I need to get hold of a replacement indicator stalk. But this is no ordinary indicator stalk! After looking through all the old Zeds down at Ztech we couldn't find one with the same plugs coming out of the back. Most only have one set of plugs, mine also has a smaller plug coming out of it (this is highlighted with a red square in the pic). If anyone has one of these for sale, or knows what the extra plug thing is for please let me know. Thanks, Mike...

When I had my rear screen removed and refitted the trim no longer fitted properly as in these photos .... I have recently sourced a good used replacement and it is the same, with a gap at both ends and the company doing it think the seal shrinks and I need to buy a new one, has anyone else had the same problem or are we missing something obvious and not realising it as I have never heard of this problem before, any suggestions gratefully recieved, Richard.

I have a rattly bottom end (OO-EErr matron!) suspect a bottom end bearing. have spoken to ryan and he thinks it is probably due to me using gtx 10-40 when i did my last oil change.. how difficult is it for me to find out the bearing and crank numbers so i can order the correct parts?? i presume you can do it by removing the sump?? also how can i check if it has done any damage to my tubs?? and where is the best place to get new bearings from.. any spanner jockeys available who have done this before and could help??? reason for me askin is ryan is backed up solid for the next 3 weeks and i would like to have her fixed for japfest2 ..

When I have my main beam on and use the indicators, the side light next to the indicator on the front bumper comes on and stay on until I cancel the indicator. Same for both indicators! Are these supposed to be my front fogs as they do not come on when I press the front fog switch but my headlights seem to go brighter. Also, only the the round lights inside the headlights come on full beam. Is this right? :confused:

This afternoon/evening on Bear Flat. Standard looks apart from a high rise spoiler on the rear!

It was misfiring above 4k rpm, also had code 34. I rewired the connector and reset the ecu, no more code 34, all clear. Changed the maf and the misfiring stopped on low boost but still there on high boost. Also got code 34 again! When it misfires i cant hear any rattling, its just total power loss. Im going to change the plugs next but its really starting to pi** me off! What percentage should my a/f be at idle and full throttle? Is my car detting?
