M13KYF Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 you would need to change the pods for a UK one. The speedo whould of been done for the SVA test. Unsure on the rev thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgomez1978 Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 it didnt do it all the time just every so often it was only for a split second but i wasnt sure about the vibrations in the gearstick it was doing it all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Thought the vibration in the gear stick was a common occurance on earlier cars and was nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgomez1978 Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 the vibrations in the gearstick are not bad i can just feel it in the gearstick when im accelerating. the main problem is the speedo clock in kmh would it just be a straight swap with an english one to convert it or something more technical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the speedo clock, does this do it all the time, and does it allways fall back slowly, you sure it ant just coming back from its own accord, with chainging the clocks over, im not to sure where you would get some u.k spec ones, prob gonna be quite expensive .....

You can always feel a 'tremor' on the gearstick on the move or idling. If you have lingering doubts it might be worth trying/riding in another ZED for comparison to see if yours seems worse. Perhaps someone on here local to you can help with the comparison, failing which just go for a test drive where one is for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
