Sadly not Andrew - there are a few cobbled areas, like in front of The Luttrell Arms, but the rest is just normal paving slabs.

Nice one Lee....!

Today I gave my Zed a wash, then got it back in the garage before the hail storm!! It was looking a little dirty after a little road trip - we took the Zed to North Somerset for the weekend.....😁

A belated happy birthday Lee - hope you had a great day mate!!

Thanks Jim. Great heads-up on the discs - I stopped using M tec a while ago as they just didn't last a year without warping. And I would definitely have come down to yours earlier, had I known about the caliper issue!

As per the "what did you do" thread I had to source a pair of replacement front calipers today, as mine have seized on the lower inner piston on both sides. After searching the 'net, I found a couple suppliers had them in stock. First being Torquen - albeit at over £600 for a pair for either cast iron or aluminium.. Then I found some fully rebuilt aluminium ones (the correct fitting for a TT) at less than half that, which got me thinking. Cast iron vs aluminium....?? Both seem to have their merits and drawbacks - the ali ones being much lighter, so less unsprung weight - whereas the iron ones allegedly handle the heat better, reducing the chance of disc warpage. If one believes everything one reads on the interweb LOL! Seeing as I don't track the Zed - and I am happy with the OEM set-up, when it works properly, plus I have a set of Brembo discs waiting to go on, as opposed to the Ebay ones I had previously, I thought the ali calipers would suffice. Opinions please - good or bad😁

Took mine to the garage today, to have new front discs and pads fitted - as the replacement discs I got fitted a year ago have also warped. This time, it was obvious that both calipers had seized - lower inner piston on each side! Naturally, they didn't bother fitting the new kit for me, as those discs would also go bad pretty quickly. Not to mention the pads would never squeeze in past the protruding pistons! So a quick search for some new or rebuilt calipers on the web ensued, and hopefully they will arrive on Tuesday - as the garage has rebooked me in on Friday 20th. Just in time for my next road trip😉

Wow - it doesn't seem that long......

Happy birthday for yesterday JP - hope you had a great day sir!!

Today, I did a coolant change..... It was at least a year overdue, so I flushed the system through then refilled with Bluecol antifreeze and distilled water. I'll keep an eye on the coolant level over the next few days as I'm sure it will need one or two top-ups! But now, looking inside the radiator, the coolant is a nice clear blue☺️

Hello and welcome to the club!

....And a great lesson on why you should never jack these cars on their sills!!!

....And the very best bit - the Late, Great Oliver Read owned a 300zx....... How cool is that (or would it have been, if it were true)?😁

Nice find Steve - and I seem to remember that Zed as well..... I'm sure I saw it at a few meets when I was a newbie, around 2003/4?

Looking good Tony!

Hello, good evening and welcome......👍

Happy birthday for yesterday Adam - hope you had a good day!!

Coming on nicely Rob.....!

Yup - seconded...!!

Thanks folks....! Just got home from the pub - we're enjoying the day with a drink or two....🍺🍷🥂

Awesome - my favourite Zed in the club just got better......🤩

Happy birthday for yesterday Jim - hope you had a good one mate!!

Hi Joel - and welcome back! This is the main relay - they are NLA from Nissan so it might be worth buying another to swap, just to confirm whether it's the problem.

Fingers crossed Steve......😁

Hi and welcome back..... ....And glad you prefer the forum format to the FB-group, it's nice to hear that!! I am sure you'll find the driving experience will live up to the reality. I never tire of driving mine; despite having owned new sports cars alongside my Zed over the years, the Zed still feels great in comparison and always puts a smile on my face. Good luck in your search for one - I'd say follow Jimmer's recommendation, if you want a nice one.
