Ebized

Must admit I can't see the point of these 7-day insurances, or have faith in them - I would rather know I had a good 365 day insurance in place from day 1 But sorry to hear you have been messed around and the dog gets his paperwork to your dealer swiftish

About a week beforehand - time to get them in your sat navs and fully memorised

Are you a complete idiot? Do you have no comprehension on how tyres work? Sorry to sound harsh, but that's just the most stupid piece of advice I've heard on here in a long time. If mixing tyres front and rear is bad, then just how suicidal do you have to be to have three different makes of tyre on one car? With all due respect, I have worked for a major lease company for the past 5 years as a Fleet Controller, and I authorise in excess of £30,000 worth of tyres every day on various lease cars, varying from Aston Martin DB9's, Ferrari's to Fiat Pandas. Please explain how mixing tyres on a 206 CC is going to make a difference with regards to handling or safety? It is a Peugeot 206 for the name of God, not a powerful RWD or AWD car. I have access to every tyre technical bulletin from every car manufacturer, and I can assure you that Peugeot have no isues with mixing tyres on a 206. I'll even forward you the number for my contact at Peugeot technical if you wish to give them a call. The reason why my previous post was not in much detail, is because I posted it from my mobile phone in work. You are the idiot my friend. Perhaps you would care to post up the lease company name as I am sure most members on here would want to know that when making their choice. BTW, GLWS of your ZED.

Does this help (just thinking if it keeps it out of the dealers hands...... ) viewtopic.php?f=10&t=17310&hilit=rubber+leak

Not being a roadster owner I am trying to understand what 'part' the dealer is now saying he wants £551.53 for I presume it is fixed to the hood - any pics?

Its just a rebrand (Momentum or something) of what they have sold for ages

Get under and look or far better get it on a ramp to check (local exhaust place?). No-one will know otherwise

much respect Craig - your work and dedication to car modding has few equals and congratulations on all the awards

Two 150 mile drives over some of Wales best roads and through some great scenery on offer coupled with a great social weekend - will need to close the entry list very soon to finalise plans Any queries please pm me.

Welcome to the forum As you are in Surrey it would be great to se you at one of the meets. If interested, pm me

I will be giving mine a good run tomorrow to see if the squealing has reduced. I hope it has as it was really annoying me. If not I may see a specialist brake place and ask for some advice. If not try and find some front brake shims. The ones that were on the original front pads were stuck to the pad, so just re-used them. The rears had their own small metal shims. Might see if it's possible to get hold of the front metal ones? Ian: Giiven how you like to drive your ZED (including the 'ring ) and it carries some extra boost then maybe these would be good investment and hopefully solve the squealing..... viewtopic.php?f=32&t=28634&hilit=shims

Chris`I picked up his quartz 370 (believed to be the first one) in time for the Wales 1 drive outs on 22/23 May

No, but Chris`I has viewtopic.php?f=103&t=37168

Have you guys checked this thread out (see last post): viewtopic.php?f=59&t=34313&hilit=shims and ZMANALEX has an ultimate solution.......... viewtopic.php?f=32&t=28634&hilit=shims but also some good advice: The brake pad shims are there for numerous reasons and should be refitted when brake pads are changed. On the UK Brembo set up the oem pads have shims fitted to the rear of the pads but there is also a floating shim that should be refitted. Just simply tell the garage to reuse the existing floating shims. The "how stuff works" link will explain it further. Please read both pages as the second page relates to heat dispensation and heat shield issues. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/auto-part ... -shims.htm Alex.

I kinda think Nissan saw a need to up the bhp for sales reasons and having 'trialed' it with the GT4's the feedback (straight line/track/media testing) was good but then I wonder if the engine manufacture/tolerances was changed for the facelift versions, hence the oil consumption issue not seeming to be an issue on the GT4's? I always remember Big Phil saying that best engines in his opinion were those made for the first ZEDs in 2002/2003, but having said that all the ZED engines are as bullet-proof as any and with good maintenance they go well into 6 figures mileage-wise as a number of owners have testified on here.

Great buy for someone and the best colour too

What did you prefer about your MY03 to MY06, or was it just it was your first love? Primarily the torque characteristics of the 276 seemed better suited to the 350 on the B roads and I was also concerned at the oil consumption of the 296 - OK that may not be a long term issue but when the previous ZED used zero oil between services it just didn't feel right and what with the absolute dipstick who designed it - checking the actual oil level was never the easiest of tasks. The 'facelift' improvements that came with the MY06 were a good step up but overall as I have the car for the driving pleasure it came back to the power delivery, for me.

My 370 was the first rgva did - snow on the ground and took two guys around 2.5 hours each - one working on the front one working on the back. Price reflected the 'trial' application (which I am very, very pleased with) - so is possibly not representative of follow up jobs. I should add that when I said the price I was charged was about a third of the single item the OP has mentioned, that was both the front and back wrapping. Therefore suggest you pm KJ. for a price.
