Anyone care to work out how many 350/370 Zeds are in The U.K, 10k or so do you think or maybe more? Pretty good ratio of members to cars even allowing for those who no longer have Zeds.There are some non U.K members as well to swell the numbers. Pete

Welcome onboard Pete

Not too bad here, just a couple of inches although its coming down hard now. The council can cope fairly easily with this amount, some villages around here are 1,000 feet up so and we do get heavy falls from time to time. The councils grit igloo is just up the road and large numbers of gritters are available, big salt mine 25 miles away in Cheshire too...of course, they never come down here, so our 200 yard long lane can get very tricky. Caroline reported that the main roads are fine just the footpaths are dodgy. Pete

Yeah, its the sort of car I'd never buy but as a company car just great Pete

Nissan want an absolute fortune for the disk, must be made of solid gold for that price but there are numerous disks for sale on EBay at reasonable prices. It would seem that not all Nissan DVD's will work in every Nissan but there do seem to be DVD's that'll work with Zed's and other Nissans if you get my drift. I've sent you a PM outlining some of your options Pete

Hmm, could be a partial blockage somewhere. It's possible that if you were very low on fuel then adding more would have stirred up something already in the bottom of the tank. It might work its way through in a day or two. Kangaroo jumping is usually a symptom of fuel starvation and that's probably as good as any a place to start looking. Pete

No, I've been working away at it. So far I've got a Nismo replica rear spoiler, 20mm spacers all round and a Nurrish SatNav . Got a few more mods planned too , you won't recognize it once the meet season starts next year Cheers, Pete

Welcome to the forum Pete

Very funny guy and a brilliant actor. Sad to see he's gone. Pete

That was my first thought too, but you don't get far once you've put it in, a couple of miles if you're lucky. Fairly easy to rule it out though just by smell alone. A common problem years ago was water or rust in the fuel, that would certainly make it splutter. Could be one of many things though, fuel, alternator, battery, belt tension, difficult to pin it down. Have you managed to get the car home? Pete

Lovely part of the world, looks like a set from The Italian Job Pete

Only a couple of centimetres of snow here but incredibly cold. Took me ages just to get my Clio unfrozen and the Zed is well and truly frozen solid . Managed to get in it this morning with some difficulty and ran the engine for a few minutes. No prospect of using it till this cold spell is over though. Pete

Wow, transformation . Where did you get the front spoiler from? EDIT, O.K, read your description, found the spoiler on EBay and ordered one Pete

Welcome Pete

Payment sent Pete

Next week is going to be interesting to say the least! Prolonged snow in many areas, almost anywhere away from the coast in fact. Wind's going to pick up so there's a strong possibility of drifting and even blizzards over higher ground . Also, temperatures are going to be incredibly low, the Midlands, Wales and The North could see below -10 maybe as low as -15 so check your anti-freeze. I have a weather station here and its already below freezing at 2.00pm and the temperature is falling like a stone . Presently, there's no indication of how long this will last but count on at least another week . Pete

Got about an inch here, main roads are O.K though. Pete

Yeah, did you see that guy digging the snow from around it Pete

A couple of flakes last night. Possible major event Tuesday/Wednesday though for those North of the M4 and South of Manchester, ie Midlands and Wales Pete

I collect all the little bags of Silica gel that seem to come with everything these days and place them in strategic places in the car. I remove them once a week and dry them on a radiator. I don't seem to suffer much from fogging in the Zed, Renault Clio is much worse as is Caroline's Roadster, which is to be expected. People who wipe their inside windows with their hands or a rag/glove to remove moisture make the situation much worse, just gives the moisture a better purchase on the glass. The front screen also accrues fine dust very quickly from the blower and needs to be cleaned properly every couple of months ,I use an IPA-Water solution, but there are several commercial products available.

Looks great Pete

Yeah, 3mpg sounds about right as does the 7bhp loss. The percentage loss of mpg looks to be pretty constant over a range of cars. Power loss is much more obvious in cars with 60 or so bhp, rented a small Suzuki Swift? in Arizona and had to turn A/C off up a lot of hills as 60 ton trucks started passing me . On some cars A/C won't come on if the outside temp is less than 3 centigrade to prevent damage from icing, don't know if the Zed has this feature though . Pete
