Karate Chimp

+1 This would be a god send for me as I park on a busy road on a hill; not to mention imho it looks pretty damn cool as well! If they're £50 now, I can live with that cause there's no chance of me being able to build one myself!

That was me On my way to work in Reading.. Ditto on your Zed too! It was like having a nice mirror for my Zed, except my reflection had I very nice spoiler and some very fancy rims I think I've seen you before (and meant to post here to say as much) but I'm normally in the shared shed (silver golf). Shed is buggered though so I'll be Zeding again tomorrow. Cya then! Rick

Thanks for the warm welcome guys and girls! Definitely a really friendly place to be The tyres are Bridgestone Potenza RE050 with about 5mm front and 4 back. From looking around the forum it seems that a lot of people recommend Falkens so that was probably what I was going to replace them with.. Although, I'm debating getting another set of wheels and putting Winter tyres on one set given that this is a daily driver for me and the last two winters being somewhat interesting Definitely think some driver training is in order to ensure I can make the most of my pride and joy. In a weird way, it was good that it happened early on (and obviously without incident) as it gave me an early warning that I'm going to have to be a little more careful! Still I was shocked how little warning there was, but I guess the road was probably quite greasy and my inexperience with RWD would also have been the reasons for that... Buster/Keyser, I'll definitely take you guys up on your offer and pop up to Ferndown so that you can have a quick at some point if that's OK? Maybe PM when is good for you? SwanageDave, Next time I'm in Swanage I'll definitely give you a shout Cheers, Rick

Hi guys, I picked up a 54 plate Zed in Azure blue about two months ago and I haven't been able to keep the grin off my face since! I'll get some pictures up when I get a chance to properly clean it (I know it's a bit of a cardinal sin not to have given it a full once over yet but with the weather being so crap everytime it's good I end up driving it instead ) This is my first RWD car (last car is 172 clio) so still getting used to it and itching to turn the ESP off. But, after the first day of owning when in the wet (damp really!) I pretty much 180'ed it on a roundabout at less than 30 mph with the ESP on (luckily it was a 2 lane roundabout) I'm a little bit wary! Clearly, the best way is going to be lots more driving to figure it out On the slight downside I've got a 'jingling' noise coming from rear driver side. I've read about the clicky axle problem, but this is a definite 'jingle', not click and seems to continue up through the gears. I can't see anything that looks loose from a quick look underneath, anyone got any ideas? This forum has already given me the fix to my boot not opening properly with the penny (or in this case B&Q 1/2" washer) trick I'm hoping that the above would also be a fix involving washers so that I can use up the remaining ones in the packet, but somehow I suspect not! Cheers, Rick
