Really want it back as when I bought it, just over 2 months ago, she recently had a re-con auto box, 2 new turbos and a few other hefty bills on her. Some one has also fitted a leather interior !! Only needs another rear bumper, and a repair to the back panel. Not even a broken rear light ! Have to wait and see what they come up with. Just removed the Cats and fitted 2 stainless steel back boxes 2 nights before the accident ! :rolleyes: Alan.........

As above ! :( Insurance assesor came out yesterday and gave it the once over. Contacted me today, car is a total loss. Will have to wait and see what they offer, with or without salvage value. Bummer ! :( Wheres the malt ?? :rolleyes: Alan........

I thought he was talking about the big bloke in the Bond films ?? :x: Alan.........

Get right up someones arse, In the car I mean !! :nono: Sit behind them for a wee while, looking menacing, aint too hard in a Zed ! Then as you listen to Carmina Burana by Carl Orff, Blast by them at the Omen bit !! :) Or the Old Spice bit, depending how old you are !! :rolleyes: Failing that; Whole lotta rosie, ac/dc. I live for the weekend, Triumph. All dressed up and nowhere to go, Gary Moore. Last gasp measure in a traffic jam; Its 5 o`clock somewhere, Alan Jackson & Jimmy Buffet !! :) Maybe I am strange tho ? :( Alan...........

Hope you are as lucky this Saturday, as I was with my Zed 2 weeks ago ! Headlamp out of line and that was it !! :) Good luck Auld Yin !! :x: Alan.........

Good on ya mate ! :cool: When I bought my 1st one a few years back, it needed a cylinder head and a turbo. Not a mechanic by trade, but went ahead and tackled it myself. It is still running like a dream !! Wouldnt have been possible without this site tho !! :bow: Good luck, Alan.....

LOL ! :rofl: :rofl: Steevo, settle down. !! Alan.......

Have a nice one laddie !! :duffer: :) :duffer: :D Alan.........

Yeah, could handle that ! Might seem a daft question, but increasing your tyre width, will it effect the Hicas operation ? Alan........

Its a pet hate of mine when you see anything with extended arches and it has wheels that are too narrow for them! :( If you are gonna do it, spend a wee bit extra and do it right. Any sizes on how much wider it makes the car ?? Also, any details on any place I can price wheels ?? Cheers for all your help guys. Alan......

You beat me to that question ! ;) We have 4 ovens at work, so thats not a problem. 60mm spacers for the rear. Can I keep my present wheels then ? Deep dish rims would look nicer, but trying to work out how much its all gonna come to. Car would be about 5" wider overall then ?? Much appreciated for the advice. Alan..

Rear bumper, maybe !! Wee dent in the back panel. And a big sledgehammer to open the tailgate !! :D Alan....

Cheers Allan ! ;) Rear bumper is cracked anyways after the accident, so would probably be better to renew. Any contacts or places where I can price alloys ? Thanx for your help, :D Alan.......

Car is going to be either written off or repaired, depending on the insurance. Small print on my policy says I have the rights to retain the salvage. Got a letter from them this morning, saying they would be willing to go along with my choice of repairer, if its repairable, which is my place of work. :D http://www.trucktecltd.co.uk So weighing up all sorts of scenarios here ! One being the wide ass kit. Questions that would be of help to know are; 1. Obviously I would need wider wheels and tyres, what would you recommend ? Prices also ? 2. Does the kit consist of 2 rear arches and a rear bumper ? Would assume that the original bumper doesnt work. 3. Would be fitting it myself, so any hints etc will be much appreciated. 4. How much wider does the kit make the car ?? :hyper: Cheers guys, Alan.....

Aw shucks, Thanks fella ! :D Alan.......

Happy birthdat laddie ! :D Alan.......

Make sure the sound is turned on ! ;) It has been worth all the expense, toil and worry mate. A very unique and instantly identifiable Zed ! :bow: Alan....

This will cause a few folk to tut !! http://cars.msn.co.uk/carnews/news15027jan06/Default.asp Alan.........

Must agree with somebody else who mentioned it, sounds the mutts nuts mate. :bow: Alan........

Almost two years on here and just passed the 1,000 posts. Small fry, I know ! :bow: Alan.......

So apt !! :( Had a bump in the Zed, as previously posted, (not my fault) so the dilemma is ! Do I make an appearance with me bent Zed, and get sympathy and the tits ripped off me ? :rolleyes: Or, Dont turn up, and keep it hidden ?? :( Alan....

A wonderfull burd is the Pelican, Its beak can hold more than its belly can. Its no The Bard, but it made me smile !! :D Alan......

New ones from the Mazda will look better, after being re-furbed of course. Not my particular favourites, prefer 5 spokes IMHO, but its your choice. If you had gone for a poll, I would have voted for the change. Still a very nice looking car though. :bow: Best of luck in your choice mate. Alan....

Nice one Scottywill ! :D Alan.......

Good luck mate, hope you are lucky ! Alan.......
