auto box problem
id say, for the sake of a few hundred miles would it even be worth it? to me it would just be throwing money away on a fix that isnt going to last too long, if it even fixes it at all. I just got another box to replace the one i had, then ended up with a breaker with a working box lol (damn it) im waiting till next year and going manual conversion, but for now 200 on a known working good box, is enough to last me a year if i dont floor it everywhere. But ultimately its your choice.

Don't you just hate arrogant ebay sellers....
Id send him a reply asking why he thinks its worth the extra 2k? and for that money he could may be replace his keyboard with the stuck CAPSLOCK KEY, so he stops shouting at people. also explain how his rudeness has just lost him a sale.

auto box problem
well, i have the same problem currently in mine, only way forward is to either get it reconditioned AND hope who ever does it does it properly, or replace with a known working one. I too have a spare known working good one with torque converter from a UK TT same price as hollow points, came off the car as i broke the car due to rusting issues with the body work.

Electrical nightmares
My red zed was just as bad, i had 3 unknown switches inside my cabin, that after chasing the cabling all over the inside of the dash ended up being connected to nothing? after ripping it all out, im sure i could of rewired a 747 with it

inshort; over active skin cells that decide to grow, get no bigger than a few mm, don't hurt, are not dangerous, just look unsightly and bloody annoying if you catch one lol

Electrical nightmares
problem is, its not a dedicated carputer, its a dell plugged into a inverter, so i need to switch the inverter off or run the risk of the battery dieing on me. I need to put 2 switches in for it, one in line with the power lead to the inverter so i can switch it on and off from the cabin, and then extend the power button from the dell into the cabin as well, so i can get it turned on. Im still debating to just remove the carputer all together and rewire the ISO socket for a normal stereo, and just stick a laptop in it. Would tidy up the boot no end, plus i can get around to getting a proper boot build done for my amps, which by the way haven't been properly installed either, the speaker wire and conzults cable seem to be the only thing thats been wired in correctly, i think id be better off ripping it all out and starting afresh with it.

Electrical nightmares
Well, from all the electrical's I've had to rewire mate, there is no remote lead lol. Behind my screen i have a very short, but cut OEM stereo lead. so if i ever wanted to fit a normal stereo, id have to rewire it. same with my wing mirror switch, that was just cut, so needed to rewire a new lead in, and for some strange reason, when i went to install the power wires for the passenger seat, the drivers side seat electrics were taking a live feed off the cigarette lighter socket 12v feed? I have no idea what people think with the electrics of these cars, every zed ive owned, has either had to have redundant (extra) wire removed that someone bodged in, or the original wires replaced due to being cut for no apparent reason :blink:

The biggest problem i have at the moment matey is the in car PC, engines arrived, gearbox is in the garage, so thats sorted out, just need to fit them. But the car-puter is a pain in the ass, ooh dont get me wrong, its fantastic for running diagnostics, but considering i have to get out of the car, open the boot, switch it all on, get back in the car (after starting it, other wise i have to do it all again, if ive started the PC before the engine) then, try and change a track if you haven't pre-designated a play list, on a tiny 7inch touch screen, is a nightmare, there is no way you can practically use it while driving. you couldn't even turn the volume up or down while driving, as the screen is just too small, and fingers too big, so needed a handy solution to use. the button is fully programmable, and allows me the basic use of the volume with out having to concentrate on where im putting my finger on a screen. I need to do some major rewiring, i need to be able to switch my amps on, and computer from the comfort of the drivers seat. and also figure away of incorporating a bigger touch screen into the car some how, thats accessible from the drivers seat also.

If your that bored, you can LED my drivers side window switch, the passenger side is LED'ed but the drivers side for some reason isnt :blink: Ooh and you will love my volume control button ive got for my zed, its got a blue LED at the base that dims and brightens depending on what the volume is set at Just need to relocate the lighter socket (think it was Jason farrow who moved his inside his arm rest) and then sort something out with the ashtray so i can mount it properly, ive already routed the cable

take a note from jackass 3D with the lambo tooth pull, could do a zed pull, tie a bit of string around it, tie it to the back end of a zed and get them to drive off :lol: [YOUTUBE]LXNLYrsOxKw[/YOUTUBE]

WANTED: REO for South & West Yorkshire
I had a manual conversion kit to go in, but when i found out i needed a new engine, i sold the kit to get the new engine, so sourced another auto box to go in instead as the gearbox is fooked on the blue one at the moment i love coffee with 2 sugers. xx

Just spotted this. Very nice!!!
only reason id change it, is to keep it in storage and protect it ready for when i came to sell it, id put the original seats back in, or if i was going to a show, id put them back in. but for other use, id put the leather interior in

Just spotted this. Very nice!!!
its simple, you buy it, put in the leather and keep the original interior in dry storage so when you come to sell it, you put the original seats back in with out a mark on them. Didnt anyone think of that?
