People I've asked say the Zed was never fitted with one as standard, but I keep seeing cars advertised with adjustable steering wheel. Presume they don't mean a quick release wheel.

Has anyone actually got a zed with an adjustable steering column, ie up and down and in and out?

None were ever made IIRC.

 

The adjustable seat is meant to give all the adjustability needed.

That's what I suspect, but there were 3 in auto trader yesterday with 'adjustable steering wheels'

Probably a mistake - the seller either doesn't know his ZXs or has cut and pasted words from another car's advert

 

Richard :cool:

Thats all very well if your seats are adjustable but mine arent and I`m 6`2" and its a fookin nightmare lol

there was a guy selling a z on ebay the other day which he said was 400bhp

 

i asked him how much boost he was running and what controller/chip he was using and he said it was running 400bhp as standard!

I cant see the tops of my clocks with my seat adjusted as the top of the steering wheel is in the way!

I'm sure you can get a seat that will adjust somewhere - I'm 6ft 2in and with the seat adjusted correctly it's perfect.

Mine has Recaros which arent adjustable for height or tilt. I`m almost getting used to them apart from my knees hitting the steering wheel all the time. Although I am seriously considering taking them out and putting leather ones in. They also dont seem to go back quite as far as the standard seats.

Well, assuming there never was a standard adj. column for the z then I'm going to rip mine out and put something like a Mondeo or Granada one in. I can just about drive mine with the seat all the way down but I'll never be able to operate the clutch properly when I convert to manual, and as edk83 says I can't see the top of the instrument pod, which will be useless when I put the digital one in as one gauge is top, middle.

Will post later when I've fitted one, see what kind of nightmare job it was.
