Had a day off today due to working late on friday :rockon: Started off by changing the ball joint on the golf ready for MOT... then it was onto the Z's :shifty: Me and mikey bean changed the engine in my TT a few weeks ago, but it was misfiring and making a tapping noise from the top end. I started with the usual suspects and unplugged the coilpack connectors whilst it was running, the first two on the left made no difference to the engine note, so that was a good start! So me and my mate took all the connectors off and cleaned them up along with the coilpacks. Started it up and it runs a treat now, took it up and down the road which felt great, I've not dr…

Hi there all, A friend of my Dads wants one and I have one on my old Zed. How hard is it to remove. The dash is already out and a lot of the ancillaries in the engine bay are out too. Any 'how to' or pics would be epic. Cheers all, Rob

Spent most of the morning sorting out my passenger side targa drain, and decided to change the pipe completely rather than try to stretch it.i put a small steel sleeve in the end so I could attach the rubber piece that goes through the body with a small hose clip so it wont come off again. Biggest headache was the corroded connectors where water had been running on them, a couple broke and needed re-wiring which was a pain as there isnt a lot of room, but at least they should stay nice and dry now. :)

hi guys bit of help please when i turn the ignition on and start the car the power light flashes 16 times any ideas why?

Cambelt schedule change is or was from new 60k or 5 years, in the real world they do probably last longer, however when purchasing a new zed that has little or no history the sensible thing to do is to change it anyway and you then have a base to work from. Case in point last week, new owner and despite been advised by the previous owner it had been done and had little mileage on it he decided to get get it done anyway as there was no proof. When the front was stipped down the belt did look from a quick look in good order, but the belt pulleys told a different story, the imprinted material is a mix of belt fibre and general dirt pounded onto the surface of the …

Any ideas would be welcome i will be changing the hose when i can get it off [ wish they would make cars easy to work on] Simon

what could be causing the interior lights(heater pod and ciggie)comining on after the keys are removed from ignition cheers

Well what a day I have had and OMG!!!!!! how much I love the zed, I cannot believe I was thinking of selling it. The zed had been pissing me off for some time now. Under any boost it was popping and banging and basically I had no power what so ever, but off boost she was as sweet as a nut, but I was only getting about 9mpg :( This happened ever since the new chip went in and 550injectors. So I was thinking of selling but it looked just so dam good and everything out there looks :xxx: so I was going to pop in the std injectors and be happy again. But then I was like no, I am going to get this fookin thing running right if it kills me. Browsing the net …

have just spent a productive hour and a half removing half a ton of white silicon sealer( not a good look on a black car!!!) from under my drivers side targa,cleaned it all up and lubed the wind deflector thingy so its all nice and free and poured some penertrating oil down the drain hole (figured it would be better than water if hose was disconnected ;) ), and it came out the bottom as it should,just behind the front wheel. did the same on the passenger side (no sealer this time), poured the penetrating oil down, but no sign of it underneath!. i know the drivers side is a pain to do but what about the passenger side???, how easy is it to get to the end of the …
