I am thinking of replacing the winow/roof seals on the Zed. They don't leak but are really scratty looking.(Somewhere along the line someone :xxx: has painted them black (with a brush!!!!) in an atemptto tidy them up) Has anyone done them and how hard is it? I don't want the car to end up looking better but leaking like a sieve :) Thanks for the power of knowledge

Hi all, I've got a Laserline alarm fitted to my 300, up till now its been fine - but recently the key fob doesn't activate the alarm, i've fitted a new battery to the fob & still nothing. Although i can still activate/deactivate the alarm by the Touch Key. Just wondering if anyone knew of any alarm electricians i can call in Kent? J

Bought my Zed on fleabay at rock bottom price. Dispite the rear diff giving up less than a week later.................... :headvswal it has run sweet as a nut ever since. Since doing a bit of research, I have discovered the car came with: Modena Ferrari replica wheels A 900 pound stainless exhaust A 600 pound stereo, which I now know is connected to a Kenwood amp with Kenwood speakers throughout Original Titanium Key (I now have a spare as well!) :tongue: Rear Spoiler is in PERFECT condition, with no cracks at all Full tools and owners manual included todays little discovery is a Navan Automatic Gear Knob!!! :dance: YEAH! Having said all this,…

Has anybody got one of these installed? I was wondering how you fit it to the dash? Glue? Screws? Sticky Velcro Tabs? Regards Marcus

Any body know if the auto twin turbo ECU is interchangable with none turbo ECU ( gearbox control not engine management) Ta

Hi all, quick question (probably a dumb one too!) Can i fit 235 tyres on the standard alloys? Thanks Ed

Just fitted my digital adjuster to the existing TC unit and had a quick mess about with it but it doesn't seem to save any of the changes I make if I turn the ignition off. I presume it should do or it's pretty useless.... Any ideas?

Hello, you can I know if my turbo are dead? Since I'e rebuilt my engine (forged piston and rod), my engine is making more smoke than my tyres :headvswal I've to seperate exhaust line and the one on driver (europeen) is making the smoke. My car is still running really great and powerfull. My admission is dry (o trace of oil). What can it be please?

due to the tt having a bigger flywheel i take it the starter is different also?

can they be tapped out or prised out? when replacing is any sealant needed? thank you! :duffer:

Hi, Took my speedo out of the car again this afternoon to fit a new convertor, but was wondering where the fuel needle should be when the "Low Fuel" warning light comes on? Yes, I know it shouldn't get that low, but noticed mine came on just as the needle touched the "E" bar on the scale. Is this right? If it's wrong, I'd like to correct it while the speedo is out and on my table LOL. Graham.

The SWB Z must be a fair bit lighter than the LWB, so is the 0-60 time much better? I've been trying to find a comparison on the net but can't seem to uncover much info on the SWB performance. Anybody tested one? I'm currently looking at a '93 auto SWB TT.

At Abbeywood retail park, wide ass. I was in the red 306 behind you.

hayes nr harlington school

Hi all, My Zed's HICAS light came on and we topped it up with Powersteering fluid. I went off for 2 days but now its on again. There doesn't seem to be a leak....it comes on and off and been doing it all day..dont think its the electrics playing up. Any ideas?? :headvswal

I fancy buying some (just for the sound as never had them before), but slightly put off by: when dumping (car normally dosen't) the system must bring in more air hence more fuel? Is this not a problem? confusing the ecu, un burnt fuel maybe.

I'm not talking about a trip to the beach or anything (although that would be quite nice as well when the weather warms up), I'm interested in getting my Z checked over and would like to know where abouts in and around Suffolk to take it. Thanks folks Gaz

i just discovered this today on my import and wondered, is it standard? is it legal? is it a good idea? when i indicate whith the headlights on the light on the outside of the indicator ( i thought it was a blank) comes on constant white and lights the kerb, pavement and hedge if i'm indicating left; and the other side of the road if i'm indicating right

will they work on an auto 300 i got a pair on but i've still got the standard ones on i've been told they are under the headlamp panel is this right and are they easy to remove and block off. any help is much appreciated cheers Chris.

Silver TT with aftermarket wheels coming off the A12 heading out of London at about 8ish (give or take an hour or so!!!) Tinted rear windows with exhausts fitted and a small silver sticker in one of the rear windows.

I will undoubtably book with Ryan and Greg to fix this but thought I would ask generally in case anyone has a genius idea. the rear oil seals on my tubs have blown. I was thinking I would get steel internals and the 360 thrust bearing done whilst I was there. I dont want to uprate the turbos as I simply cannot afford to replace or upgrade things like the intercoolers or head gasket. :( My question is this; How do I stop the rear seals blowing again as I have a de-cat fitted which caused the problem. I would like to leave it de-catted if I can. Surely a new turbo would just blow its seals again? :mad: Can someone explain to me exactly what it entails to …

how do you know if one of these aren't working (without a computer) also what symptoms would you have?

will they fit as my front speakers http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Alpine-6-5-280-Watt-Speakers-with-Tweeters-Free-P-P_W0QQitemZ5873112610QQcategoryZ18799QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem is it possible to get 6x9 in as the back speakers?

How much is an compression test?
