I remember watching Jean claude Van Damme's 'TIME COP ' and seeing the ZED in a scene in the mall where he stops the theid with the purse, it was advetising the Zed as a brand new car :D Just yesterday i watched a film- quite old called TEEN AGENT' and a woman is getting chased by a lotus and she is in a white zed with the targas off. everytime i see a film with a Zed in it no matter how ce@p the film i have one big cheesy grin on my face. any other movies with Zed's in where they have a decent part ??

hey everyone! with winter on its way, and talk of frosty salty roads. i was wondering what advice people may offer to a first time zedder as to how to keep her in good nick and avoid ending up upside down swearing :-) she is my daily drive, so parking her up is outta the question. any advice would be greatly appreciated, things along the lines of undersealing??? im guessing etc. cheers guys

I went to get a price today for some new tyres. Told the guy i wanted Falken, my rears are Falken, but he reckons the Nexen are far better. Cheaper too, £98 each fitted and balanced. I have booked it in tommorrow anyway to have them changed, just wondered if anyone else has Nexen tyres and what are your views/experience. Cheers Graham

Hi all, Looking for your advice as some of you may have successfully deal with this problem before. I've recently bought a Z OEM steering wheel which has turned out to be...terrible. The attached photos tell the story. Is there any way of dealing with the damage and wear and tear that you can see in the photos, for example using leather conditioners, dyes etc? The obvious next step should be to return the wheel however if there is anything I can do, then I will certainly have a go! Thanks.

Well as some of you may have seen, i had a problem with my auto box not selecting gears recently. I followed some advice from you guys and swapped fluid, no difference, then took of sump and cleaned out strainer, and replaced the fluid again. Hey Presto she worked, drove a couple of miles last night no problem so i took hr into work today but i noticed that at low speeds, (ie 1st and 2nd gear) she is changing gear ok but there is a slightly high pitched whirring noise (also in P when you rev - same noise) This noise is not noticeable when in higher gears. When i say she is changing gears ok, when i start her up and stick it in D there is more of a noticeable jolt tha…

Hi all just after a little bit of advice for my zx over winter. I am taking it off the road this week and rebuilding it over the next 6-8 months. The car will be covered with a water resistant car cover but is there anything else I should do to protect it as I don't want it rotting away or seizing up. I am also going to take pads out. As discs and pads are brand new. Reason for taking zx off road is due to a tapetty / sticking valve noise from rear passenger cylinder so I need to strip it down and have a look plus I am going to do big power and weight reduction mods ready for nurburgring in June. Any advice on prep for winter and modifications are welcome as I am new…

Hi, Anyone know where I can get hold of tension rod bushes quickly? I need them asap for MOT? Mark

Right, decided to bite the bullet and get over my phobia of doing a ECU check (yes i know very strange but for some reason it made me feel ill about doing it?) Im showing codes 11 and 21 11 is crank angle sensor / wiring harness 21 is ignition circuit, or PTU / wiring harness fault Sooo..... now what ? lol

For any of you that have had the misfortune to snap a bolt on the downpipe end of the turbo elbow - what have you done to remove it? I've got 2 snapped on the nearside sticking out a few mm from the flange and 1 on the o/s thats snapped flush. Trying to drill them out is proving difficult to say the least as normal HSS drill bits dont do much - it took me about 20 minutes of drilling to get about 1mm into one of the bolts. What are my options? I thought about removing the elbow from the turbo but thought if a stud there it's an engine out job to correct and I dont have an engine crane. My brother reckons I need a cobalt steel drill bit and that should speed the drilling u…

Hi All, Anyone had any experience with Clear HP166 tyres? ive got some on the back of my zed at the mo, but as ive never heard of them, im wondering if its worth replacing them for something better? Wouldnt be a hard decision to upgrade if they were nearly worn out, but annoyingly they still have 6mm of tread. Advice much appreciated! Brillo

just checking a few things out on a sunny sunday as you do and jacked the rear of the car up and was shocked to feel how much left and right play i could feel when holding the wheels, jesus the most ive ever felt in any car. I pretty much felt and even looked like the steering rack as i could see the track rod end moving but felt like it wasnt just those? i am replacing the rear rack with the driftworks kit shortly but just wondered if this is normal? james
