Now I know your joking....don't drive it for a month....are you insane

Sorry for the gratuitous use of pics but she is beautiful The cloth used was a Gtechniq MF2 Zero Scratch Microfibre Drying Towel 36x24" £10.99 on fleabay The Mit a 100% wool no scratch from Tesco £6.99 The soap Autoglym Shampoo & Conditioner £7.00 fleabay

Well update waited 2 and a half weeks and had to wash her...covered in grime and still some chalk......rinsed thoroughly....used light ph shampoo only...was told not to use any force but let the mit do the work...I did ...good job I was warned that a small amount of colour transfer to the mit is normal for the first few washes and that I shouldn't wax until at least a month....used the super drying / polishing cloth recomended in another post and boy am I grateful to that dude using it was a revelelation. Bearing in mind my car was totally unloved and abused by its previous owner I'm off to a good start will post pics when I'm online . Doug

Someone please post the correct postcode and address for this meeting point as there are two listed on the Tescos site and there a goodly amount apart..please

Four Weeks & three days of that she was off being re sprayed ( roof / tailgate / bonnet ) oh and clutch slave replaced......

is that the Dibden superstore or the HytheTesco express ?

Nah it's the first time it's happened in a month of ownership and it was a very short 5 mile journey, could just be me hyper sensitive to everything as the car is new to me

Hey peeps on a short journey this morning the revs on idle where around the 12 / 1300 mark but returned to 900 with a blip is this normal ?. Btw the car was warmed up....journey about 5 miles Thanks in advance

Hi me and plus one, is anyone else going from the Chichester area ?, any news on where were meeting up to enter en mass ? Doug

The camera comment wouldn't fly as I was with the Mrs

I would just like to reassure everyone that under no circumstances are crumbs permitted in the Zed

Me and the Mrs are right made up....tonight whilst having our late supper.....cough.....McDonalds....cough the young thing at the collection point leant right out and said " your cars ace m8 you must get compliments all the time " choking back a tear.....we drove off into the night to park up and eat all the time pondering the mystery of the Zed

HELP my rims came with the car but the centres are borked and I need replacements if anyone knows of any ? I would be eternally grateful, also one of my deep rear rims has been kerbed by the previous owner and it looks like a large rat has nibbled it is it worth the agro of eventually having them professionally refurbished ?

Thanks peeps its a bit disconcerting the first time your wife says here my bags bottom is hot in one sentence

Don't know what happened there nice to know its normal )

Being a relative new owner can anyone help, is it normal for the floor to get warm when driving ?

mixture...including a 25mile traffic jam on the M25 resulting in the dreaded clutch pedal drop ( now fixed ) and some more shall we say ...energetic driving

OK first proper run in my baby and I get 375miles for £91.00 of petrol super at 1.34 a ltr according to me averages just short of 25mpg is that about right ?

Slight variation on this thread and should probably be in another thread entitled first few weeks of Zed ownership experiences or sum such : Having had my Zed now for nearly a month these things have happened to me: kid ( teenager ) pedestrian whilst in slow traffic steps in front of me and takes a pic been let out of more junctions than ever before had drivers ( mainly young males ) wolf whistle the car as I pass had a female neighbour ask for a ride been tailgated by a b..ch in a golf in traffic blowing her horn and flashing lights ?

So at least a week and a ph neutral wash only ( autoglim ) then maybe a month before a proper wash and wax.

Hi guys just got my car back after having the roof and tailgate re painted and the car looks damn fine apart from the odd piece of white dust, how long should I leave it before giving her the first wash ?, bear in mind she's black and its very warm at the moment. Thanks

You'll be fine doing the annual or 9000 miles unlike my poor beasties second owner who did 18000 and serviced her 0

The first flush of Zed ownership
