Went into garage this morning armed with my notes on MOT & HID Xion headlights/washers info. Garage says the tester will pass it then! Had to have a steering gaiter fitted & for some reason my fog light wasnt working. I had new gaiter in my boot & a red bulb! So Im not the most popular customer to them at this moment! But thanks for all the positive info received:)

Its the same place I took it last year & it passed! They said the MOT changes came in last April. Thats a joke as my last MOT was in June 2015! So basically I have to except it? They said they can put normal bulbs in but that requires changing my fittings.

My Z failed as it has xion headlights! HIDs r fitted. They say the headlights need washers? Is this true?

Looks a nice clean Z. Must be like buying a house & changing the decor! Why buy an auto if u want a manual? Like changing the colour of a car? Probably just me!

Physiology just works the heart strings:)

Joel thanks for getting the Zeds out! A good line up of a few very nice Zeds which proves how rare we are! So good I took the zed out for a run today. Art

Photos good Joel, Sorry left early but Marsha & all not impressed with the weather! Not a good day for me! Arrive late, leave early! Good to meet all Z ders on the day. I did like the venue too!

Washed! Polished! Waxed for tomorrow's meeting But it's not this clean now!

Hi Si We have just come up from Folkestone to Chelsford Staying there for the night before heading to the meeting. The Z is absolutely filthy!!!!!

19 June is Father's Day ? My sons have booked a restaurant in london that day! So sorry Ben, Alec & all I can't make it! Art

I just went for a drive.

HI Richie I have a tt would take them for £50 + p&p? Bank transfer . Art213

Checked all connectors. TPS definitely not moved. Battery disconnected over night. Same problem have to put into 2nd for auto to engage & drive. I can then place into drive & gearbox changes up! Revs are still high too! At 1400 rpm in N & D with no uptake of engage when stopped! What's next By the way the z drives great only for this!

Thanks Stephen, I do seem to have upset the idle speed which is high. I have driven down to Lydd today in the Z. So when the z is moving from 2nd then into drive gears change fine. But if I stop I have to drop the lever down into 2nd. I will check the TPS but cant remember moving or knocking it! How do I clear codes? Disconnect the battery?

Having returned off holiday I got to grips with changing the power steering hose! Also replaced my 4 induction pipes. Now I place box into drive & it will not engage! Place into 2 it engages then if I move lever into Drive it engages normal! Auto diagnostic shows No 3 fault. Can changing the induction pipes cause this problem? No rattles or mechanical noises from the gear box & no issues before. I have checked the connections.

Renewed today & £14 cheaper than last year now £184.00 & they suggested I put a value of 6K on it. They require photos,mileage & work/mods carried out.

Welcome :)

Hi & welcome Mattyk, Ben started the thread for us in Kent & meet at blue water generally evenings for a few hours! Alic helps out a lot & keeps us all well informed. Hastings way is ok for me but maybe too far for some of the others. Art213 on the map!

The plan today is to replace my high pressure steering hose & put all the pipes back on. Then if dry go for a drive
