  1. Sadly ours has gone in January, weve had two, a 2005 Gunmetal and a 2007 Midnight Blue, totted up 65k miles over 7 years on those two. It became our third car when I bought my M5 and it was costing too much to keep in fine fettle for only doing 2-3k/year. Something ridiculous like £1.90/mile in the last 12 months. Miss the character of the old girl though, might be back one day:
  2. Open to sensible offers on the wheels
  3. No worries, thought I could save you a trip . It will have to be Sunday as I’m busy on Saturday?
  4. I will actually be in Coventry some time tomorrow prob evening - do you want me to drop it to you?
  5. Hi everyone, With our Zed gone I have some bits here that might be of use to someone. 1) A full set of Winter Wheels £250 collected from Bedford (could arrange collection from Leicester area but will be a few weeks before I could collect). - sold to ZedBlue 2) Stubby Aerial £5 collected, £7.5 delivered - slow post - sold to Luigi350z 3) Home made tonneaux with "Z" emblem £10 collected from Leicester - sold to Shunter8 4) Official Bluetooth module £30 collected £33 delivered - slow post - sold to satiriasis Thanks for any interest guys. Ed
  6. Specced dynaudio and DCC but not much else, it’s well equipped to start with
  7. Good stuff this all reassuring!
  8. Civic type R, if you can get over the looks, which we couldn't! wonderful to drive though
  9. Yeah its Midnight blue, great colour, difficult to tell in yesterdays overcast greyness! Certainly are, the wife has just ordered at Golf R to give her a bit of the performance back day to day which is exciting - but not the same sort of experience as the Zed.
  10. Well with much regret the wife and I have sold our Zed today . We are sad to see it go after having one for 8 years now, but it has not been seeing a lot of use as our third car and the cost of keeping it tip top the way we want it means its not sensible to carry on running if for so little use. Hopefully someone who will use and enjoy it will pick it up and it will make them as happy as it has made us. Wanted to say thanks to everyone here, the forum has been a great place and a source of valuable information. Particular thanks to Mitz and Andy at Cougar Store for looking after the Zed so well for so long. Goodbye old friend!
  11. I am sure that the issue raised is related to the P-zeros but I don't think entirely to do with mixing the tyres. Its because the P-zeros are rubbish and in no way similar to the MPSS. I have much less of an issue with mixing tyres front to back than others here seem to - I wouldn't mix on the same axel but so long as you have something similar I don't think front to back is a problem. I recently replaced our rear MPSS with MPS4 and have had no problems what so ever with stability with MPSS on the front - the car is rock solid. Same deal with the winter set going from Pilot Alpin 4 - 5 on the rear - no problems at all. The idea that you need to replace good quality tyres when they are only half worn on the front is silly - just stick with the same brand and grade and I think you will be fine (just my experience obviously don't have the same knowledge on these things as Dan ).
  12. Apparently me and the Admiral lady managed to totally send ourselves round the houses unnecessarily - ive sorted this with them as its not being lowered its just <5cm - which makes perfect sense, I don't know why we ended up thinking it was anything else -wow - must be because im ill and hardly eaten in 4 days
  13. Called them already - they didn't know off the top of their heads and are going to find out :S
  14. Hi, I am having a set of BC Racing BR coilovers fitted to the Zed but the insurance are asking me what the potential for lowering of the set up is (even though im not lowering it) - up to 5cm or 5-12.5cm. Now I am not entirely sure and waiting for manufacturer to get back to me - does anyone happen to know? Thanks Ed
  15. Just ordered a pair of MPS4 for the rears on the Zed as the MPSS are running low - glad to see these were the right choice
  16. This offer is back on at the moment if anyone was interested
  17. Well I’ve worked out what the problem is as it got worse when I tried to pull the car out the drive. The heatshield above the back box has corroded off its bolts and is rattling around. I don’t know how to pull it out though and I’m 60 miles from home!
  18. No doesn't seem to sound like that, harsher more of a scratching noise and doesn't happen so soon after pulling off. Ive not heard it from outside the car, ill try and get a video of it later on
