HEADPHONES

Happy hunting. Hope you find a cherished motor.

How time flies. Zed is about to enter it's 8th winter on it's original battery. I reckon I'll get an Exide battery with 65A and a cold crank of 580 come change time. I reckon old battery is living on borrowed time so may change it despite it still seeming perfect. What would you do and has anyone had the original battery last more than 8 yrs?

Bought me some 5w30 for the zed, the mini and my kia. KIA sportage 2l diesel takes 8 litres! Makes the zed look frugal. Offer ends 25th November.

Even more scary was when I went to an Indy garage to get bushes done on my old prelude shortly after.they showed me that one of the bolts holding the strut on was missing. NEVER WENT BACK TO RYLAND HONDA EVER AGAIN! Only went coz I heard a snap from the front. They said couldn't see a problem. 3 weeks later fail me on MOT....snapped spring WHERE I TOLD THEM EARLIER! Then the wheel nuts loose. Fail fail fail.

Tell me about it. The guy who worked on it must of forgot to torque them up right. Lucky was only a short drive home and I checked it straight away. I remember one member actually had the rim come off mid drive. Mine weren't loose and coming off.....just not torqued enough. Still scary thought though!

Also check that the wheel nuts are not loose. I had similar sound once and that was the cause.

From reading stuff on detailingworld I think modern leather seats are actually leather with a plastic like coating. Damage is mostly caused by ingrained dirt acting as an abrasive. Keeping the surface clean minimizes such wear, whereas products leaving a sticky oily surface attracts more dirt to stick to the surface which causes premature wear. One good product is DR LEATHER WIPES off ENVY....a trader on here.

Had my belts tightened at L&G in Manchester today. Saw Mike's Azure there. MIKE......ARE YOUR RIMS EVER DIRTY! Spotless as always:)

Welcome to the world of zed ownership.

When I was about 12 I bought my first 12" "Hey You" by THE ROCK STEADY CREW I aspired to being a breakdancer but only managed to injure myself numerous times whilst looking ridiculous!

I'm at L&G this Friday at 2pm to get my squealing belts tightened. Last time I was there I bumped into 2 other zedders and we had a mini meet!

Was £30/4l before discount. Should make it £24 for a 4litre can after! Offer only runs for a couple of weeks. Don't forget the zed needs about 4.7l though

You lot jinxed me. Replaced my belts with Gates ones few months ago as old ones were cracking. Squealing like an old jalopy this week on start up:( Very embarrassing when people stare with disapproval!

Top tunes I'd have to add my all time favourite driving tune "move b$tch....get out the way" by Ludacris, ( I'm doin' 100 on the highway, so if you do the speed limit get the f**k outta my way )

Can't beat that Friday feeling.....UNLESS ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY TOO! Have a good one

Pure vanity in my case

One passed me by today. Not sure if it was an original colour resembling sunset orange or a respray in Nissan's finest. I think it was a mid nineties model.

Yesterday lunchtime on Wilmslow road with aftermarket black rims.

Today at 6.30pm at the roundabout joining Birchfield Rd and Kingsway

A friend has a 56 plate Audi A8 3.0tdi. Apparently it comes with fancy airbag suspension struts that lower the ride height at speed and raise it around town. One has gone faulty. Audi have quoted £1500 each just for the part and advise replacing as a pair and not just the front drivers side Then there's the labour ontop These fancy premium products sure do carry a premium maintenance cost. To make matters worse his DPF filter is buggered (about a grand) and the 19s that came with it were replicas and have developed cracks Suddenly my Zed looks like a budget car in maintenance terms.

If there was another car apart from the zed that I reckoned suits you THIS WOULD BE IT Even space for sprogs in the back

Oops my bad......meant to say 5w30. Will edit title.

Saw this at Costco for the first time. 25% cheaper than Opie oils price.
