I check the oil, water and levels every other week. Give it a good wash when its dirty and polish at least once a month. Its got to the stage that there is so much polish on it, even when its mucky it just washes off. I do and oil and filter change every 3-4 months. Just general maintenance. Look after the zed and it will look after you. If i could stop spending cash on tyres it would be a bonus, as most of the rubber is stuck on the local roundabouts Mine is a UK TT Manual, tiny bit of rust on one of the rear arches, but it passed its mot first time. Starts, purrs, and pulls as it should.

This will also help.

Last year we had some good meets,its about time we sorted some more, Can we get enough interest to do one soon as the weather is getting better. Ideas...... Virginnia Water - always a good meet, good parking and a few beers Boxhill to Brighton run - Not done for a couple of years but has been superb in the past. What about a day at Thorpe Park, meet up then do a day at the park, few rides then later for some food.(as the new SAW ride opens in March) Any other ideas Come on, lets get something sorted. Stu

Yes you are first.........It claims that it could go 500bhp, if making claims as such why not list down what it has got

Welcome mate, dont be affraid to ask anything, weve all done the same, but you will gain loads of knowledge. Its a good laugh on here, and we are all ok (well most of us):wack:

I let you in front of me at Angmering today on the A259, i was in my black UK TT gave a flash and a nod to each other, then a little zoom, i had to turn off, not seen you before, you must be very local.

True gaz, the tyre is shagged, but my pal Sean is one of the best welders i know of, he builds race car chassis for the guys at the local racetrack, plus does a bit of stainless pressure tank welding. He really knows his stuff, but the wheels are far too rare to try and locate a spare, ive got to give it a try.

Al, get these via driftworks. 25mm hubscentric, bolt directly onto existing hubs, and are far superior to others, not cheap but def the best. Ive got them as have a few others.

Over the last couple of weeks, one of my tyres has been losing pressure, 10psi every other day, i kept pumping the tyre up, but decided to remove the wheel to investigate. Firstly the damage caused by driving a on a wheel with less than 20psi in. Put a screwdriver in tear to show the depth. This is the cause of the air loss, This is on the inside rim of the wheel, does anyone know if this can be fixed, ive got a mate who welds for a living. Just as a warning, keep a check on your tyre pressures, because this could have shredded itself, dont want to think about what would of happend at speed. Stu

John you should have popped in for a cuppa mate, did the wing work out????

Good to hear Si, the zed helps ease the mind. Was also out all day with the tops off enjoying the sun at last, done all my last money on fuel, but there is enough for more fun today. Payday on wednesday.

why ? why? why? do that to your zed :slap::slap: "The car does had slight exhaust leak on near side of exhaust pipe" Im not suprised, its got bits of a jumbos landing gear on it.:xxx::xxx: Remove all the dam spoliers.

Im still doing all my own mods, this in the most recent one, As we all know the headlight adjusters on the zeds are pants, having seen other threads re how to fix, this is my input The main adjusters are plastic and usually have snapped, making it hard to adjust the lights These are my driving lights adjusters, there are 2 adjusters to control up/down and left/right on each light, firstly remove the 2 screws to access the diff gears Once removed, using a flat blade screwdriver, prise the diff gear off both the light and the one in the plastic housing where the 2 screws were. Using this kit, a Tamiya r/c diff kit item number 50602, using the two larger metal gears only, replace them where the plastic ones were, i found using a 12mm socket and a hammer, gently tap onto the shafts, its a tight fit but it does go on. You have to do both in metal as the old plastic ones wont work with metal ones. Do both the rear of the light and the shaft These took me less than 15 mins to do each light, the gears are metal and work perfectly, i used a bit of silicone spray on the threads to assist using the adjusters Each pack of gears has two metal gears, i needed a total of 4 packs to complete both sets of lights. The end result. This cost me less than £20 to do for both lights, While the light were off, i resprayed the metal black that secures the glass rubber, and sealed the glass with some black silicone. A cheap and easy fix to sort your headlights out, give it a try. Huge thanks to Dan at DTA for sourcing the bits, kept me informed and updated. Cheers mate. Stu

Nutters, they make the rules up as they go...........:duffer:

The turning circle would be a must, trying to do a 3 point turn in a slim road is like mooring a battleship. Quickest way is to turn full lock, hit the go go pedal and swing the back round in one.:dance:

:rofl: sssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, dont let my secret become common knowledge, besides its never been prooved in a court of law.:tongue:

Show off!!!:rofl:

Good to see you again mate, glad to be of help, curry was superb except the stella had hit me, ive got to slow down on the stuff. When the engine is out i will get the other stuff off. My next door neighbour said it was nice to see 3 zeds outside as they looked beautifull and have a nice grumble, shes 82.:hyper:

I have the zed i want now and its part or the family, it dosent owe me any money, as i got it for a bargain and do all the workon it myself. It past its MOT first time, and everything works as it should, plus its one of the last UK TT Manuals made. Well and truly staying with me.

Good you James for selling, i know it must have been hard to let it go, dont disappear. wouldnt be the same if you dont pop up here or at meets, even ifs its in a smart car or your new import. Besides who can me a silverbullit get all exicted about burning mercs about. Stay in touch mate, i hope the new owner looks after her. Stu

Me too,put me down, just under 2hrs from me, Plus i like Dorest roads.

Another zed, this time dark blue, L or K reg heading towards Worthing 8am this morning, not seen you before, i was in a transit, flashing. First thought it was Drive By, but then noticed you were blue. Nice and clean, i will see you again and get you on here.

Looking great Jimmy, best two tone colours that go together, similar to Uno's old one. Looks the nuts mate.

Just watched this today, Get smart, very funny film, well worth watching:hyper:

Looks good seeing zeds standing out from the crowd, is thats Munny's??
