HEADPHONES

Looking nice n mean

Well it's almost 10yrs since I took delivery of my Zed. Thought I'd ask fellow members if I've overlooked any servicing specifics at 10 yrs. She's booked in for a P2 service and m.o.t next week. Ordered spark plugs, gearbox and diff oil from Clarke Motorsport. Asking my indie garage to do coolant and brake fluid. Had new pads 10k ago. I don't do mega miles and have only 43k on the clock but now got a squeak from rear when it's bumpy. Hopefully it gets diagnosed correctly on the day.

This is the last weekend of the 20% discount at Costco. 4 litres of Castrol Edge FST 5W30 4 litres of Castrol Edge Titanium FST 0w30 All £26.99 including vat. Not seen a better price than this for Castrol's finest!

Seeing threads like this shows how much damage can be done in RTAs. Glad to hear you are all ok. Was only a couple years back we lost a member to a road accident

I'm glad you found the forum. It really adds to the enjoyment of zed ownership. Great source of info on zed's and members will often help with advice on many non zed related topics too.

Looking good Is that a champagne silver respray or just the lighting? Either way it sets the zed off a treat!

First job is a pin to unblock the washer jets. Hopefully this works. if not the blockage could be further down the pipework. Once one of my cars actually had the water reservoir full of algae causing the blockage......ewwww.

For dings I think it's deffo worthwhile getting a PDR guy to massage them out. If you are anywhere near Bolton I know a great place that has a Saturday drop in clinic. Guy is very busy and ciz he spends zero time travelling on the Saturday prices are VERY good!

Matt.......the zed looks purrrrfect. I can't see anything else that you'd need to do looks wise. Enjoy the summer in your chariot

When my battery failed, when I turned the key the alarm went off and car still started.

Back in 2006 I wanted to get the missus an R50 Cooper S. She hated it on the test drive. Hated the ride and the gear change. The sales woman could tell so offered another test drive in her own standard Cooper. Wife said it was night and day finding it much easier to drive. So bought her the Cooper on standard 15's. So far in 9 years of ownership we've been lucky. Just a leaking thermostat housing in year 3. Oh.... and a wierd howling/wind noise when I hit about 80mph (on a trackday :wink: ). Not a problem for us as its hardly ever on a motorway but could bug the hell out of a heavy motorway user! Going in for a new exhaust tomorrow due to a rusted back box which is quite common but cheap fix. eBay exhausts from around £60, but gonna try a custom stainless long life one for £375. My favourite option is the heated seats which puts the Zed's to shame. Freezing to toasty in 10-15 seconds on our cloth seats! Happy hunting

Love sunset orange. Always find that an overcast day never does it justice. But at night.......under lighting, the paint comes alive and is practically glowing

Sorry I can't help about deactivating the airbags but there's always the Nissan Skyline 350GT if you want a 4 seated zed. http://www.9tro.com/features/tuned-cars/nissan-skyline-v35-350gt-infiniti-g35

Welcome back. PS. We never tire of pics of zeds so post up some photos of your newly acquired chariot when you have time :wave:

Mmmm......shiney lips. I bet your eyes can't help gazing at your rims when you park up

A big thank you to veef 13. I ordered 3 sets of mats for our cars. Arrived promptly from valuecarmats.com Fit is perfect. Where the OEM mats have retaining holes so do these. Where the OEMs have velcro retainers like in my Mini the new ones do too. Slightly thinner than the originals but only just. The backing is similar to the OEM zed mats, not the foam rubbish that came with my original Mini and Kia mats. The foam stuff is not nearly as hard wearing. I was only charged one p&p charge for the 3 sets and woth the discount code it was about £9.99 a set DELIVERED!

I have a friend who runs a Nissan Leaf for his Mon to Fri commute from Warrington to Manchester. Only thing is It's almost at the limit of its range so he drives with heaters off during winter But at the weekend he runs a lovely R35! He absolutely loves his leaf too as that commute would be too much for him to justify in his GTR.

Bose often give a 30 day money back trial. For travelling on planes and the underground I found them hard to beat for noise cancellation. I have the QC3. Had them so long I'm on my 2nd set of replacement earpads........we like serviceable parts :wink: Me and a mate tested them against builders ear defenders while using an SDS drill on a wall and the Bose kept more noise out

My wife has a 2006 R50 Mini Cooper with a rotting back box. Had it from new and looking to keep it long term. Option 1 is for an OEM one from BMW.........probably the least economical. Option 2 is a Cobra system........probably too loud/droney for mum to do the school run in Option 3 is a custom made one made deliberately quiet. For custom systems it seems Topgear In Stockport are my local long life exhaust fitters. Anyone had any dealings with these guys?

The guy who plays Vin Diesel could be his brother from another mother

Thanks for the heads up and the discount code! Just ordered a set for the Zed, a BMW Mini and a Kia Sportage. £29.99 for all 3 cars delivered is a bargain. I will report back on receiving them

Surely this can't be real

Some scary sh!t went down
