http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2893285.htm I see this awesome zed is up for sale:sad: I have seen this zed in the flesh (metal) and it is the best in the country imo, anybody that buys this is one lucky zedder.

Car now reads code 55 so no faults, boost leak fixed but still 0.5bar boost, what else could cause this?

Well after seeing these on eBay then mentioned on here a few times last week I decided to buy 1 of the keys from eBay and I eagerly awaited its arrival ! Well I got a surprise and a half today! Whilsed the wifey was using my pc she accidently (so she says) logged into my eBay account and saw my new purchase and quickly came down stairs for a wee confession. Looks like after hearing me talk about it a few months ago she purchased two key's and the watch over a month ago for a surprise! So I now have 3 keys and a new zed watch ! Cool or what !:clap:

Hi there all, Need to change a rear wheel bearing and been quoted 390 quid! Now I didn't think it would be that much or have I missed something? Anyone reccommend a garage near Basingstoke that wont rip out a kidney to do it. Cheers

These are whats currently on my zed. It was advertised as having coilovers when i bought it but it looks like standard zed suspension to me... What do you guys think??

i Want to replace all vac and some other stuff with silicone piping what sizes would i need ?

i,d just like to say a big thanks to all at zedworld for the service they provide. on friday they picked my zed up from home and gave the car a thorough going over checking all the suspension and steering/tracking. they then delivered it back to my home . As nothing needed replacing or adjusting the bill came to £0 . Top people and a credit to the club and zed community. many thanks Andy

Now then, firstly who prefers matte black on a zed... Secondly, if you were to spray your zed matte black, would you add a coat of lacquer for protection??

So excited, missus says I've been talking about it in my sleep. I am SO happy it's going to be back on the road I just can't wait. Shame it'll still be running lumpy until we get the plenum changed out, but meh, will be awesome to have it back on the road.

Bloody neighbours kid has just rode his bike into the front of my car :cursing: he had those stupid stunt pegs on the back that jammed into the intercooler vent at the front & scratched all the paintwork! I only saw him do it as I was up a tree on a ladder in my garden cutting it back - saw him bounce off it. We have a parking courtyard out the back & the kids are just constantly riding around - the mum said she keeps telling them not to get close to the cars - FFS, do a bit more than just telling them if you keep having to warn them! To be fair the dad has said he will pay for it but just get them down the park!! There is a purpose built one f…

As above I'm after some parts being picked up for me please

A Tapping noise is coming from the top back of the engine. I havent driven the car for about 2 months. You can seem to hear it at the end of the first and second gear and just before you change gear, after that it seems to go away. What do you guys reckon?? Lifters i hope!

Since being placated by being told that my CHG wasn't blown and my engine was 'as strong as an ox', I celebrated by fitting a MINES ecu. (Cheers Big_Jim) Now, there's no question that it's made a remarkable difference to the car along with the decated exhaust and cone filter, but I'm not convinced I'm getting the best out of my turbos. It's worth noting that otherwise the engine is, (AFAIK), stock. The most boost I get, (according to the stock guage), is one notch under the '7', but I'm sure before, (not sure before what TBH), it would go all the way to '7'. So, would the ECU have, (for some ridiculous reason), reduced the boost or should I be looking at so…

Does anyone know if there is a write up on replacing the rear hicas ball joints,:ohmy: looks like mine are shot.:taz: Cheers.

Any info is helpful cheers

Needs some work to make it look better however some parts that could be sold on and a nice base project. I know it looks horrible at the moment but think about the potential

struggling to find a swb exhaust i want, so question is, is it possible do you think to alter a lwb 1 to fit the swb?

Just found this, i thought it was quite good, so thought i'd share.
