bulbs in the rears because the diffuser means you cant see the orange bulb through it or can you also get silvertec bulbs for the rears? if so from where? I will also be de-oranging the other indicators. The side repeaters i will replace with clear repeaters and silvertec bulb. Where is the best place to get that set? An i want to …

Nice looking Grey Zed in the BP Garage in the centre of Calne around 12.40 the afternoon. Was it you!!

Black import with high spoiler. Jnnn HMY - number plate looked familiar.

I'm looking to get Sat Nav, got a few questions as I don't know much about it. * Is it easy to move fomr one car to another. I have 2 cars and would like to use it in both. * If I want to get a sat nav that covers Europe, do I need to buy a pre programmed model or can I just download maps from somewhere when I know I'm going to a certain country ?. * Any recommendations on what make model to go for ?. I don't want the top of the range ones, I just want something that's gonna get me from where I am to where i want to be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I've put this in the Wanted section but thought I'd post it here too as I need a new drivers window ASAP. I'm on 07917 150006 if anyone knows of one. I cant believe it, second time in 4 months, I'm livid. :rant: Time to move I think Thanks Andrew

I've been looking around for the best quote, and have come up with these........ Adrian Flux (who I'm with) quoted me a renewal of £619, but didn't add in a discount for being a member here, so reduced it down to £560 Carole Nash have quoted me at £438 (with included breakdown cover for the UK and Europe) I'm a member of the RAC, so thought I'd give them a try, and they quoted £399!!!! But then my breakdown cover is on top. So finally I gave Houghtons a try (as I used to be with them when it was my second car) they quoted a staggering £799!!! :shock: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Don't think I'll be using them! :D Oh, I'm 40 later this month, SD&P,…

does anyone have or has anyone made a boost leak detector that would be available to rent or to visit in the london area ? thanks guys

this morning and controlled it, it so makes a difference from before I poly bushed and replaced the hicas ball joints. To be honest I had lost my nerve with her cos before she wouldn't just step out she would jump and you had no chance of control, now I feel a bit more confident it was a nice breakaway and not just a loss of the back end. This was me all the way home :D :D :D :D :D :D

Here's a few piccies while installing the Japspeed zorst from the group buy :bow: superb piece of kit and went on straight away - all parts were supplied too including gaskets, bolts, etc. it sounds damn nice too ;) a little more bassy, bit it has taken some of the V8-sounding rumble away (which was probably bits of my old exhaust being knackered). sounds a little more like a straight-6 in my opinion but still very nice. :D Off with the old...

Don't want to change the exterior , as Zed's a beautiful anyway...but under the bonnet is a different matter. First things first, Cambelt Change - £350, auto oil box cooler £200....still have 2950 to spend....what should I do next? Suspension, brakes, engine mods... And what the max boost I can run on a standard car, without blowing a hole in it?

Happy Birthday Sarah :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: Have a good day!

bad news, 3 months on and girlfriend decided to walk, least car still here but bad news is due to finance must go, do you know how I can subscribe to put in trade section? Just when I had my plans for it!! not happy at all.

ok so i finished to rebuilt my engine and i installed it back yesterday and today. I installed many aftermarket parts, including a greddy td05/16G turbo kit :) I've just one concern about this part (represented by the red E on the picture) So can i remove this? My car is for racing only. Also, can i by pass it and connect C and D together? Or can any one tell me where A and B are suppose to be connect? Thank you for the help :)

Anyone know where you can get online a set of uk Zed wheels nuts..bought a set of external drive rays and do not fit with the wheels I have so looking for internal drive please..ps when AndyP reinstates my membership, I'll have brand new set of black rays wheel nuts for a Zed... Thanks Mark

Hi guys, When travelling at low speed say 20mph in 2nd or 3rd gear the car seems quite hesitant really. Seems to have occured since I fitted the boost controller. It feels a bit juddery as though the fuel isn't getting through quite quickly enough if you know what I mean. Above say 2.5-3k revs it's fine and you can't notice it. It also doesn't happen all the time lol. Weird one Any ideas? Chris

I changed my heater matrix this weekend, something I never want to do again by the way :rant: Anyway everything is working great apart from the above. The timer is part of the alarm which I believe was fitted in Japan. Everyting else works including the remote start but when I turn the engine off thats it, where as it used to stay running for 2 minutes after. Just wondering really if anyone had any ideas of which area of wiring I would be best off looking at first??? Cheers

Do you have another car to drive around in? If so what is it?

just wanted to know if anyone know's the diffrence? before i had my car chiped i would get 23-24 in town and 31-33 on a run (stay below 80mph) now i get 17-20 in town and 27-31 on a run.

Went to see an old Zed today thats breaking for spares. Its an 89, N/A Auto, standard wheels etc. Full car is complete, but wont start. Previous owner has removed a cam cover to check if the belt was broken. Belt seems ok, but seems to be turning over too easily. Sounds as if there is no, or very little compression. Didnt have time to do a compression test. Any ways, I assume the engine is shot, and as such, there is no way to check on the condition of the gearbox. Owner says it was driving fine, but he would ? :smw: Is it worth buying to break ?? Not looking to make a fortune, but every little helps !! Got a place to store it, and the required to…

Hello again guys, Ahhhhhhh a Sunday and another problem with the Z !!!!!!
