hi to all can some one help me as i am after rear archs and sills for my 300. if any one can help, i really want to put the car on the road. i will post some pictures when i start it. i have heard that there is some one on this site that makes pattern parts?????????????????????????????????????????

I really like it, took some fettling, including the part that is circled in one of the photos, had to cut down and fibreglass/fill the outside legs, but it does look good, and had to tack weld a new bracket on the wiper motor, but i'm chuffed, looks tasty in the flesh, not OTT... all comments welcome! Just need a brake light now.... (spoiler only cost 5 quid off ebay, and had enough paint left to spray it my self too...) I will be replacing the rubbers where it meets the boot with yellow rubber when i find some, using some of my niece's bike innertube at the mo, haha.... the exercise will do her good :)

Went through the MOT (German equivalent ) today with no real problems, started the car to drive back home and it wasn´´t running right at all. Sounded and felt a little like when one of my injectors died recently, just not so drastic. alot of vibration on the gear stick and the car is only slightly sounding like a tractor, hesitates when accelerating from idle but runs fine when going over 2500 rpm although when you accelerate you can feel the power isn´t there although boost gauge shows full boost. Could this be another injector on it´´s way out or is there something else I can check ( when the engine cools down ) that might cause these symptoms. As always. any…

...sailed through! :biggrin: That's almost my first year of Zed ownership under my belt, and another year to look forward to! The only thing the guy mentioned was that the suspension was a bit soft. He said the shocks and springs were in good condition, but just that the car drove a bit 'soft' which is something that I've noticed recently also. I had the car up on axle stands for about ten days a few months ago while I refurbed the brakes, ever since then the suspension has been a bit wallowy and floaty, anyone have any idea why this might be? I think it may be a perfect excuse for me to get some coilovers! :whistling:

stressed trying to get the bloomin glovebox out and the panel to the left of it for a re-trim, can i please get some advise? i searched but didnt find any previous threads, i must simply be a prat!

Hi, I have a boost leak from the butterfly shaft seal, can they be rebuilt with fresh seals? Secondly, can someone with a TB hangin around measure the stock size of the seal. I'm running larger TB's but am hoping that the seals are the same. Dimensions of mine are I.D 10mm O.D 18mm Thanks!

finished boost leak check and found 1"split in under maff pipe a little hose that wasnt on and a slight leak where the air intake large pipe bolts onto the tubs. That said she runs loads better but theres still slight hesitand and the reving through the rev range still isnt crisp? me thinks a new set of cold plugs maybe?

ok so after disconnecting TPS and reconnecting it the car ran great all the way to work. Even when driving to shops at break it was fine. Coming out of work at 11pm i turn the car on and the revs kept hunting up and down. tried the TPS disconnect again but the car stalled. Started her up again and decided to drive gently. Felt like missing alot and by the time i got round the corner i decided it just wasn't right. Pulled over and tried disconnect TPS again and the revs seemed to idle normally but with a bit of missing. Now when i tried to go the car kept getting to 2k and jolting back and forth between 1500 and 2000 rpm and wouldnt really go alot. I tho…

What a crap ending to a $hit weekend! On my home today. after drving down to my Mums after my uncle passed away suddenly this morning. Coming off a roundabout (in the inside lane) when the Citroen Pic-ar$e h*ole in the outside lane decided that they would continue round the rounabout and into the rear side of the zed! looked in my rear view mirror and the car carried on and looked like he was going to the garage just off the r/bout. Sped down the carriage way to do a U-turn and back to the garage where I was hoping to find the Citroen. No such luck he'd gone. Charged off down 1 of the 2 exits he could have gone down but no joy. Reported it to the Police…

i need some advice... i have a jap 1990 lwb TT, now i know its not worth much as its only and auto import, but its mine and i don't want to scrap it. im trying to decide what to do, its currently immobile in my garage as the engine has died, no mot or tax, all it really needs is an engine swop to be road legal, its completely rust free, do i get a new engine for it and fitted? think zedworld charge about 1500 for it, or do i scrap it and start again? thinking of getting a manual n/a swb if i do and does anyone know anywhere other then zedworld that can do the work ie source and fit a new engine? preferable near sussex. if it comes to it ill ha…

im thinking of selling the z why should i keep it? decisions, decisions!!

hi just checking what oil pressure most peoples zed's run, mines a n/a, on the gauge on the dash, from cold mine reads just over 4 then as the engine gets hot drops around to under 2, at 3k revs that is.

We're heading down to JAE next weekend for our first outing in the Zed. Trouble is we can only go on the Sunday, so just wondering if anyone else is heading down from the Yorkshire area that day and would like to convoy? :drool:

:whistling:

Does anyone have specific instructions for installing the TC in the zed? I've looked in the FAQ section but the links dead :thumbdown:. I've got the standard guide that came with it but was hoping to save a bit of time having to identify all the connections/wires first. Cheers Dave

The car i bought is smoking a bit. I thought it was the turbos, but reading on here i want to change the PCV valves first. Where can i get them from, and how hard are they to fit?? Cheers

Got nowhere with stereo but now today my car is revving at 2k at idle and when changing gear and having clutch in. I had a wiggle of all connectors at front and side of plenum this morning so do you think ive knocked something?

What a saga to get an MOT! Took it to the garage last Wednesday for the MOT, called the garage to see how we got on to be told they had to take it to another mot station as it is to low for their ramp and had to go over a pit, called back later to find it failed on some bulbs, handbrake and lower front n/s 'wishbone' Established they meant the bottom arm so got one from baz for Friday, worked my arse off Friday afternoon as finish at 1pm to get it done for a retest, 4.15pm all done and heading back to test, get a call from the garage to say MOT people closed early for bank holiday weekend so wll have to be next week! :thumbdown: Dropped it of following Wed…
