Hi all, just getting used to my ZX and enjoying it very much so far. Does anybody know of a ZX specialist or garage that can look after my car a bit closer to me? I live in west london near Heathrow airport. It needs a few things doing to it. Any info would be great guys thanks a lot!!

hey guys, seems like the market is strong at the moment... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161200281271?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Average/low miles, good history, well kept, impressive sellign price. Will be interesting to see if it comes back on the market as you can never tell with ebay sales, but otherwise seems like some refreshing news :) Not that I want to sell at all, but good to know that she has potentially appreciated since I bought it. Best, William.

Well Zebedee trundled through his mot today after Jeff sorted out his duff fog light. Big thank you to zedworld for another great job!!

Hi guys, Just bought a z32 and see it has the seat belts in the door and lap belts in the rear. I was playing about on the bay and seen quite a few zx's with uk spec seatbelts on the chassis of the car and proper seat belts in the rear for the kids. Can these be changed about as there is a few sets on the bay but reading one listing, and they say its not possible to put the uk spec into the import model? Thanks as I don't want to take it to bits to find out they aren't compatable. regards Derek.

Just saw this on eBay at £34.95, so did a quick search and found it for £16.00 on Amazon.....Thought it would be a good investment at that price. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ring-Automotive-RSC500-Maintenance-Charger/dp/B00499DTVK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390770014&sr=8-1&keywords=Ring+RSC500

Guys and girls, I know it has been said many many times before, but please check your timing belts if you don't know it's history!!! After another great day at Mr. Lee Dent's place today, where he is busy working on my Zed, when we took the timing belt covers off, this is what we found: - More next post.

I see this today. Nice example... It was in good shape from what I saw. It was pulling out from a side road onto the main A2.

Has anyone hardwired a USB charger? I'm gonna be using my android phone with my new head unit, but the bluetooth drains the battery of the phone like a darts player drains Johns Smiths. I was thinking of just butchering a 12v belkin adapter (the kind that plugs into the cig lighter) and taking a live feed from behind the cig lighter. If I have it right, a 12v to 5v/1amp will do the job. What have other done? Or see anything massively wrong with my idea?

Whilst on the subject i would like to thank Ian of whom i bought it, and his time and help. And a huge massive BIG UP for the one and only LEE DENT who not only took it off for me but then went on to drive and take it from shrewsbury to Nottingham for me to Mark Derbys place, where its soon to be fitted along with my shells and bearings etc that Mark ordered from the states for me. A big thanks also to Terry from Sheppey in Kent who very kindly donated, foc, a rear set of shocks complete with springs that have done les…
