    oil pressure

    no 04 plate DE 129000 miles ...how come mate HR is affected by the weak oil gallery gaskets, DE's are not thats good to hear cheers Tom.im going to have it looked at tho asap just due to the high oil consumption/loss . i know some zeds eat oil but 1.5 liters in 2 weeks is beyond a joke imo. dont really hammer it much either

    cone air filter

    ahh seems a bargain then ..i got mine on the make an offer of £35 lol .yours has the bigger diameter neck tho yes? are you running bigger induction pipes to throttle body or reducing down to the 76mm maf . also do you have any pics of full set up? looks like your using alloy piping from that pic
  14. okay thanks Lee .mine had a P3 service inc trans oil in April. whats the recommended interval for services on the zed and yea i check the oil level every few days as it seems to be using quite alot ..was on 3/4 full when i got it and in 2 weeks iv topped it up to the max and put another 3/4 of a litre of petrona init ..damn thing drinks oil and fuel like iv never seen before .

    cone air filter

    cheers for the link.is 80mm the correct diameter for the 350 DE maf pipe to fix to ? For the MAF you'll need an adapter which will be 76mm OD, thus needing a 76mm to 80mm reducer silicone hose. I had a spare so cut the flange off leaving a straight through MAF, using the above reducer hose and it looks much neater too. David okay im going to order the same type you got ..do you know where i can source the maf plate adapter as i dont want to cut my maf pipe just incase i revert back to standard air box in the future

  22. Or maybe the OP's car if he gets too carried away round roundabouts? Seriously though, if its your first rear drive car just take it easy. Especially on the road, but have fun Don't jinx me Ricky .and yea im taking it steady now.had a bit of a scare a few days after buying her coming off a roundabout and nearly had a magic moment in my pants so its kinda grounded my enthusiasm for the time been He's not wrong though... especially as it's your first RWD car. I started off gradually by turning off TCS when I had loaaaaddsss of room to play if I made a mistake (which I did initially) To this day I am always cautious as an accident would inevitably mean furher unnecessary costs to repair the zed. good point mate. I'm actually under orders now to only have TCS off if roads are dry .iv no plans to track it or drift but need to learn how to pull out of trouble if sh1t hits the fan one day .cant believe iv missed out on rwd this long its sooooo much fun
  23. ahh great news .tbh i dnt like having TCS on because every time it slips it kills the power too which is proper annoying .an okay that makes sence as there was an old land-rover next to mine so maybe that's where I picked up the transfer box reference. he did definitely say it damages something tho . Having traction control off has absolutely no effect or damage on the zed. I have had mine for getting on 6 years now, and I like to take it off occasionally when I fancy a bit of fun! Also, I had my camshaft position sensor go on the car at one point, and until I got the replacement part delivered, I had to uplug the sensor. I had traction control off for about 3 months constantly (because a lot of that time was trying to figure out what part to get). Nothing happened to the Zed, except I learned how to control her without the TCS. i am starting to get the feeling the mech is talking sh1te lol.an okay thats good to hear because im just starting to get a feel for it with TCS off .absolutely puts a grin on my face every time the arse end kicks out coming off a roundabout .....the girlfriend isnt impressed tho haha The girlfriend isn't impressed? - She will be. If not, you might need to look into trading her in for a newer model she is the newer model . the car or the gf lol.tried uploading a pic to my avatar tbh. but it wont let me ...do i need to be a paying member ?
