Yeah I think that was the stuff! I usually use castrol magnatec but im sure iv read that it can cause noisy lifters?? so dont want to use that!

I posted a while ago on what oil I should use for my zed I was told to email opie oils which I did and they recommended an oil but when I spoke to Paul at SWZ he said not to use it so im asking for more advice! I have a uk tt which has covered 102000 miles but I want something that thats thickish because I have noisy lifters and have had for 2years! lifter treatment doesent work! any advice would be great!

Im sure the reason to high revs when fan is on is due to the aircon pump doing the work? but the ECON button should drop the revs back down when the fan is running which will save a bit of fuel in the end!

Cant say im clued up on these zeds but could be something to do with the idle control valve? thinks its at the back of the plenum on the right next to batt? blocked or something? or maybe you can just adjust the idle some how? im sure someone on here will get to the bottom of this??

Your revs should be about 850rpm on tickover? the revs will jump up when fan is on try pressing ECON button that will drop the revs when fan is on think the high revs are something to do with aircon pump being used until you press ECON button?

I had to replace mine cost me £90 from Paul at SWZ.

Hope you sort it soon mate!

I know that the three wires goto the ignition plus the 1 to the ground, theres 2 white ones the one with the brown stripes must be handbrake? the other I dont know? which comes from the key lock adapter and the grey must be the ECU wire? wherever that connect to on ECU I dont know??

Iv been trying to find any info on the net about this turbo timer but there is nothing I think I know where most wires go? but there is still a white and a grey wire that I have no idea about? any advice???

Hello mate try a diagnostic test on your ECU I had similar problems and found it to be the MAF sensor.

Hello mate! I nearly drilled one out last week with a cordless drill and seemed reasonably easy until the batt died! Im going to put nuts and bolt in as it will be alot easier! seem to have a good amount of room under there so fingers crossed I will have them on in a few hours??? and hopefully no smoke!! thanks for the advice again mate!!

Cheers Groover! I will have a good read a bit later when iv picked the kids up from school!!

Will soon find out mate!!!

Hello I have had this FET360 turbo timer for about a year now but never got around to rigging it up and have no idea how to! Originally it was out of a nissan so probably strait forward to wire up??? Theres a small white plug with a yellow, red and white wire connected to it, Theres 4 other wires which are black, white, grey and white with brown lines any ideas where these go?? Heres some pics so you can see what im on about! Any help would be great!

Hello all! Im going to decat my zed at some point this week I tried last week but the bolts from the manifold downpipe that connects to the cats just snap! So got to drill them out and replace. Can anyone tell me what size these bolts are? and which type I need to get? Cheers in advance!

Cheers mate!!

Where do I contact oilman???

I have done a quick search but found nothing that may be good for noisy lifters? but I will try oilman!

I might change the engine oil on the zed this weekend its a 91 tt I usually use castrol magnatec and want to use something different? coz I have noisy lifters and I have read on here that the magnatec can make your lifters noisy?? I dont want to spend stupid money on oil as the cars standard apart from stainless but would like something that might ease the lifter noise? Wynns lifter treatment doesent work so hopefully different oil may help? Any advice would be great and how much oil will the engine take??? Cheers.

I dont have such tools!!! Theres little room to do anything but as the bolt is so soft a lump hammer and chisel may well do it? or better still I have a few nut splitters one of those should cut through bolt??

Its def welded in there well! I gave it a good beating good idea to cut off flat! save drilling an inch! Drilling seem the best way. Def a fiddly job not so bad with speedo out to get to the top of bolt just got to cut a hole in dash behind speedo!

I could possibly get an electric drill from the top behind the speedo but would need to drill through the dash to get to it which would be ok because that part of dash is behind speedo. I tried a lump hammer and screw driver with alot of force and that dident work! Not sure how much thread there is left on bolt but may well get two nuts on there if there thin enough? But then that would probably snap the bolt again?? Cheers for your help mate!

Hello all was hoping to MOT the zed on thursday! But... the steering wheel moves from left to right about quarter of an inch so thought I would tighten up the bolts around steering column which I did and then 'bang' snapped one off by this time I was pretty pi**ed off!! the bolt that snapped is spot welded to some sort of metal frame, I have some pics but any advice how I can get it out?? I have tried screw driver and lump hammer but it wont move, I have the speedo out but still need room! I think the zed knows Im tempted to sell her or this damn bitch wouldent of snapped on me!!! hers some pics I just wiped pc so no paint shop but the bolt is behind the ignition barrel next to the silver V shape piece of metal!

Hello! mines a uk tt so belts in the usual place! So basically most car seats would fit in? they also fit in there really tight and dont budge a bit.

Mine started this only noticed it a few weeks ago with the inside down to the wire and looked like you used a cheese greater! so I blamed the garage that done my tracking! but that was ok when I had it checked, so changed the wheels around back to front seems as it sorted the problem!!
