Hi Matt,

I could attend, subject to my shift rostering.

Would it be this Saturday, 28th?

Hi and welcome to Zed ownership.

Please keep an eye on the North West owners section and join us on our next meet/run out.

Nice, silver Zed coupe on Hawthorn Lane Wilmslow today at 16.15 hrs.

I was in my other car, rather than my Zed, so didn't acknowledge you.

One aspect you may wish to consider is the low temperature operation of your Roadster roof.

Your existing OEM roof (PVC/vinyl) can be quite stiff at lower temperatures, usually 5 deg C or lower, and may not fully operate until it is warmed up.

I understand that Mohair tops are less susceptible to lower temperatures.

Good to meet you all! Great drive out, thanks to Matt and George for arranging it all.

Thanks for all your comments, that's what is great about Zed owners and this forum, helpful and knowledgeable!!

One of my rear indicator bulbs has failed on my pre facelift 2006 Zed roadster.

Because of this, I am considering upgrading, maybe all or the rear filament bulbs, to LED’s.

However, I understand that upgrading to LED’s for the indicators may require the fitting of an additional resistor unit to eliminate rapid indicator flash (hyperflash).

I also understand that CANBUS compatible LED’s may not actually need additional resistors to be fitted.

So, my question is, has anyone on the forum done an LED upgrade on their pre facelift ZED, and are additional resistors required?

Would appreciate any advice or comments please.

Great run yesterday, I really enjoyed going for a good blast. I was pleased to see I could still keep up with the zeds too.

 

I'll keep my eye out for the next one.

Your GT86 sounded great too!

Thanks, Matt, for another great run out. Fantastic roads and a chance for a great drive.

Suggest you chock the wheels and leave the handbrake off.

Stormforce covers have had favourable reviews on this forum.

"We used to have 2 GTI-6's at the same time, one badged up and one debadged. The debadged one didnt even get looked at while the badged one constantly had a Saxo 2 ft away from its bumper, says it all really."

I had a similar experience when I had a Sierra XR4i, (I know, it shows my age!) often from the boys in blue, as the Sierras were often involved in criminal activities, here in the North West at the time.

Matt blacked out the rear badging, no further problems!!

Now, in my Zed roadster, I just very pointedly turn the dashcam round to face the rear and the tailgaters disappear

Anyone wanting to meet me at Lymm services between 8:30 and 9:00 am is welcome to do so. we leave at 9:00 am

I'll be there, subject to work rosters

It's looking like decent weather for the next couple of days, so let's get out there and enjoy our roadsters! Roll on the summer.

Welcome, nice looking Zed and always good to see another roadster on the forum.

If it's ok with you guys, I'd like to join in too please.

I'll be in Spatt's sub group.

It's not too far for me, so depending on weather, I'd be happy to support a Zed turnout!

Going slightly off topic, but is it an "urban myth" that 98RON fuel is not available in southern Ireland?

If that is correct, then be wary of Zeds that have only run on 95RON.

I have recently found this link, /www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGgEZ-IzTYE

the last part of the post shows the type of spoiler you are interested in.

Hopefully, the link works!

Very impressive!

Your Zed now looks fantastic!

I've just checked where I sourced my spoiler.

If you type in the item number, 221101124400, on eBay, you should get to the site where I got mine.

Hope this helps!

I have this type of spoiler on my Zed Roadster, and imo, looks good, not too large and finishes off the roadster rear end.

I think it was from the site you linked, but not too sure. The product is top quality and the paint matches perfectly.

I'll try and get a pic up on here.

BTW, I do have an unused one in silver, if you are interested.

I have had good results on my Zed roadster roof using the Autoglym soft Top Cleaner and Protector.

However, it may not restore the black colour, in which case, you may wish to consider the Renovo products. My neighbour used it on his BMW soft top and it really brought the colour back.

I'm fairly near in Wimlslow.

Good luck with your Zed purchase, but once you get it, beware of Zeditis!!!

You should join us on our next NWOC run out, we're always happy to see other Zed owners. Keep an eye out on North West regional meets, usually organised by Spatt. The next one's mid March.
