along. Never had a lady stand by the Zed and not remark on how beautiful they are. Much to the disgust of thier Porsche driving other halfs

Took this as I left work on Friday, it's the sonax BSD bead after I used it as part of the drying phase last weekend, making it much easier to work with but seemingly not impacting the bead at all even with a week's muck on there. I think this is how I'll use it in future. These are proper beads as well, from rain, none of the ilogikal1 staged beads

I don't think they do. I aksed my one about this, they take responsbility at all for missing stuff or if things go pear shaped after purchase.

What Doogy said. I had an AA inspection on mine when I bought it, got a nice report back and had a straightforward chat with the bloke. They only inspect visually and go for a drive, they don't start taking bits off and prodding it around. The guy was friendly and helpful and I even managed to get the dealer to do some jobs he suggested, which I hadn't noticed (due to being massively over excited ). It wasn't cheap to get it and since then I have met people who I trust to do the same thing, but at the time it gave me a bit more peace of mind. An experienced Zed fiend will know exactly what to look for, but an inspection guy may only have ever seen one or two 350s up close before.

That's right it's on you tube I bet. Is that the one where he also complains about the bass from the sub thumping him in the back? It's another problem with the Zed that Clarkson nailed straight away. I had to replace my sub due to the massively over the top spinal bass pain it was causing me every day.

Who bothers with the odd numbered gears? 2,4,6 is the future.

My clutch and DMF arrived with my tech a while back, but just got fitted today. Very pleased (not just with sending me what I paid for! ) but also some help and advice when I was deciding whether to go OEM or something more exotic. So pleased in fact that I went and ordered some more stuff today after an MOT advisory. Haribo were a nice sweetener too Thanks.

I'm with KyleR, go contrast on a Sunset, you'll never get an orange to match that orange. Sky Blue FTW!

My name's Stu and I'm Super.

First big maintenance job today, trip to Grinspeed to fit replacement clutch and DMF. Not bad considering I've had her nearly 2 years and she just ticked over 50k today. Thanks to Clark Motorsport for providing the parts, OEM for a change as I quite like the Zed's clutch feel and shift. The pedal has gone right from the top to the floor and weird DMF noises have ceased Thanks also to Stevie and Lee at Grinspeed who had the box out, bits replaced and back together in just slightly longer than it took me to clean and wax my wheels whilst The Shark was on the ramp. Very impressive work. Speaking of wheels. It's always nagged me that the centre caps don't quite match my refurbed alloys, so I took the opportunity to swap them out. Before. After. Actually quite pleased with this super cheap, tiny mod Last but not least, said goodbye to this little guy - doesn't feel right without it All done. The Zed still looks well even at 10 years old, if I do say so myself.

Around 900 odd probably. Now show me your b**bs or GTFO. I jest of course as hopefully most of my posts have been productive & helpful to other members with a few bits of banter in between. You wanted it.

http://youtu.be/NnLciBT4gMI Sorry Graham ~ nothing wrong with the name Graham it's just not mine. Why do I feel like I'm having de ja vu again. How many times??? He's Granville

What's that count less sex pest posts? Gratz mate. Great milestone to hit as you become a 'charged owner

Ask for some money off when you write to them too. Not like a milliion quid, just try and squeeze 50 quid out of them for the hassle they've put you through and to stop you going to Johnny Other Gas Supplier. Always worth an ask on a complaint, but be specific in the amount, so they know how much to give you to settle the matter.

I'm so far past the looking mental in front of the neighbours point it's untrue. Every weekend I drag a woolly mammoth across every panel like I'm a matador and it's a completely stationary bull. I've not had a good reason to say it out loud yet.

The 50cal foam I purchased a while back was a bit of a disappointment, at that price. It's no better than valet pro at half the price and ten times as much. DJ Apple iFoam FTW. I tried BSD on wet paint today as a drying aid, to save a few minutes quick detailing effort. Looked good and much easier to play with when the paint has residule water on it as a bit of lube. I was totally underwhelmed by Gyeon Tire at first, as it didn't stay very black looking for long, but now it's had a few coats, I think it's looking at being a regular in my starting line up.

I hate two seaters with rubbish boot capacity

Good effort mate, close run thing. Fair play to your Mrs for getting on board too

Nice work mate, you must be extremely pleased. Tidy looking job Shame you couldn't wipe down that slam panel

That website is like a 90s web hobbyist's bad trip. I love it. Clearly no belief in the use of negative space

Gastric Bandwidth PS - have I understood the rules correctly? I think I'm doing my confused face bro.

along. Excellent intro BTW. Pop some white lithium grease on the clutch pedal spring, it should stop the squeak and maybe even help with depression (that's a brilliant pun if I do say so myself). Generally handling and stopping mods first is the rule I've read on the internet, but I went straight for the BOSE as it's the cars' Achilles Heel IMO. The list of mods is endless so just work through what needs replacing first and then whatever you fancy after that!

Checking your income is practically pointless anyway, you could employed today and then unemployed 2 days after the agreement is signed. All it really confirms is your current capactity, and most people lie about thier outgoings anyway (not all credit and bills are on your credit records). The only real indicator of a payer is history. There'll be plenty of people who kept up payments, even if they lost thier income, these are the people they want to do business with. I've seen enough credit histories to know that there are plenty of the other kind, who could afford to pay their debts, but don't bother. Best ever excuse for a missed mortgage payment, "I needed a new phone." "So tell me Mr X why on earth would I arrange this secured loan for you?"

Hope you can open your mouth wide enough with the gear on.

Pick up the bits you need from a zed being broken on here or a trader, then get them dipped or whatever while you're old ones are in situ. You might even make a couple of quid when you come to sell yours on after you fitted the dipped ones
