Hi folks. I'm after a front drivers side fog light and the radiator fan bottom shroud.Thanks folks. Trev.

Hi folks Went through all the testing Jeff suggested and it pointed to it being two duff clusters.Managed to source a set locally off another member and all is good. Just bad luck with the second cluster being duff.Thanks everyone for your help ,much appreciated. Trev.

Hi All, looking for a working set of clocks for my zed. Speedo is knackered by the looks of it and with my luck, the clock set I bought to replace was also duff. If anyone has a set I would be really interested. All the best Trev

Hi All, well just did the tests as Jeff suggested and at the speedo and check connection, I was getting variable voltage. Tried this on both sets of clocks that I have. Reckon the speedo on the second set of clocks I bought must also have been broken. Can these be fixed or is it off to get another set of clocks and hope for the best? Cheers all Trev

Thanks for all the suggestions folks. Haven't been using any consult cables so that's not the problem but good call anyway Lymon. Rolandas, connected speed senor to my power drill and got variable voltage up to 3V - drill wouldn't go any faster - it needed charging!! Jeff, cheers for the info, will be going through your step by step list at the weekend so will let you know how I get on. After all the work I have had done to this, I can't believe a dodgy speedo has got me beat but I am determined to get it sorted. Thanks again Trev

Hi Folks, here is my story so far - I have drawn a blank so hope someone out there can help as I am slowly going crazy!! Speedo stopped working and power steering got heavy. removed clocks and re-soldered all connections on the speedo PCB replaced clocks - still no joy fitted secondhand set of clocks - still no joy fitted new VSS - still no joy so, now I have two sets of clocks and a spare VSS. Checked old VSS with multimeter and it's OK To eliminate this problem being the clocks, is there any way I can connect the VSS directly to the clocks whilst out of the car and if so what colour wires do I connect from the VSS to the speedo mylar sheet? I've checked continuity between pin 53 on the ECU and the connector at the clocks and this seems all good. Any advice on which colour wires I should be testing for continuity? Failing that, anyone know of a good Auto electrician in the merseyside area, although would be prepared to travel to get this bugger fixed. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks, Trev

I'm after a few parts for a mates car. spoiler brake light. rear side reflectors rear view mirror drivers seat[ twead] thanks trev

Hi everyone. Just like to say that I had quite a lot of work done on my zx this week by Jeff. Autobox fluid change, rockerbox oil leak, onepiece prop fitted. Turns out my leak was also camend seals. All the work done was photographed and emailed every night. Extra parts needed like plugs and pcv valves were supplied as very good second hand parts at a very good price. I had to travel 110 miles but would say the work carried out was worth every mile. Also gives you an excuse for a good drive home in a car that now runs spot on. I, like many others on this site would recommend Jeff, and a great bloke too. Lynda was good enough to pick us up from the train station as well. you don't get service like this very often. If like me your sitting at home thinking is it worth the journey down or should I just put the car in the local garage and hope for the best, I wouldn't think twice, - well worth the journey. Trev

many thanks.will be drowing myself in alchol and Christmas cheer.:laugh:.all the best to everyone for the new year

thanks people. had a great day.now off to drink more beer!

car hasn't been lowered but does have 17" wheels.i was told that they checked all ball joints etc and all seemed fine.the standard camber limits are -1deg35'to-0 deg05'.the car has a reading of -2deg22'.had the car 4 wheel aligned 4 years ago and was fine.the only changes have been a new steering rack.will let you know rebel scum if i need the arms.thanks for all the input people

thanks for your reply.i'll try and get it looked at first and then get any parts needed.seems to be plenty of cars being broken at the moment so should be able to get the parts.thanks again.

yes the print out shows that one side was ok with a reading of -1.25 deg.the other side shows a reading of -2.22deg.hope that helps.

yes that does help.had a look at the on line manual and can see what you mean.looks like i'll have to invest in some adjustable top links.can't see anything wrong with the top links at the moment,so maybe new shocks will allso help. many thanks trev.

anyone know where to get my suspension sorted out please.got a problem with the camber.had 4 wheel alignment and was told that something is probably bent as they could not set the camber.so if anyone knows of a garage in the merseyside area preferably. thanks trev.

1990 automatic na jap Had wear on nearside tyre, so had a 4 wheel alignment check done.was told they couldn't set it up as there must be damage to some part of the suspension.I was told it could possibly be the upper arm bent.I recently had a steering rack fitted so it may of been bent then.The problem i have now is.do i try and source a second hand upper arm assembly,or fit adustable upper arms.I was also told that new springs will help with camber.does anyone know where to source springs from?. thanks trev.

thanks guys.all the very best trev

thanks gary. only just sobered up enough to reply.all the best to you and yours for the coming year.lets hope it's a good one for the zed's! trev.

does anyone know where to get a recon steering rack for a 1990 na.or a good condition second hand one would be good. thanks.

thanks everyone.all the best for the new year and hope you all have a good one.

thanks for the birthday wish groover.another manic day celebrating christmas and birthday.ill have to drink double the amount today!

had a similar sound from my dash after fitting a hid kit.each time i had a click, revs would increase.i traced the clicking to the aiv control solenoid valve which is in the engine bay by the break master cylinder[directly behind your clocks].i never got to the bottom of this problem so maybe you might! best of luck.hope that all makes sense.
