Starter motor
Hi Colin You could give Andy Z a ring first to see if he has one. Find his No in the traders forum. Just one idea. Arthur.

headlights
Hi You could do a search on the forum. Or you could try PIAA bulbs I tried changing bulbs, no change! These PIAA bulbs H3 give 85w of light off 55w If you change to 100w bulbs I am lead to believe they blow, because in the headlight space they over heat & blow. The PIAAs cost £30.60 + VAT + P&P total around £40 for pair. They do make a difference! You need H3 Platnum White part no HE271/ECB1 but check first. They have own webb site, but have to buy via a dealers Hope this is of use. Arthur.

how much for a tt engine?
Hi Mat Second hand tt engine 1k-2k depends on amount of milage its done. Are you doing this at home or asking a garage? The reason for asking is cost! You could be faced with a 3k-4k bill. Thats engine+ labour. You could buy another Z for that! There are several options for you to think about, A: Find a part on the webb. B: E+Mart mag recon engine half or full. C: Rebuild engine. D: Torque IC Ashford 01233-637333 spk to Justin. There are more options but it depends on cost in the end. I was faced with this 2 months ago. Good hunting Arthur

I hate my Zed!!!!!!
I very much doubt the shells you fitted were faulty Mat. Why did you change them? I ask because I could have replaced my shells & hope for a quick fix. But if the problem is say oil pump you are still heading for disaster! I know you can change the shells without taking the engine out & the cost is a few hundred pounds. To take the engine out you are looking at a considerable cost!! LOL Arthur

I hate my Zed!!!!!!
Sorry to hear about your Z Mat. Had to replace my engine last month due to a big end failure! Not that I am a mechanic but if the chaps on the forum are to assist you they might need to know more details like, is it still running, is the knocking sound worse on power or there all the time, is it on tick over ect. I know its not easy but I think thats the thing they will want to know lol! Dont run engine and cause more problems though! Arthur.

centre brakelight
I did ask this Q before! Will someone tell me the best way to wire this up as my W/loom appears not to have a connection for a centre brake light. Do I crimp onto my rear brake lights & place an in line fuse on the live side if so what size fuse 15amp?

poly bushes
Ah got the feeling that I could be being watched! Poly bushes arrive. Two bushes, two small sachet's of white stuff! Direct from Z centre great! Got press, great! Get old bushes out great! New poly bushes how the f**k do they go in there! Ah! Slap this white stuff around the edge of the bush (thicker than treacle) to be pressed into tension rod & press in! There are no instructions in the box! why not? Now, I am putting them back on the car Saturday, my question is what grease do I use on the tension rod bolt?? The guy charged me £10 to press out old bushes & press in new ones, thought that was good & gave him £20!! Then tells me he owns a taxi company!!! Arthur

big orrible tyres
I have Continentals on mine, they are okay. Problem I believe soft tyre good grip- low milage! Hard tyre more miles not too much grip! Higher milage? Do we have a so called specialist on this? Or is this just trial & error!! Arthur
