Done it. Cant believe i couldn do it yesterday :slap: Also done boost leak test with a proper compressor. Found a leak down near the turbo. What a b@stard it was to get to. So all is well again :dance: Thanks for the help and advice guys. :hyper:

So will it be ok to put the bolts in the other way round when refitting? What sort of compresor? Any links to what kind to get as im thinking of buying one anyway. Want one that you can just set the psi rate and it will stop when it gets there.

1.Trying to get the front tension rods off but the bolts wont come out as they hit the intercooler piping. Is there anyway that these will come out without having to move all the intercooler pipe work? 2. Trying to do a boost leak and im using a car air compressor, the ones you plug into the cigarette lighter. Anyway it won’t hold any pressure and I can’t hear any leaks from anywhere am I doing something wrong? Boost leak detector is on the intake pipe where the maf was. The car would reach full boost at about 4-4,500 rpm. Could hear the usual whistling noise associated with a boost leak. Thanks Paul

Coming into town on A689 and going down Brenda road into the industrial estate. Reg was something like TCZ ****. Looked in very good condition.

Here she is. Hope you lot like.

Yeah i have one. Its my daily driver. Love it to bits, handles well, althought not much power in the 2.0 engine (150 bhp). Thinking of selling soon tho so i can get another zed.

Hi Could someone put up a step by step guide for doing a compression test? Just want to make sure my engine is sound. Thanks

Well i am going to get the older one chipped so hopefully that would not matter.

Thanks Guys. So will there be any difference if i swapped them over? Being different years.

Anyone else? I have the second one in my car at the moment. My car is auto so is the last ecu manual and will it be ok in my car? Also will the year make any difference? I am going to get the top one chipped and use that. My car is 1993 and it sounds like the top ecu is 90-91. Where can i find out what the codes mean? Thanks Paul

I have an Alfa GTV 2.0 as my run around and me and my girlfriend use zed for a weekend car. I work shifts so my weekend is usually through the week so it works out ok, plus we both pay towards it :hyper: which is handy.
