Maybe I'm over reacting but......
Yes I know I offered to do a deal with a couple of people but when they discovered it was in york the said transport costs would kill it

What I'm saying is the lack of parts for sale from Jan's zed and the the theft of another linked ?

Maybe I'm over reacting but......
Well, the wreckage of Jans 98 zed was classes as cat B and sold last Thursday. I've been scouring ebay to make I source the things people have been asking for to get in first and make sure I can get them. But Nothing. It seems to have disappeared into thin air by whoever bought it But Then, another zed is stolen of a drive..... and as someone said why steal parts if you can steal a whole car ? Knowing what damage I did to Jan's, and I've still got aches and pains from it, I hope no one is trying to get it back on the road They may be wanting to modify the one that was stolen and repaint it ......

Jan was insured with Diamond, Part of the Admiral group with me as a named driver. Only problem is as I was driving on HER policy and she didn't have protected no claims they've knocked her NCB down to 3 years

Result !
Well, Finally had a call from the Insurance today They've given us the full £6,000 it was insured for ! That was after two weeks of telling us they were having trouble valuing it ! They said There only two on Pistonheads and a few on on ebay but none with the low miles or a 98 model Version R they could base their valuation on. But as we'd got all the service history, all the records etc they agreed the full insurance value. so RESULT !

Main Beam White LED H1 Bulb Fitment
Only 3 each side lol ! Yes fogs are really good I got slagged off first time I put up a post about HIDs in foglights but they cut through fog at a low level and reflect off the white lines so they're actually better than bog standard. And with HID Headlights just give them a flash when you start off and the Ballast will hold the charge for an hour two so it will flash immediately and then be recharged from that flash I must have a look at my window switches when I get the zed back and see if there is a bulb holder there !

Main Beam White LED H1 Bulb Fitment
Jeff Fitted them for me The came with an adapter for fitting to the ZX They were about £50 (but that was after a set we got had a failed power supply) Ebay Item http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281080321560?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D281080321560%26_rdc%3D1 I think the Fogs have got an adapter as well The adapter if I remember correctly is a piece of Heat Resistant plastic that connects the bulb and mounting on the headlight and the different power supply I think the original cheapo set had them as well It might worth bunging Jeff a PM to see if he can get them or where they came from ?

Main Beam White LED H1 Bulb Fitment
HIDs in main beam are what I've got on the green zed. And if you give them a quick flash when you set off it control box stores enough to be able to flash them without the srtart up pause Incidentally, I've had HIDs in the fog lights as well and they work really well When i use dipped and main it looks really good and with the fogs on as well it's astounding, Nearly as good a patch of daylight !

Investing cash - anyone bought a franchise?
If you buy a property a to let and improve it, all the improvements are allowable against tax. If you budget from those savings, it offsets the capital gains if you ever sell it.
