Coming on nicely Lee - NEC exhibitor this year, mate...??

Power steering just went away
I thought speed sensor too.... Common failure - the plastic cap comes loose and pops out. Simple fix is is to coat the cap in epoxy resin and push it back in - long term fix is a new speed sensor. Easy to replace, albeit a bit fiddly, but it can be hard to get access to the cable connector block, whilst the gearbox is in situ!

Chiltern Hills Vehicle Rally 17th May 2026
Hi Phil, Looks like it's just you and me this year! The show opens to the public at 10am, so I've always aimed to get in around 9 to avoid the rush. I didn't bother booking a club stand as I knew there would only be a couple of us, so we'll be in the 1990s car section. If we want to display side by side, I suggest meeting at Sainsburys Aylesbury Gatehouse at around 8.45 and drive in together. Post code HP19 8ED (90 Gatehouse Road). I'll PM you my number. Richard

Fun while it lasted
I agree with Stephen. Get your Zed to Jimmer for a proper diagnosis - and a fair quote for a good job well done. Jim is the UK's ZXpert and most of us trust no-one else with our cars.

Happy Birthday gray
Many happy returns Graham - hope all's well with you mate!

What did you do to your zed today?
Yesterday I replaced the air filter - then gave the Zed a clean and wipe down with Blazing Banana spray wax, before putting it back in the garage after using it as a daily last week. I always buy a universal K&N cone "dry" filter for about £40 on Ebay. It does a decent job and instead of cleaning it I just throw it away and replace every two years. I must have left the last one on a bit longer though, as it was pretty black and gungy 🫢

Chiltern Hills Vehicle Rally 17th May 2026
Nice one Phil - it will be great to meet you there! Bringing this one back to the top as it's only 5 weeks away now. It's a always been a good car show and hopefully the weather will be favourable.... So come on and get your tickets booked! We usually meet in Sainsbury's car park, Aylesbury Gatehouse - then drive in together. I'll post details nearer the time.

Nice......
Probably a US-spec imported into Europe. It has the square rear number-plate recess and no headlamp washers - which the EU-spec had, being the same a UK car, albeit LHD...... ...... and it's a SWB, which was never sold in Europe😉
-
Nice......
Yup - agreed....! Shame it's a LHD though - but definitely one for our European members to enjoy.

Happy Easter 2026!

UK TT Manual Project
Good call on the Fluid choices Rob.....😉 You won't need the extra litre of engine oil though - capacity is just under 4L with the filter change. Save that one for topping up, if you ever need to, that is!

Happy Birthday Craig
A belated happy birthday Craig - hope Nikk spoiled you on your day mate!! Richard & Julia

As long as you have the proof, you should be able to get a refund from UPS - as the goods were never delivered to the UK.

New To The Forum And Looking For New Challenges
Hi and welcome Andy - and good luck in your search for the right ZX!

What did you do to your zed today?
I haven't done anything today, but Friday evening, I cleaned out the throttle bodies. Then yesterday morning, I took the Zed out for my Saturday Sainsburys run, just to disperse the lingering carb cleaner left in the intakes. Not that I need an excuse for some (more) Z-pics under the car park lighting. LOL!!
