Very touching. Best thing I've watched tonight; Just got Strictly come dancing'd, should of watched this in slow time. Cooool garage to store the Zeds.

Thanks again. Hoping Santa will get me this for Chrimbo; I'll go and ask her!

Cheers all. One peice it is.............where do I get one?

Ello all, Is there a difference in propshafts between the models? Will one off an Auto fit a Manual? Also is it worth getting a one peice prop, I've heard mixed things??? Cheers:tank:

Very good, just glad it's not down my road!!!

^^^^^^It has defo been manipulated. The pixels around the tyre are a different size to the photo, resolution is all wrong. Good attempt though.

Can't wait to see this when it's finished. Simply an inspirational thread exibiting pure comittment. Well done.

Well done. Jeff to the rescue again. Look forward to some pic's.

Well done Peter. Welcome to the club; any help and advice you'll find it on this site. Tony.

^^^^Same roughly, £196, 6000 limited miles, fully comp. Post office. Funny thing is, when I had an old escort bangar to run around in,1.3, it cost £430 same insurance with the post office.

Cheers for the help all. Zedworld is still very tempting though; all I have to do is convince the mrs that investing more money into Zed 6 months before our wedding is the right thing to do! Ermmm, or i could just spend some of the wedding fund and get it sorted............or spend all of it!!!...wow, i'd certainly own a cool Zed then, i'd have no balls......but i would have a nice manual car.lol.

Yes mate, pop over and have a brew. 07989 471840. Bring ya Zed because I need your gearbox.

Rich; Ahh of course they did, numb nut. Ta

Hello me old mate (Alanz). I have eventually returned from that awful place, although I must say that it was the best summer for weather I have had in a long time 50 degrees+. How's tricks? Groover; Cheers matey, you are a star.

Thanks^^^^You are all right. Maybe its time for the plunge. Is there a how to guide on here. Tried the search but to no joy. Cheers

Hi Aaron, would love to mate but £1650 is a lot of dosh to part with. You could always leave your beast around here for a day.lol.

Hi all, Can someone tell be if an autobox off a 96TT will swap over into a 90TT. Also my autobox has the hold/power switch as it is an import, if the donar car is a UK spec and dosen't have this switch can the gearbox still be fitted but without the function of the switch???? Many thanks. Tony

With your car reving around 2000-2500rmp the alternator should output at around 13.5 to 14.5V. If it is less than this you may have a diode breaking down in the alternator. Still strange that it has only happened post having fitted your Hids.

Were these the Voltage readings when you had the lights on? Was the battery under load?

Well done, the old girls are not done yet. I will look forward to getting this. Anyone fancy sending me a copy to the desert when it comes out, please feel free.

Silicone will hold it, but you will never get it off again.

Get the wheel bearing Rob and take it to MT. A packet of hob nobs/crate of bear, not that hard to do, sounds step to me.

Just to let you know that if you coat the black with lacquer for protection, you will end up with a gloss/shiney black car. There are special matt/satin proffesional paints on the market that are more resistant to chip etc. Something else to take in to consideration is that you will have to be careful washing and cleaning the car. If you need to remove insects/marks etc, you could actually polish the matt paint surface away as you rub/polish. This is the hardest paint to maintain looking good. A slight brush up against a hedge or something and you will be left with a nice 'chalky' mark. Vinyl seems like a safer option.

Good to hear from ya matey, thought you were giving up on the old girl???? Not much going on in the region at the moment. I know Coolq and Gonzo get together from time to time, worth keeping an eye on the regions threads.

Its all held together with Jubilee clips matey and yes the odd bolt on the plenum.Remove the 4 soft pipes first and work backwards toward the turbo's.
