just thinking if this is problem or not? :ohmy:the running temp of my z is just above the minimum mark... when it is idling in town it goes up to near half way.

just looking at zx stuff just now and found this imo it looks good http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310196682123&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm38%26_nkw%3D310196682123%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

is there a list of the engine sensor max and min voltages, what im intersted in is when i use datascan i obviously can test the outputs of the sensors but what i dont know is what they should be reading under certain conditions. would be good to have a list of the desired readings to determine wheater a sensor is faulty or not. cheers gaz

I've just had cam belt changed with all bearings, tensioner etc - got the car back Friday, took her out today for 1st time and total lack of power. :cursing: At idle when put foot on gas revs drop to virtually nothing and then rise, very little power through revs, the noise of the exhaust has increased a lot Just like idea of possible causes - timing? cambelt out on a pulley? :helpsmilie:

Ok to those in the know the 16 bit ecu presents problems when an owner wants to chip his zed that has a later car with a 16 bit ecu, mostly retrofitting an earlier ecu is the easiest course. However here how it is done using a 16 bit unit, the first couple of pics show a standard 16 bit ecu before modification the last showns the modified unit with a sister board added in, by interfacing via the board edge connector the second board can use duel 28 pin eproms. Simples:wink:

Ok we were was surprised to find a broken rear spring on a zed the other day but even more so that the springs are Eibachs, these are one of those names we all feel happy to trust, not sure if this was a failure due to manufacturer error or wear and tear, incidently the shock although old looking was perfectly servicable, Will be speaking to Eibach to see what they think, of course I have no idea how old they are or what mileage thay have done but really should not have broken.:( Jeff TT

Can anyone tell me the weight of a set of Clocks ( speedo cluster)?? Need this to sort out postage costs Thanks guys Richie

gb is starting to suffer the ol knackered 4th sychro. these gearboxs seem to be fairly reasonable on fleabay and i hear they are strong. Any ideas on what would need to be done to wedge one in a zed?

bought a full black leather interior (seats). my z has already got but the leather on the drivers seat is totally wacked. my passenger and rear seats are okay but had to buy the full set. Can't wait til they are delivered. :clap:

Been waiting for ages to put these on, so temporary attached them today to see what they look like, They didnt fit as good as I thought they would being Bomex? I still need to do a bit of jiggery pokery to get them to sit right on the car. So next weekend they are back off and I`m going to splatter waxoyl everywhere behind the skirts and fully attach them!!! Hope you like!

Hi, just got a Z, needs abit of tlc, then I have big plans for her as its a project, also my other car is in the pics probs get slated as its a Scoob lol, Thanks Mark

Hi. Grey U.K spec on some dished wheels, didn't catch the reg as you passed the tram lines but she was looking good!

Saw you hooning just past the fox & crown pub, not one I'd seen before round this way.

Well im picking up my new shell today so if anyone sees a black swb being towed by an audi traveling from essex to shropshire give me a wave

Im not sure what this could be, but my car is smoking on idle at full temp, this is what its like even on a full run and i have been driving it for a few hours, any ideas? I hope its just something like PCV valves. And yes i know, it needs to be washed, but when the car lives on a farmyard most of the time, these things are going to happen.

Can anybody help ? My steering when turning goes heavy light heavy and is NOT quick responsive. If turning out of a junction it can near pull me into oncoming traffic (thats if theres any) lol. It is pretty dangerous though. I have read a few threads on this but still do not know where to start.:helpsmilie:

saw silver zed travelling clockwise on M25 today around M23 junction couldnt see the reg as was busy munching my pringles :innocent: looked like a nice car though

JUst got a Z today and drove it back home soon as you hit 60mph you get a constant Bong or binging noise, for 300 miles lol Anyone got clue what this is and how to stop it? Cheers Mark

:cry: Zeds gone to a new home. Couldn't justify keeping it and my overdraft has had a beating with recent events. Sad to see her go and have a big gap in my garage now. Maybe one day I'll get me a short slicky only time will tell.

Just wanted to say a big thanks to Jamie, Jeff and the team at Zedworld. My car is now running brilliantly after having a new injector fitted and the run home was great!!! :clap: Thanks for putting up with my paranoia and I hope you get your laptop PSU sorted!!! I ran a balance test when I got home and all is well!!!! :thumbup: Thanks again guys!!! Paul

Ok ive been having a think about the air filter set-up and was wondering if anyone has done this or could find any problems with this idea. I was thinking of cutting down the pipework of the air filter system by just connecting silicon hose straight from the turbos to behind my bumper. I would then make air ducts direct to the cone filters for direct air feed. This would be alot better for air flow being practicly direct and alot less heat soak from the mile long standard pipework. Can anyone see any problems with this or should i just stick with the Doolz? Cheers Dan
