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:

Sounds promising mate. :thumbup1:

She's home, if only she knew what was coming. We found out the hard way that there was no power steering :lol:

Ah, the relief of hitting 120mph and still feeling the power ready to come on :biggrin:

 

It's official, the test drive was faultless!

Done some wiring repairs whilst I was at it and water proofed a couple of connections.

 

I'm so very pleased to announce that nostrils is back to full health again at least for now :dance:

Thanks for all your help and support guys, it's appreciated.

not fun without power steering lol,

 

 

 

fixed mine today, replace the oil line, there's a bit of skin left on my hand lol, redid the exhaust again, still blowing slightly, nnot convined I still don't have anoth oil leak, but shes home now, cant risk the brighton run with it, ill be using the blue one.

I did a few bits and bobs and just put the rear seats in for tomorrow.

I finally replaced the left side windscreen trim......

 

.....And then gave the Zed a good wash, plus a coat of Valet Pro Classic Gloss Protection wax. Hell, the car was pretty dirty after a week touring Dartmoor, but it's now back to its shiny blueness once again....:wink:

 

800 miles covered and everything in order, as it should be....:dance:

Sure is..... And good to be back too, thanks Gary!!

 

I'll get a few pics up from the trip in the next couple of days:wink:

So I wired up my OEM taillights today to the OEM loom (thanks Phutumsch and Paul for those) everything is working apart from the passenger side sidelight.. Which gets a small amount of power through circuit testing but not enough to power the bulb? Any thoughts?

Also have a spare connector that gets power when the sidelights are on, thought it may be a booster of sorts?

Sounds like you've got a bad earth on the passenger side mate, try giving the connector for the passenger side a clean and tighten the pin for the earth by using a small screw driver to close the gap in the connector to tighten the grip on the pin..

There's also a small control box in the driver side rear just next to where the aerial fits in. These boxes can sometimes have a bad connection which can cause issues..

Fairly sure Andy the phutumsch will be able to pin pint it for you as he's a guru on the lights in these cars but those are the points I would check first if it were me.

Good luck

Today I made a start removing the tailgate skin than was fitted to my spare slicktop when I bought it.

A nice surprise under it.... NON rusty metal.

Some of the square holes to fit the perspex strip pegs are not drilled but that can be fixed.

Trial fitted srip without them.

I also got the horseshoe style 95 OEM spoiler out of the loft so I can get that fitted.

Will put tailgate skin up for sale if anyone wants it.

Are you referring to this box? Because it has a strong connection in, and a weak leaving it (for the passenger side) with a strong in and strong out for driver side

Yes he is referring to that box.

Looks like time for a replacement

I'm taking the boot interior out this weekend, I'll see if it's there

Ah the magic of the forum working well... Great stuff Ali

:thumbup:

That'd be great if it's there Ali, let me know what you want for it[emoji106]

Took mine for a spin yesterday and I was very happy when she started doing this:

 

Yep, the clock was working, the hapiness didn't last long because after 5 minutes another light came on , the Hicas light. Power steering fel away too. Started her this morning and everything was fine again. Anyone have an idea? There is enough fluid in the PS.
