ZX specialist around Heathrow west london area??
Hi Harms, This is the only place I know - I have never used them myself, but my (former) local garage in Gerrard's Cross used to sub-contract some of his more specialist work to them: http://www.powerengineering.co.uk/ If Gio has recommended someone, then you can certainly rely on his testimony; otherwise you are going to have to make the trip to JeffTT or Jimmer.

giving up smoking.
Never smoked myself; so never had to give up - hence I have no idea just how hard it could be.... ...But all I will say, is good on you for taking the steps to give up. Stick at it mate - maintain your willpower and do not give in to temptation. You should certainly be healthier - and will definitely be wealthier; so good luck buddy!! Richard:clover:

high load or not high load tyres
I'd have thought high load - the car weighs upwards of 1,580kg when stationary and the down-force exerted at high speed would necessitate an XL load rating..... .....My SLK requires an XL load rating (92 I think) and that's some 200+kg lighter than a ZX at rest - although at full speed, who knows! High performance tyres, in wider widths, with speed ratings of W, Y or Z would most likely all be of high load rating, I'd have thought... Richard:cool:

Hardwiring a USB charger
Me neither; the circuit for the cig lighter will easily take it...... .....Great idea Lee - even better than butchering a charger!

Timing Belts
Agreed......:shock: And it definitely goes to show that unless you have had the belt changed yourself, or know for sure when it was last done, you need to get it looked at!!! It might cost you a few hundred pounds; but that is cheaper and less hassle than requiring a new engine!! Richard:cool:

oil pressure
Pardon my intrusion, but as cold oil is thicker, should that not say "more viscous?" As in "Honey is more viscous than water, since it is thicker.....?" Richard:shifty:

My next project :D
Great idea Daz - and with the sad number of Zeds being broken for spared, you should easily be able to source the bits mate....:wink: Another great idea - how cool would that look in the living room!! Wife might take some convincing though....:biggrin:
