Worth repairing/replacing front bumper before selling?
Hi mate, No not currently. Don't really have the time so would rather just sell it off cheaply. It is on Ebay starting at £2800. If someone got it for that, and then went down the route of a new bumper, they could get a new 99 spec bumper fitted and still not have spent £4000. Will just have to wait and see what happens. If it doesn't sell, then maybe might do something. Cheers

Worth repairing/replacing front bumper before selling?
Hi everyone, Stupidly, I managed to drive up my driveway and got a bit too close to the house, and hit the front bumper on the doorstep. Pictures below in the attachments. The bumper sheared through the bolt on the driver side where it attaches to the wing. I managed to push the bumper back in but it's not really held in with anything where it joins to the wing. I was planning on cleaning it this weekend and putting it up for sale. However, now that I have damaged the bumper, I'm not sure if I should just sell it as it is and reduce the price, or get it repaired, or get a new bumper, and then sell. My preferred choice is to sell it as it is. I reckon a new bumper will be needed so this would give the new buyer the choice on what bumper to go for. Any advice on the sort of price I should be putting this up for as it is would be great. Or is it likely that nobody's going to buy it unless I get it sorted first? Cheers Colin

Front Suspension squeaking
Hi everyone, I need some help with my suspension. It has suddenly started squeaking from the driver side whenever the car is moving. If you have the bonnet up and push down on the right hand side, it will also squeak, so I think this rules out it being the bonnet latches. A couple of weeks ago it had 2 new front steering rack tie rods put on. The company had also ordered in some Ikeya Formula upper arms, which they fitted, but took off again as the camber was completely out with them on and couldn't be adjusted, so they said they cleaned up my existing upper arms, got some new bearings for them and fitted them again. I am very confused though, as I thought I already had SPL adjustable upper camber arms, and adjustable lower tension rods. Are the front steering rack tie rods the same thing as lower tension rods? I have taken a picture of what I think is the upper arms, only because it looks very similar to the adjustable upper arms pictures on Smithy's place. Could it be that I now have adjustable upper arms but not adjustable tension rods, and this is causing an issue? I really don't know much about suspension and what part is what. If any one can help it would be much appreciated, as if I already had these adjustable parts, I want to know why the garage told me I needed all these new parts. Cheers Colin

WiFi networking problems - advise requested
Hi Dan, Does your router have the option of only allowing access from pre specified MAC addresses? If so, you may have this setting turned on, in which case you need to add the MAC address of the laptop to the allowed addresses. Other than that, I would say its an encryption issue, and as Rat2611 has suggested, I would disable the encryption just to rule out if that is the issue. Cheers Colin

Red SWB SLICKTOP REIGATE ?!?!?"!?
Hi mate, Sounds like it may have been me, but don't remember any body flashing. Must have been half asleep. Probably would have noticed if you were in the ZX though. I've seen 1 in just under a year. :)

Hurrah!
Nice one with the parking space! I park about 15 minutes walk from Reigate in a residential road. Saves money, get a bit of exercise every day, added to the fact that there is no way my car would get into the multi storey car park.

Hurrah!
Congratulations. What company you working for in Reigate, only because I work in Reigate as well?

Brake hose with big brake kit
Cheers everyone. Will take it back to where I got it fitted and just ask them to either bend the piping to fit, or make up a new bit of piping. Hopefully shouldn't cost too much.

Brake hose with big brake kit
Hi everyone, My car has failed the MOT due to the following reason. The same failure also on the offside front. The car has the big brake kit from Smithy fitted with the Goodridge braided hoses. I have taken a couple of pictures. I am presuming that the hose previously passed through the hole indicated by the red arrow in the first picture. With the calipers moved further away now, it looks like the pipe doesn't reach to that routing point anymore, so it hasn't gone through it. Is this correct, or is it possible for it to go through that point, or do I need to get some new brake piping from the caliper that's longer so that it will reach to the routing point? Any advice much appreciated. Cheers Colin

Ebay Z, i like the design!!
Have to agree, the wheels are stunning. Not a fan of the rear of the car, but the front is good. If I'm not mistaken, that's the same front bumper as mine. :cool:

Your zed- an every day car?
Also in the everyday crew. I didn't pay all that money for the car and insurance to leave it sitting in the drive :cool:
