Soooo, on Saturday I decided to revisit my "alleged" groaning ABS pump - as per previous thread..... I have a spare pump, but before taking the plunge and swapping them out, I performed a few more tests - as the ECU diagnostic didn't reveal any faults. I swapped the relays - but the noise still persisted; I took the Zed out for many test-runs, Julia patiently sat in the back right seat, listening for where the noise may be coming from. We both concluded that it was probably from the pump - I had removed the plastic cover in the boot, just to be sure the groaning noise could be heard to the fullest. And then, I hit upon another idea - I removed the relays al…

Well new to me. Updated my original jap speakers to a more modern set from RichardS (thanks Richard) Door panel off and speakers changed over but of course I had to clean the inside of the door and the door air vents. Drivers door had been opened before for the installation of the remote locking and I had replaced the glass location roller thing. The passengers door panel was never of before and the plastic never opened. Any way here are the pics.

Just refurbished my wiper arms in satin black, now re-fitting the arms I would really appreciate if someone could post an image shows where the original rest position is. At the moment they are sitting right on the beginning of the black part of the lower part of the windscreen, but for some reason doesn't seem right?? A few images much appreciated:)

Spent ages today trying to work out why my washer jets were not working, started by filling the engine bay reservoir, still nothing just the motor buzzing..... Stripped out the N/S/F wheel arch liner, water bottle seemed ok, pipe at bottom nice and tight.... Then found another reservoir in the boot area... filled it up... still nothing but motor buzzing sound.... Then put air line on front washers, air pressure forced out apparent blockages.... front washer jets now working Also can someone confirm is the front reservoir for the rear wiper, and the rear reservoir is for the front wipers??

So when i dismantled the bottom end a few months ago i mistakenly left the crank exposed. Over the last few months its gained some surface oxidisation which easy came off with a cloth and wd40. Will i need to replace this or get is professionally polished again ? There is no pitting or scratches that i can feel although you can see discolouration in a few areas.

Can someone please list the LED bulbs required to convert the dash and both pods ? Many thanks

Hey Yall ? Not been active for quite some time but....... Recently been working on my almost a decade long project, nearly there, and the front indicators have no power to them. Harzards are fine both side and rear flash correctly, all bulbs working Indicator stalk side and rear flash quickly indicating bulb out, no power to front at all. I have replaced the front bumper, I have installed new larger side mount intercoolers. After spending time on the car on and off, basically I don't have a clue if I've missed anything. The ground is OK as its shared with the side lights and both sides light up fine. Has anybody any ideas please?? …
