water temp sender
i have a bit of an uneven idle on the old girl at the moment . have been advised that it could be a faulty water temp sender / connecter . if there is a fault in this area can the senders be tested with a voltmeter . does anybody know what the voltage range is on these as the temperature rises . cheers

someone dented my car :(
gutted for you mate . looking at the pics it doesnt look like its creased so a good panel beater / coach builder should be able to push that out fairly easily . if its a stock paint code i reckon you are looking around the £200 mark for a finished job . a bitter pill to swallow but hopefully not as bad as you first thought. andy

run flat tyres
im a big fan of the safety aspect of run flats but not a fan of the teeth rattling ride they give . is anybody running these on their zed . my concern is when you take the suspension give away from the tyres is it likely to ware other components in the cars suspension . has anybody had any issues with this . cheers andy

cutting out .
hi all . the zed has started idleing a little erratically . it seems to be hunting a little and after a while she cuts out . starts again straight away but if left idleing will cut out again . on the to do list are ; change fuel filter pcv valves . poss fuel damper ptu for a series 2 when i can get the sub harness is it possible that 1 or more of these could help with the problem . another problem that she has is hessitation on initial pull away but none whilst driving . any advice or pointers will be gladly recieved . cheers andy

help needed with wheels
im off to view a set of wheels later on . they are currently fitted to a maxda rx7 . the sizes are front 225 x40 x 18. rears 255 x 35 x 18 . im sure there is scope to increase both front and rear a little . maybe 245 front and 265 /275 rear . not sure what the offsets are . does anybody know if the hub sizes and offsets for a mazda rx7 is similar to the zed . especially the hub . unfortunately i cant take the zed to do a trial fit as shes in a few pieces at the moment cheers andy

Power steering fluid leak.
there is a common leak point for zeds . its just under the pot itself which drips into the alternator . not good at all that one . and the other place is on the unions behind engine . (if you drew an imaginary line across car from back of front wheels ) its roughly there in centre. my advice though would be go to quick fit for a free brake inspection and when its up on the ramps go under and have a look . these are common faults . if i remember correctly mine was fixed at zedworld and cost about £130 parts and labour
