Thinking about these for the Zed. Any comments ?? Alan.......

Not a lot left to say really. Well made up for ya mate ! :bow: :cool: Alan.........

:smash: :tongue: Be good fun to meet you mate ! See you next Sunday ! ;) Got a few plans for mine, so watch this space, as they say ! Alan. 18 " alloys eh ! Pah ! ;)

Nice mate, very nice. This is how they should be kept. :bow: Hope its not a serious problem. Alan...

If you need a superduper sticky double sided tape that sticks anything to anything, give us a shout mate. We use stuff on refrigerated trailers that you need to use excessive heat to remove ! :eek: Can post you some over if you are stuck ! Alan...........

Should just clip on. My last Zed had a few broken clips, so I was advised to put a small dab of Silicone or instant gasket on it to hold it in place till I got it fixed properly. Alan...

Does this mean I got it right ?? :bow: Whoo hoo !! :dance: Alan...

It happened on my last Zed, intermittently, no warning, just when it felt like it. Started to happen a wee bit more often and I noticed a slight drop in performance at the same time. Long story short, turned out to be an intermittent coil pack. Changed the coil pack and it never happened again. Could stand to be corrected here, but I reckon on the times the coil pack didnt spark, unburnt fuel went into the cat and ignited there. Causing overheating. Could have been coincidence I suppose ?? :confused: Alan.

X Files. Alan.

To say you will be excited, could be an understatement !! :) Alan.......

Cat overheating warning lamp I believe ! Alan..

Brilliant, excellent, topman!! :rolleyes: Trust you to turn up with a nice freshly painted Zed and I`m turning up in my 2-tone red one, written off, with a bump in the back !! :( Dont park next to me, will make mine look even worse ! Could always just bring the Vectra and a photo of mine ?? :x: :rofl: :rofl: Alan.

Will probably get pelters for this, but dont turn the Chavs away ! :x: Young lad up here has a Corsa with the Vectra 2.5 V6 in it !! How on earth can you put the power down ?? Must be fun tho !! Alan.........

Yup, thats an easy one !! 350ci, auto in this one. Alan.......

Yup, thats an easy one !! Alan.......

Take time and go through the small print in yout insurance documents. Found this paragraph in mine ! IF YOUR VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS/BEYOND REPAIR: It is common practise for the third party insurer to arrange to inspect your vehicle. Your vehicle will then be assesed and you will be informed of its pre-accident market value, less the salvage value. This may be lower than your valuation placed for insurance purposes. You are only entitled to claim the pre-accident market value, less the salvage, which means its value at the time of the accident. If you do not agree with the valuation placed on your vehicle, it is your resposibility to provide evidence to support your own valuation. Regional trends may affect the valuation of your vehicle. We recommend you obtain local advertisements for similar vehicles, a description of your own vehicle conditionand any additional accessories purchased. It would also be helpfull to provide us with the original purchase receipt, current MOT and registration documents, with an indication of the registered mileage at the time of the accident. So matey, A nice letter from someone in authority indicating how good your car was, a few copies of Zeds from the Autotrader, a well known and respected publication !! :x: List all you accessories etc and it may get you a few sheckles more. A word of warning tho, make sure any accessories you list, the insurance know about already, if you know what I mean !! ;) Hope this helps coz I typed it all out with the one fooking finger !! :) Alan.........

Thats the spirit ! :bow: :cool: Alan.......

Only with a big bonnet bulge !!! High motor ! Alan.....

One thing in your favour mate, you are a doo`er ! :bow: Some people talk about "doing" things, and some people, just "do" things ! You "do" it rather well ! :) Maybe would have to consider other applications ? Mid mounted MR2, Rover V8, coupled to a Renault 3.0ltr transverse box. If theres enough room, you can fit anything to anything, nearly ! Might be worth considering mate. Some people will spend ludicrous amounts of money to get what they want, and if you arent limited to nights and weekends, it will get done quicker ! Just my tuppence worth. Alan.............

Apache; Wanna keep it loads ! :) Stellaz; What year is your car, mines is a 1990. Hellraiser; It aint a show car ! Yet !! ;) Fastredz; http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=64236&referrerid=3590 Would suspect yours is worth a bit more than mine mate. They valued it at £2,800 minus £600 salvage Alan............

Insurance contacted me today, regarding my damaged Zed. The deal offered was; Category "D" write off, Get to keep the car, Amount of cash, minus salvage and Excess = £2,200. What do you think ?? Alan......

:cry: Alan.

She was insured under a Classic & Collectors policy, with the right to retain the salvage in the worse case scenario. So should be able to get her back. Already been on to them to make sure she is put in the lightest category for write offs there is. My mate bought his back and had to go to a VOSA testing station where they really went to town on it. Was a first class repair though, so it sailed through. Car still drives ok, and it is sitting up my drive, not in some dodgy yard that charges an arm and a leg for storage ! Alan...........
