My Zed has been laid up for about 7 months and only turned over a couple of times in that period. I need a new batt but what else should I be checking/replacing before she goes back on the road?. She had an oil/filter change 500 miles before being laid up. Thanks in advance!

Hi Zed people, Was it you I saw this afternoon on the trading estate in Llanelli driving a stunning black Zed with aftermarket wheels and BIG zorsts?.....didn't notice the plate. I was stuffing my face in Pizza Hut with the Mrs and Kids when I heard a distinct roar!.....the zed by the way. So, was it you? :)

Well i'm so pissed off waiting for my garage to fit new front brake disks im going to do it myself tomorrow after work. bought them a few weeks back, they're EBS turbo grooved discs wiyh kevlar pads. As i have absolutely no experience in mechanics a good freind of mine who's fairly handy with cars has volunteerd to help. I'd appreciate some do's and dont's from anyone who's changed their discs themselves on the Z. cheers. :smash:

Saw your Z up on the ramps today Baz - looking good mate :cool: Dave

I need to remove my original spoiler to fit f/glass one , but not really sure what i need to do in order to get it off , can anyone help

Me being a lazy fooker can I fit the BOV's with the re-circs still in place as I think I read somewhere someone has done this. Obviously I would need to blank the old ones to make them in-operable just wondered if it was possible. Thanks in advance, Chris :cool:

Can someone tell me what benefit this would be in fitting to the car????

I am returning to the UK from Germany and would like to bring my German spec 1991 TT back with me (even though there are no autobahns to play on! :cry: ). Does anyone know what/how technical mods I have to make (lights, speedo etc) and the registration process? Thanks in advance

My Zed has been laid up over for about 7 months and has only been started several times in this period, due to working on the engine. I have now finished the work and kicked her over and left it running for about 30 minutes. Switched her off and then went to kick it over again but no power at all, not even the faintest show of the warning lights on the dash!. Should the battery have charged a little in this time (the car has not actually moved anywhere!). Cheers

Anyone know the correct plugs for my NA 1992 ? Im running a fair bit of mods - so ideally like colder than stock but stock is a good start Currently using iridium TT plugs (for the last 2000 miles) and it may be me, but im sure they dont feel right

Whos just got the silver zed in Preston then??

Yellow kitted and transfered zed with a big spoiler cruising from blyth towards whitley bay yesterday. Anyone here? David

Would a faulty Throttle Position Sensor cause the Z to run In Safety Mode???

Ok, here's one for ya! Had the Zed on a rollin road last week, all stock apart from big twin exhaust. Was told about de-catting, but as usual, thought about questions AFTER I had left the place!!! :rolleyes: Stock '91 Jap TT,....how do I de-cat??? can i get to the ceramic bricks with the exhaust on the car? do i have to buy a replacement section of pipework underneath the car? or do i have to buy new down-pipes? not havin access to a ramp/pit really hampers a good head scratchin sesh to work out what is what and see how the thing is set up!! Anyone with anyone pointers? Cheers All Brett

Is there anyone here running a AVCR with boost jets aswell or should this idea be given a miss.???

Was that you on the Coventry road Nuneaton today at about 8pm??, guess it was as you had no front no plate.

Spotted you at about 4pm yestrday (sat) heading towards the MOD from the filton roundabout. Was in wifes car so didnt flash as you would have been miffed as to why LOL

2 white ones, green one, two grey ones,two red ones, blue one,black one spotted at Downholme road............who where they???

Cant seem to add pics to my sig....WTF do I have to do????? :headvswal :headvswal

Yay! Finally got around to doing the inner brake / fog light conversion. :dance: Used relays on each light so that not only are the brake lights dual-function, but dummy loads (10ohm resistors) are switched in so you don't get the "LIGHTS" warning on the dash :nana2: A well spent evening I think- time for a beer! :duffer: Mark [NB In my text and diagram below I originally made a mistake on the resistance required. I originally said 10 ohm when it should have been 6.8 ohm- bear that in mind when reading the responses!]

Is There Some Sort Of Vacuum Pressure Release Valve For The Fuel Tank? Went To Fill Up Today And The Fuel Cap Was Being Sucked On Harder Than Linda Lovelace! Drove Home About 3 Miles And Vacuum Was Back Again. Must Be Giving The Fuel Pump A Hard Time.

There,s been a lot of people praise these pads , my question is , are they a good upgrade on standard discs and callipers ? I,m needing to renew mine so i would rather get some ones that work better than standard ( as i found out approaching a island a bit quick !! nearly shat my pants :shock: ) or can anybody reccomend others that they have used. thanx allan
