Old Zed

Bazz, You can get the case switched back to your home court, it is not the defendant that decides where its held but the Plaintiff, unless of course they are on 'benefits' which I doubt if she was driviing a VW Tourag. Go back down to your local county court and tell them you wish it to be local.

You can buy mk2 PTU's from Smithy(IoM) for £135 including the conversion loom. Thats cheap, and it turned up the next day.

Does the boost leak tester have instructions..............

The L1 is a great camera and its got the biggest optical zoom but in all fairness anything with Nikon stamped on it will be absolutely fine. I use a Nikon SLR and its awesome. Get the L1 and enjoy.

You should always do compressions tests wet & dry and make sure you pull the fuel pump fuse. The difference between the 2 tests will tell the condition of your piston rings.

I'm surprised. Jimmer bought some followers from the States and paid for Airmail. Two weeks went by and I contacted the seller for tracking info. It was purchased on the 3rd Feb and flew out of O'hare airport, Chicago the same day. It arrived at the Royal Mail, Patchway on the 5th of Feb where we collected after paymenton of Import Taxes on the 21st of Feb. The Royal Mail had not bothered to tell us and they told me that if it was not claimed within 21 days, they would return it to the sender. I asked why they had not informed us about it turning up and they said that Customs & excise should do that, which of course they don't. At the Royal Mail, Patchway they sounded as tho' they don't give a f**k, and probably don't send things back at all, but it somehow dissappears under the pretence of being sent back. A right load of w*****s.

In answer to your question regarding the sterio you will have to get an aerial adapter and an electrical wiring adaptor to allow a new sterio to fit straight in the Zed. All good in car entertainment suppiers should sell them, they are also occasionally on Ebay, sadly not at the moment.

I took mine Enkei split wheels to be refurbished and they reckon that if you split them, it causes a lot of problems when trying to reseal them. The difference in price between to split or not to split was £120 per wheel.

Of course he is not bothered about the 'facts', he is only bothered about selling for good money......typical.

Contact the Isle O Man fella, I bought one off him recently for £130.....a bargain

You have got 2 srews holding the mounting bracket just above the boot floor and then another 2 nuts where it exits through the wing.....nothing else to do except disconnexct the aerial lead and the electric plug.

By the way, N15SAN is owned by a Nissan Dealer and it was on a 350Z.

Sounds like it was the coppers that nicked that £40 million quid in Tunbridge.

Who is going to lend him a laptop ? Come on guys the bloke needs help...........desperately.

Ive got a 12 bore for sale for when you find the b******s.

If I was going to buy a leather kit, it would most certainly be from the Zcentre. He just seems to only deal in quality goods, and that is from experience..

If the matrix is not leaking why not try and flush it through, if possible that is. If your engine coolant is clean, and you have never suffered a headgasket failure, which would put crap in the system, then try it. Also is the valve which controls the flow of water to the matrix working properly.

I know they are b******s when they start playing up, but usually it is something simple when they are popping and banging. The connector to the CAS unit is one area that we seem to forget but it does corrode and cause misfires and bad starting. Take the connector off and clean both sides (cable and CAS unit). Usuallt doea the job.

Must be a four seater, long wheelbase, turbo diesel version.

If the car has had a top end bypass (pipes removed under the plenum) they do run cooler and take longer to warm up, but definitely check your thermostat.

I would also be tempted to run an ECU diagnostics check to make all is OK. The most common problem which some are not aware of when first owning a zed is the knock sensor. Because the car still goes damn well in safety boost they think everything is OK. If all is OK you should get a code 55.

Buy a Nova !!

I would advise both of you to get in touch with the Trading Standards Department local to the trader involved, who will also tell you your rights and also if there are other cases in process. If so they would be interested in your details as well, as you would be able to contribute to their prosecution. They will also tell you the best way to proceed.

I didn't know you were into that Al, your secrets out, besides my garage is freezing.

Looking forward to Castle Coombe in May......age is a state of mind, its just the body that gives up.
