Those look like excellent roads! great pictures too!

I thought I'd sort the rear washer jet problem yesterday as I had nothing better to do ... It's a bit fiddly to change over but overall it was very easy to sort out ...

My RE040's were worn really badly on the inner part of the tyres ... I've since had them changed to Falkens and had 4 wheel laser aligned tracking done ... Hopefully that should have sorted out th issue for me ..

Thanks for the link Yukmouth ... Do you know if that's the correct bulb for the zed?

Hi, Can anyone recommend any good LED side light bulbs ... I think my current bulbs have an orange colour to them and I'd prefer if they matched the headlights (i.e White) ... I don't want anything that will make the car look chavy (blue tint etc) ... Any links would be much appreciated!

I've posted a link on a previous thread about tax which states the price increases and dates etc ... You can probably find it by looking on the directgov tax site ...

Yukmouth Those side light look brilliant! Do you have a link to the LED bulbs that you bought? Thanks!

The pictures look great! Are they the Ultimax discs? I've just placed an order with CS for the Ultimax discs and Yellowstuff pads yesterday ... can't wait to have them fitted!

Alright mate, It is usually advised that you change your pads when you fit new discs (unless your pads are newish) ... Any mechanic should be able to change them over without problems ... do you have Brembo calipers? I've just ordered some EBC Ultimax discs and EBC Yellowstuff pads for my Brembo setup from CS (a trader on here) ... and will be getting them fitted there too ...

Spotted this morning at 7:40am travelling towards Leicester ...

+1 Also you might want to check how much the Road Tax is going to be on that Zed using the link below: http://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPor ... le+Enquiry I think the tax band is based on when the vehicle was first registered rather than the year of manufacture... and you could end up on the higher road tax band ... unless the vehicle was registered as a PLG vehicle, in which case you'd be better off ...

Happy Birthday Nixy! Hope you have a great day!

Alright mate, Just thought I'd let you know what my situation was when purchasing my Zed ... I was all up for buying a 53 plate import and got a quote from a comparison site .. only to find that when I called the insurers up to confirm the details, their system didn't register that it was an import ... anyway after they corrected the mistake the insurance went up by a £1000. I was 28 at the time with 5 years NCB and in the end I didn't purchase that particular car ... I thought it made more sense to purchase a UK Spec Zed for £1000 more and save on the insurance every year ... Just make sure that they have the details correct on their system before you commit to buying the car ... I lost out on a £250 deposit for the first zed ... Good luck mate!

Welcome to the forum!

I changed the brakes on my Honda Civic years back and afterwards I was never a 100% confident in their stopping power ... IMO somethings are better left to the professionals ... Good luck with it though if you're doing it yourself

Neil, What discs and pads did you go for? I'm looking to get mine done in the next few weeks ...

Welcome to the forum

I've checked for any error codes and there were none reported ... Would it still throw up a code if the sensor was being sluggish ... by that I mean it's not completely failed but just not working as well as it could ... I have changed the way I drive to compensate for this but I still think it definitely shouldn't be like this ... being a sports car it's designed to be driven fast and a big part of that is being able to change gears quickly ... Let me know how the 370z compares, but as I said before I drove a friends Zed 2 weeks ago and it didn't have this problem ...

How you're scratching up the door handle? Don't you use remote lock and unlock?

It's defintely not normal behaviour as I recently drove a friends Zed and his doesn't do it ... I'm not too sure about the map theory either as my car is completely standard and therefore must have the original maps loaded ... They can't just start playing up for no reason can they? I've done a few ECU resets since and also the other been through the other various reset procedures and there was no change ... I'm now thinking it's down to something like a faulty sensor (maybe throttle position) ...

welcome to the forum! The best colour IMO ... as I also have a GM .. LoL

I have an 04 Zed ... I'm quite interested in the fly wheel theory ... what possible flywheel/clutch issues could cause this type of behaviour?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but why would the flywheel cause that to happen?
