Interestingly the auction started at 99p. No reserve either. Looks a good example in the best colour, wonder how much she'll go for…

Mint

Pic three for me also

Mint

+1 for Auto Glym. Had great results on the Zed with the cleaner and proofer.

Mint

Looks like you need a seat belt guide repaired also Barry. There's a great chap on the forum that sells just such an item, it is in the style of a letterZ. It's a great bit of kit, you should get some

You haven't bought Z3cades have you?

Mint

Looking at it again, it looks like the air intake system under it rather than the ASC. Plenty of room by the look of it though, can anybody else confirm?

Mint

How about this :

I got these from Event Tyres for the Zed £340 for the 4 (2 x 245/40 & 2 x 225/45).

Mint

Count me in for this, sound like a good day. Lets hope the weather has been sorted out by then

Mint

Another place you could try is Event Tyres. I've used them a few times including for the Zed. They come to your home (or work) and they are good prices.

Mint

I used TRIPLE QX Engine Oil 5w40 Fully Synthetic from Carparts4less

Mint

Welcome from me too Ewan, lets see some pics

Mint

Welcome from me too, your Dad certainly looked after his car. It's a credit to him, enjoy it.

Mint

Congrats - another years motoring.....

Mint

Hi Peter and welcome to the forum. Got any pictures to show us? We'd love to see your new motor

Mint

I had a similar thing with my Zed a while back. Wobble at 50 - 60mph. Turned out to be a sticking brake caliper.

Mint

I didn't when I changed mine. Just took the old one out and put the new one in. Simples

Mint

Bad luck with the battery. IIRC when I changed mine last year there was a vent pipe which ran from the side of the battery. Is this what you're calling a cable?

Mint

It's not quite the same as mine (same make though), this is the one I got from Lidl:

I do the same as gookah, I leave it on whilst SORNed. Been on since Nov 1st this time...

Mint

...more modest Meyle version for my little 4-pot engine. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370803906075?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Interestingly the pump for my M54, 2.2, 6 pot is cheaper :? and it specifies a metal impellar. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Water-Pump-BMW-E60-520i-525...

Mint

Well I think the most expensive water pump arrived this morning from the US, well if didn't actually arrive I had to pick it up from Parcelforce ! So laid out £146 for the pump including postage to the UK then Parcel force wouldn't delivery it until I paid a further £41 for handling and VAT import ...

Actually it's not too bad, it doesn't seem to mark as badly as I thought it would (or my eyes are getting worse

)

Mint

Nice looking wheels. Look a bit easier to clean than mine...

Mint

Pleased for you Barry, it looks a great example. Looking forward to seeing what you do with her.

Looks like you had a good drive home to see how she drives on some fantastic roads

Sorry, who's talking about looks?

Mint

Welcome from me too. Looks a great car you have there, can't beat a blue Zed

Mint

Don't know why black was a common sorry popular colour in SA. You'd have thought a light colour would have been chosen.

Glad you're staying in the Zed fold Barry, your knowledge and experience would be sorely missed

. Best of luck tomorrow...

Mint

Believe it or not, but Lidl do a great battery charger/conditioner. I bought couple in 2012 and they are a great piece of kit. £11.99 each if I recall and with a three year warranty too. They were on offer at the time but the offer has been repeated several times since. Yes I bought one as well - v...

Mint

I'll 6th that. Thanks to the admin team for the site and all contributors for their help. A great forum

Mint

Happy New Zedding Year all

Mint

I'm amazed as well Barry. I hope you have fun on your next project and if it's Zed based I'm sure we'll still see you on the forum

Mint

Zedbedee, that sound like a bargain. Not worth getting your hands dirty for that price, even without the rain

Mint

I`ve used the Gunsons Eezibleed in the past with good results, but not yet on the Z. You would need to ensure the kit contains the right size cap! Cheers, Steve. I bought this Gunsons Eezibleed from Amazon earlier in the year and it came with the right size cap for my Zed. http://www.amazon.co.uk/d...

Mint

Looks a great example Tom, liking your wheels.

Mint

Hi Tom and welcome to the forum from another 2.2 owner. As you've been lurking here for a while you'll know the forum rules - lets see some pictures of your new toy

Know it well. We've holidayed (if that is a word) in that area. Great walking but never been in the winter. Are you teaching or on holiday?

Cheers Barry, Happy Christmas everyone and a Happy Zedding 2014

Agreed Two and that's most of my driving, but let it rev and it goes fine

Mint

IIRC the 'Battery Master Switch' was fitted at the factory so the battery was disconnected while the vehicle was in transit. The dealer removed the switch as part of the PDI. You'll never find it

Mint

Looks really good Brian

Mint

I got one from the local dealer for about £28 iirc.

Mint

Hi and welcome to the forum from me too

. Lots of help available on here any questions just ask. Enjoy Zeddin.

Mint

Welcome from me too

I've used a standard Churchill policy for my 2.2 Z3, 5000 miles limit which comes in at £192.

Mint

I had the same problem with my headlights. I asked the same question some time ago and was recommended '3M Headlight Restoration Kit to Restore Dull/ Faded/ Discoloured Headlights'. It's about £20 and it gave great results, the headlights came up like new. As Alfie says though it gets worse before i...

Hiya Mint, I think he is wanting the mpg for the Z4's - get over on the light side :D this is the darkside :D :D Was there a 2.2 Z4 (in first post) ???

Mint

They did well not to run him over, I've never seen a bunny run that far.

Mint

I've got the 2.2, plenty of poke (for me). When driving carefully I get mid 30s but it drops to low 30s when 'pushing on'. Never got less than 30mpg though. Love the sound of the 6 pot as well

Mint

Maxxis MAZ1's are a great all rounder and are also a decent price. They have a good looking tread pattern as well, I think I paid about £75 a tyre for 225/40/18s. A few other members also run them and have been quite impressed :-) Yes agreed, I run them as well :) This is the tread pattern; http://...
