Petrol Flap Cable?
Check that the big piece of wire that the flap is hinged on is firmly in place at both top and bottom os the flap.... that happened to mine. It's easy enough to move it about with the end of a flat screwdriver and get it alighjned properly

How old were you?
Thanks stu.... I got mine 18 months ago so I'm 57 now !..... and 58 in June but my driving won't change ! Getting a Leather interior new knock sensor, Speed sensor check and then digital traction control. Trouble with so many young un's writing off zeds is they don't realise that the throttle is progressive, not just off or on ! The worse the weather and/or conditions the gentler and progreesively is how you've got to drive the zed. - Unless of course you're after an insurance claim against an assured value in these price depressed times !

How old were you?
I got mine when I was 56...... But I think age is just a state of mind, the number of years you've lived brings experience, and hopefull wealth and happiness An it's still the best toy I've ever had

When did you first fall in love with the zed?
When they first came out..... I was walking in Muswell Hill and saw the rear of a yellow one and thought it was a GT40 ! Went to have a closer look and fell in love with it then. Couldn't afford one Had a couple of 3 litre Capris and 2.8 one and eventually bought a brand new XR4 then a couple of Granada Cossies and now at last I've got a ZED ! At long last.... Best Toy I've ever had - LOVE IT

newbie question about local garages?
well.... I hate to say it but your best Zed garage is probably a jaunt across the A14 and up the M6 to Zedworld in Tamworth.... They are the best in the UK in my opinion

pipe hanging off, think its the boost solenoid
