I didn't think to compare them once I'd removed the old ones. It's running perfectly now, it was a bit rough on part throttle with the old ones. They come with the correct plug, too. ?

Finally got round to replacing my knackered oxygen sensors. The pair were only £85 delivered, including import duty. I thought I'd post it, as it seemed like a good deal. They arrived in 6 days. https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bosch-13091-Oxygen-Sensor-/152779941235#vi__app-cvip-panel

Thanks to everyone for their help, especially Jeff and Nick. I finally got the time to look at it. I removed the plugs, left it overnight and put a new set in the next day, it started immediately. The plugs were quite black, which I've put down to my disconnected o2 sensors and using the wrong plugs. I was running bcr8es which are probably too cold for my OAP driving style. I've replaced them like for like, but I'm going to get some platinums ordered.

Thanks for the comprehensive reply Jeff. I'll recheck the temperature sensor connector and I've ordered some new plugs. Once they arrive, I'll be able to leave them out overnight and make sure it's not flooded.

I'm afraid I haven't got the genuine part numbers, I replaced the calipers once I noticed the seals were knackered.

I rebuilt my calipers with a kit from bigg red, but they started sticking about 3 years later. When I inspected them, the dust seals had perished. When I did my Volvo recently, I used a genuine kit, I wouldn't use bigg red again.

I didn't have 12v at the coil pack connectors, so I bypassed the relay which solved that, but it still wouldn't start. I re-tried the relay and I'm now getting 12v. The relay could be faulty, but since I've got a spark and 12v at the coils, I don't think that's a problem at the moment. My only thought now is that maybe the faulty relay caused the initial problem, which fouled the plugs causing it to still not start. I'm probably clutching at straws, but other than that I'm stumped.

Thanks, I've been following that as best as I can without anyone to turn the key while I'm messing.

Thanks for the kind offer, but I'm a bit pushed for time at the moment, so I'll order some and get them delivered.

Thanks for the advice, I did remove a plug to test the spark. They were quite wet with fuel, which I was expected because it was cranking without actually firing, they didn't seem too bad though. I think it's probably worth trying some new plugs to eliminate them.

That was the first thing I did when it wouldn't start, I know how bad the connections can end up after a few years.

I haven't used my zed much lately and the last couple of times I've started it, it's run rough for the first mile then it's been fine. I just put this down to damp through lack of use and didn't think much of it. I tried to start it today and it turns over, but won't start. I can hear the fuel pump priming when I turn the ignition on and I've got a spark. I removed the cas and turned it by hand and I can hear the injectors firing. Has anyone got any suggestions ?

I was after a seatbelt in good working order, for my JDM zed (Door mounted). It's a series 1, I'm not sure if that makes any difference?

Do you have to remove the Targa to get out?

It's because of a house I'm considering buying. It's got two garages, but no space to make either of them any bigger. It's a deal breaker if I can't fit the zed in!
