Going to start this thread for members to post up what they did each day to there zed. I will start with getting my MOT this morning. So what did you do today on your 300?:cool3:

......I have a Sony.

 

I detest IPhones.

Don't know why that happened then ??

Would it be a Tunewell transformer Si?

It's just the there is one on e bay that might do the job.

.and finally put this up.

 

About time too!

The one I have is made by F.A.R.T and was what the original came with. I'll check out what ratings it is tomorrow. Would quite like a slightly more compact one.

FART!

 

Bled the brakes and replaced the front window switches.

The F.A.R.T transformers generate between 1kV and 10kV (depending on model). Take care while switched on!

I vink Simon needs to be careful with his fart!

Never trust a F.A.R.T it sounds like!

You're all thinking it......

Ahhhh..... it won't work for you Si....... being an old F.A.R.T.............. :whistling::biggrin:

Dropped these off at the powder coaters yesterday (headlight weatherstrip brackets). Mine are generally in great shape with zero rust, but have that thin Nissan single stage wet paint on them which is very thin, some small chips on them and light scratches.

 

I should have had these done when I fitted my brand new headlights but didn't. Keen to see how they'll look with fresh and more durable coating on them.

Wednesday I spent ripping various bits of trim off trying to find the source of the mysterious dripping. No luck, very damp. At least driving through the puddles topped the blinker fluid up. Must find a way to seal the units.

 

Boring today. Changed air filters. Literally shovelled mud out of the bottom of the air box.

Makes a big difference, but I wish someone had told me before that it's nigh on impossible to get the darn lid back on without it fouling on everything known to man on the way in.

 

Not specifically Zed related but I bought a boost pack as I keep leaving the lights on.

Is there supposed to be a light to tell you the lights are on, or is it just a naff design?

There is a buzzer if you left the lights on and open the door when the car is off (at least mine does)

Whereabouts is the dripping?

Looks like you have your nice new C-class now Simon....:wink:

Ordered a new set of number plates.... hoping to put in for its first MOT since October 2013 on Monday, then on to the paint shop.

 

The recommisioning is nearly complete!

 

Good luck with the MOT Nick it would be great to see your Z back on the road again. :thumbup1:

Ah.. something else that my car should have but doesn't. I guess that's offset by the stuff it shouldn't have but does? :)

 

I was quite disappointed it didn't have the JDM speed dinger thing.

 

 

Whereabouts is the dripping?

 

The dripping is the left hand targa where it meets the top of the A pillar.

I've narrowed it down to either,

The drain tube not being sealed at the top

The big slab of rubber in that corner not being siliconed in properly (it looks a little peely)

or the seals just being past it despite looking ok, and allowing water through that wacky labyrinth bit where the window seal swaps from pillar to targa panel and the roof and everything.

 

That combined with the fact that the front window vents force the AC out of eco mode, which it doesn't really like...

 

Oh, and somewhere in the rear left corner of the boot lid, but I can't replicate that with buckets of water.

Provided the water is appearing at the top of the A pillar/window, this should help you track down the problem:

Super, will have to check the clips as well as the location of the silicone sealant.... when it stops raining... :cursing:

19°, dry, so what do you do? Cleaning and polishing the Z for a nice drive tommorrow with even warmer weather :phone:

2 years, 1 month and 1 day after she left home to go to my workshop, she drove home under her own steam.

 

Finally finished on the underside of the car. Subframe powder coated & polybushed. Diff mounts polybushed and new oil. All suspension joints poly bushed, after being stripped and coated with POR 15. HICAS removed and Driftworks lockout kit installed. New rear Powertrix drop links, freshly painted the Stillen ARB. Just need to get the rear wheels and connect the links to the ARB. I think a full geo setup is now required! And the biggest pain in the arse all the brake lines replaced.
