Paddy78 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Cheers for the welcome.... Is their anything I should or should not do..? You should post some pics for starters! You shouldn't look at any for sale threads or pictures of other cars... it'll be a lot cheaper that way! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Zed Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 When I bought the car and the salesman told me it could be run on normal unleaded.. Having looked online most site say yes others say no and only use super unleaded.... I'm confused what to run it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Only run on Super as the ecu is not calibrated to handle the early detonation you would get using normal unleaded. Prelonged use of normal unleaded would seriously knacker the engine. Edited December 22, 2013 by Paddy78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Lynx Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Welcome to the forum Cheers for the welcome.... Is their anything I should or should not do..? You should keep telling yourself you won't modify it in any way. You should not fight it when you catch yourself thinking about which modification will be first.......

WhackyWill Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Yep ONLY run it on 98 or 99 Octane petrol, otherwise this will happen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not run your Zed on anything other than Super Unleaded fuel. Salesman is just talking BS to help the sale go through unfortunately Red-Zed. Welcome aboard and hope you enjoy your new Zed.

wizurd Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Welcome aboard. As others have said only use super unleaded! As for modifications. It'll start small i.e. Stubby aerial then you'll be fitting god knows what to the car and racking up a large bill with a huge grin Edited December 22, 2013 by wizurd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 When I bought the car and the salesman told me it could be run on normal unleaded.. Having looked online most site say yes others say no and only use super unleaded.... I'm confused what to run it on. I only use normal unleaded when I can't get V-Power and only put a tenners worth in. I've done this maybe 15 times in the 7 years I've had The Zed.

Why haven't I got a rear window wiper??? It's a UK GT spec.. A previous owner removed it. It's a very common mod and IMHO improves the looks with minimal loss.

HARMLU Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 If you need one, I have a rear motor, arm and blade. That's only because I took mine off. IMO keep it as it is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
