I bought some of this stuff to give my oil burner a de-coke but I see they also do a petrol version. So I was wondering if anybody has put a can through their zed, and if so what were the results?

under the car yesterday as im getting some custom made 3" pipes from the cats to my ZEE exhaust. Looking at the downpipes though they are welded to the cats without a flange in sight? what do you all do when you buy new downpipes and keep the cats in place?

are the interior panels/door cards etc.... black in the black leather interior or dark grey just never seen black 1s wondered if they exist

Well after all the help, I have decided to keep it black, should I keep it the original black or is there a better make/shade. Cheers mark

Just as i was leaving had a black zed pass me 99 spec rear spoiler and dirty :) think the reg was private plate starting RB****

..had the MOT this morning and passed with flying colours!! Really chuffed as had a lot of work done recently and was dreading even getting any advisorys!! Big thanks to Mark/Silverbullet for his recommendation on garage...top bloke and place!

Carbon roof is now completed and i must say it looks awesome!! Had to strip the interior roof trim out so i could remove the ttop centre bar and other trim pieces so i could wrap the all the recess and gutter parts so it looks good when the roof is off. Its good stuff to apply but an art is envolved and patience is a must. Its all in the prep work but very rewarding and ive not seen it done to a zed before so thought id be differnet. Also did the ashtray and both door shuts/supports what you all think?

spotted grey z 2pm today m4 east newport looking sweeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyone on here?

Just had a proper look through my service history, i've never really bothered before. Appart from finding out my car has an alarm (that doesnt work :p) i also have an MOT certificate from every year since 94 (no mot needed for first 3 years??) but most suprisingly, i have the original purchace reciept stating the car origionally cost £28,000. It also had a different Reg when new, and i have a reciept for the reg number change. How much do you think this adds to the value?

Hi, I got my old broken pump off the car, and tried to fit the replacement, but can I hell get it on, the bracket that hold the pump in place is smoth one side but has a bit sticking out on the other and I can not get the pump in place to put the bolt in.
