Are yours for sale?

I don't think any of us really help each others Zeditus, ...more like we feed of each others illness. If we where all heroine addicts we'd all be sharing the same needles by now & keeping watch for each other whilst we rob the local supermarket. @Steve ~ Carbon Fibre engine cover is also a good shout btw. Tarmac Sportz sell them, ...have a look in my build thread to see the one I just fitted a week or so ago. Yes, I like what you've done with the SC and the carbon fibre cover etc, but mines an HR

Isn't that more commonly known as a coat? For the car Ian

Wow. Cheers Gareth. That's an impressive list. She said 'Yes' to the lot Thinking about the cover, I guess you're right. Hadn't seen it like that. Already got ITG Panel filters. Already got bonnet struts. Engine bay coloured bolt set, afaik is only for DE engine, correct me if I'm wrong. However, still leaves a few items there. The zunsport grille or the reflectors sound good though. Thanks again. Off to browse some of the above now

My mrs just asked what I want for Xmas this year. I said probably something for my car, but I don't know exactly what yet. Maybe a fitted cover for the colder days when I won't be using my zed. Any ideas anybody? What are you guys asking for? Is there somebody on here that does the fitted covers?

Hi. Can you pm me some details please? Price, availability. For an HR in case that's any different

Welcome I spent 6-8 months on here before I was in a position to buy my first zed. In that time I read up on as much as I could, including Wills link above, and then when I went to view the car, I was able to check over everything. I've had my zed a week now and am very pleased

Or Ian ^^

Tarmac, Redline Styling, and others. All traders on here.

Ouch! I feel for you mate. I would be absolutely gutted too. Hope somehow you manage to get it sorted.

I designed an auto opening boot strut system for MGZT and Rover 75, and sometimes these were a bit aggressive depending on the age of the original hinges, spoilers fitted etc. We used to have competitions at local meets to see who could launch a polystyrene cup the furthest at the press of the key fob button

Thanks Vlad. I don't feel so alone now

I guess I can get used to it. I dont have to force it or anything. I just have to assist with the lifting til its fully open. Still prefer that to the OEM stay.

Oh.....and just added these too

Cheers Mitz. Thankyou for the goodies

Love it

So, after the weathermen got the weather wrong, we actually have had a sunny weekend, and I have managed to get a few jobs done. I gave the car a good wash first thing and then managed to fit my wheel spacers. Looks so much better and the handling is great too Stubby aerial was fitted during the week, and bonnet struts fitted yesterday.

I have to lift mine all the way open, then it stays there ok

Sounds like it's normal then. I agree it's better than the OEM stay, but just wanted to check. That's one thing I made sure of before I started fitting them. I watched a vid on YouTube of these fitted and when the bonnet is opened it only needed a small amount of lift before the struts take over. I think it may have been your car.

Ooh sounds nice. Have you got any pics?

Hi guys, I fitted my bonnet gas struts this morning, and I've found that I now have to pull the bonnet open, and push down quite hard to close it. Is this just because the struts are new? I've checked and double checked everything is fitted correctly.

Cheers. Just ordered some

This'll be my 8th winter with the Zed so I've had quite a bit of experience with this. Personally, I don't worry about the windows, the main battle is actually to get the doors open. They usually freeze in the area around the door handle/door lock so its O.K to use hot water in that area, as for the windows, they may or may not freeze, I don't really know as I don't want the windows down when its freezing outside .Be aware that in a prolonged freeze your headlight washer covers could pop out (both mine and my wife's did anyway). I don't know what other Zed owners do about this but I feel its best to fix this using warm water just in case the washer cover flies off when you're driving along. Pete Thanks for the tips Pete. I know what other things to watch out for now, when it gets really cold.

Thanks for the tip Chris. I know about the hot water. Would never do that. I do have some Teflon spray though so I can be prepared

I know that the windows are supposed to drop a little when you open the doors, and then pop back up again when you close the doors. My question is, can you still open the doors in winter when the windows are frozen? Apologies if it's a daft question but I just had to ask.
