Count me in mate!

Think it was you i flashed at as you were coming down the bottom of old christchurch rd, by walk abouts on saturday!! very tasteful zed by the way!

Its an Azure Blue zed i drive so yes Must be your wife as she always waves back lol! Nice to see another Zed en route to work in the mornings!!

Nice looking Black Zed GT convertible pass every morning to Hurn from Christchurch About 08.15. Are you a member on here??

Heya Guys Hooked up a diagnostic comp to the zed and you guys were bang on the money!! For the Engine test it came up with code P0340 which says it is the camshaft position Sensor A Circuit Bank 1 or single sensor, and for the ABS test it came up with code C1130 Engine signal 1?? any ideas what this is please?? Thanks Sam

Thanks for that guys!! Gonna try and get the code tomo. Do you recomend still driving her or would that cause any serious problems?? And how easy is it to fix if it is that sensor as i may have to take it to nissan!

Hey Guys!! Was driving to the shops today then the zed just cut out whilst in traffic (did'nt stall). As i turned her over it took a few seconds to turnover then my engine management light came on, and also my ESP OFF light is constantly on. I can drive the car fine except for the car taking a few seconds to start up and the two lights remaining on!! Have any of you had this problem or any ideas what it could be?? Appreciate any feedback! Thanks Sam

Hi Alex I was quoted by nissan down in the southwest £230 for a fully front bumper spray incl removal and refiitting the bumper which i thought was quiet a resonable price from a dealer! But again it varys from where u live in the uk! Hope u manage to find a good price! Sam

If you want a cheap but effective way of putting them back to new, I went to halfords and found some alloy wheel silver spray to touch up my rays. I Just sprayed a bit into the lid and used a very fine paintbrush and some tape and that seemed to work a treat! Now you can't even notice they've been scratched!!

Thanks alot Guys for your thoughts feeling a bit better, just collected the zed without taking the work carried out by nissan as im not paying a ridiculous £324 for a mass air flow sensor!! Will PM ZMANALEX for parts and do as you guys say and take it to a garage to get them fitted! Have just driven her home, the car drives fine with no problems and the Engine management light is not on display anymore? Have they just cleared the fault although the service person said they couldnt clear the fault until the work had been carried out??

Hey Zed owners Ive just been to the Nissan garage to see why me Engine Management light was on. They've come back to me and said both oxygen sensors have failed which they said is rare for them both to fail at the same time. The mechanic at nissan said it was the mass air flow meter which meters the fuel has failed! Has this happend to any of you zed owners out there? and could this cause damage to the engine or catalytic converter if i were to still drive it as Nissan want £324 to fit a new one that was incl £85 diagnostic check too!! Any Ideas please. Thanks Sam

Hey Guys and Gals Could any of you shed some light please as Ive just changed my Disc Brakes and Pads on Both front wheels today, and have just noticed my Engine managemnt light has just come on! Surely changing these the engine Manage light shouldnt come on? Are there any sensors that could have been knocked accidently whilst changing the discs and brakes? Your help would be much appreciated Thanks in Advance Sam Ps this is for a 53 plate Uk spec with brembos.

Got to the airport and didnt get the car in the end!! Turned out the Guy had outstanding finance on it, and also had 3 previous owners instead of 1 which he said in his add on Autotrader. This was for a 55 plate with 25000 miles seemed a bit dodgy to me!! So walked away from it.

Thanks people Useful bit of info!!Flights very early so gettin an early one tonight. Cant wait for the long drive back tomorrow!!! Willpost some pics up soon Thanks Sam

Hiya Guys Ive finally bought a zed from Belfast which i am collecting on friday morning!! Can anyone give me any pointers or anything i need to know when bringing it to the UK? Im driving it from Larne catching the ferry over to Stranraer then to Bournemouth.The Car is on Irish plates. Your help is much appreciated Thanks Sam
