Just joined the Zed scene at 19 with an '04 Gunmetal. Few little niggles with the car that maybe a few of you can have a look at?

Also interested in an aftermarket exhaust to free the V6 up. So if anyone wouldn't mind letting me hear theirs and convincing me to get one would be much appreciated.

For others who are searching, a generous squirt of GT85 seems to have done the trick. For now anyway!

You know that is a configurable setting on your fob?

 

If you press and hold both buttons for +5 seconds it flips to "all open on single press". Doing same flips to "driver door only open on 1st press".

Mine doesn't seem to do this. It's an 04 so maybe a facelift thing?

Did u buy private or dealers

It was bought from a dealer and the car had been part exchanged by previous owner.

Welcome to the forum

 

With regards to the passenger door just incase you didn't know you have to press the unlock button twice for it to open. I always have problems with my other half, as she's that quick trying to get in the car as soon as I've pressed the button once she's pulling the handle. Once she's done that pressing it again to unlock it doesn't work. I then have to tell her to " step away from the car " ! then have to lock the car and unlock the car again pressing the button twice to open both doors.

I was not aware of this! Tried again and door opens fine. However when it is locked you can still open the door by about 2cm

First post on the forum! Not the way I would have liked to have my debut on here but here goes!

I bought the car Wednesday evening, 2004 with GT pack and 37,000 miles on the clock.

Overall car was immaculate, however passenger door appears to have something wrong with the electrics I presume?

First and foremost my passenger window is VERY slow. Almost like when the battery is flat and is struggling to put the window up (or down for that matter). Secondly, when I lock the car, walk up to passenger door, try to open it and the door opens around 2cm but no further. Then when unlocking the car when door is shut properly I have to lock and unlock it a few times to get the door to finally 'free' itself and open. The button inside for locking the passenger door (on the actual handle itself) is impossible to press, as if it is jammed/blocked by something.

I have done a search and found various problems with door locks and windows but none with these exact symptoms. Has anyone had these problems before and can point me in the direction of how to fix them?

Thanks in advance, Mikey.
