RichardS Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Today, I took my Zed to have the full four-wheel alignment done.... It was definitely overdue - after clattering over the pot-hole ridden roads around here - but also because I had some work done on the OSF suspension leg when the MOT highlighted king-pin play a few weeks back. 2 Quote I have something to say............

RobHowl Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 New steering wheel fitted (recovered genuine one, looks great!) fitted some new window seals and investigated the Speedo issue and am now pretty sure it’s the speed sensor that’s the issue. 6 1 Quote #1. 1993 Twin Turbo Manual LWB in black (2022 - ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardS Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Crashed.... 😞 Someone managed to drive into the back of my Zed this afternoon.... They were a little too quick pulling off a roundabout. Still, the damage is only superficial - just a rear bumper respray and a tiny dent below the NS back light, so the area between the bumper and light will need painting too. Their car came off worse - but the main thing is, no-one was hurt. 2 1 2 Quote I have something to say............

I didn't mate - I am sad to admit, I almost lost it with the women driving the Focus.... I got out of the car calm(ish) enough but when she accused me of braking too hard, I really let rip.... I only backed off when she finally apologised. 1 Quote I have something to say............

It's unbelievable that some people even think to try it on! Aside from the fact she rear ended you...everyone down the pub knows that's an open and shut insurance claim! lol Quote [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My Ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bones28 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 That’s such a shame but the Zed does have a decent crash bar. 1 Quote 2002 Porsche C2 996 3.6 1991 Nissan 300zx TT Project 1995 Nissan 300zx TT Crashed 🥲 1997 Jaguar XK8 Scraped ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Oh no Richhard, what a shame. Glad it only looks minor, but save any assessment until the bumper comes off. Hope you manage to get it all resolved back to how it was and no insurance shenanigans. So many people just never accept their own mistakes, always try to shift blame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz 300 Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 Sad news Richard but as Craig has said give it a good check over and make sure there is no small cracks in your rear lights mate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reported it to Admiral on Friday evening - and fortunately she is also insured with Admiral, so it should not be too arduous... Hopefully! 1 Quote I have something to say............

RichardS Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Nothing today (yet) as we're heading out to our local village food festival..... But yesterday, I gave my Zed a good wash, as it got a little grubby after the IoW trip. Oh, and I took some pics for the insurance company's engineers. It'd be rude not to share a couple 😉 3 Quote I have something to say............ It's better to burn out than to fade away..... :tt2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 This is my new suspension set up, I hope everything will fit. Powertrix coils with harder and lower Swift Springs and a stance parts air cup system that will raise the car approx. 2 inches. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardS Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Popped into my local body shop to discuss the bumper repairs..... ......And booked it in for Tuesday May 7th. I'm just awaiting the verdict from Admiral's engineers now - they have accepted liability on the third party's behalf, so they just need to agree the repair costs. 2 Quote I have something to say............
