Does anyone have any experience Sky Insurance? Would you recommend them? On the hunt as it's renewal time and have got quite a competitive quote from them though it almost seems too good to be true. Cheers

Over a month ago, I responded to a wanted' advert, someone was looking for a steering wheel with the cruise control buttons and I offered one for free, I was just to find out about postage costs. For the life of me, I can't remember the person's name and I can't find the thread. However, various matters, including a family bereavement, has meant I haven't been on the site for about a month. I wish to extend my apologies to the person I messed about, it wasn't intentional, sorry pal! Regards Ronnie

Unfortunately I couldn't make TOTB last week, but it wasn't for lack of trying, so thought I'd put up a post about it - problem shared and all that :) Some of you will know the scramble I had to get to the previous TimeAttack event, with an engine swap, pedal box install, new loom, different ecu, all fitted between events, we mapped it on the road due to lack of time and came away from the Oulton Park with a decent haul of points despite my crash. Some pics to keep it interesting So this this brings us to last week... Monday - a day of rest and ordering a few bits. Slick Pete kindly sent me a new lower arm to replace my bent one Tuesday - go…

If I was to ever chop the Z in for another car, the cheapest car i would consider presently would be a 911 turbo, specifically a 997. Nothing really floats my boat up to that price bracket that I would consider worthwhile selling up for. Currently a good 911 (997) turbo is around 45-50k and I'd like to see 5k back for the Z so my current figure of how much it would cost for me to sell the Z is £40-45,000! Although, I would possibly keep the Z for a while just to be sure I'd made the right move.

Just a quick question for one of the mods needed ASAP thanks

How hard do you reckon it would be to fit this feature, the car has enough sensors to be tapped into etc, are there any DIY versions out there

I fitted the front four of my white sprayed coil packs with powder coated brackets I like the way they look (nothing wrong with lots of chrome but I fancied something a bit different) Anyway while doing so i managed to drop one of the little cloloured washer thingsdown between the cables near the nearside intercooler pipes While looking down there to see where it had gone I spotted a very worn looking rubber pipe about an inch across. It is in a terrible state, all cracked on the surface and badly perished. The condition does not show up well on the attached pic - but what is this hose? Its running from the front of the car and down besides the CAS unit …

Hi, My AC is working and blows cool air, but sometimes (especially if car has been used and then only parked for 15 minutes) it is like the air is not getting into the car. It can also happen when driving, and then it happens after about 20 - 30 minutes. The amount / volume of air that will pass through the vents in the dash will reduce to about 20% of normal. I can hear the fan still running, and some air is getting through. Also if I change (it is a 1993 Series 2 car with Auto Climate which I can manually change direction of air on) the direction of air, it seem like it is making a difference, and air distribution is changing (a bit hard to say, since volume of air…

Someone somewhere posted up about repairing/resoldering a speed sensor. (possibly Jeff) I have tried a couple of searches but not found it. Anyone know where this info is??? Im fed up with not having a working speedo and my MOT man might notice it although he didnt last year and its possibly not part of the test anyway.

Hi Guys, In the middle of a cambelt replacement and I need to pick up a set of pulleys, 1 x tensioner pulley and 2 guide pulleys for a Z32 TT... Does anyone have a set that they wan't to part with, or a set that has hardly had any use?! I really don't have the £250 for a new set of pulleys from Zedworld this month :( Best, William

The zed I might be buying tomorrow is really nice and I'm looking forward to it. But the owner doesn't know when the cambelt was done but says the previous owner was an enthusiast and a mechanic. How much does it cost generally for a cambelt change?

Has anyone on this site had this car previously? Ive been told the last owner has looked after this car for 16 years, and would have thought they would be or have been on here? If not this is the car im looking to buy, its a uk car exterior looks a little worn, if anyone who could check the compression and ECU for faults ie on conzult (its in Maidenhead) give me a price before I take my journey. Regards

Does anyone know whether you can purchase a classic car warranty, ive found a zed I think. However, to get my finance I need the car to have a warranty!! The company wont give the car a warranty due to the age of the car. thnx in advance

This moment really make me see how beautiful its a Z on road. I was on a black BMW convertible.

Hi guys just getting the Z ready for MOT, and one of the dip lights are dim, but the bulb looks fine, so thinking its the earth somewhere, does anyone know where the earth is as I cant seem to see it. cheers Tom
