Had a bit of time on my hands yesterday so decided to trial fit my rear suspension arms and Hicas eliminator to the subframe.Cant wait to get the bush kit etc for the hub carriers so I can build it up properly.Anyway,heres a few pics :)

ive been trawling vosa and mot regulations, can anyone shed any light on the matter. For 2012, for any vehicles that were made with a cat, it must be visible and working. cant find the answers to if your decatted, what age does vehicle have to be, some areas state after 92, some state after 95. deisels are not covered as its only a smoke test. anyone who is decatted had an mot in the past few weeks. ways around it. it its for a 94 tt. stu

Can anyone tell me what looks right and wrong here please? Is there anywhere in the forum that tells me what everything should read? Thanks, Lee

Quick question, When looking down on the headlamps under the bonnet there appears to be a metal bracket that attaches to the headlamp, Question is are the available on there on or are they part of the headlamp?? the ones on my zed are abit rusted and was looking to replace them. Cheers in advance

Travelling towards the A34 between Wantage Rd island and Steventon turning....looked nice :) ....oh I was in a red citreon birlingo van lol

I'm going to be giving the zed a wash tomorrow with some zymol shampoo. The car was resprayed professionally in November in 2pac and I was wondering if it would be safe to give the car a wax as well? I've heard that you shouldn't wax a car for ages after a respray, pretty sure I read somewhere that mentioned six months. I've got some meguires carnauba (sp.?) wax for it. So would it be Ok to wax as well or should I just leave it for a while longer? cheers steams

Hi, I remember someone asking about refurbing their turbine alloys with the awkward little plastic nuts to make it look like split rims. I cant remember what site it was on and wondered if anyone on here can remember seeing a thread about it and who it was. Want to find out where you got them done?, what you did with the plastic bolts? (have them removed or repainted) and if you have a pic of them now? Thanks

Got the car up on the lift at mechanics today to have a good look around before booking it in for the suspension changes and discovered a one piece prop that I didn't know was there! Underside is very clean, only a couple of wee bits and pieces to pick up before getting it set up for the summer :rockon:

Right, well I managed to do a couple of little bits this weekend. Nothing major, but I did manage to treat a couple of leather seats and swap them with my old ones, and I finished off the window trims with the plasti-dip. I do like this stuff, but i do see it as a temporary fix and will look to buy new trim as and when i have to. Here are a few before and after pics: Seats: Before - After - Window trim: Before - During - After - Next on the list is the interior swap, I have a series 2 alcantera one sitting in my garage which i just bought, but being out there in the sun today..... I…

First Zed I've seen in bloody ages! I couldn't go by without flashing my lights and giving a thumbs up! Driver grinned and returned the thumbs up :biggrin: Busy weekend, so the details I spotted are limited to that fact it was a Zed, it was black, and I think it had a vented nose panel. For the record I was in the missus's Rav4. Mark

At some point my car has been converted from auto to manual. I noticed that the engine ecu has automatic written on it. Is there any difference in the engine ecu's, could this be why my engine is playing up?
