caroline

I checked that Will take it apart next weekend to have a look thanks guys

Don't worry, It's working now! Bizarre

Hi guys just need some advice. just been out in the Zed (it's a roadster) to give it a wash. Put the roof down, all was well, drove about, when I got home i can't close the passenger window Any ideas? Do you think water has got in? and how to I close the thing so it's secure? Help!!

yeah and there's a pic of me somewhere of me and this fella Looking like we've been on the sunbed too long

I have a few pics, not many. Here you go...

I just got home.... It was pretty cold but once I was wrapped up in my sleeping bag I was fine. Thanks for the concern I still can't believe we won the quiz after only getting 14 out of 40 right how stupid are we Thanks all for a fab weekend, loads of fun

Yes, I am going there, I am a girl and I will be on my own so don't worry about being the only girl Girlie chat? What's that???

Right I am coming but I hardly know anyone and I'll be on my own So you are all going to have to be nice to me I should be up on saturday sometime and stay the night...

What did you think of the test drive?? I'd be interested to know because I drove one as one of the many (Scirocco, TT, Abarth, RX8 etc) when I was deciding what car to buy and it was the zed I ended up with it was by far the best drive. To be honest the worst drive out of the lot imo was the Abarth. Although it was nippy, it felt like it was made out of paper mache

I have two cats. My 2nd choice of name was nut and bolt. So that's my recommendation

I have to say I get a lot of attention from boys in my Zed Unfortunately they are just boys

Whoa That website is hilarious

Last update! I've been out tonight in the Zed and with bikes. I've been up to 90 (shhh! ) with 2 bikes on the back no problem whatsoever. I have loads of faith in the rack I cannot recommend it enough to those brave enough to drill a few small holes in their car The best thing about it is you can still use the boot so I got two bods + two bikes + two loads of stuff (changes of clothes, etc) in the zed tonight when I went to the track. Plus, once you've done the initial installation it literally takes less than 30 seconds to fit the rack each time after. Big thumbs up from me

It was not cheap! Once I had paid for shipping, duty and the like it was nearly £450 But I guessed that wasn't a lot in the grand scheme of things (ie cost of car and how much I spend on cycling generally) And yes it's built for 2 bikes and it's so strong I think you might even get a third on there or two mountain bikes at least. Here's a pic of the back of the car with the rack removed. It's there, you can see it but it's pretty discreet...

And you live in Scotland

Easily. Like I say I can literally sit on it. And I'm about 10 stone! I am planning on giving it a proper test run on tuesday I will report back.

Good point and interestingly no. But I did give it a lick of paint after drilling the hole as it was worrying me too. I will look into finding something for it thanks

Yes 5 holes in the rear bumper subframe, and one hole in the spare wheel well. You mark the one bolt in first (pictured) and drill one 1cm to the side, and then you drill the other 4 with the bracket in place. It's a bit fiddly trying to hold the bracket up to get the first bolt in as it's so heavy. And getting the longbolt to stay so you can get into the spare wheel well and put the nut on is also a pain. Ideally you'd need two people but you can do it on your own if you persevere. I am a genius

Yes that one is my track bike, which is the bike that will need ferrying about the most (ie to the track and back!) No gears, no brakes either!

Right. The rack has arrived and I have fitted it. It wasn't too hard to fit and I actually managed it all on my own today in few hours, and with a stinking hangover! It seems very strong I can actually sit on it and it takes my weight fine. I'll give it a run on tuesday to see how it fairs. Here are some pics for you.... Unpacked... Drilling holes Base plate fitted Rest of rack assembled and put into base plate receiver pipes Bike on car All seems good so far

Count me in!

The sun. Oh yes

I have a friend who lives up your way who has a cross dresser in his office too Can't say I've ever come across it here Must be something in the water

Sorry I don't know! This is what the Nissan dealer called it, the front steering sensor. However, I was not talking to the mechanic, just a receptionist so to be honest I don't really know and I don't have any paperwork which tells me. I wasn't having a particular problem with any specific bends it was doing it left and right but it was almost always as I was turning the steering or had just come out of a bend. I mentioned it to my ex BF last night he said it was called a Yaw sensor. To be honest all this electronic stuff is all a bit new to me having come from working on 1960s cars where even hazard lights are a luxury So I feel quite blonde right now Hope that helps though

Finally..... IT'S FIXED!!!! Apparently it was the front steering sensor after all, which they replaced. It now drives like an absolute dream. I am sure I am the happiest gal in North London I will have to spend all weekend polishing it After I've taken it for a good blat about that is
