I need to get a new centre bearing fitted to my Zed and i was wondering if Zedworld were worth going to and what experience you guys have had with them.In fact if anyone knows of a good mechanic in my area let me know, I live in Bury St edmunds in Suffolk.

Andy,

 

As I said, I don't know the full details, but from what I remember in the post, it was not a case of the wheel nuts coming undone, but that the bolts sheered off.

 

Is this not correct? If it is, I don't see how you can put blame on Jeff, or anyone for that fact, due to the lack of integrity of a piece of metal. I apologize if I have got it wrong. As several people have already stated, only the people who actually saw the car, know the truth.

 

Apologies for bringing this up again. I was glad to see the back of it the first time.

The problem was caused by different wheels being fitted BUT with the old spacer left on. This caused the wheel to be pushed out so only 1/4" of thread was left for the wheel nut to thread onto. With this amount of material left, the bolt shearing was inevitable. Now while this could be easily overlooked, the frightening part was that the wheels were not actually sitting on the hub correctly - all the weight was taken by the studs instead of the hub.

 

OK, you're right this has gone on too long. A mistake was made and fortunately no one was hurt...

 

CheerZ,

 

Andy

Yes-this ran its course last time and tbh can't believe its taken this many posts for it to come up again. But lets not kick it all off again!

Agreed.

Agreed also...but things like this are BOUND to come up when someone says "What's so-and-so like?"

 

It was an horrific incident that fortunately didn't have more serious consequences, but it is still very fresh in our minds.

Yes-of course, and I wasn't belittling what happened. I'm sure it is still fresh in your mind-just glad you all came off unhurt.

 

Didn't want another war to break out thats all-seems like its only JUST kind of calmed down since last time.

 

It should be mentioned if the subject comes up -its the arguements about what and how it happened we don't need again.

 

James.

I've never been to Zedworld,but would definately go if it was closer.

As far as dealing with Jeff, then thats only been on the phone or asking him questions when he was on here,and from my few dealings he seems like a top bloke.

Cheers,

F.T.

Eh Tony, you are half way there already mate. Both me and James go there and we from Kent and Essex :).

I regularly travel over 100 miles to ZedWorld for bits and bobs including servicing and oil changes etc. I've been going there since I got my Z and will continue to go there. You will be hard pushed to find a garage that goes so much out of their way to help, is as friendly, spends hours on the phone giving FREE advice and puts in the hours Jeff does.

 

Top bloke!

When I was a Z owner (soon to be again!! :D ) I never took my car anywhere else!!

 

Jeff is a top bloke who goes beyond the call of duty, i.e. picking up people from places, helping out with viewing of potential purchases, extra work etc....and he does know his Ztuff!

 

He has done alot for me and if I had to pay the inflated prices elsewhere I would have been bankrupt now.

 

I have made many calls I have made to Jeff whilst driving when I have heard something odd or could smell something funny (no fart jokes please!)

 

When I eventually have another Z I will use Zedworld again.

 

I did pop over to the workshop as I was passing the area and said 'hello' and Jeff was working away and said he was in at 5am the following morning and wouldn't be leaving till 10pm that night as he had loads to do!.........he must be mad......:eek:

 

Matty.

I know Stuart,

but if I go too far north,I get a nose bleed!!!

(North V south argument comming up....should have put this in fight club!)

F.T.

I take my 300 to Zedworld and only Zedworld from London when things need doing.

 

Had a 200SX before this and always had it serviced at Nissan in Camden. I'm gobsmacked by the value for money I get from Jeff, and he's very frank and straight up. I thank my lucky stars that I found this forum, and from there found Jeff. Made up for my twenty quid already :)

 

I've only been twice so far (only had the car since Nov), but will definitely be back. I'm aware of the Ajay/Emero thread, and have talked with Jeff about it. It's not a pleasant story, and it brought out the worst in the forum, but I've made up my mind to stick with a fella that I think is straight up and great value for money.

 

I'd definitely recommend him.

 

Russ.

I've used Zedworld ever since I brought my Zed 7 months ago. I've allways found Jeff to be excellent value for money and i have allways been pleased with the work I've had done. Its clear to me that not only is Jeff a bloody good mechanic and bloody nice chap, but he's also an enthusiast who really loves his job.

When I was having the suspension changed on my car, Nissan only sent 3 shocks insted of 4, and I had to wait a week for them to send the last shock. So I decided to leave the car with Jeff and drive my girlfriends car, save going back up to Tamworth only to have to return a week later. In this time, Jeff fixed many minor bits and bobs and didn't charge me a bean for this extra work.

I've got only good words to say about Zedworld.... But the turkeys did freak me out a little!! :D :D :D :D :D :D

Mark

Yeah - dead turkey smell is probably the most unappealing part of ZedWorld. Should be based at "Turkeys End Farm".

 

Then again, perhaps I shouldn't have gone there a few weeks before Christmas :p

As I've said once before-also visited just before xmas and was treated to the sight of turkeys having their necks stretched to about 10ft long in some groovy turkey-killing-neck-stretching-machine. Nice.

 

I've heard Jeff has trained a couple up to do oil changes etc.....

Turkeys with 10 foot long necks?

Are you sure they weren't ostriches,James!!

F.T.

I've told you a million times, I don't exaggerate !!

Rest assured russtic the turkeys (and smell...yuk) are well gone,

 

Just as well they kept spilling the oil!!:D

 

Jeff TT

Ps Ajay have posted your mats after cleaning them up ( so look brand new) included an invoice for the postage. cheers

LOL :D

 

I hear that ATS and Kwik Fit are good when it comes to all things spherical with rubber around it! ;)

Cheers Jeff. :)

Good to see you back Jeff

Nice to see you Jeff.

 

Excellent job on my car mate, I am well happy. Bit of TLC now and it'll be a beaut.
