Cheers guys, hoping that it might be something like a loose component around the steering pivot - nothing that the weekend and the haynes manual cant fix!

If your circumstances allow it, I would be tempted to keep it. Holding on through more of the depreciation curve will probably be more cost effective than replacing it with something else.

Great minds

Same year, spec, miles (ish) as me, I estimate mine is worth £10-11 ish though this could be high. As for Cat D - 20% reduction? Just a guess I am afraid.

Hi guys, A few months ago I decided to dip my toe into the world of bikes and picked up a 2005 600cc Hornet with 17k on the clock. Have been using it for commuting to save putting boring traffic miles on the Zed. Decided that I don’t want to lavish the bike with mods and instead keep the cash for the car – that said I want to keep it in good and safe condition. When riding really slowly or filtering the front end feels increasingly vague – like there is too much play in the steering . Visual inspection and simple checks don’t reveal that anything is loose and the tyre pressure and condition is spot on. Doing a bit of reading around, it sounds like the front suspension might be on the way out – has anyone had any similar experiences? Don’t really want to start spending on aftermarket replacement suspension if I have to! Any advice much appreciated

Think you will have to nip into your local DVLA office to get the form mate, as they need to issue your motor with a new plate.

Hmm hopefully should slip through, I wonder how receptive the marshalls will be to my excuse of "but it sounds soooo nice?" will be! Mike - cheers for the sticker BTW - now pride of place in the window

Awesome

So I have a Nismo exhaust and Berk Hi-Flow cats - the sound is fantastic - but have seen that some track days are imposing a 100db limit. Does anyone know if this set up will exceed that? Guessing someone with this set up may have been tested at a trackday at some point???

£700...optemistic!

make sure the dealer checks the charge rate from the alternator - may not be an issue of losing charge...but that you aren't getting enough in the first place. My Zed is 5 yrs old and only battery issue was when I left the interior light on by mistake - amateur!

+1 sound great!

I used to run one before I got my apexi induction kit. You will be unlikely to notice any sound / performance improvement (well, i didnt) but economy went up a little bit...but then you didnt buy a Zed for the economy!

Dissapointing to lose a motoring show, has its faults, but Rate Tiff - simple as that!

I used a 6' ladder and placed it at the end of my driveway. I was surprised at how well it turned out. Good work, photo does look good, keep meaning to get some photos of my little collection too

Nice Zed - what did you climb to get the last photo...or are you the worlds tallest Zed owner?!

I am keen to replace my bushes, but want to stay on standard springs/dampers. Are bushes a job best saved until suspension needs replacing or worthwhile (cost effective) to just do them on their own?

Well, would hope they were open to negotiation!

Just MOT'd my Zed - took my OEM cats along just in case - but not required, passed emmissions test easy

Thats all good advice, dont want to start butchering the Zed in the vaugue hope of making it competitive - something like an MX-5 or even an Aygo would be an amusing start. Going to find some local ones to go along an watch, anyone know of any in the Surrey area?

I can imagine the Zed being a touch on the heavy side true, do they all tend to be single marque events or wider? Some serious investigation this weekend I think...

A mate is starting out in a Toyota only Sprint series - really cheap entry to some motorsport and a good alternative to track days. Does anyone have any experience of Sprinting in Zed or otherwise as I am seriously keen on getting involved!
