How close to the side wall is it? I got a nail in one of rears literally 2 weeks after having all 4 tyres replaced! It was approximately an inch and a half from the side wall. I took it back to the fitter who put the tyres on for me and he refused to repair it and tried to get me to order a new one. I was going to do so but my old man talked me out of it and advised me to try elsewhere. I ended up getting it fixed for £15 rather than paying well over £100 for a new tyre. I was pretty wary about driving it at first but it's been a few months and a couple of thousand miles since and no problems. I'd get a second opinion if I were you.

Disgusting how the system allows people like this to get away with what they've done. I hope they throw away the key this time but since there is no CCTV footage his lawyers will probably get him off with it again! It makes my blood boil. My dad was a PC (thankfully now retired) and I understand how worrying it can be having family members in the police especially when they have scum like this allowed to walk free. I'm glad your son has recovered and hope the latest victim is also going to be OK. It really reinforces the idea that the public shouldn't get involved, call the police and leave it at that, but how many of us would instictively do the same and follow the guy until the police arrived? Or even try to tackle him? I know I couldn't just stand by. But look where it gets you...

Add another one to the count!

Nice one Fellas!

Last summer I went on a road trip round the North of Scotland and one morning went through for breakfast at my B&B, meeting the other guests as I did so. They were an English couple in their fifties who had travelled North to look at a boat they were considering buying but all the guy wanted to talk about was my orange Japanese "SUPERCAR" (his word, not mine!) that was sitting in the driveway. He talked about it all through breakfast and then when I went to leave and carry on my trip he insisted on walking me out to the car and having a look around and a seat in it. Thing is, the previous day I had hit a deer which was lying (already dead) in the middle of the road. I was unsighted because of the Range Rover in front of me which of course easily cleared it, no such luck for the low slung Zed. I clattered it at about 40 despite slamming on the brakes and was dismayed to discover the underside panel had been knocked loose and was scraping the ground. With no garages for miles around I ingeniously tied it up with 2 shoelaces to stop it scraping. He didn't seem to notice! I also, at the time, had a slightly warped brake disc at the front which scraped audibly whenever I hard locked the steering to left so I was hoping he wasn't going to stick around to watch me reverse out the driveway. Of course he did and probably went back into the house thinking those cars aren't all they're cracked up to be!

Brilliant job, the car looks great! Wish I had the patience for doing this...

It was £735 inc postage from Car Audio Giant, cheapest price I could find, it retails at around £850 I believe. Not cheap but it does everything (sat nav, DVD etc) so it's perfect for what I was looking for. I also bought the usual ICT loom and fascia surround from sextons, all in not much change out of £800! Worth it though...

Hey everyone, I've had my zed for about a year and a half and recently decided to upgrade my head unit (my stock unit had an extremely irritating habit of cutting the left channel when playing CDs). I managed to get the job done over the weekend and couldn't have done it without this forum. I'd especially like to say thanks to Rob_Quads for his brilliant how-to guide. Also to everyone else who has done an install and posted progress, pictures etc, I think I read through them all in the name of research! Here's a picture of my finished install (the scratch on my centre console has been there since I got the car, think that'll be my next job!)

One of them was probably me!

One of them was quite possibly mine, my folks live in Troon. And I know of another sunset in the area too. Portland is a tough course, I struggle to break 80 round there!
