Should reduce the value of your zed by about 50 %. IMO go up market not down. Zeds can be classy .

Difficult one to answer but all I can say is that if they had quoted me £200 for six hours work the first time I would have chased them away cause I would have argued that it was excessive. However, the standard and speed makes up to some extent and to be honest, I just go out for lunch and when I return the mess has gone. I,ve also got a regular gardener who charges £15 per hour but he has neither the tools,ladders etc.nor the speed of the two outside contractors. Four large hedges approx 80 foot long each. 1 Hawthorn, 2 conifer,1 hazel

Interesting problem and as a " customer " I have many times been quoted for a job ( my garden hedges for example ) about £200. The guy usually says it's about a day and a half work. Then two guys turn up and do the job in less then three hours. I always pay the agreed sum but feel that two guys x three hours equals six hours at over £30 per hour for unskilled labouring and removing the waste. Mind you, they do a good job and I get the work done quickly and out of the way. Would probably take me two days on my own ! The best way for you to quote would be to offer a fixed price and don,t estimate the time to do the job except in loose terms. Alternately quote an hourly rate.

Congratulations and I certainly appreciate the hard work you have done to achieve your black. I did mine in 1970 before all the Kung Fuey rubbish following the Bruce Lee films. That,s when I decided to stop. Today's Martial arts are far more diverse and probably take even more commitment. In my day six nights a week at the Dojo was the norm !

Welcome to the Zed world. Prepare to suffer Zeditis. There is no cure !

Sorry , forgot the photos !

I use it all the time on my dark blue Zed. Cleaned and used it today and here,s the result.

Welcome to a great Forum. You will really enjoy your roadster. Like the w brace mod.Considering one myself. Let us know if you feel any improvement in handling.

Everything from the sixties and seventies !

Love those gold spacers.I fitted the silver ones originally but then removed to fit wider wheels.

Buy a corvette, de badge it, slap z badges everywhere, sell your zed. Simples !

On 9.5 j,s you need min 255 I believe.

Forgot to mention..it was the 3.0 luxury premium diesel with upgraded wheels.

Just sold my White XF Jaguar. Great drivers car for motorway cruising. Every conceivable extra but two distinct problems. 1. The front seats have virtually NO lateral support so you slide around when cornering and they gave me back ache after driving 50 miles or so. 2. There is a fault with the injector system which gives a constant sound similar to the " pinking " noise we used to get years ago. Suggest you check out in more detail on the Jag forums. Other than these common faults the car was reliable over 40 k miles driven... Had to change all the brake discs at 28 k as they were all worn out. Another common fault.

I,ve got two oem ones off my 07 HR zed with just 22 k miles at the change to Cobra HFC,s. This cars a long term keeper so they,re just gonna sit there and get rusty. Collect only N Yorkshire.

Px ,d my wife's e46 320 coupe recently. 10 years old 72 k miles. Owned from new.Full BMW service .Looked and drove like new. Silver coupe. 2k best px. Robbery.! Mind you, she got a two year old Mtech 320 coupe with 4 k miles for £17 k so not bad. Would recommend a well looked after 320.

Had my HR 313 up revel to 331 by tdi North and it still feels slow. Probably just me getting used to it. New clutch,DMF and full exhaust fitted too.

Bought the Cobra hfc,s from c.s . Good sound but the n/s one was a poor fit and caused bad vibration as it touched the body. Had to dolly the panel quite a lot to stop the annoying rattle. Fitted the Invidia exhaust also from c.s. Some problem with the compression joint on the o/s after cat pipe blowing. Fitted extra gaskets and exhaust sealant to cure the problem. No help or explanation from Invidia. Previous zed had non resonated Cobra cat back and Berks hfc,s Too loud and loads of drone at any revs.Bit boy racer for me.

Thanks GM Some great shots on this thread. Must do some serious photography on the road and with decent backdrops.Any suggestions ?

Oh go on then.

Suggest extra height axle stands and an underslung hammock for sleeping !

Prepare to sell everything and move into a skip... Zeditis is progressive.
