The other day on my way home from work I had no power steering for about 20 seconds. This cured itself and so I ignored it. At the same time I notice that the kick down on the box was not working properly although the engine was running fine and reving ok. I stopped turned the engine off and on the the 'power' light for the auto box flashed about 6-7 times then stayed off and all returned as it should. WTF does this mean. Is my engine/gearbox about to blow it self to pieces or am I panicing for nothing. Any help appriciated. Tim

I never had a problem with pulling the ebrake to drift and fishtail and pulling donuts, but what's the price you have to pay for pulling the ebrake constantly? lol besides the tread life of your tires, and possible suspension issues

Will I need to bleed the HICAS system as I am replacing the Power Steering Pump? Or will just bleeding the P/S System be sufficient? Hope someone can help... Tim

Please can someone explain how the ignition system works (in lay mans terms ish).... Previous only used to dizzy cap/rotor arms/HT lead set ups..... all looks a bit complicated on the Zed...Forgive my ignorance.. Regardz...

rides are now updated with my new pipes from smithy take a look as they definatly brighten it up under there. hurry up mate with the last one.

For those people who were at Trax and witnessed my fuel pissing out of the side of the car on right handers I've now found the cause Pulled the shielding from around the filler tube (from the filler cap to the tank) and the vent tube that attaches at the top is completely corroded off This explains the terrible fuel economy!!! Anyway, does anyone know the part number and approx cost cos I'm damned if I can find it! All I need is the main filler tube and any gaskets.... CheerZ, Andy

I really need to hear that sound. I want purchase one but I need to hear it first. So please if anyone can help me with this

Just as a matter of fact is this normal:; My Z on initial start up shoots to 2000rpm but is accompianied by rattling which dissappears after a couple of seconds (valve clearances maybe) it then idles at 2K until it's warm. But to me also it warms up very quickly like about after a mile say it's reading warm ,gauge indicates just below halfway all the time..Renewed the thermostat when I replaced the water pump a month ago. Just curious if this is normal???

Have had a search around and found only two types people are talking about - KYBs and Toxicos (sure thats not spelt right) - Sounds like the Toxics are quite hard which wont suit me as essential to have relatively comfortable ride due to long commute - have heard good words about the KYBs but is the main choice really only between these two and standard ? Am going for the Blitz springs if this makes a difference ? Words of wisdom needed !

well well well.. what a weekend... things never go quite to plan do they ! decided that saturday was the day that i would install my traction control, and luckily Bob was visiting so i could call on his expert soldering before moving the car, i noticed a little puddle just behind the front wheel, look under the car, and the front of the chassis is wet, and it's a clear greasy fluid have a look around in the engine bay and it looks like a leaking brake master cylinder so a call to Darren the mechanic sees me ordering a new cylinder and appointment to fit when it arrives.... 160 quid or so started to strip stuff down, and got the back seats a…
