very nice but i'd prefer this: http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/553882.htm

it'd be on the twisties that he'd have you. the Noble is one of the best handling cars in the world. definately in my perfect 10 car garage.

"Proportionately speaking, lobsters are the least intelligent creatures alive, apart from Wayne Rooney." LMFAO :rofl::rofl: Nice find Kim

Bloke I play rugby with drives a MX5 convertible. He's 6' 4", 18st and fits in it ok. However, he does look a bit...........odd driving it and it wouldn't be a car I would choose for myself. Alex

very true. cracking couplle of races recently and stoner has made a few mistakes. should be a good run in to the end of the season.

ridiculous decision IMHO. hamilton had no-where to go except the side of raikoenen(sp) and he gave the place back!! :rant:

fantastic race. i really like the lack of traction control especially in the wet. makes the races far more unpredictable.

pmsl. that didn't take long

Thats unreal. I'm 26 with an j-spec NA and Admiral quoted me over £700. No points or crashes and over 5 yrs NCB. Elephant, who are the same company, quoted me around £570. Just goes to show that insurance is just a lottery. Alex

Yep I love my Zed when it works properly but it has an intermittent high idle problem at the mo so it is a case of love the Zed one day, hate it the next.

Saw a silver 300 on the Mcdonalds roundabout going towards Gt Cornard at about 9.30. Very nice looking example from what I saw too. Anyone on here? Alex

Normally Aspirated (no turbos). All the best Zeds are NA's :wack: *ducks behind the sofa in anticipation of large ammounts of abuse*

I have changed the sensor but the wiring harness conector is damaged so the metal clip is useless and it could just have been coming apart. I have just used the ty-wrap method suggested by Trevz to see what happens but it does look a tad messy so wll be something I will attend to in the future. Cheers Alex

Yeah I'm sure I've seen them somewhere but that would then expose my terrible soldering skills lol! Chcked the TPS today (voltage was spot on already) and set the base idle although it didn't need adjusting much. Fairly certain that there is a loose connection somewhere because the car has been fine for the last 2 days. Think all I can do is wait for it to go wrong again and then try fiddling with it. Thanks for the help guys. Alex

Dan: cheers for all the info. I will set the idle and TPS correctly anyway but i have an NA so need not worry about the boost leak. Kinda hope cleaning the o2 connectors will help because the problem is intermittent but I will contact you if i need a pair. Splitfyr3: checked the pages you suggested fairly certain i've done the diag correctly. Unfortunately points to a left o2 sensor constantly lean :( Trevz: interesting point. The yellow conector on the temp sensor has broken so I can't use the metal clip to keep it in place. Think I'll use your idea and see what happens. Cheers guys, I have a few things to check/do now that will hopefully cure it. Bloody car has been running perfectly today tho :D Alex

Evenin all, My car has a history of idling high (2000rpm) and I thought I had cured it with a replacement idle valve but the problem has returned, only this time it seems to be intermittent and sometimes has a bit of hunting. I have just got in after carrying out an ecu diagnostic check (got a code 55, happy days) and also checked the o2 sensors. From my understanding the left o2 sensor is constantly lean (engine light is always off) but the right is fine (engine light blinks). Could this be the cause of the high idle? Are the connectors for the o2 sensor reachable (if so where are they?) or do they go straight to the ecu? Any help much appreciated because this problem is really beginning to get to me :smash:. ps I have cleaned all connectors (maf, TPS, idle valve etc, and fitted a series 2 PTU) and throttle bodies. cheers :duffer: Alex

looks good mate and i like the originality.

pretty depressing pics. hate to see zeds end up like that :cry:

LMAO thats excellent. love the attention to detail in the cubicle

yep pretty pleased. all going well i should be back on the road by the end of the week :hyper: been far too long.

looks fantastic mate :duffer:

pmsl :rofl:

this is a great upgrade. i would be interested if you were planning on producing a few kits. however i have a series 1 N/A. i guess i would need tt calipers too?

one rear light not working :D could have been a lot worse considering it's been off the road since christmas. should be ready for me to pick up tomorrow.

might be talking rubbish but have you checked the ptu to make sure it's working? from what i've read and experienced it can cause no ignition until it cools down. might be why it worked when you plugged your ecu in.
