take it off the road for the winter. do a sniff test, then weigh up your options. save some cash up. it might not be he said almost certainly be an optimist, it makes zed ownership far easier. worse case senario it is that and you will have to pull the engine. coul do it yourself or ask sum 1 local to help for a bottle of whiskey and a promise you will do teh same for them when they need it. spend some big cash get a rebuild and have the car you always dreamed of. or try driving it to zedworld when it breaks call the rac they will take your car to zedworld you can go home without it. theres no rush is there, soon the weather will be crap and you wont wanna take it out anyways

tbh i cant remeber spefically myself, leave it lol. its quite amusing to read people getting all excited as long as were all helping eachother and all LISTENING to eachother, that what matters. cub spirt i dont care what car people own if they know how to help and are willing to pitch ahand its good enough for me. ive worked on vws, bmws and various other heaps of crap taht my friends have blown up and decided they wanna fix. few cans and a long sunny day its all good

ha i have several parts of my engine bay in the kitchen atm. lol they will be back in by the weekend tho :D

the orginal topic went out the window, like a spice girls cd on repeat

yeh joint meet with swjcc or summin

either of you attending a certain airfeild even on the 28th?

probally not there seems to be loads of mystery cars floating about atm

is it? there was a chap called svp01 or summin came on here the other day from the poole area. dunno who that is. hows yours doing atm mate?

i do have cats...... maybe there the ones blowing the bubbles? what bearing does the cat being in place have?

my aivs gurgle. well intermitently, sometime sthey do sometimes they dont. should i be bothered should i do something about it? the fact that it sounds like a kid blowing bubbles in amilksake ever now and again at idle doesnt really worry me. i cant hear it most of the time, and how does joe blogs on the street know there not a little chunky kid hiding behind the bus stop blowing bubbles :D

million dollar question. which one is better to drive and quicker?

will we be seeing you on teh hampshire roads soon then?

one other thing, i know you said about tax, but the one thing you really wanna do when buying any performance car is test drive it. no tax makes this exercise a little limited. would def put me off

pull the motor from what i understand it will take about the same amount of time to do unless you knwo exactly what your doing. and if you pull the block you can sort so much else out while your doing it rather than sort that out and in 6 months time have to pull it again for something else. pull it out and do all those things that take five minutes with it out but ages with it in. plus the fact something has caused the turbo to die, if for example its oil starvation you will be in a far better position to safe gaurd yousrself against a reoccarnce.

that does sound alot better, and agreed about the pics. the ones on pistonheads just dont do the car as much justice. i know when i was looking at buying my zed i looked at getting a tt and when i weighed it up the difference wasnt taht great so i went for a tt and i think most people probally do. for the right person its a bargin, but for joe blogs its an expensive zed when they could have a half decent tt for less. im sure you will sell it it will just take time.

i think there is a stigma surrounding forums. but they really are the best way to share information

sal****er is the main difference, that and a competrly different arroach to water treatment. more chemical oparameters and additions. i personally dont have a filter on my marine tank in the tradional sense, and water chance once a year. chaing baout a 3rd. il pop some pics up this week. :D if anyone wants any advice gimme a shout, it used to be my job. ive also sometimes got soft coral frags etc.

havent seen that one hellraiser, seen a red na near wareham and another that poped in my head, taht ive promptly forgotten. have you seen the highly modded black one with the woman driving it?

no i thought that when i saw it its bob on identical apart from the weels and front bumper.

made you want to keep it more?

keeping corals too bud?

the zed is probally where all my money is going these days but my marine tank used to eat a fair chunk of cash who else out there keeps these little beauties

sounds like pcv valves. there not mega expensive. do a search on it see it it sounds simular. http://www.zcentre.co.uk/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=72&Itemid=7

In my local area there a few zed i recon roughly ten. 3/4 or them are known. but who do the rest belong to? one of the other local guys pulled along side in his zed one of the msytery cars to say hey the guy, in his 50s id say stuck his finger up and drove off. so heres the list red uk spec witha low level zeemax spoiler midnight blue series one na silver na black heavily modified high level spoiler i cant believe there just driving around not part of any club or forum. all these cars ive spotted recently in the dorset area or ringwood way i have also met a chap witha series 2 red na who was rather pleasent and isnt on here and i told him he should its ever so usefull. just gets you wondering when you see a few about that are unknown and how many there are on ebay that are unknown. how many are there in the country? and how many are just driving them about without contaxct with other zed owners

sorry missed that post by turbo craigy. cheers guys :D
