Started my N/A up for the first time in three months and it sounded like it was missing a few cylinders does anyone think this is any thing to worry about something died? or just where it has not been used for a while?

Doing a few jobs today and one was to change my steering wheel. Now have managed to get the 19mm socket off with a bit off force but for the life of me cant get the wheel off. :headvswal As far as I can see there is nothing else holding it in. Any tips would be appreciated. cheers ronnie

hmm im pretty much inept with mechanical things, iv looked at the engine by numbers thingy, and well it says resevoir (#3) so i take it thats where i fill it up? does the cap just unscrew? just there a pipe/lead sticking out of the top of it. hope this sloves the hicas, light goes out going downhill so i persume its this.

HI All, Ok took my original Tape player out today - already bought my cd player, so got the iso connector adapters and the arial - 2prongs into 1 thingy and great - all connecting fine.. Go to turn on the CD player aaaaannnddd.........nothing. :rolleyes: hmmm so i refer to the ..da.da da daaaaaa, manual (!) and it says to disconnect the battery - whoops didnt do that, so i disconnect the battery first and try again and still nothing, i didnt think it would make any difference tbh, no im thinking maybe ive blown the internals of the Cd player by not disconnecting the battery first? anyone had this before? Thanks Ed :duffer:

I was attempting my first service on the zed today, when i started having a few problems. firstly the spark plugs to a loooooooooooooooooooooong time, eventually done. Secondly i have no idea how to get the fuel filter off.Do i just yank it off the pipes, or what. Thirdly i was intending on fitting my induction kit as i thought it would be straight forward, however the instructions say that i have to remove the front bumper. Is that so. How hard is it and how do i do it??

how much boost does a Z run as standard? how much in safety mode and how much horsepower would you expect from running 14psi of boost

I have spent the whole morning today ringing around various places to get hold of either Tigerseal or Sikaflex 221 but no joy. Any ideas where to buy these as I need to fit my wire mesh onto the rear of the bumper today.

You were in a red 300 about 5:15 yesterday near Lewisham Train Station lompit vale area

Due to recent events of part time lovers hounding me I have lost total touch with reality and hence asking basic questions again: how the fu*k do you stick wire mesh behind bumpers ?

Quite fancy one, but not sure how powerful to go? Would this one (up to 230 ft/lb) suffice for most (simplish jobs) jobs on the Zed? http://www.machinemart.co.uk/product.asp?p=000310096&r=2017&g=103 Thanks, Matt.

when i put it in drive or any gear theres is a slight knocking noise from box,when moving you cant hear it only when stopped.gearbox feels fine ,but just that i have never heard it before as my aircon bearings was making aload of noise. is this something to worry about or is it a normal ..like i said its a slight knocking noise .seems like its going with the speed of engine if you see what i mean. thanks
