Dave, A few years ago I fetched some speakers back in mi case no probs, but I take it now there will be a problem, Is there any way to ger around duty or can I say its a gift?, or do I have to pay duty , how much and will It include tax as well? Richard

Am wondering if anybody knows any good places that sell accessories for the Zed in Florida. Or A good priced shop for head units for my Zed as Am buying one there as they are cheaper and will fit in mi suitcase, and any other thing I can fit in within my budget lol. Richard

seems a good idea to bring car up to spec with the year 2004 fixed time delay is good, Im interested ,as I carn't be arsed making one up my self due to other mods ongoing, but a plug in unit sound ok to me Richard

19" blitz z1 wheels 3 piece hand made. :dance:

surprisingly no damage done allthough after draining diesel out and running car it still was pinking its nuts off, owner said it always did pink a little,ffs checked timing and was at 37degrees reset and ok running sweet. its a wonder he hasn't got square pistons, the diesel concentration was not weak believe me I can't believe it ran mayby with the timing advanced helped it chug along either way it won't have done the engine anygood probable aged it 5 years lol. Richard:slap:

Just had an interesting problem on a fellow Zed owner hwo's car started smoking badly,misfiring pinking . he limped to my house and when he got here there was smoke coming from everywhere he thought it was on fire, I looked underneath and the cats were cherry red , you could have put a screwdriver through em like butter..........................................after several tests and checks I can now comfirm its problem was ..........................Diesel ffs so there you have the first Zed to run on diesel allbeit not very well,,, still don't know how he got it to my house , cause it struggled to pull on my driveway. just remember don't let your wife put fuel in your Zed if she drive a diesel.lol:dance: :dance: :dance:

good point made. :dance:

you can buy inverters which convert 240 v to three phaze they go to about 2hp motors max i think and the power is slighly choppy but work as i have one on my roller garage shutter door Richard;) ps you can control the speed and accell&deaccelleration etc

parking mine up at end of month for banger racing in winter lol with my banger cavalier. not had a bad run with zed 2yrs no probs. might even get my veilside rear wing fitted which I didn't have time to fit early on this year.:dance: :D got some nice shiny hybred turbo's waiting to be fitted, if I can be bothered to remove 2 perfectly good uns from car. Richard

you can only get rid of rust if you grind or cut it out, then cos its on a wheel arch which is double skinned you need to seal it from behind as to prevent water getting to the back of the repair otherwise in a months time it will bubble up again try using seam sealer and make sure the lip on arch way is sealed as well as water tends to creep through the arch Richard;)

I'm up for it with silver background indiglo blue uk spec clocks Richard:dance:

Having had several rover tomcats and mg meastro turbo's mg montego turbo etc and spend all day working on them from new when I worked for the rover dealer ship as well as being on every factory course on these cars. you tend to get a bit of a picture of what these cars are like. 1/..m16/t16 engine is a fairly good engine, apart from the uncurable oil leaks permanently 2/...Then they modified the valve seals and valve seat angles several times to stop them burning out. 3/..then the ecu mulifuntion(mems) switch packs pack in so car won't run 4/..turbo model honda gears boxes struggle with power>> bearing failure 5/..changing wheel bearings regular 6/..can't stop wheel vibrations through steering& brake disc's changed regular 7/..factory alarms packing in and going off when ever they want 8/..these cars don't like parking near curbs, they bottom out on towing hook 9/..wind noise uncurable and leaking water in 10/.. window regulars bend like putty 11/.. t16 turbo which has special piston&conrod together not same as n/a but still melt away even on std boost etc etc apart from them they arn't too bad if you get a goodun and give decent performance if you can hold on to the torque steer montego turbo was a scream lol Richard:cry: :dance:

mines a uk series 1

try tilting the engine with a jack under it to give a better angle. Richard

count me in as I have sent loads of emails to auto ellusions with no reply from that Richard Gill and would like some. Richard :dance:

I must have the record for the dearest dust caps fitted to my wheels. .............................................£36............................. thats what it cost to replace my pinched fooking caps as the ones are fitted came with the wheels from blitz and you have to buy the valve as well ffs next time I see some kids squatting down near my car they had better run. :cry: :mad:

I take it you was caught up in the congestion traffic, I was in there too waiting to get to the wednesday-Barnsley match what a cock up with them turning the lights on as well at the same time . To top it all we lost as well after playing them off the park. sob sob. :dance: :dance:

I've got the auto watch alarm cat 1 . its very reliable and not overpriced like the toad. and.........has a small fob. Richard

Let us know about them chroming cos, due to the bubbled effect I have now looks shite.. your bake-afoil didn't last very long, it bubbled within a week of being fitted. Richard
