Great, cheers!

Oh so you think (just to clarify) it's capable of doing front and rear fogs at the same time? I did wonder but assumed it wasn't.

No one?

Good to hear someone else has done it. I'm no electrical genius, do you know the best way of doing it? A separate relay that is activated by the switch? Can the switch activate two relays?

Fair enough, but I just can't see myself ever wanting to do that. It's never even crossed my mind! Maybe I'd see it differently if I ever tried it though...

Why would I need extra visibility if it's not foggy? If you need extra lights then your headlights aren't good enough imo! As an aside, surely it's not legal to turn your front fogs on when it's not foggy, or does that rule only apply to the rear? Whether I end up doing it or not, out of curiosity, is it a legal requirement to have them separate? My daily is the same as others have mentioned, one turn for fronts, a second for rears. As others have said, I'm also curious what UK zed's have...

I've finally made some room on the drive for my new zed so can start fiddling with it now! I've got a double din stereo to fit so I've got to do something with the fog light switch, turbo timer and boost controller that sit underneath the stereo now. The timer will probably go, not sure where to put the controller yet but... With the rear fog light switch can I not wire it up to work off of the original front fog switch in the pod so the front and rears come on together? Is it an MOT requirement that they be operated separately? I can't think why I would ever want to turn them on individually.

A reasonably good zed came up on here a few weeks ago that was only about 5 miles away so I went round and snapped it up! Not really sure what this one is worth and it needs a lot of work so didn't really think anyone on here would be interested so I figured ebay was my best option. I never did find the time for this one, I never did anything to it so I don't even know anything about it really. I just want this one gone so I've got room on the drive for my new one! Should have more time on my hands now to give that one some love.

I insured my zed for the first time with flux a few weeks ago, I'm 25, 2nd car, 4000 miles per year, parked on drive, all mods declared obviously and I get to drive other cars (not registered in my name or at my address) fully comp for £550 a year after they matched my 6 years no claims from my daily. It's the cheapest quote I managed to get, less than I'm paying on my daily and they put my girlfriend on the policy for free. Seems expensive compared to what you lot are paying, but it's less than I thought I'd have to pay and I'm dead chuffed so far! Will see what happens in a years time when it's time to renew though... My daily's on admiral but I thought they wouldn't cover the value of the mods in any claim so I didn't even bother getting a quote from them as that's a rough deal!

I would suggest using one of this type, much less likely to catch and jerk I would imagine.... I've never had a problem anyway!

Don't suppose anyones got one lying around do they?

Got mine, thanks Gary :thumbup:

Ah right cool, will do, thanks!

Oh it's actually the right exhaust I think from memory, not that that probably makes any difference at this stage...

You can tell all that from the picture?!? I was going to do and compression test to see if it was worth carrying on, and then do the timing belt as part of the 120k service as a starting point. My initial reaction is that it can't be that bad as it does run, nearly cuts out off throttle and the left exhaust does "pop" a little when idling but seems to run relatively ok on throttle (I'm not saying it doesn't have issues, it obviously does). Thanks for your help though, do you mind elaborating a bit? Is there any way to test the CAS?

Those pipes are blocked off, not that I know what they're for originally though! Yea I'd pikced up on most of that other stuff, thanks for the info.

Yea I wondered whether any previous owners were on here! The guy I got it from only had it for a month or so I think, I don't think he even sent the log book off, think I got it straight from you in that sense. I have a feeling he hit a kerb with it or something, it had the spacesaver on it and I later found huge gashes in two of the other sidewalls. So I'll need to give the suspension a going over just in case, but it's passed an MOT at a strict local garage and they didn't pick anything up so it's probably fine. Weirdly they noticed the VIN on the V5 had been wrong since it was imported. Supposedly he's done the injector(s), but he didn't seem overly competent considering the huge air leaks that you could easily hear over the engine running where he hadn't put the plenum back on properly. So I wanna pull it all and redo it and do the knock sensor at the same time. Ha fair enough about the PCVs, but something's smoking a lot now, so they're definitely something to look at. Hopefully it's not the turbos on their way out. Any idea what, if any, mods it has? Haven't had a good look at the exhaust yet, cat back I assume? Apart from the intake I haven't noticed anything else yet. Is the odometer still in km or has it been converted?

gary - ha yea good point, though it might be a bit late for this one! Funkysi - yea I can see what you mean, and yes I agree those are my starting points! AndrewG - ah thanks I'll take you up on that, but I'll have to get the VIN at the weekend

Ah right thanks groover, though I think I'd like to try and get the sensor connected up properly in the long run. Funkysi, no I didn't know that, how do you know? I know the autos detuned slightly compared to the TTs, but how? Will this affect anything? It's been sat on my drive for about 8 months and I don't think its done more than about 5 thousand miles over the last 3 or 4 years, but I'm just guessing by old MOTs and stuff. They sound like good starting points as well, thanks. I work away during the week though so can only work on it at the weekend.

Oh and I'd better get a fan shroud before it rips my arm off!

Thought I'd put some pics up of my zed that I should be starting work on soon. Not a great deal to see at the moment though! It's a jap TT manual, bought it last year but I've been really busy with other things (that 406 coupe is really unreliable!). The logical thing to do would be to sell it and get one a bit nicer now I've got some money, but I'm gonna plough on regardless for better or worse! Hopefully will be able to get it resprayed either in the same black or change it to white if I can afford it, and I'd like an OEM rear spoiler and 99 spec front bumper but lots of other things to worry about before then. The usual rot, sills don't seem too bad, just bent from being jacked up, but with these arches I imagine it will be a different story inside! Always planned on redoing the interior so the condition doesn't bother me too much. Engine is a bit of an unknown tbh. It's idling roughly, I think it's air leaks (I've already fixed one and it made it loads better) so will have to look into that, and it smokes a fair amount so in hoping that's the PCVs. I'm sure I'll run into plenty of other problems though, like the fan clutch has gone I think. Also doesn't look like it's had it's 120k service, dash shows about 130k though I think it's still in km. Some things confusing me at this early stage, I think the plug on the top with a resistor in it must be to try and bypass the knock sensor? Or egr? It's throwing a knock sensor fault anyway. And there two blanked pipes under the nose panel either side of the aftermarket filter, I might be being a bit slow but I can't think what they're for at the moment... A long and painful road ahead I think!

Done!

Cheers! :thumbup:

Ha well I hope mine isn't bad enough to count as a 'sight'! :sweatdrop:

Will do, thanks
