Lovely car ... have a feeling I have met that zed as well a couple of years ago ...

madmare

Fab Pics Nuts .... LOVELY colour

madmare

Thanks Nuts ... I had a 1.9TDI sport Ibiza - and sold that to get the zed

Only the 1.4TDi this time ... but it still goes well enough - and is dirt cheep to run which means we can keep the other toys!

madmare

... brilliant fun the zed is going

Got a good price trade in so will now be the owner of a sane and sensible Ibiza!

Lovely to 'meet' you all

madmare

Thanks P .... will have a look at the turret later on ....

madmare

Metallic dark grey (can't remember the name of the colour off the top of my head titanium grey?) with red and black leather interior. Usual 1.9 sport spec plus air con coming up to 74K miles but has FSH (although in a duplicate service book as original was lost early on) 12 months MOT (just had the ...

madmare

Thanks all - would be a private sale ...

Has the normal stone chips but no dents or rust ... also has a black tonneau cover and the blanket for the rear screen when the roof is down ....

madmare

2002 1.9 sport with air con

FSH and coming up to 74K miles. Just had an MOT (and new discs and pads all around)

madmare

After new discs and pads all round

Ah well - needs to be done ... there is also a bracket on the exhaust which needs replacing but only comes from BMW so that is on order

What I haven't had yet is the bill!

madmare

Deano - those are the 'old' bands for tax .. they have been revamped as per the list on the pistonhead site

madmare

And yet all our old historic cars - which to be honest spew out more stuff than our modern day to day cars - are free

So - Disco and Landy can go and I'll get a pre '73 Midget I think

madmare

So the zed (which is currently an F) will be £260 More annoying is the Disco (also currently an F) which will go up to £440 That's double! I wonder why we bother working hard really when we just keep getting hammered like this ... The Disco is here for a reason - to tow - so perhaps we need to get r...

madmare

I'm totally confused ...

So what about my 2002 1.9 Sport? And the 2001 Land Rover Discovery?

Yikes!

madmare

Yup - the front would have given it away ...

Need to move some stuff around in the garage as Molly seems to have a leak so needs some work to cure that ...

The VA needs her engine back and the zed is off for an MOT at the end of the week ...

madmare

All's well ... started this morning fine - so phew - normal service resumed ... although think will get hunny to take the zed to work a couple of days this week to give it a good run ..

Rode yesterday - wimped out today - there was sleet up on the moor!

madmare

Molly is a 1962 MG Mk4 Magnette - she is a little like a Cambridge tho ....

There is also a ZA Magnette, another 60's Mk4 Magnette and a Land Rover Discovery .....

madmare

Not sure why this one didnt appear!

madmare

We seem to be collecting them!!!

There are some more as well .... we need a bigger garage!

madmare

So toddled out of the house and clambered into the zed, keys in ignition - turn the key and all the lights came on ... turned again and 'click' ... nothing Tried again - similar result ... with a sinking feeling I clambered back out of the zed, stomped in the house, announced to hubby that he would ...

madmare

Am glad to be back ... well done and thanks Tim ... Dont mind the colour - reminds me of my car!

madmare

Hey good to be back - although for me everything is looking a little odd?

madmare

A true sportsman and a great loss

My thoughts and condolances to the families and friends involved

madmare

And lastly - good luck!

It is so annoying isn't it when the thing only ever does it at night

madmare

Could the new stich be faulty/sensitive? You have my full sympathy ..as have had similar problems - and resorted to leaving mine unlocked for a while - not ideal! I am touching wood madly - but since hubby took the bonnet switch out completely mine has behaved rather well!!! Could be that your stere...

Flash your white bits then wave, that should guarantee an acknowledgement

What white bits?

madmare

I could get someone to collect for me if that's ok - have you still got it ?

madmare

madmare

... has decided to go off randomly ... it has been fine for nearly 12 months but today has decided to misbehave! It is the first hot sunny day we have had for a while - typical really as left it at home so the neighbour has had to put up with it for the last few hours Anyway - I seem to remember rea...

madmare

Is the cover still available

madmare

Is the cover still available?

madmare

Is the cover still available?

madmare

I've still got both - the error and the SS ad?

madmare

Fabby news!!!

Enjoy ..............

madmare

There will be no question of hiding speed cameras from the public. Each new camera site will be well marked with advance warning signs, road markings and highly visible cameras. The alert driver will have no difficulty in ensuring that his or her speed is appropriate on the approach to the camera

madmare

To clarify on my earlier point ... perhaps it differs from area to area as to whether the camera safety partnership give warnings - I know the force where I live do and so does Surrey according to this ..... An important principle of the Surrey Safety Camera Partnership is that speed enforcement is ...

madmare

As of Feb this year when the Road Safety Act came into play, radar detectors etc are ILLEGAL, including those items with 'alternate uses' such as garage door openers. You have been warned........ Rob This is rather unfair, isn't it? so it's ok for them to trap/catch a speeding driver but not ok for...

madmare

Thanks T48TRE ... some days it does it some days it doesnt ..... OH still unconcerned about it and the zed is due to go to have the brake apds done so might ask the man who does to have a quick listen/nosey and see what he thinks ...

madmare

... well OH informs me it is a noisey cam follower!!! Tends to be when started from cold - and goes pretty soon - certainly within a few mins .. So - can someone explain ehat that's all about - is it easy to fix? Do I NEED to fix it - OH seems totally unconcerned - I'm doing the typical woman thing ...

madmare

Thanks .... may try and repair it ... just because

madmare

Well - hopefully not as dramatic as that - but something has broken!! Typically OH is away and I am not sure what bit has fallen off ... it's approx in the middle of the passenger window on the inside between the outer bit of the roof and the lining ... looks like piece of string that goes from a sm...

madmare

I've just lost light number 2 and that is about 6.5K since the service?

madmare

VERY VERY nice!

Do you think I could convince OH we need to sell the Z3 - and a few others - so I can have a Z4?

madmare

Thanks all

Was never going to rely on them - am waiting for price from nice man who does - and it will go off and be sorted .. was just curious more than anything as OH said it had them and I wasn't so sure!

madmare

HI I spent 3 years saying I wanted an MGTF - eventually convinced OH and went and drove 2 - both low mileage - under 20K - 3 yrs old and around the £8K mark - one a 1.6 and the other a VVC ... drove the VVC first and didn't really feel safe at at all - very skittish (is that a word?) and for some re...

madmare

Do all zeds have them - or just some of them

Does mine - 2002 1.9 sport

Had an advisory note after MOT that brakes pads were worn but having discussions with OH over whether or not it has the warning lights anyway!

madmare

I went to look at one in that colour before I bought mine - in the flesh it does actually look better than in the pics - different and quite funky!

madmare

Mines around 67,500 I think - it was the one thing that I compromised on in the end - the zed was higher mileage than I would of liked but at the time I was doing loads of miles so I put loads on any car anyway and it does have a full service history Anyway - it's a BMW it'll go on for years and years

madmare

Smart Zed! Are they the red leather seats? I spent ages trying to find a Steel Grey 2.8 w/ the red leather interior. It took me 3mths just to find a grey 2.8, so I had to compromise on the interior eventually. Booo!!!!!! Zed has sports seats so red and black - I looked at a black 2.2 that had a bla...
