V shape!!! Brilliant! I'll get a piccy up when I get home. Ah I feel like a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders.. Literally.. When I took the exhaust off it feel on me and nearly crushed me!! Sent from my Lumia 900 using Tapatalk

Is that keep drilling or remove the manifold for instance, just spent 3 mins drilling full force with cobalt drill and went down a depth of 3 mm, Sent from my Lumia 900 using Tapatalk

Okay, here we go. car is LWB NA '91 Import. dont know if that matters but hey.. it usually does. Which is easier when putting on ne down pipes. drilling out 5 sheared bolts or removing the manifolds and grinding off the stud heads and knocking them through... Answers the usual way, i'm off for a cuppa' Rich

Is there a trader/member who makes and sells panels, skirts etc... or used to but not anymore... Rich

Well thats what happens when you get old like me and your dad, anyway ZX300 rolls off the tongue better... Rich

PLUS postage... even for a fellow geordie..

Have they got back to you about that package 'cos we kept it, complete dvd set "how to maintain the ZX300" R

Andrew, many thanks, appreciate the input. Rich - - - Updated - - - ps thats never a zx300 under that lot is it?

okay. thanks Rich

OMG what a beauty, and from my old stomping grounds, used to live in Gosforth and Cramlington and went to Blyth pool... When you get rid of the horrible looking piece of mangled plastic called a front panel, i might be able to take it off your hands so you wont need to look at it anymore.... promise i wouldn't charge you to much.. Rich

Hi, looked under the front panel and saw the air filter, not ever having a std one, is this one std or aftermarket Rich Sent from my Lumia 900 using Tapatalk

Jeff, Thx. i found a good wiki site with TPS explanation and adjustment , so with that, you tube and you guys, i'm sure i can check and adjust this.

Fluid is nice and pink, was the first thing I checked, thanks Sent from my Lumia 900 using Tapatalk

hi guys, most of the time my auto box changes gear with no issues, smooth and sweet. However, first to second almost gives me whip lash because of the vicious "clunk". Is this normal... (I hope not) can anything be done about it, Cheers Rich Sent from my Lumia 900 using Tapatalk

Hi Guys, thanks for all you help and advice, to JeffTT as well for some off thread help. I have however come up with an interim fix. it is obvious the cable is stretched over and above its limit, but if you dont have up to a 100 notes then you can try what i did. Go back and remove the rear wheels and the rubber grommets that allow access to the star wheel,turn to the top as usual to clamp the pads on, how ever most instructions advise backing off the wheel about 5-6 turns, Don't. back it of a click at a time, and each time try to turn the wheel, after 2-3 clicks the wheels will turn freely, stop and do the other side, go and check the handbrake, you should have it biting after 20-30 degrees, Bingo!! wheels back on, don't forget the rubber grommets. Remember the handbrake is used on/off and deals with no movement (unless you're into drifting and handbrake turns) so minimal wear is usual. Cheers Rich

Dont panic mate, it'll be running next time you pop in... Rich

i said hypothetically, the new one is fine, don't worry. i'm just thinking ahead... Rich

Leroy, Hi Mate. i know how you feel man, got the same problem on my car, see my thread here Its still not fixed, tried 3 g/b ECU's, no help. i have a feeling there is something not quite right somewhere, but i cant put my finger on it. Everyone says sha**ed gearbox, but i dare not buy and fit another one because that nagging problem will still be there.. So instead sold my BMW (with gearbox problem) and bought a Zed I'm interested in that post regarding the turbine speed sensor, with a name like that it implies a TT engine and Gearbox. what is yours NA or TT, mine is a NA engine with a TT box... Did you find that sensor, if so where is it. Just remember , you're not alone.... Rich

Hi Guys, not that i'm thinking of doing it, (yet), but how difficult/easy is it to transplant a N/A engine from one zed to another, any special tools needed etc.. i assume you will need a engine hoist as a must... Cheers Rich

Great write up, step by step instructions, just what you need. I now consider myself a handbrake drum adjustment specialist. However.. the handbrake still rises up to the sky.. so i look at the small nut below the handle and tucked away, after removing all of the centre console, i find that the nut is right down the thread and no further tightening is available, so where do i go from here...i just cant get the handbrake to work properly. Is it now that i need to look at new brake cables?? Please advise Rich

Thanks Ted, you're a star... Rich

Hi Guys, my handbrake is in a state of non function. no matter how high up you pull it, it just doesn't work. i have removed the rear wheels and adjusted the "star" wheel as instructed but this does nothing to improve the efficiency of the brake. Now im reading about a nut under the brake handle itself, now before i dismantle the dashboard and console is adjusting this nut going to help or do i have a REAL problem. Rich
