Hi all, I've just recharged the battery in me ZX and taken it for a spank down the road. I hardly use it these days and the Cat warning light came on when booting down a dual carriage way. The car feels like it's holding back so I guess it needs a good drive and a service. Is there any precautions I can take to stop it doing this? I just don't get the time to use it nowadays and am holding it for a sale to a friend. Perhaps new plugs or something? Thanks in advance. Ice

I have a strange noise coming from the front end of the car. It sounds (no laughing please) like someone spraying an aerosol room freshener. It doesn't happen all the time though. Any ideas what might be the cause/sure? Thanks all.

Please excuse the long thread title. Wanting to fit very high power bulbs for my high level brake light. Now I've got the perspex panel and the 6 (I think it's 6) bulbs behind that. Thing is, they are so faint. Been told they are 13w and high power bulbs could not be fitted. So what I was thinking, is there a way of fitting a small step up transformer inline to the input so I can run high power bulbs? Ta

Yesterday I went out in my red 90 TT (not the grey one I got last week), after 45 minutes, with temp needle just below 1/2 way, the car was still blowing cold air on us, even though i set the temp ar 40 degrees. Any idea why this is? I went home and then went out in the grey 91 tt and it was warm after 10 mins. Any ideas?? Thanks.

Hi everyone. My headlight bulbs keep blowing - sometimes it's one...then it's the other. Is it me? Am I doing something wrong? I've had a poke around this forum and don't SEEM to be able to find a similar fault...but I'm a noob and a bit of a 'tard. Any help would really be appreciated. I've found some cheap (H3C) bulbs, but it's a pain to keep ordering them from Hongkong (£2.01 per pair, £5.99 postage and 1 week to arrive)! This is my first ZX, and without doubt the greatest car I have ever owned, so if I have to, I'll just keep buying bulbs till Hongkong runs out of them... In the meantime...HELP!

Hey guys I'm not a happy bunny at all :( most of you will know i got a 1990 LWB NA Manual import and the matrix has expired as do lots of them when previous owners can't be arsed changing the anti freeze. I've completely stripped the dash and all anciliaries (see pic) and i know where the heater is. I have followed all the available information that some of you have sent me and from hunting around the site, but i CANNOT find this elusive bolt that holds on the heater matrix to the pipes. PLUS i have MANUAL so i can't get it out anyway. I'm completely lost. Now i'm no newbie to repairing cars cos i've restored them from nothing before and am in the middle of a…

Hello, Does anyone know if R32 GTR Tubbs would fit onto a Zed??

Is it just me or is anyone else getting fed up with these two needlessly postwhoring and generally posting drunken crap? Between the two of them they have managed to post up in excess of 20 threads in the past two day which are all completely useless and in some cases even quite inciteful. They are not the only ones who are doing this but by far the most prolific and visible. This kind of posting is seriously affecting the credibility of this forum as a source of useful information for Z owners and it will definitely put genuine users off from joining the club. And that in turn affects us traders as being seen to be supliers to a "joke" of a forum. I've already had s…

After fitting an aftermarket boss & wheel I removed the cruise control button assembly and kept it. It has 3 wires, Yellow, white and green. I have since rejoined (I Had to cut the green and white wires to remove the HICAS disc assembly), the green to green, white to white, and tried putting yellow to earth (I think thats where its meant to go). My cruise doesnt work ?? :( Have I missed something? Cheers
