I didn't buy my ZX for fuel economy, however, how many miles do most of you guys get from a tank full of petrol. So far, filled up and used 1/4 of a tank for about 50 miles around town without being a total hooligan. Am about to do a 200 mile trip later this week and wondered if how many times I need to fill up? Could be in need of a serious service tune up!

i heard about mats for the zed someone was getting sorted out, any news, as i would like to buy some, cheers steve

obviously good nik please and not a noisy motor either, as it drives me mad, cheers Steve

Hi Has anyone got a spare rubber seal/sill at bottom of the window on the drivers side. If so how much do you want for it.

Ok Ive been suffering from a rattle now for a few months so after the garage couldn't find it on 3 occasions i got my car up on the kerb and slid under neath (nose against petrol tank) well I found the rattle, there is a rubber type bung fitted to both exhausts and it is quite loose when you move it, it has a piece of metal on it that was knocking agaisnt the exhaust, I just pulled it to one side, is it anything important? Im thinking temp sensor? Mike

grr annoyinh little problem, when I brake I get a judder sound from the rear wheel behind driver. its more of a clattering type scrapy noise when im going braking lightly at low speeds, any one got a clue what it could be before I go out and my wheel drops off Mike
