thehilders Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Hi everyone, I bought (2 weeks ago)04 plate ZED 32.000 miles on the clock, first couple of days was great fun, then I discovered few issues with this car and wanted to share with you guys annoying noises coming from speedometer and the passanger airbag! when I drive uphill some clicking noise coming from the back! also transmission and clutch bit noisey! build in satellite navigation system data non upgradeable (Wilsons told me) and hasn't been updated since 2003! handsfree blutooth is rubbish people can't hear me! difficult to see rear especially reverse parking! interim and boot light bulb's gone! bonnet making noise needs to adjusting! Air con condenster gone and wilson's quoted £220 I kind of regret it to bought this car had Honda typeR for 5 years and never had issues like this Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 All can be sorted.... What are the noises from the speedo and airbag area? Clicky back axle is a know issue and there is a fix, just have a search Trans and Clutch, how noisey? What noises? You may be close to needing replacements Is the sat nav OEM dvd? Dvd's are available Bluetooth, you got the setting instructions? Rear view, cant do nothing about that.... Get a camera or reverse sensors! I take it you got a free 3 month wtee from wilsons? Take it back and get them to sort! Mark Quote
Sarnie Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Yep, interior makes some annoying squeeks Do a search on clicking rear axles. Noisey clutch sounds normal Sat Nav is old BT is rubbish Did you test drive the car? e.g reverse parking? Replace bulb Sounds almost like you bought this car without seeing/driving this car................. Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Just seen you put more down... Bulb, replace it! Its a 2nd hand car! Bonnet is easy to adjust, again take it back to wilsons Aircon, should be covered under the 3 month wtee.... Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Must admit, I bought mine from wilsons and didnt see or test drive... actually didnt even test any before I bought!! Never been in one!! I just knew I had mine on credit (and a warantee!) so could have used the 14 day cooling off before I took it away! Quote
bronzee Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 difficult to see rear especially reverse parking! Pretty much the same with most sports cars or coupe's. Adjustment of the wing mirrors angling more outwards to the sides will help a little bit. You do get used to it. Quote

AK350Z Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Surely if there was (i don't know of it), Pimm would have changed it? Quote

Mark Hi All and thank you for your input :-) I bought this car from the Volkspeed at Ashtead I took test drive and it was fine no annoying squeks and tick tick noise from the speedometer Trans and Clutch are really noisey it is like driving double decker bus! it had P3 service last week and Wilsons did not mention anything about this issue! sat nav birdview thingy and no cd came with it I bought updated version birdview dvd from the e-bay and did not worked it keep saying unreconized format I assume my head unit would not play DVD format Blutooth is brand new and works fine it just people having difficulty to hearing me thanks for your help Quote
thehilders Posted September 21, 2008 Author Posted September 21, 2008 Did you not have a test drive? yes I did but I just loved the car and did not really look for other bits and pieces. I have find it out all after few days it was my own fault really I should have wait bit longer I just rush in to it to buy Quote
