Iv had my airbag light come on late yesterday, I think it's directly related to me trying to push something under the drivers seat. A reset took it off but it's back this morning so iv unplugged the cables, blown on them and re plugged. Fingers crossed il let you know if it comes back on lol

Is the unresonated too loud? I wish I could hear one in the flesh as youtube videos it's hard to judge. I want a bit of rasp & the odd pop and bang.

Heat shield possible as you mentioned. I had a noise coming from what sounded like engine bay but it was a badly fitted exhaust with the silencer resting and rattling on the w brace underneath after wearing through the shims somebody wedged between the two to avoid this. Iv read into this and other causes are the fallout bearing, somebody had an air con belt which was loose.

Iv just bought one, well my bodyshop guy has. it is a two part item which sticks down using double sided tape. I'm getting my roof sprayed and removing windscreen is needed. My strip has two bits either side cracked off also.

I was just about to post a similar topic - I'm glad this thread is here. I too am considering a cobra, currently running a japspeed k1 exhaust with baffles in as a daily. With baffles I do like the sound, without its just too loud. To be fair with them in its still too loud but bare able. I don't do many miles nor travel on the motorway often. Iv been considering a non resonated as I like the rasp and enjoy the odd pop and bang. What I don't like is the look of my exhaust with baffles. Iv painted them black to hide them a little. Also aftermarket so no sticking out inner tube. I don't like the 4.5 in pipes either, just a bit too big. If I can fit my fist up it its too big (first time iv had to say that) Also considering a true dual as I like the symmetric look although not the japspeed one and others are out of budget realistically, unless I get a forum find.

Any sound clips?

I can't seem to stay away from T-Juice Cubana - Steeped from real tobacco leaves. Has a very dark colour to it. You get that authentic taste rather than a tobacco flavour substitute. I do still have the odd cigar now and again but vape whilst at work

I see you Ricey, shaking that ass... I'm getting some paintwork done to my car shortly so ill wait a few weeks to make sure its 100% cured and re-visit this idea.

I just don't want a flat matt finish which is why I would opt for the gloss/ pearl top coat. I know buying the kit adds up but I'd only need to pay for the paint.. if you can call it paint.. rubber paint.. We discussed how there isn't any company we know of doing this type of thing locally & I said I could be the Guinnea pig so to speak

Has anybody here ever plasti-dipped a whole car before? I can imagine cleaning it would be a pain as it will be a bit rubbery Reason I ask is I was discussing it with somebody who repairs cars and he offered to help me out and let me borrow his compressor & spray gun. I'd just have to pay for the materials. I wouldn't mind a deep blood red colour with pearl topcoat.

A blast from the past I wonder if this has sold I saw Buster had it advertised recently. Looked a nice car.

Which model exhaust do you have?

I saw the add for the car which they are on, there is a link to it somewhere in the spotted on ebay section. They are hideous, that's what they are lol

Welcome Stephanie, take your time if you can to find the right zed. Took me a few weeks and few hundred miles of traveling. Only insurance tips I can give is move in with your other half and stick them on as a named driver and relation 'Co habiting/ civil partner' dropped my quote from £650 to £400. 25y/o 7yr ncb I ended up buying a 05' de with 56k miles for £7k although needed some prep such as tyres and a little paintwork (good tyres aren't cheap)

I had the same problem, you need a cr2016 button battery (£1 on ebay). Remove one tiny Phillips screw from the fob, prise open the casing and switch with old battery. Simples

Hi all, Today after a long run my engine management light came on I've done the pedal dance - though I've never diagnosed anything like this and need a little help. I have recorded how many times the light flashes, though I'm finding it difficult to make a code out of it. EDIT: Is this code P1167 Heated O2 Sensor 2? Car is an 05' DE with 57k mileage We've had a few cold mornings lately where I live which may have affected things. The car gets used daily but doesn't travel far at all, today I took it for a good run. Not sure if parking close to a wall/ garage door daily tail end first may affect things either, assuming it is the 02 sensor? Any help much appreciated

This thread is amazing! Graham seems quite pleased in that photo - I'm guessing his clubs must have fit!

Oh no! such a nice zed and FI also! I bet that was quick! Loads of cars my way were written off also with this terrible weather.

Looks like a BMW 3 series, Maserati and Jag XF had a love child

I've never driven a 6 series, but I did consider going to test drive one and possibly buy one before the Zed. It is a sexy motor! In the end I thought the Zed was heavy enough for what it was (I was originally after a Z4 3.0, S2000 or Boxster 3.2) I'm glad I got my Zed, the noise and this forum were enough to convince me it was the right choice. Not much can beat the interior of the German cars without blowing loads of money though.

My mother has a Corsa 1.0 ecoflex - 2011 plate if i remember correct. 0-60 in 18.2 seconds.. She says she doesn't need a powerful car. Probably best to be honest lol Its not possible your 1.4 is as thirsty on fuel as your zed, unless it has a fuel leak

Ekona I'm sure you've been asked this before but how does the power and handling of the 645i compare the the 350z? Does the 645i feel heavier? I'm just looking at figures 333bhp isn't too shabby

Almost 6 months for me Loving the car and ownership. The longest I've kept a car is about four years - I think I'll be keeping the zed for longer! I test drove my brothers new Audi TT 2.0 S Tronic yesterday, but I prefer my zed! it sounds better and has something special about it. I also met my first forum member at a car meet yesterday also. Zed owners are all nice people it seems

Do you have a standard exhaust? If not, it could be touching the crossmember underneath like mine. Only when warm as it must expand ever so slightly. Or heatshield loose as others have said. Iv heard the release bearing can cause a knocking noise.

I have doubts this invention will be very effective, purely because every car door is a different shape and different height. It would be purely chance that this stops a door ding. What you need is to make some stick-on armour... similar to the Citroen Cactus
