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…

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

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…

Been busy getting the car ready for Silverstone tomorrow and JAE next weekend, thought i'd better get some pics up so you can see the new improved body mods that have been done, plus the work to the sills. Fitted Bomex front bumper and even rarer Border rear spoiler. Rear perspex strip to be fitted as soon as it arrives and also the grill mesh, but have to say im rather pleased with how she's looking now. cheerz Chris
