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.

Hi all, Some of you may have noticed the website went down for a bit this morning. This apparently was a global network issue on the UK part of the Internet itself and should now be resolved. Thanks Lee

Nanoo Nanoo! RIP Mork.

Got two left side scuttle panels which are crack free ! One has been painted black and could do with a respray the other is Nissan oem look. £40 for the normal one and £30 for the painted one delivered. Note : no clips or rubber seal at back so take them from your old scuttle Pics up shortly !

Used to have a set of those myself a few years back but the EL parts of them broke so they wouldn't light up any longer. Sure they came from zcentre; however luke lists the red / white looking ones now.

reminds me of chad from weird science !

you've been doing a lot of bowing recently :)

Excellent, Great to see another zed getting a full refurb; just going through the exact same myself.

Discovered two broken gears for my headlights after I dismantled them for a clean. Need the gear that's can unscrew from a breaker and also does anyone know how to replace the gear that's attached to the actual headlight ?

My my wife said exactly the same thing earlier! think it's just the trick of light or reflection of the tape or something, lol

This just makes the empty shell so much better.

Look what arrived today !

Have a set of brand new Nissan pillar trims. Bought these brand new from MJP but my insurance company just replaced mine as part of my claim so these are spare. Boxed as new from Nissan but opened to check. You will need two top clips if you manage to break the old ones taken these off. Sell for £70 posted for both sides, these are usually £55 per side

not sure myself yet as will be doing lots of overtime for sure in September and i'll be away for JAE

what about ebay ones about £70 bux
