Next week is a big week for my zed as I plan to hopefully rebuild the complete interior. I've got Monday, Wednesday and Friday off next week so will have some fresh pics all next week.

Cam covers getting prepped and will be done the same colour as the zed : Then we put her to bed for the weekend with a dust cover !

Few pics from Friday showing the front 99 spec bumper :

Got the same on mine and removed them after I decated my zed. As you suggest they are cat sensors.

Bought my zed three years ago and it had a horrible veil side kit attached. Was daily driver for two years then took it off the road for its full rebuild below :

Double Punch yourself in the face while trying to pull undo a bolt with a not so tight spanner!

Its nothing fancy to be honest, ive just inserted three relays between all the main ignition cables. It means that if someone was to try and hot wire the car or tamper with it by stripping the ignition harness they wouldn't get it running. The trigger wires need 12v to operate and they are hidden higher up and within the original loom.

All I can say I've added a wee bit of a DIY immobiliser that cant be seen or tampered with from under the dash. And it makes a kinda cool clicking sound when activated; however the time the immobiliser is triggered and you enter the car you've lost that effect, lol.

:)

In the dash area, yes. Key is the colour of the cables and thickness.

Just finished soldering my custom loom which will be fitted back into my new zed. Without me going into too much detail can anyone work out exactly what I'm doing ? The clue is the area of the loom which I have changed.

That's cool, You can see the shadow of the plane in clouds but that hue must be created by a wing light or something. I was thinking it was a reflection of the sun but the shadow proves that sun is on the other side of the plane.

Yeh, but if i can get away with not using a cooler i will ! Seen a few coolers but there fairly large and the nice small ones are too expensive.

That's what I was thinking of doing ! Does anyone know the diameter of hose and type required to replace this pipe ?

Not long after I posted this I was thinking the same thing. so an after market cooler should do the trick and just run rubber hoses both ends. see a few jaguar pas coolers that could do the trick.

The easy route would be to put a new rubber pipe in to the below area; tie wrap it to the sway bar and then back up into the pas pot !

When I stripped my zed a part of the upper steering tube was damaged so I simply cut it. Never noting that the rubber pipe is captive to the main pipe I now need a replacement. Below is a pic of the damaged pipe which is now about three inches too short to reach the pas pot : The question is - how can I make a repair of this pipe ? Can I cut the top of the metal and put a jubilee on and replace the top rubber part ? Can I replace the full pipe with rubber ? Whats the reason for the big elaborate route of the pipe rather than just going direct ? Any help on this would be great. Cheers

Also fitted my bose speaker holder although don't have any speakers to fit in them yet !

Few more polished pics :

Back in the garage today to refit all the front intercooler pipework and supporting brackets, also fitted the front support brackets for my 99 spec bumper. Then decided it was time to refit the headlights.

Official response from our hosts : Hi Lee My name is Adam Smith. If you’ve not read one of my emails before, I’m the technical director at Vidahost and the person responsible if things go wrong. At Vidahost we are aware that our success over the past 11 years is due almost entirely to customer referral and word of mouth, and we know that our high service level is the primary reason for this. Therefore, when we fail to meet those service levels, I feel it is important to tell you why. Today (Tuesday 12th August) we experienced a network routing issue between approximately 9AM and 11:30AM. This meant that some visitors in the UK and elsewhere in the world were unable to reach our network, including customer websites, our own website, email services and other services provided by Vidahost. It’s important to point out that this issue was sporadic and only affected a small number of people. For the majority of the world, services were accessible throughout. Below is the graph of one of our many connections to the public internet to demonstrate. You will see a small drop in traffic whilst the issue was occurring and 2 additional ‘blips’ which are due to the router reloads (more details below) but otherwise traffic levels were only slightly affected. The arc you see is unrelated and is part of our daily traffic flow, which naturally drops overnight. Please rest assured that we dealt with this with the utmost urgency and let me re-iterate that maintaining our reputation for uptime and reliability is of the highest concern to us. We understand that, for many of you, your online business is your livelihood. For those who are interested, the technical explanation… The global routing table is a ‘map’ of each possible destination on the internet. Every large network operator (such as ourselves, or the ISP you use to connect to the internet) holds a copy of this, or multiple copies in our case. This is what enables every computer on the internet to reach every other computer. Over the past two decades the routing table has been increasing in size, due to new ipv4 addresses being used and existing ipv4 address ranges being split (meaning that 2 consecutive ranges might have different paths). Today it hit 512,000 routes. This is a magic number as it’s an inbuilt limit in many common routers and switches. We had pre-empted this. Most of our routers/switches already have a higher limit and we have recently spent £250,000 on network upgrades to improve the rest of our network. These had not yet been installed as we believed we had room to spare. However, last night there was a sudden increase in the number of routes being announced to the world and at 9AM we hit the limit. Due to human factors it took us approximately half an hour to find the cause of the issue. At that point we applied a fix on the only router we believed was affected. This took effect after a reboot (which caused approximately 60 seconds of packet loss as indicated on the graph) and the majority of people who could not access our network were then able to. However some users were still reporting problems so we continued to investigate. We believed the issue may lie elsewhere as customers were also reporting issues reaching websites such as eBay and Skype but, despite the lack of any log entries to indicate, it turns out another of our Cisco routers had also hit its routing limit. The same configuration change was applied to that router and, at that point, the remaining people still having problems accessing their site were now able to again. It seems many other high profile ISPs also suffered the same issue today and most have now fixed their own networks. Over the next 2 weeks we will be replacing all the affected routers with brand new Juniper devices which can hold enough routes to cover us for the next decade. This issue only affected a small preportion of people accessing our network, and most users would not have seen any disruption. Nonetheless I would like to express my sincere apologies for the issues that some of you faced. If you have any queries please send a support ticket with the subject “FAO: Adam Smith” or give me a call on 01628 200219. Kind Regards, Adam Smith

Yesterday I managed to the tailgate back on, rear lights fixed in place, also added the new door rubbers and trims and refitted the rear bumper. First thing I reassembled the door looks and reattached the wing mirrors. Will get another full day of reassembly tomorrow.
