  1. These have grown on me so much I've put down ........49p on this😜👌
  2. It was the immobiliser. L&G reset it all and it runs fine. The Mini's dash unit has been removed and sent to an electricis specialist for repair though. A loose connection means it's lost Speedo, tachometer, temperature gauge, abs, etc.
  3. My wife's R50 Mini is dead. Cranks but doesn't start. RAC spent an hour trying to start it but it's just not sparking. It was towed there Sunday night. I just went to drop the keys off. Hate electrical problems. I'd rather something mechanical any day
  4. Dropped my wife's car off at the garage and saw you there. Hope you're just in for servicing and nothing major.
  5. Good luck with your search. There are genuine gems that pop up so don't lose faith.
  6. You're only about an hour's drive from the Notcutts Garden Centre in Shirley. Our pre meet location for this Saturday. Meet up for a pre meet, then a 30 min blast down to our Autumn Zed breakfast meet that @davey_83 has booked for us. A pre meet. A convoy blast to the venue. A good breakfast. An after breakfast chinwag 20 down as going so far. What's not to like. https://facebook.com/events/s/autumn-breakfast-meet-/676190967781631/
  7. Wow That's Vroom811's zed! This car is an absolute gem. I watched on YouTube how he stripped EVERYTHING from underneath the car and sealed it from the elements. That's in addition to all the other work to get this car tip top. Congratulations on finding such a gem AND in Sunset Orange too
  8. Missus told the kids tonight that she'd planned LEGOLAND for us all that weekend Kids kicked off saying they're too old for LEGOLAND. So I'm now free for this
  9. When you next see a "free" battery check offer at Halfords, drive your car there. Switch their bogus battery back in. Call them out to check it. "Sir....... your battery is dead.....we can sell you a new one" Whip out your receipt and ask for your FREE replacement
  10. Coil pack failure seems to be quite common on Zeds. Had 2 fail on me a few months ago. I also opted to change out all 6. Couldn't be doing with the aggro of the others failing soon afterwards.
  11. Those are some quality images. The only problem is CHOOSING A FAVOURITE
  12. Took the family car for MOT and service. Always nice to see a Zed.
  13. Destined to be back in your hands. How many extra miles had it done since you sold it?
  14. Can't help with any discount codes, but once you've got a price, you may be surprised that your local independent tyre fitter may be able to match or beat it. My local guys matched Blackcircles and MyTyres on supplying MPS4s and included fitting.
  15. Welcome to the OC The Zed definitely has that special "something". Alot of modern offerings are sleeker and faster but the Zed still brings admiring glances and nods of acknowledgement. ........and those curvaceous arches ALWAYS make me look back at her If I had to describe a Zed to someone who's never seen one before, I'd say she's like Salma Hayek, Not the slimmest or most svelte. But for years unanimously appreciated for a dependable performance with killer voluptuous hips
  16. Welcome to the OC The ECU can't adjust the timing of the engine to run safely above around 4k revs on regular unleaded. It needs 98/99ron. The engine oil pressure gauge will read high on initial start up. It drops as engine oil warms up. Don't rag it until it's reached optimal oil pressure. This will read midway at when going 30mph in third or 40mph in fourth. A few Zeds are using oil so check when cold and left overnight. Check every week or so to see if yours needs regular top ups. They don't like mixed tyres so run the same back and front.
  17. The Tarmacsportz FB page shows 14 going so far
  18. Turtlewax Hybrid spray sealant aka Seal n Shine used as a drying aid last week. Moved the car out the drive and got an interesting bead pattern
  19. Welcome to the OC. Absolutely adore those 370 rims. Keep an eye out on the events section. The meets really add another level of enjoyment to zed ownership.
  20. Got my Saturday ticket booked. Looking forward to meet for the convoy. 1. davey_83 2. Andy_Muxlow 3. HEADPHONES
  21. Welcome to the OC Any pics of the soon to be yours Zed?
  22. It still amazes me what a bargain 350z/370Z OEM forged Rays wheels are on the used market. They probably cost Rays MORE to make than the TE37 due to their relatively small runs in comparison to the TEs
