Yeah your right mate - its a license loser this one is'nt it! Hence 30mpg is the 130miles round motorway trip to work each day- its a boring trip but its made bearable in the Zed, like you say when you get in it every day its like day one

Stew when you say Central heating controller - you mean the timer ?? They should not have touched anything there should they???? No flow charts for error analysis in the instructions for your boiler? They usually have a flow chart for you to follow for such events? I would be tempted to reset the electricity again by switching off the mains or at least the power to the controller? See if that does anything? I found this forum to be useful with my Baxi boiler recently? http://www.diynot.com/forums Hope this helps?

Following on from Mark W's Employment law question - I just wondered - are you all happy with your jobs? Ignore the fact that you have to do it for the mortgage and road tax on your Zed and kids and dogs etc - are you actually happy doing your job? It would be interesting to see? Stan

You mean you wear clothes in your Zed??? Oops! Should have I not mentioned that? Those heated seats can get a bit too hot in places

Nice little stories guys. I must say the 17 year old Chav girl at a bus stop on Sunday morning her eyes nearly popped out! Hey I'm in there .... he he he he No seriously since I have had this car from Saturday afternoon! I have had no usual angry motorway behaviour - people have let me out, people have had a good nosey at it even though its covered in road poo, I'm no poser - really honestly I love it for me (purely selfish) had the roof off all the way home tonight till I had to pull over at lights when the heavens opened near home - no one shouted smart-arse comments at me and when I signalled to be let out again into heavy slow traffic no worries at all? What is it about this car - ok it looks fast it goes fast its not your boy racer special like a Scoob it seems to cross the age and white van man driver spectrum? I really love this! You'd get scoffed at if it was a TT roadster? Stuff the expensive, tax, petrol and insurance !! Lets hope this behaviour continues - even my next door neighbour who normally only says hello now and again when she feels like it - is chatting to me like never before Long may it continue........... Have I mentioned the noise it makes - stuff the stereo I could just listen to that alone - the heated seats could cook eggs, the heater could boil cabbage - everything is just right (except the door rattle - think I have sussed that - spot of grease in the right location I am hoping will solve it?) One last thing average 30 mpg so far better than expected.

Well she was rather attractive - give me time! Ha in my dreams! No the car gets the limelight not me Cant wait for the 3 days of sunshine If we have £1000 tax then we need to go French stylie and ACT! Don't grumble about it!

Just parked up this morning and as I walked across my works car park I heard a girl talking to some bloke who just got out of their company beemer Hey thats a 350z roadster ...I really fancy one of those..... I just grinned to myself - Zeds is cool baby! Nice comments indeed

Blimey bet you have slippers when you get in ? Good news my handbrake cable warning light is now working properly and car is nice and dry again! I even managed to drop the roof today and go for a run out at lunch - yes it did not rain for 10 minutes!!

Better not to check Nixy - just we all need to start saving now!!

Well it seems to be working ...

I also work in IT - its just the way of life in this job I'm afraid Do as everyone has said - keep records, go and see a solicitor - an initial brief chat should be free, but regardless its worth spending the money. I would stick it out and get the cash - its going to be hard but be strong and have the last laugh I can probably guess which firm you are being taken over by but best not mention here - we have them also! - God help us alll! good luck Stan

Unfortunately this is the country we live in - what next Red colour cars will be banned or pay an excess as they absorb the heat from the sun more than say silver which reflects it back! Mad

Oh Matron I like your shiny stubby! Gonna get something hopefully this weekend for mine - bob into the local car shop - so most people have Honda Stubbies??

Nixy he's got a BMW - let him trash it - better of with Zeds!! Most people are either messy or not messy generally - either in a car and house or one or the other! I always kept all my cars mint inside even 20 year old Vw beetles - way I look at it - you would'nt sit in a chair full or crap why drive in one? Each to their own I guess.........

Not biased in anyway what so ever but get Night Blue !! So you have to wax it after every wash hey its just 3 hours of your life every weekend!!

I'm sooo sorry its all my fault - ever since I got my Zed its rained non stop - sorry sorry sorry I should make a fortune in the Sahara desert for rain making provision!

Oh hang on bit harsh !! But I know what you mean - they dont take the care. Sadly I was speaking to a mate from my old company and talking about this gal we both worked with - and she said oh yes Stan I remember he always told me off for slamming his car door!!!(I had a new MR2 roadster then.) Nice to be remembered for the right reason! Paranoia is a wonderful thing.........

Ok now that I drive a Zed its so damn hard to spot others I am not in my lofty perch anymore -If that was you Squarehead I did'nt spot you until you flew past sorry? Also yesterday Grey coupe ****FUT on St Davids Park roundabout? Stuey you must still have your cloaking device on, still not seen your mean machine?

I know same here how come I can eat a twix in the car and not have any crumbs of chocolate stuck to the seat but other half managed to get it everywhere!! No more.......

Fumbled about this morning and managed to spill hot water down the handbrake and centre console area from my thermal mug - fortunately its just water not coffee - handbrake light was on and off for most of trip - hopefully it will dry out and be ok - also found the mug does'nt fit in the door cup holder too tall - oh well no food or drinks in the Zed then!

Everyday so far no choice - until I get a cheap van

Dont worry about it mate I completely agree with you - the coupe does look better - they should have made the roof a bit more rakish in keeping with the coupe not just a small camping cover! Having said that I love the way it folds away. I'm a hardened fresh air head I drop moi top as long as its not raining so yeah about 3 days in the year! Fifth gear is not the best , they should spend the time with more detailed reviews not just a coffee table whistle stop guide to everything! But its no way near as the worse so called car programme on the planet - vroom vroom - what the ...... its terrible

Yeah your right my roadsters rear end looks as large as Beyonces, but I dont care the car is marvelous! It redeems itself when the roof is down

Thanks for the aerial advice gentlemen

I will find out tomorrow if I am working that weekend and if so try to get the day off. I quite like those yellow reflectors I know the clear ones look ace though but happy at the mo - only mod I want to do soon is swap the aerial for a stubbie - easy enough to do ??? Not even looked under the rear wing (constant rain) are there any sheildings to remove etc? Thanks
