You can use a 12v power supply, i have a bench one i use, but its fiddly testing all the dash leds as two of the 4 are on a different supply plug in the back of the dash, ie the temp and speedo will light by using probes on the bulb holder housing, but the other two wont, if you use the metal legs at the bottom of the dash that will only light the forward facing leds, so you can make up a little loom from some old dash plugs and wire up only the light feed feeds and connect to the power supply. I usually test each section on the bench when doing conversions then plug into the car to do a full test:thumbup:

He means your pics aren't showing again lol and this time even i cant edit it lol

For each pic Add at the end, ive done one for you lol

Decorsa CO53 HS, Hyper silver :thumbup:

I love the new wheels Lee, will set it off really nicely :thumbup:

Nice one Mike, glad you are getting there and well done for sticking at it, really nice zed in the end and will be a great example of what you can do with the determination and patience...........and money of course :thumbup:

Nice one Joel, what a great piece of media to add to our collection :thumbup:

My pulley also just slid off, but its not always the case lol, you might be lucky :thumbup1:

Basically you need to lock up the flywheel to stop it turning when undoing the crank bolt, take out starter and use a large screwdriver or pry bar into the teeth of the flywheel to stop it turning, alternatively can be done with an air impact wrench iirc Second method is to lock up the cams together with the belt still in place, there is a write up in the faq section by JeffTT

Happy birthday Ian, my how time flies, 20 already :thumbup:

Nice one Pete and look forwarding to meeting up again in the New year :thumbup:

Happy Birthday mate and glad to see you are still around :thumbup:

Happy Birthday Jon, have a great day

A bit overkill on the stand, our engines about 250kg so dont need it so big, but if you have the space then go for it. I bought one a few years ago and agree, the wheels on both the stand and hoist do make it hard to maneuver on rough concrete, i wished they used heavy duty rubber castors, like on flightcases :thumbup1: but i guess if the engine is on the stand for some time, then it would create a flat spot making it harder to move lol

Happy Birthday mate, have a great day :thumbup:

I had a friend of the family spray mine, so i prepped the and primed the car, took all the bits off, he painted it, we colour sanded, he compound and buffed. I supplied the paint, was £45 a litre and used 3 litres and he charged me £500 :thumbup: He did a great job, but as its been stood for a year under a car cover, i have some colour sanding and buffing to do and have some craze/cracks in the bumpers, so im going to re spray them myself in the workshop. It took him about 3 days to paint and another day of compound and polishing and putting back together. For what i paid i cant complain and as all the main panels are near spot on, im happy to re-do the little bits that i want right and will end up with a really good finish :thumbup1: It is by no means a perfect show finish, but it will be close and after nearly 4 years of being in primer i will be happy just to be able to polish her instead of rubbing down lol

Happy Birthday Trev, have a great day :thumbup:

Merry xmas to you both :thumbup:

Welcome to the club Adam, ive not seen that one before and personally wouldnt pay that much for someone elses idea of a modded zed, however getting a real low mileage virtually unmolested zed imported is another matter as i concur with my colleague above :thumbup:

I only noticed slightly better fuel consumption, ie on a long run more efficient, but general day to day, diddly :thumbup1:

Wow what a view eh, its been rainy and windy in the south for us :thumbdown:

Happy Birthday mate, hope all is well :thumbup:

Happy Belated Birthday :thumbup:

My current zed ive had for just over 8 years and the UK 2 years

You got that for £300? bargain :thumbup:
