well got to yorkshire in my Z yesterday and after driving over a plank of wood at 80 mph have got a vibration on my wheels so thought i`d go to a local place to have wheels balanced ,went to kwikfit in wakefield and the manager told me that my front tryes are on the legal limit and i need 2 new tryes ,so i said they are legal so i only need them balanced to which he replyed there machine will only balance with decend tryes ,so i said no thanks and went to just tryes and they did both and told me that they need changing as they are close to the limit but no hard sell ,all i can say is there is a reason why i never usually go to kwikfit and it has been proved once again "ro…

I thought I would share my experience on this one. I get a few z's a year here with me with oil leaks from rear of engine and the customers believes to be rear main leaking. On inspection 9 out of ten of these cars have evidence of sump removel at some time in it's life. This is the biggest clue. These oil leaks have almost always been sump leaking at the rear. Not the rear main. It's a very simple repair which seems to be difficult to get right by many. One of the cars into us had had 4 rear main seals fitted in a year by another z garage only to be the sump. Anyway here is a run down of things to remember when resealing your sump to get it sealed first go. Once …

I must admit, im useless at computer stuff, give me engines and plumbing anyday But a bit of pic editing. i have made a template of how i want my zed to look.

Poor Z. :crying:

Had the zed of the road for 6 months now, fitted my new turbos, hoses etc. engine back in last weekend fired it up sounds good but no temp gauge no boost gauge no clock the list goes on.

Can anyone tell me an easy way of getting the top roof trims back on? They seem fairly awkward and the clips are pretty crap. Where's the best place to get them from? Or could I just bond the trims on and not bother with the clips? Already marked my new paint by trying to get these on! Most annoyed lol

Another recommendation from me!!!!! :online2long: I have had a flashing red led for my immobiliser since I got the car, but never thought it was bright enough even at night. I do have another red led and this blinks 3 times, this is for the alarm, this is a touch brighter. :tongue: I have just withdrawn the immobiliser one out of its hole in the right pod, it now just dangles inside hidden away, still working but not now visible. Replaced in the hole with this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Pre-Wired-Flashing-BLUE-12V-Led-with-Clip_W0QQitemZ300408733821QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item45f1c1807d this is much much brighter, cri…

hi all. does anyone know who to contact in the club regarding items advertised on here by another member that i payed for and never received. the guy wont even contact me to explain why. has anyone else experienced this ? ? i have been a member now for a while and so far found this club to be extremely helpfull for advice and parts. it would be a real shame if people started to abuse the trust and honesty promoted by most. any advice on this would be great.

hi peeps, firstly does the zeds cc work well? I have a breaker and am thinking about wipping out all the cc stuff to stick it in my slicky, does the cc wiring run into the main loom or is it seperate? Is there a seperate controll unit for it or is it?
