Jeff replaced the drivers side manifold gasket on my old zed with the engine in place. He did a write up of it.

Gary Put me down, only Saturday this year. You also have Groover on the list twice.

For me it is the only that looks dated. All the others from the Z32 backwards have stood the test of time.

Thanks Si I have PM'ed Jimmer

I am doing some work on the interior of my car and the one thing I want to sort out is the automatic gear lever. It is way too big so want to change it. I don't want to convert to manual as I quite like the auto now. Any suggestions ? Would prefer something small and slim without too much bling.

As per the title, I want to replace my current stearing wheel for a standard one. Not to bothered about the condition too much as I want to send it to Mondo to do his magic, but would prefer the centre panel to be in good condition.

It says it has just had its MOT and passed ... :blush:

I see that this is now for sale on ebay...

Happy birthday Russ

They weren't at Silverstone today. We had a Typhoon doing a display instead. Just as good as the red arrows to be honest.

With the contract value and the price I paid for the Mondeo, if it only lasts a month I can jut get something else. Not ideal but gets the job done.

Well the original contract didn't happen in the end but I start a new one tomorrow in Cambridge which is only a 100 mile round trip. Still too much for the Zed as I don't want to put that many miles on it so bought a cheap Ford Mondeo 2.0 diesel. Not the sexiest motor in the world but it will do the job.

Been looking for one of these for a while, is it new? Where did you get it?

The guy I sold it to wanted it for a drift car and then realised there were no tracks within a 100 miles to do it on, so he sold it after a couple of weeks. As for the clocks, they have a convertor attached but I am 99% certain the mileage was not changed (before I had it) due to the MOT certs recorded mileage. As for mods, the only ones I remember are air filter, wheels, exhaust, HID lights and the manual conversion, everything else was standard when sold. From memory the two air pipes by the air filter were blocked off but cannot be sure. There was a crease at the back of the drivers side sill that was there when I bought it and I had filled when we welded up the sill for its MOT two years ago. Floor pan has also been welded under drivers seat.

That's my old Zed !!!!! I wondered when it would reappear ... I owned it from June 2008 until a year or so ago. It has different wheel on it now but everything else looks the same. I bought it just after it had the manual conversion but the gearbox whined a lot so I got a replacement and Zedworld fitted it. Jeff also did the Det sensor bypass, it was working when I sold it so resister must have failed. The person I sold it to said the engine was running rough and someone had told him it was an injector I think. I replaced the PCV valves in 2009 but it still smoked if left idling for 10-15 minutes unless you had the aircon on auto, Jeff had checked the manifolds and there was no oil so we thought it was because the PCV valves were US spec that had a slightly higher idle speed, so I just kept the aircon on. More than happy to give any history I can...

Love it !!! but no....

I think I have won a new contract which should be a nice long term engagement for my fledgling firm but will mean a 180 mile round trip each day. I use my Zed as my daily drive and although I know it will do the trip every day without a problem, I don’t want to pile that many miles onto it (not sure I can afford the fuel bill as well if honest!). So I am on the hunt for a new daily drive, capable of doing the mileage with ease and delivering me comfortably. I also want it to business owner, without being too flash or expensive. I am looking at £3000-6,000, any suggestions?

I am actually standing for election onto our Borough Council this year against 3 other parties. I have been a parish councillor for 12 years but this time as the other years we have not had enough people put their names forward to force an election. It has been an eye opener to the amount of work you have to do, I have been delivering leaflets and knocking on doors for months to cover the 7 villages the ward covers. Nervous as hell now and we have to wait until Saturday to hear the results !

ZCenter have them seem to fit well.

Congratulations Lee
