  1. Great British motor shows are using the beautiful Wentworth Woodhouse as their venue this year so I wanted to gauge interest from forum members to see if we wanted to organise a club stand. Wentworth is just outside Rotherham close to the south Yorkshire/Derbyshire border and not far from the M1 motorway just to give you and idea of location.

     

    Please reply to the thread if you are interested. link below gives you more detailed information.

    How is the voltmeter actually supposed to behave? On start from cold mine goes around to 13/14v ish, then drops slightly after 5 or 10 minutes. I'm not aware of any problems and don't have any battery issues that I'm aware of.

    this is what i was hoping to see feedback about, to understand what is the usual thing to see. so thanks for sharing.

  4. Hi Folks

     

    noticed the volt meter is not going up to its usual 14v and has dropped to 13v and been having a few flat batteries so I think the alternator is on its way out.

     

    does anyone know where I could get a fairly newish used one from at all? would prefer to go OEM rather than aftermarket. 

     

    TIA

    Is there any difference with the Nismo Gear Knob? With weighting or anything? 
    Are the numbers still defined on top or have they rubbed down? Hard to tell on the pic. 
    Thanks

    numbers are still fine, don't think there is much difference in the weight but the style is obviously different.

  7. ok so I went for the optimate 5 and seems to be decent and has brought back the battery that I took out of the Zed. also ordered an extension cable so now I can permantley fix what came with the charger into the engine bay and then just connect extension cable which will reach into the garage so I can connect and keep things locked etc.

     

    thanks for all your feedback guys.

  8. HI fellow zed friends.

     

    need some advice on recommended battery maintenance chargers and set ups. not been running the zed enough so been having issues with the battery going flat.

     

    so looking for a battery maintenance charger that I can permanently have connectors wired up in the zed so i can just plug in every now and then.

     

    look forward to some informed/experienced information.

  9. saw ad article about the new fuel grade E10 fuel coming from September and wondered if anyone had any contacts in the know how our zeds might be effected by it?

     

    below is some info from the article I read.

     

    The switch to E10 fuel, which is a blend of petrol and bioethanol made out of materials including low grade grains, sugar and waste wood, is expected to cut transport CO2 emissions by around 750,000 tonnes a year - equivalent to taking 350,000 cars off of roads.

    The Government has said the fuel will cost approximately 0.2p per litre more than current E5 petrol — meaning a £1.00 increase if fully refilling a 50-litre fuel tank.

    The assessment also found that the energy content of E10 fuel is less than that of E5, meaning that drivers of petrol vehicles will find economy decreases and more trips to the pump will be required - although various reports state the economy difference is minor and therefore we don't expect this to cause any major headaches. 

    The overall fuel cost for petrol cars is expected to increase by 1.6% as a result of the transition. And although any fuel price rise is bad for us motorists, it seems to be classic car owners who will be hardest hit. 

    When the new E10 fuel comes in later this year, those who own vehicles incompatible with the new petrol will need to continue to use E5. E5 fuel will become the premium super grade petrol when E10 is made the standard and costs are expected to rise by at least 10p per litre.

    As a general rule. Cars registered before 2002 are not advised to use E10 in their vehicle due to a range of problems. These problems include damage to a car’s seals, plastics and metals due to bioethanol’s corrosive nature.

    The fuel could also be less stable meaning it can make incompatible cars harder to start but it is already used in other countries such as France, Belgium and Germany.
