Damper has now SOLD!

As circled in the image below, I have a used fuel damper for sale. This was originally bought from ZMANALEX in a used condition solely for the purpose of diagnosing a knocking sound from the engine of my old car. This didn't cure the sound, which in the end turned out to be a flywheel issue! So, since I got this damper it has been used for about a day and then the old one put back. I bought it for £50 and they go for £150 new!! I will sell for £40 delivered. download/file.php?id=7070&t=1

The zed has now been sold.

Still for sale guys... I'm struggling to afford petrol prices at the moment, it's due a service and there's a knocking to the front left suspension just developed. It seems work are withholding their annual management bonuses this year, which means I have zero chance of giving the car it's annual dose of TLC. As much as it pains me to; offers around £8,000??

Well, less of a wad of cash...£250 would fuel my car for a month! My mechanic had the car up on a ramp, checked everything with a pry bar and wobbled the wheels to check for play...he didn't notice anything, so is it quite hard to notice any movement? I've read of people changing several parts before getting to the compression arm, if it was that obvious I guess you'd notice straight away?? Cheers for the replies!

Ok, I have the dreaded rattle/clatter from the passenger side front wheel area. I've taken the car to my friend's garage and had a good poke about underneath, which brought up nothing...so I've had a search on here and would like to run this by anyone who has had a similar problem. The symptoms are; - Rattling/clunking sound, sounds as if something is 'loose' and about to fall off. A very repetetive sound when it occurs ie. a constant rattle until you're onto a smooth surface... not just one or two clunks. - Most audible at speeds below 30mph, and on rough roads. - Fades away or completely disappears under braking. - Disappears under left foot braking. - Easily overlooked or completely undetectable when the car is on a ramp and the suspension manipulated with a pry bar. My money is on the ball joint end of the banana bar/compression rod...but I'd like some second opinions before parting with a big wad of cash for a new one!!

I don't notice a difference in power, but on the occasion when I was stuck for Super and had to fill up with a small amount of unleaded I noticed it impacted on MPG quite significantly. I can get 28-29mpg on my average week's commute on super, but the regular unleaded got me down around 22-23mpg...I wasn't driving any differently. 25% more mpg for what is often only 10% more cost?? The figures speak for themselves, hence why I always fill up with super!

Get a proper plug socket...they have a little rubber grommet in the end which grips the plug until it's tightened in place. I had loads kicking about from all the cheap tool sets I used to get through.

I put mine up on Autotrader for a month...it cost me £42 and all I had was emails of this nature. I thought about wasting their time and leading them on a bit for a laugh, but I couldn't even be bothered to reply telling them to stop trying to scam people . Best to just ignore them altogether and wait for a genuine buyer to get in touch.

I wonder how much he got for it if it was p/x... I'm getting no interest in mine and might have to consider doing the same!!

Quick bump as my Autotrader ad has nearly expired. I've had zero interest..plenty of emails from potential scammers wanting to pay me by Paypal and send their 'collection company' over to collect the car and take abroad!! How anyone falls for these things is beyond me!! I'm guessing that Zeds just aren't selling well at the moment?? I'll leave the price as is, but will say that offers over £9k will be taken into serious consideration...I have my eyes on a 320CD!!

I did forget a pic!! Here's all the documentation I've got...service history, receipts, HPI certificate and more. Plus both keys, what I think is a master key and the key code tag. All presented in a nice lime green folder, because I am a tidy freak!! I've also put the Zed up on Autotrader; http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... 3377584501 As you can see I've dropped the price again to £10,299...open to offers!!

Just working out my year's finances and will have to be very open to offers on the Zed, or I'll be struggling to eat!! I'm going to drop the price to £10,800...feel free to get in touch with offers, they will be taken into consideration!!

Cheers for the kind words guys, hopefully I'll get more interest this time round!!
