Anyone have a 93-94 Sales brochure scanned, that shows full details of Interior options ?

I have a 2+2 twin turbo on a g reg and it failed the mot on play in the rear steering rack is this common and if so any ideas on what it could be without replacing the whole thing?? any help would be extermley helpful as this is my first 300 and am still learning!!!

Further from my other thread it would seem my drivers side turbo seal is on its way out. So heres a few questions..... 1. Do I need to replace both tubs or just the goosed one? 2. Where is the best place to get re-con tubs? 3. How much am I looking at? Would like to use the tubs off my old UK Zed but I have no way of knowing if they are ok. Cheers guys.

Ok guyz...... Does anyone here have one fitted or any knowledge of these little puppies. Are they a good piece of kit, or simply bu****it!! and not needed. Something i found regarding the above...... (Not wiki....lol) "It is a simple car voltage stabilizer that is connected directly to a car battery.The function is to stabilize or filter an AC voltage from the alternator to get a clean DC voltage. A clean DC voltage is required for electronics equipment to operate in an optimum condition. The alternator voltage output is regulated and still has AC noise which will cause a humming noise to a power amplifier. This circuit will filter both low frequency noise …

I think it was my det sensor wiring that i found broken at the plug, its the one with two wires going itnto it, the o2 sensor has 3 i believe at the rear of the plennum, its a grey plug, would this have been the cause of a very slight rough idle when you give the slightest rev maybe 1500 rpm? have repaired it now but have removed my injectors and having some more that will have been sent away for flow testing to replace them so cant try them till then

Quarter passed four this afternoon.

Something i have found through trial and error whilst cleaning my injector and coil pack connectors, i have wrapped all my wires with electrical insulating tape, you know the black stuff everyone uses :thumbup: well around the top of the plennum it gets very hot this has made the tape quite hard and the problem arrises at the connector ends where the wires tend to twist easy becouse the trailing wires have been wrapped with tape and are now hard, i found my det sensor connector wires snapped at both ends as the insul tape had hardned and was letting the wires twist easy :thumbdown: now i have stripped the tape off and used self amalgamating tape that…

well been waiting ages on this but finally drop the zed off at the garage tomorrow to get checked over since its been off the road since december 2009.Then get its mot. its gonna be up for 2 weeks. gonna be the longest 2 weeks ever just hope i dont end up with a huge bill at the end lol

Hi guys, Got the new car on Wednesday eve knowing that I had to replace the PCV's to stop the exhaust smoke on the drivers side, passenger is ok. These were supplied with the car and I fitted these this afternoon. I also have topped up the oil as it was a bit low and have added a bottle of hydraulic lifter treatment as I had a ticking at the top of the engine. Anyway......... After all that I still get a lot of oil smoke when its been idling for about 3-5 minutes. It idles at about 900rpm and there is a distinct 'chugging' sound. It also doesn't seem as powerful as before. History on the car from the ad was engine rebuilt a few years ago and recently h…

Hi all Well after a house move and a new addition to the family last summer, I've not been on here for a while! Drove my Zed at the weekend for the first time since last August and getting behind the wheel again got me to log back on here. So what's been going on? Any highlights to save me trawling through the past 6 months of posts? I spotted Nico's old car had been purchased and Craig had been posting again (and there seemed to be some worrying pics of Jimmer all over the place :laugh: ) I'm defintely planning to get to some meets this year! :thumbup1: Good to be back! CheerZ Steve :)

Hi all, this seems a bit of a wimpy question compared to others but, having just purchased a full interior including seats, door cards etc, how easy is it to fit? I've accessed the write up about removing door cards elsewhere on the site but what about dash trim, rear passenger seats, trim etc? Any assistance much appreciated. Regards

As above spotted you around that time looked black and dirty :)

right im just toying with the idea at the moment, but i saw a photo of a 1969 corvette in a colour called riverside gold metallic and i think the zed would look great in it, id like anyone opinion on this, i was thinking with a carbon bonnet and spoiler along with some black rims would look great, im i the only one?

Probably lining myself up for a slating here but I was hoping to 'pep up' my Zed a bit. Not looking for gazillions of extra nags, just a few so how would you rate these? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290543025893&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

iv wanted to do something like this for ages with the gauges. really like these and would take all the hassle out of trying to do it myself just plug and play. maybe one day once iv got the other stuff done on the car il do it. what do you guys think of it? http://www.zcentre.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&category_id=73&flypage=flypage.pbv.tpl&product_id=484&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=7

I cant find it, do i have to literally take the ecu out or dismantle it? Even on google searches i cant find an image of it plugged in anywhere. TIA Mark
