hi all, ive had my zed tt for about 1 1/2 years now and this has never happened before, coming down a slip road today and booted it (auto, import, running on BP ultimate, straight through exhaust system) just about when the car kicks down the gears, wheel spin and then a few bangs and pops (backfiring), ease off the pedal, 5 mins down the road, try it agian and fine all the way home? I don't know if it hit the rev limiter or not but slightly concerned as to why this happend, can anyone shed some light on this for me? kind regards JIM :(

hi mate i live in hull? Jim

while where on the subject how do you bleed a zed, is it in the normal manner or do you have to bleed the whole abs system aswell, just asking because i want to flush the old out and put some new in, after all its been in there for 10 years! cheers Jim

hi have a jap import 91 and my fusebox is in english.

hi pete do you have a aftermarket exhaust? I have and the notes from both are not the same the drivers side sound flatter than the passenger side, and mine is running on all 6. cheers jim

reset the ecu? jim

i think they suit the zed really well!, good choice! jim

is there a write up anywhere on this? my luck would have me knacker the clocks cheers jim

hi greg, if i get chance this week, ill go and see him and let you know at weekend. Jim

thats where mine was, is'nt there something like peanut oil you can rub on the seals to make them swell??

hi greg, theres a interior trimmer near me who does all of the leather and vinyl etc called BARRS, what colour red is your car? Jim

right ill try to describe this one best i can, jap cars come into the uk with klm clock dials, the import guys remove the klm face, put a mph one on and attach a black box to the back of the speedo to calibrate it. The american zeds have mph speedo but only go up to 160mph (ours are 180mph) can we get one of those black calibration box's that attach to the back of the clocks that convert the uk 180mph to 160mph dial face??? the only reason i ask is that i bought some indiglo white face dials from the usa and they look fantastic in the car and are real good quality, the faces are in 160mph (i did know this before ordering but was prepared to ignore the clock face, there not to ''out'' until 70ish) hope that all makes sense :confused: Jim

mine did this all winter, but ok now, must be the warm (ish) weather.

hi lads, thanks for the help ill have a look at the little gizmo at week end, the electro magnetic thing i will look at too, they used to be real good, then all off a sudden they've gone crap! cheers jim

where's the electronic gizmo with the marble in? Jim

has no one had this problem?

hi both of my seat belts have gone strange, they used to retract fine when uncliped or when you turn the ignition off, they'd zip back, but know they just sit there and you have to feed them back in your self, WELL ANOYING! is there any sensor or something like that, that could have gone? seems strange that both have gone together. thanks very much Jim

welcome rsgill!! you'll find yourself always on here, and complelled to type and talk everyday of your life from here on! anyway, servicing i would expect 80% of the people on here do it them selves its very easy, have a good read through the online manual. insurance, alot of peolpe are with houghton they have a special rate for subscribed members, mine is £200 fully comp, (second car though) any questions no matter how stupid they may seem ASK!!! Jim

hi john i went outside after reading this post and listened for mine, and it was'nt working so i dropped it down and turned the ignition on, the fan moved once then stopped. I then completely removed it and cleaned it sprayed it and, the tiny screw in the centre, slackend it off (very tight) and it work's perfectly now never knew it wasn't working, now i can hear it spinning when you turn the ignition on. Jim

cheers baz, thats what i thought, but i did'nt know which are more accurate. cheers mate Jim

are mechanical or electrical gauges better? cheers Jim

my mate bought a supra from him, his names migel and he said it was the best car bying experience he's ever had!! Jim

I think i would proberly check PTU , if the small pins have corroded there could be a bad conection? Jim

does anyone know where you can buy, the chrome gauge pods for the 2'' dials or where to buy the under stereo one? many thanks Jim

sorry to hear that mate, that proberbly something you could'nt do if you wanted. JiM
