HEADPHONES

Always a good start to the weekend knowing your car's been cleaned and waxed.

Hate going out 8n a dirty car......... it's like leaving the house with messy hair to me😬

@ilogikal1

Police were not interested and asked him to log everything online for a crime reference number to send to the insurance company 

Part 1 of his CCTV footage showing them taking a photo of the number plate.

Then he returns a minute later and simply unlocks the car 

Gets in and is joined by an accomplss

.....and they're off!

Happened in Tooting Broadway in South London 

My brother's Kia Sportage was just stolen today.
Parked on the road outside his terraced  house.
His CCTV showed they did it in 4 min total despite his keys ALWAYS being in a Faraday box.
They took a photo of his car reg 
Went on a laptop in their car 
2 min later used their keyless device, got in the Kia and drove away 😱.
We reckon they've breached Kia database for keyless entry Kia Sportage models😬

Always nice to know that you have bought a car from an enthusiast who has cares for his car 

If you didn't know which switch it was , it's the all black one above.

When you insert it, you twist to lock it into position.

You can choose how far you insert it before twisting and locking.

If the warning lights come on after swapping it may be that you inserted it to deep, meaning when you dab the brakes the switch hasn't been triggered this confusing the ECU.

In this case reposition it so the brake lights only just switch off once seated.

Then you know as soon as you just touch the brake pedal the switch will activate.

Tarmacsportz will definitely look after you well.

Glad the zed is on the mend.

I literally just fitted a new brake light switch to mine a few months back.

It was a LUCAS part and has been perfect so far.

I always keep a spare as they seem to go after a couple years.

My last one was actually an OEM Nissan one but that too only lasted a couple years.

No idea why they failed, bit it's a cheap 5 min fix for about a tenner so it's all good.

These have grown on me so much I've put down

........49p on this😜👌

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.

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 

Dropped my wife's car off at the garage and saw you there.

Hope you're just in for servicing and nothing major.

Good luck with your search.

There are genuine gems that pop up so don't  lose faith.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Those are some quality images.

The only problem is CHOOSING A FAVOURITE 

Took the family car for MOT and service.

Always nice to see a Zed.

Welcome to the OC Steve

Destined to be back in your hands.

How many extra miles had it done since you sold it?

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.

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
