I am going to remove the quaint but naff tweed trim from my zed. Whats the best way to peel it off the plastic fittings and stuff, use warm water and soap..?

6.30 PM today Cromer Rd out of Norwich ? I think it was G reg. I was in my van not the Zed.

Hi to all Believe it or not i have a problem :hyper: . I have recently bought a jap import lwb tt auto, G plate, & its in for a new centre bearing, being fitted tomorrow. Now, when talking to the fitter today he tells me there were no spacers fitted between the bracket & floor. Now according to the tech index they should be there so my question is this. Do all zeds have these spacers fitted irrispective of where the come from & if so does anyone know the size they should be as i obviously dont want to f**k another bearing. Any help apreciated. Cheers fellas Shane

Ok where do i start? When i start my car it ticks over great,i can sit there revving it till im blue in the face (once warm of course) the trouble starts when i try to pull off it just wont :shock: It just fooks and farts like theres no fuel getting to it. Where do i start to look? Thanks guys. Steve.

Sometimes when i first start my car it idles and then sounds like the engine is going to cut out and then it starts to rev up to about 2000rpm by itself and then it starts to drop the revs until it sounds like it's going to cut out and then it revs up again?? Any ideas?

Hi Guys, The picture below, in the passenger footwell, is that the car's ECU? How easy is to replace and what should I go for? Do I need to get it professionally mapped? How much am I looking at?

Can anyone help and tell me what these wires are for, they look like some kind of temp sensor maybe for the climate control. Sorry its a crappy pic after resizing. Cheers, Scrawn

I have a feeling my head gasket's blown but before i start crying, what are the major symptoms like smell, discolouring etc... i replaced some of the water pipes over the weekend and for a couple of days it ran l ike a dream! then today when i started accelerating, the engine temp guage just went up and up so i stopped suddenly, turned it off and there was a lot of smoke coming from somewhere in the engine...couldn't quite work it out. whether it was coming from one of the pipes we'd fitted on the weekend or whether it's something a lot more serious!! Any help appreciated! Thanks Jim.

Ive read that you can remap the ECU with Conzult whilst the engine is on, you loose settings when you turn it off. Is this straight forward to do and can peeps suggest settings perhaps?

Now obviously it has something to do with sound that we can't hear? or does it? In the Toadai606 what do ultrasonics do? And I hear they are related to those little microphone things that get installed. I thought they were movement sensors but are they actually sound sensors? I did a search but still confused. Also to those of you with the toad, is pet mode the same as arming with ultrasonics disabled? Thanks, Al

Hi, Is there anyone from around the Cardiff area that wouldn't mind meeting up over the weekend and run a ConZult on my zed. I would like to give it a health check and figure out why the idle is lumpy and why it seems to be running a bit rough in general. (Probably could do with a service). Just to make sure there are no surprises before I book it into the garage. Any help would be very much appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you. Cheers Dom

Hi all, ive always had weak 4th (and 2nd) syncro's, but coming back from santapod last sunday i believe ive finished it off! I was up and down into 4th quite a few times having some fun, crunch crunch crunch! now it tends not to want to come out of 4th very easily? I'm assuming a cracked hub and new baulk rings are called for? (common on micras as it goes!) anyone know of gearbox part suppliers? And any good tips i should know? Thanks Steve

Nice sunny evening, just started and found a few issues (with the car not the kit), most can be resolved, just one outstanding Disk Rotor Guard: It's in the way and fouls the disk. Does it need to be removed or be bent out of the way? Thanks David

I used my Datascan on anothers members car which came up with a code 34 error in the ECU which I cleared, but I also noticed his O2 sensor read between 3 and 4 where as mine reads between 8 and 9? Also when I started my car this morning after left standing over night my timing was at 25 which has now gone to 15 as normal after a run is this right? But all in all my Z is running as sweet as a nut. P.s it's an N/A
