:confused: After running the Zed for nearly two years without any problems at all. I was shocked the other night to find after starting the car, then turning the headlights on. After about ten seconds the dipped beam, side lights, rear lights, interior lights all went out whilst the main bean immediately turned on. After that I could not get anything to work bar the main beem. I couldn't even turn the main beam off with the stork.

my speedo and pas have been cutting in and out on and off for a long time now. after reading faq, I have come to the conclusion it was either a speed sender unit or the actual clocks them selves.

I have installed the clocks, when they arrived both the rev counter and speedo were red line/180mph respectably.

Anyone do any better?. Steve.
