After 6 years, it's time to part company with my Zed. Never gone wrong, never missed a beat. Most fun car I have owned. However, time to realise a dream. TVR Chimaera. picking her up next week. Ian

Thanks again Alex. Cant get to the car until the weekend so will take a look then. Ian Bit old now, but finally sorted my problem. I had indeed knocked out the fuse for the A/F sensors. Fuse 86! Cheap fix, phew. Ian

Evening all. After I had checked a fuse for my washer motor in the fuse box behind the battery, my engine light came on. From previous post of mine on here, from the codes, this is caused by the AF sensors on both banks. This seems odd, so, going back to my fuse box, after have dropped a spanner under my battery tray, during retreival I find a 15 amp fuse lying there. So, my suspicion is that I dislodged this which is causing the error. However, my fuse box layout bears no resemblance to my manual. All the fuses are different amps to what that says. So, anyone have a photo or can offer any help on the layout and where the AF fuse should be? I may be clutching at straws but best to check before I take it to the garage. She is a 2005 GT convertible. Thanks Ian

Thanks Alex You know the next dumb question...whats an A/F Sensor and are they easily changed?? Ian

Moring all. I have just had to change my washer pump. Prior to doing this, I had the battery out to check the fuses. Since complete, my engine light has come on. I have checked the error codes and I have the following: P1031 P1051 P0037 P0057 I tried clearing them and the latter 2 have stayed cleared, but P1031 and P1051 came back. P1031 is a fuel mix sensor and P1051 I cant see in the list of codes Anyone any idea what these could mean? I mentioned the battery out and washer motor change because I suspect its related. Thanks Ian

I would have moved! Thanks guys. Bought the ones advised. Really grateful for the help. Great forum. Ian

Thanks for all the replies.

Its a 2005 GT convertible.

Thanks guys. Sorry to show my ignorance, but what does HR or DE mean? Ian

Due to finding myself on an usuitable road, I bottomed out the car. Just had the car serviced and been told I have damaged the cats. One Side the heat shield and cat is damaged and they can see honeycombe. He said to leave it until MOT in October to do an emissions test or find a specialist to repair it. Any advice? Anyone know anyone in the North East who can help do repairs? Thanks Ian

Final update! I am very pleased to say that the garage have come back to us an agreed the car is not fit and have returned the money, no hassle at all. They are actually pleased as it was costing them a fortune. Thanks for all your advice and help here. Now he starts looking for a car. No, he cant afford a Zed! I checked for a laugh putting him on my insurance and it was £12,000! Now I look forward to next week when I get my new Cobra exhaust and look into a new sound system for my Zed!

Today's update! Car went back yesterday with no turbo working. They claimed the airfilter had come loose??? Got it home and its failed again. Think its time for a solicitor. Thanks for all the advice. 21 yr old lad, with a job, rare enough, saved his cash like mad and now he gets landed with a lemon. Do I feel sorry for my boy!

They are still looking at it. Will know the outcome tomorrow. Yes, looks like we are stuck with it!

Cheers for the reply.Its the same fault, but they sent the Turbo for repair rather than replace it.
