Just put my zed away in garage and saw you drive pass one driver had a black cap on.

Is it just a case of getting a kwick-fit type place to source some or do these need to be special order and custom made? Any advice welcome...

Decided to take both inter coolers off today as they are quite corroded and battered with road debris etc, My question is, will she run OK? enough for me to put her back in the garage with them still off? Not likely to do any harm am I? I will put some before and after photos up later. While I have the front end off, is there any particular points of interest that anyone would like photos of? Thanks in advance.

Hi Just a quick question My starter died on me today and i was wondering if a NA starter is the same as my turbo one? Cheers Rich

Does anyone know what these two plugs are for? There on the passenger side just near the suspension turret part of the main loom Also this white one you can see in the pic where it comes from, there's been a few deletes on the car so wondered if these are from them

I have just fitted a HID kit, when I turn the lights on the engine rpm drops a fair bit, I put a multi meter across the battery terminals before the lights switched on and got 13.8 volts, with the lights turned on the voltage dropped down to 12.2 volts, this is without anything else turned on, no air con, stereo or any other lights. Cheers for any help.

I've done a search through some old posts but I was just wondering what the current consensus was regarding the options/methods available to paint the tailgate. With the seals being so expensive, does anyone have any nifty tips as to the most cost effective method. My painter suggested that if I don't remove the trim to get the paint in and under it, (ie masked off the trim) the lacquer would possibly peel from the edge in the future.

Filled up at Didcot services on Friday at 8....... Spotted you in the exit queue while I was waiting to join it Looked a nice white tidy Zed and possibly big brakes

Whilst there has been many a debate about the virtues of stock brakes on here, I have always been of the opinion they are good - as long as they are in full working order..... .....And I had the opportunity to test that theory this morning when a small child ran across the road in front of me, without looking or warning. Luckily there was no-one behind me, as I doubt they would have stopped as quickly!! Richard:nono:

how do i get one with correct color of my car ? :)

Hi I bought 6 pot 2 piece venom rears with Hella lights from Baz off ebay but a bit confused about the lights. Not fitted yet. At present the set up is outer light red LED, inner lights are tail lights, brake lights and indicators. Are the outer LED lights daylight running lights or can they be used as the tail lights? as I would like to change the inner configuration to indicator, brake light, one side reversing the other fog. Rob

I always wondered what these slots are for..... .....

Hi guys, Im in a bit of a pickle at the moment as my engine and gearbox are out of the car and it needs moving across the country asap. I can put the plenum back on and put it in the bay with the engine mounts bolted to the subframe but will that be rigid enough for transportation or do I need to brace the engine from moving forward and back somehow? Im not going to have time to put the gearbox back on.

:smartass:

Hi, I bought these on here a few years ago, I've tried looking on how to fit them but every guide seems a bit vague. I bought them as Bailey dump valves but since found these are called 'Professor Sheepdog' BOV's. Is it the same fitment?
