Hope you make the right choice in the end mate ;) , I would guess they are both fairly similar expense wise to own but no cup holders in a Zed as standard :cry:

I know that feeling, even once my car was in the body shop it took something like another 3 months to get sprayed then another couple of weeks work replacing all the lights and trim, but well worth it in the end.

The vibration sounds like worn prop bearings, spluttering when stopping is quite often PCV valves need replacing.

In my experience, waiting for new things like this takes months, especially as you are dealing with someone in a different country, if you have decided this is the bumper for you I would suggest getting it all sprayed in one go, my front bumper was sprayed a month after the rest of the car by the same person and there is still a slight difference in the shade of red.

I would have to agree that its a stupid thing to do and the mechanic should of at least given the option of fitting an aftermarket cooler, but, as in my case there is still a good chance the box was already worn and on the way out. Not making an excuse for him as its the argument he will use. Also these are not Ford Mondeo's, owners need to know about their cars and be able to check things are done as they should be, what the weak points are and sort them before they become a problem, take some responsibilty for the upkeep of the car and it will reward you with many years of happy motoring. Thats just my opinion, but rip me to shreads over it of it makes you feel better :p

When I got my NA I had an aftermarket cooler fitted within a month, the autobox went bang after about 3 years, in my mind it was the previous 13 years of driving with just the standard rad cooler that casued this.

There is too many to list but those ones stood out as I would buy them given half a chance, yours is another top buy though. ;)

There are different views on whats best, a polished plenum is cheaper to do but will need a buff up every so often, a chromed one will not need as much attention but will cost more to do.

The name is Richard ;) I want a plenum polished then chromed and possibly a PAS pot the same.

No rush, its more important to me that a top quality job is done.

If you find one I have some work I want done so maybe we can get it cheaper as a job lot.

Someone is going to be busy, what headers have you got there? will be interesting to see what you think once they are on.

Any potential buyers at the moment have hit the market at just the right time it seems, we have James300, peach, chunk and now dipone selling up, these cars are all awesome and deserve their asking prices if not more. Good luck with your sales to all of you :bow: .

I was there when he was in tears in 2000, and watched him when he raced round Assen in 2002 with a sanitory towel in his helmet because of Bells Palsy and a broken foot (watched his crew carry him onto the bike as he couldnt walk) truely well deserved win from one of the UKs hardest grafters.

:shock: :shock:

Hello Matt and welcome, as a general rule 20 mpg is an average, it has been talked about a lot though, if you put mpg into the search bar you can see all the threads for yourself.

Well I am chuffed to bits, been following Walker for 10 years now and I watched him win his first WSB race this morning. For the last few laps I was shouting at the TV like a madman, I did think about going to Assen for this race but decided not to because of work commitments, wish I had though, I would have been streaking along the track I was so happy .......

daves new ZX = Daves_Zed daveszx is someone else but he might want some as well :D

ok ok, you and that Craig David fella have won for now, but I'll be back (arnie accent)

This calls for the big guns, I am bringing my George Foreman lean mean fat grilling machine, and when that baby snaps shut it can cause a right nasty nip on the digits.

haha, thats a first then, I can be a man and say it to your face before I attack you with my mildy warm potato masher. :nana2: :nana2:
