Ive got a TT auto with the following prob..... Whilst trying to start my car there was a harsh grinding noise (like if you turn the key when the engine is already running) and it wouldn't start. I then put it into drive and started it and it was fine.....and still is even when starting now from park. Any ideas? Its happened once before..... Thanks Henry

my passanger wheel is 14mm forward i have looked around and cant see anything bent or out of place i did a search and seems a few more people have had the same trouble and it is caused by the Tension Rod Bush worn out etc mine look ok but do you think i should change them or is there something else i can look at 1st :)

i used wd40 and a toothbrush to get rid of that green like stains in the connectors, in the ptu, and temp sensor, and the grey round thing just opposite and below the left air intake... HELP HELP .... STUPID ZX....

My car was imported in 2003. It has this sticker on the crankcase. link to image does this mean that the cam belt was changed at 59000k? and the 100,000k, does that indicate the next time it needs changing? If so not good as its done 106,000l! But that is only about 28,000 miles, do they really need changing that often?

A red z flashed me today, was standard looking, traveling towards Ilkeston from belper on the A609 at about 5.30 today. I was in my very non standard red z going the opposite direction. Didnt get a chance to flash back as was watching my temp gauge like a hawk! Sorry!

Well Tunstead actually. Seen it twice now, Think it lives there.

need a piture or a few of them showing teh underneath of the car without the Tray fitted guys. Anyone got any?

At 13.25 today travelling towards Ringwood. Any takers?

My 1992 T/T import requires a pair of heads. (Or may consider complete engine). Any help much appreciated.

Driving towards BP station near Shooting range Was it you ??

went to look at a tt last night. was down on one cyliner. changed plugs and coilpacks no difference. if after doing a compression check (and it proves fine) and changing the PTU and its still not cured i take it the injector could be faulty? or have i over looked something? also, when the engine was hot, there wasnt much pressure in the coolant pipes (could squeeze with my hand) which i thought a little strange? it was also a bitch to start again when warm, so i guess it could be linked to the first problem outlined or a dodgey temp sensor? Any help appreciated. M

Hi all, Is there any info on the forum regarding removing the dashboard? Or anybody able to offer any info regarding securing nut/screw locations, any tricky bits? Thanks, GUMBALL :)

Only one thing to say!!!! The best looking Z I have ever seen!!!!!

The long haired boss saw you when she was coming back from southampton today. Red 300, original looking. :dance: Twin exhaust. ps proud of my lady, check out her Zed spotting!

Hi, I haven't had my 300 too long, and I've only been a member on here for a short time so please experienced zeders don't laugh at me. My problem is a "pulsing" feeling through the brake peddle when braking. I don't know if this is relevent but a couple of months ago I had to top the master cylinder every week for about a month, but there was no sign of a leak anywhere. I originally thought that it was just a case of a worped disc, but now I'm not so sure. BTW I haven't checked the brake pads for wear. Any help/info would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I haven't had my 300 that long, and only been a member a short time so don't laugh at me please. For a while now I've been getting a "pulsing" feeling through the brake peddle when the brakes are applied. A couple of months ago I went through a phase when I had to top up the master cylinder every week for about a month, then it stopped. I don't know if this is related. I originally thought it was as simple as a worped disc. Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated as this is driving (no pun intended) me mad.
