Have noticed my Zed back firing recently... Usually after ive been ragging it and i slow down...... Its also burbling a lot at the moment......

might have found myself a nice 300, a lad on the sxoc told me that his brother was selling his, (from scotland somewhere) ive seen some pics and it is a very nice looking car, however, its an automatic and the gear box has gone, the lad has bought all the kit needed to convert it to a manual, and these bits are at the z centre in nottingham. can anyone tell me when a auto has been converted to a manual is there any difference between that and a factory made manual, ie bhp, etc. the lad wants good money for the car, and i must admit it is a tidy thing, just this conversion thats worrying me......:confused:

I've just ordered some speakers for my Zed. 6"x4" for the rear and 6.5" for the front. I intend to use the existing speaker cables and have already bypassed the rear speaker amp with the existing wires. Is there a great deal to be gained by installing new thicker speaker wires??? The speakers I've bought are Alpine SXE-1725S (front) and SXE-4625S (rear) which are not top quality. I did this purposely as I don't want to have a mobile disco. I love listening to loud music and have a definate inclination to turning it up until the speakers start to show distortion. I'm hoping that the new ones will be better than the stock speakers. I'm sure it can't be worse as my…

My electric aerial isn't working, so decided to take of boot trim to get to it. Found a load of wires. One section connected to a little black box, about the size of a pack of 10 fags, another section connected to a white box about twice the size. What are these and what is their function. I ask this because as I moved them both water poured out! Whatever they are supposed to do they won't do anymore. I tried taking them apart - the black box appears to be a sealed unit, the white box contains a small circuit board. I need to know what they are so if necessary I can replace them. Thanks for your help on this. Colin

Afetr my xarry on with the speedo working, I decided to get under the dash and see what, if anything, I could find. I appear to have a switch cut into the circuit of the speed converter?? cant think why you would want to do that. I also found the box shown in the picture, underneath the drivers side. It has six wires plugged into it, three of which have been cut. One of the remaining three is an earth. Any clues as to what it is or why anyone would chop it? Cheers Hugh
