Last thing I saw was that steering wheel locks are a waste of time. Any serious car thief can circumvent one in under 1 min and anyone that would be put off by the steering lock would have no hope with the immobilizer and door lock anyway so no point. Hawker

Except that its 82.2 miles/day on average - which is quite a lot :S. Hawker

Thanks guys, I went for a das-6 DA polisher, seemed like a good place to go as a beginner Hawker

Hi all, So weve had the car for 18 months now and ive finally got round to getting a DA polisher and giving the Zed a proper details. Frankly the car looks amazing - these pics were taken after a 50 mile drive so excuse the accumulation of dead bugs - I didn't have a decent camera with me when it was cleaned. Hope y'all like . Hawker

This is of some interest to me as I'm planning on the same thing now I've got some rays on. I have been reading up and I think I'm going to go with Michelin pilot alpin pa4's after some reading, not many reviews but word of mouth says they're excellent, thoughts? Hawker

0pus - thanks for posting mate but ive picked up Lord-Zeds set this morning . Mods please lock - thanks Hawker

TBH the Zed was hopeless in the snow last year for me, it was actually out with CS having work done at the time and I couldn't get it 500m home up the slope to our car park, stayed there for 8 days. Winter tyres are going on this year. I remember some threads where people used the snow socks with good effect but not sure theyre for me as you have to keep getting them on and off. Hawker

Many thanks Alex PM sent Hawker

Mitz to the rescue as usual eh I shall await hearing from you mate. Either way Im interested in either Hawker

Hi all, After a set of standard or GT4 Rays, ideally without kerbing but obviously willing to see whatever is available in good condition. Going to be using them with the tyres from my standard wheels and sticking winter tyres on those for this winter so tyres not needed. Many thanks Hawker

+1 ive used a bog standard pug one in ours - looks tidy and very cheap ?£13 when I bought it

My car is an 09 Civic ES, when we got the Zed I never really found it difficult to swap to it or drive. I find the Zed much more rewarding to drive and handling just needs to be treated with respect as others have said, wouldnt say I struggled with it. If the Mrs would take my car id drive the Zed full time no questions asked . Next car wont be FWD, just cant justify getting rid of the Civic at the moment. Hawker

+1 for CS - youll be glad you made the short trip to them for the good service that they give. Hawker

I'll make a cheeky offer of 400, tyres will be coming off as going for a winter set. Let me know? I'm just down the road in Leicester so could collect Monday Hawker

Andy and Mitz will look after her for you

One more for CS they take all my money but I always leave with a smile Hawker

Ordered worth a go for free

What did you do to shine up the exhaust tips like that? Very nice. Hawker

Yet again im here with thanks for Andy and Mitz, They did me a great job with the service and MOT on my civic, and unfortunately the Zed has been with them for sometime with gearbox and synchro issues but they've taken every care to do the job well and the gearbox feels smooth and easy - its like a new car. Added to that Mitz recently got me some wiper blades at cheaper than direct internet prices. Nothing but good things to say about these guys every time we use them - which seems to be constantly Thanks guys Hawker

Just seen it on the road, looks lovely, pics don't do the alloys justice Hawker

Ive got a Breffo Spidergrip thing in the air vent on both the cars, works a treat and added bonus of being able to see satnav

Ours started doing this going into 5th the other day, its going in to pay a visit with Andy and Mitz Tuesday , hoping its not going to cost the whole earth. Hawker

+1 Hawker

Seems to be fixed guys, thanks very much !!!! Hawker
