Kaza Steve

dont think you have any need to panic yet mate :)

as Funky said its usual in this winter weather with short journies , let the engine warm up and cool down if your only doing little runs it will help after the rebuild did you get the cylinder heads re tourqued once it was bedded in

check the water cap also ..if its greyish waxy deposits could be start of head gasket problems ....

could well be the PTU ....or a bad earth on the PTU or coil packs

nice but loose the HUUUUUGE front number plate ..it looks like a buck toothed rabbit nice and shiny though !!

why did you buy it in the first place Joel ?? ..............sometimes i dont like the red on my zed but then on a cool september morning against the backdrop of autumn leaves it just looks stunning ....for a 20 year old car that still turns heads

9 exhausts 9 OMFG .....what a hideous pile of rotting puss , it looks like its about to put on an American footballers shirt ......please tell me he is not English !!!! that would be shed of the year on barry boys site for sure

primary function of oil squirters is to cool the underside of the piston ..lubrication is only secondary and a nice side effect, so with forged pistons it isnt really going to be an issue , however it does help reduce piston temp and therefore possible det, NA squirters have a more direct "squirt" patern , i considred this mod but decided that the TT squirters are suffuicient for my needs as im not going for stupid "break the gearbox eventually power " just a nice road user 450 bhp

no mate the headlamps come out easily enough , however taking them apart with goosing them is something else , there is a sticky on free upgrades somewhere with cleaning headlights ....try a search , mate you will be surprised at the difference it makes takes about an hour or two each side including the removal .. steve

Ah Red !!!! the colour of choice !!! .......and the fastest zeds are red .. all you others have cars painted in different shades of primer :) :) :) stands well back , waits for can off worms to open

i prefer the mid height , nota lover of smooth or pram handle spoilers , but i feel the zed needs something to balance up the look of it from a profile view point ..the 99 spec is perfect , or a bit higher like the WW mid height jobbie

cheers mate !

im having the same issue finding soemone local to fit my leader gear set (when it and my car arrive back )....i have been told the best bet is a garage that specialise in rally prep work ..if i find one i will let you know mate steve

yep .......get the kit on !!! normaly i would say get the kit off ..but as its for kids ill donate to it but pics on the forum if it reaches 50 quid .ill bung in a tenner if you send the paypal addy good luck steve

excellent mate, its great fun aint it ....if i can recomend fitting door stoppers that stop the doors closing 100 shut unless an adult lifts the stop out of the way first ..my litle girl nearly lost her fingers when her brother shut the door on her hand only thing that saved her was a soft toy she was carrying....same applies to kitchen dawers....and move any loose rugs ...also watch out for overhanging things , like cables hanging down from kettles or toasters etc and if you have tiled or lamintaed floors get them treated with an anti slip coating ...and the other thing is make sure that any bath overflows are covered my cousins daughter got her finger end trapped in one of those .........also check your shoes before you put them on ..my girl used to put anything she could get hold of in mine dolls toy cars..and the worst and most painful of all Duplo and lego bricks good luck mate steve

fittng mintex race pads ..should have gone for the porterfields these things squeel like a virgin

Absolutely agree.............when the chinese or koreans or the the hundreds of little third world countries stop using depleted uranium to build houses with and old sump oil and tyres to fuel the boilers and cook dead dogs with ..then and maybe only then will i give a monkeys about the 0.2% of the world's Co2 emissions produced by the UK its a bigger con than the millinium bug in 2000 that was going to destroy industry as we knew it ...the government have actualy found a way to tax the weather and the plethora of liberal "what about their human rights" do gooders with their hollier than thou attituides that are doing more harm to our country than any terrorist would ever do are buying it hook line and sinker.......this country needs to get a back bone , turf out the free loaders , asylum seekers and tree hugging shower timid hippies and start beeing GREAT britain again :rant::rant::slap: but if it makes you feel better to plant a tree steve , then carry on ;) ill stick to my smog producing diesel people carrier cheers

drop the pressures to 28 psi

i was a "Sooth moother" in the shetland isles in 1981 - 1984 saw 3 "Up helly A's" excuse the spelling and took part in two of them on the Gaizer Yarl's perade .....i stayed mostly in Firth but did the first 6 months in the Magnus Bay hotel .....drank loads of quality guiness at "Da Bod" the "Simmer dim rallys" were awsome ..do they still hold them ?? Steve

loks a tidy zed all the same ...English speaking and reading people only to live in England it should say ...........that includes Chavs who text type , thats not English either "init"

what kind of area are we talking about ?? the foam goes a long way and expands very rapidly .....

fellas please these are BMW's !!........there is another forum for Pimps, drug dealers chav's and black hoodlums to worship these rep mobiles ..............and the E30 looks old ..retro is something new made to look old ..if its old its old like the zed its Old ..like me its old ......personaly i hate the cabrio, it looks like barbie should be driving it .... and they are grotesque with the roof up.....like a cornish pasty wearing a deerstalker hat and yes i did get out of the wrong side of bed this morning ...
