Last night i purchased my first Zed :D after trading in my clio 182 cup, lost a lot of money but so far worth it.

 

i now own a 1991 Auto twin turbo 2+2 z and its amazing, the sence of presence on the road is overwhelming.

 

i got my first of very few mods this morning...Aero wiper blades! ;)

 

needs work doing such as new heater matrix a service and some fibreglass filler also i think the NS front damper is knackered.

 

Also any got any good ways to clean up the original mats its as if they have been dipped in Mcdonalds chip fat ovens then been dragged through a quarry so advice on that would be helpful.

 

so anyway yeah, hey all.

Welcome to the forum! Sounds like the mats need a deep clean....elbow grease being the answer!

Welcome.

 

Buy a new set of mats. :)

Wanting to keep the original mats though the shagpile look is wierd but i like, was thinking some strong carpet cleaner and jetwash from a range or so...

You could always wet-vac them.

Welcome to the club mate any pics of your zed?

i havent taken any yet trying to get the Stereo working, i managed to get it to make a noise as if a cd spinning when i plug the connectors in, but once all connected the stereo doesnt turn on at all. stereo isnt faulty it was working in my clio about a day ago. :(

welcome mate, pics when you can?

welcome :)

Welcome to the club buddy!

Welcome to the club Mate, enjoy your zed, :thumbup1:where abouts are you?

 

Daz

wahey, another yung gun! wellcome fella.

well done on getting your z fella. just how the hell do you afford the insurance GULP!:wacko:

lol Telford Westmidlands, well yeah about the insurance they had a field day on my ass!

 

just fixed the stereo turns out there was no wire from the ignition to the stereo to allow power when ignition on so yeah got that one.

 

now ive just found out my 2 right rear sidelights dont come on but the 2 on the left do. this is a fault isnt it and it isnt some crazy parking light or somin.

 

the bulbs aint the problem if it is a fault, its the housings or wiring but i cant figure it out without a fluke or somin :bored:

Welcome to the club matey... looking forward to seeing some pics of your new beastie :thumbup:

Is it yellow by any chance?

 

I have seen a yellow zed in red lake ketley.

Welcome to the club. For the mats, i'd consider a good clean and then proper black carpet dye applied carefully :)

Not a parking light unfortunately. There is a little black box behind the right hand rear light panel, all the rear lights go through this little box. You might want to check the connection and failing that, take it apart, just a couple of plastic lugs, then check the circuit board fror dry joints or corrosion. I had a similar problem with mine, turned out the box was rotten inside. HTH

 

The fuse is for all the sidelights and not just one side, so wont be that, check the earthing on the light bulb feeds, the wires run across the bottom of the boot to feed the other side.

Welcome to the club mate!!
