Up until today, my ariel only came up when I turned on the radio. Today it decided to go up as soon as I turned on the stereo, whether it was the tuner or not I had on. Has anyone got any idea what's changed? Why might it have started now, all of a sudden doing that? Cheers

Hi all My zed went into safety boost again this afternoon. All was fine until about half way home when I tried to overtake 3 cars :eek: The last time this happened it was a hot day too and the car wouldn't boost over 7 psi after driving for half an hour....... Why does this happen? It is fine early morning when it's still cool Am I getting det (couldn't hear it?) or is it the sensor wiring? Any thoughts....... Richard :(

Need to get this done. i live in coventry so does anyone know a respectable place near here where i can get this done cheers.

Hi all I need Help!!! My Zed will not pull away it just bogs badly,if you rev it theres a noticable flat spot then it picks up.. It idles perfectly until you try to pull away then in just bogs and trys to cut out.and sometime does. it starts first time every time but is powerless...... I thought it was the AFM but when you disconnect it the ZED cuts out. i thought it may be the throttle position sensor as it only cuts out if you disconnect the bottom connector, but still runs with no change if you leave the bottom connector connected but disconnect only the main connector which fits to the main body of the TPS.... Any Help Please !!!! i am only getting a…

Spotted one Rich waiting at the lights turning towrds Sydenham. It was me shouting "RICH!" into your open window from my mondeo whizzing past :rofl: Sorry if I gave you a fright :D:D

Spotted a 'Brown', :confused: , P reg convertable in Grantham today (29th) at the junction of Manthorpe Road and Belton Lane traffic lights, around 11:40 (am) Dont supose it's anybody on here, but thought it was strange on such a lovely day like today, he had the roof up :confused:

I opened up the front panel where the air filter goes and looked down towards the bottom left of the front bumber (from inside). There are 2 metal shiney circular things with 'Bosch' written on. They are located where the front bumber has some slits (presumably for air) What are these ? Hope the description is not too vague and dont laugh Im still a amateur trying to work out my wonderful new Zed

Please can somebody translate the following date 15.9.15 this is the last oil change my car had and was wondering what it meant

i have been thinking over this for quite a while, i love my totally original z the reason i bought is loved the shape loved the style etc. however every time i come on to the forum i feel i am depriving my car of all thes lovely extras so i have to decide do i keep a really well maintained totally original z or do i start modifying also do those of us that choose the former get the same respect as the modders, in an ideal world i would like one of each, ah maybe soon

I'm thinking about getting hold of one of these to correct BOV stall/idle problem and have a couple of questions for anyone who has a SAFC2 installed: Just by installing it and leaving it alone (ie not messing with it and blowing up the engine) will it fix the above problem? Will taking it in to be professionally tuned help increase bhp? Thanks guys.

Guys, I have one of these, bought it from some guy of here who said it worked but never has since I fitted it! This one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9886&item=7913538129&rd=1 has an invertor, mine doesnt, is that the reason mine doest work? I wired the two wires from it straight onto the rear light but nothing happens when I turn my lights on!!! Any ideas anyone? :confused:

Going to be fitting some Blow off Valve's soon but have noticed on most modified Z'eds people don't mount them directly off the throttle body pipe and normal mount them off the turbo pipe below instead - is there any reason for this?! Is it because it by-passes the re-circulating Bov's? Somebody please help as I need to know the best place put them for maximum effect!!

Hi all :) I'm interested in a Z, it all sounds good, just a few questions I've got. 1) It has a Paul Bailey rear spoiler on it - personally, not my flavour, and ideally I want to be spoilerless. Am I able to swap tailgates with another Z? or has anyone removed a spoiler successfully without damaging it to re-use? 2) How easy is it to remove the front bumper and to attach a new one. I've done this on several (smaller) cars, the replacement bumper is a 99 spec one. 3) It's done 70,000 miles, and I read that post about a turbo "expectedly" failing at this mileage - is this normal then? and should I really be budgeting for new turbos as a matter of course?…

Since having my cam covers off and removing/refitting the temp sensors on the top water pipe I've been having problems. The electric fan seems to come on as soon as the car has warmed up. I can then park up, wiggle the connector (the yellow block) and the fan seems to switch between off/low/high speeds. If I then switch off for an hour or two and restart the engine, the electric comes back on immediately. My after market temp gauge is only showing about 85 degrees when at full temp and it doesn't have to be a warm day... I have stripped back the tape on the wiring and exposed the sender as much as I dare and all looks fine. Can the sender itself develop …
