cam belt rollers??
i would change the rollers as they are probaly on there way out.and if one fails it could be costly.the traders on here can supply them cheaper than that.as for the vtc hubs,replace the springs under the caps as this is the most common cause of the annoying rattle from the valvetrain at 3000rpm.

Average MPG

Mounting the prop shaft baby!
try taking the prop off the diff flange move it round one bolt hole at a time till the vibration goes.a bit of trial and error but it can work.

Brakes again!
if the system has no air in it and the master is at fault.once you have rebuilt it put it in a bench vice and fill the resovoir.push the cylinder in and out till you get fluid out the ports.refit it to the car.loosen the brake pipes and get someone to apply the brake.tighten the pipe nuts and repeat like you were bleeding at the nipples.i have done this many times and it saves a lot of p**sing about.

wheel bearing
the cost and number i dont know.you may have to remove it for them to match.youll need a new seal and nut also.

Brake Bleeding Porblems
you could try back bleeding.get a new oil can,fill it with brake fluid and graft a peice of pipe onto the can nozzle.connect the pipe to the open nipple and squirt the trigger.watch the resovoir for bubbles.when the fluid level starts to rise all the air will be out.

Cheapest way to get KOYO rad?
the import duty varies greatly on the courier i find.my front mount kit import charges were only £37 with UPS yet a set of pistons from the states set me back £26 when delivered by parcelfarce.get the sender to mark item as sample and it should reduce the duty.under pricing the item on the shipping note is risky because if your parcel is lost the courier will only pay the stated value.HTH.

How long to you run your Zed before driving?
no shit.the worst thing you can do to an engine is let it idle for too long after start up.cold start or fuel enrichment can glaze the bores. :nono: .zeds will not allow full boost till till the ecu detects a safe engine temp.(as long as you still have waste gate solenoids). :smash:

Engine open, check this pistons
Carl is right the clean part of the piston is caused by atomised fuel cleaning the piston.the rubber build up on the idler is what happens when the belt was too tight as Mike said.
