Hello all.

 

My zed was stolen on saturday evening from Sheffield.

 

 

I thought I would post this in the hope that some of those more active in the zed community than me may come across something.

 

It is a entirely stock 'L' reg'93 import NA LWB in silver. There are a few subtle things that would allow me to identify the car as a whole. However, as I imagine the car is now, or will be very soon, in pieces it may be more difficult to identify.

 

perhaps it is a long shot but i just ask that if anyone is offered any suspect parts or anything like that then please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi mate, sorry to hear about your Zed, I live in Sheffield myself, Ill keep my eyes open, which area was it stolen from?

Thanks for your support guys. Not got any pics as i am on the iPad.

Full reg is L538 NNK. The only really distinctive things would be..

The aftermarket heated seats with the switches in the lower din hole.

The diagnostic port has been routed to a USB connector under the blank next to mirror switches.

A rather fetching homemade black suede h/brake and gear gaiters.

 

Aside from that it is just standard though.

Just noticed 'my rides' has gone, will try find a pic when I get home.

Had a call today to say the car has been found abandoned.

 

It is with a garage awaiting forensics now so wont get it back for a few days.

 

According to the lady on the phone the only damage is the ignition having been butchered and the stereo is missing. I will wait to see it in person before being satisfied about the extent of damage though.

 

Dont know much else right now, like where it was found or what it has been doing for 4 days, but at least it is in one piece (mostly)!

When you get it back give the engine, gearbox, brakes and tyres a good test and good to here your gor it back mate.

when you get it back, remove the 30amp fuel pump fuse from the small fuse box inside the engine bay, that will stop the little *******s robbing it again, just remember to put it back in when you want to go any where in it, other wise you will just end up cranking the engine until the bat goes dead.

so glad its been found pal!

very lucky mate, that its been found intact, when i was in the old bill 95% of cars stolen were usually trashed or trashed and torched to get rid of any forensics.

But from what your saying it dosent sound to bad, if that's all, plenty of breakers with the bits. keep us updated.

stu

Phew you must be relieved.Now is the time to fit that long promised immobiliser.

Thats good news! I was expecting burnt or in bits

Good news mate, as Gary said make sure you check everything well as it will more than likely flogged to death so if the engine sounds bad or smokes get it checked out before telling the insurance company it's alright

Good to hear you got it back mate, fingers crossed its ok other than the ignition barrel

Could have been so much worse mate, if it had been stolen in South Wales it most likely would have ended up dumped and burnt out somewhere up in the valleys
