Is the link to my zed...if someone on here wants it I'd goto £4995. Not listed in ad is that it also comes with tonneau cover, wind deflector and a cover.

Sorry to be selling but need the cash

domross

Ok found both, it's the single vanos...so a left over...

domross

Fingers crossed the water-ingress is the brake-light as that’s an easy fix…mine was the bitumen type seal between the bodywork and frame that holds the roof in place had dried out and broken down…it’s not a difficult fix, but it does take time and patience (and the back of a contortionist) HTH

domross

This is probably simple stuff but…. Difficulty in starting especially when hot together with occasional and indiscriminate drops in revs lead me to believe the cam shaft sensor and exhaust sensor (depending on engine type) are up the swanny…couple of basic questions though 1. My Zed is unhelpfully O...

domross

Why did you remove? Are you just running as stock now?
Have one myself and think it makes a fantastic difference to the car...

domross

Not surprised...probably a about 2-3k underpriced sorry to say...

domross

"All this was in addition to terrible paintwork - a total lack of etching primer on the aluminium bodywark, resulting in corrosion blisters all over the wings, and - when dismantled for repainting - a body frame which had to be replaced due to rot. All this was just over a year out of warranty,...

domross

Just had a quick squiz on flea bay at zeds...is it me, or have prices for older widebodies just taken a massive surge in the past year?
Not that I’m complaining but suddenly a decent 2.8 looks to be about £7-8k

domross

Thanks Ben, my roofs still the original so is now 24 years old, could do with changing...my better half a family live in ingatestoe so next time we visit, a trip to Chelmsford could be on the cards..

domross

Looks really nice, what's the material?

domross

Hi,
Yup I've got an OEM chrome and leather one in good order,
Or a walnut veneer one also mostly good but has small split at the base (can't really see when it's fitted and doesn't compromise fit)
If you PM/DM me your email I'll send you pics

Black Tonneau cover for sale, in excellent condition, all the fasteners are present and intact. £125

Thanks for the knowledgable reply Mike, I just came on for the first time in ages to ask this very question about E10.
I think Charlie’s main classic squeeze is a DB6 isn’t it?? He’s already had that converted for use with biofuels...something Aston will do for there special clients

domross

1st try will take about 45mins then about 30 mins start to finish after that...luck plays a huge part with this...

domross

Just out of interest, what sort of price are people paying for agreed value classic insurance for a 2.8....I'm over 50, full no claims and drive the car noore than 4-5000 miles per year.
Currently pay about £170 but it's not agreed value (just had respray...car immaculate)

domross

The German window is good, although I found I couldn't get the clamps to close off the zip, every time I used them it pushed the zips open again...I had to stitch it shut. As far as the canvas is concerned, use a butter knife or rounded spatula to run the canvas back under the beading...you can seal...

domross

Silicone lubricant spray works the same as Gumpifledge, it expands the rubber slightly, cheaper and easier to obtain alternative.
Respectfully, the vote could do with a 'neither' as well...

domross

what are the tyre sizes needed

domross

Did this last week,as a job its ok just a bit fiddly, but is mostly obvious, a few tips though...have the roof open and slightly ajar as it takes off the tension and makes it easier, also at the end i found it easier to stitch the ends to stop it coming apart,rather than placing the clamps...

domross

The window is all in and the zip ends are done. just a few tips if you are going to do this, that will save you time...if you get it right 1st time it'll only take about 30-45mins...however.. 1. If the Zipper appears tighter on one side than the other, (it is more difficult to go around the corners ...

domross

Thanks so much Jim, window arrived today and in...has to be one of the more fiddly jobs, how you laugh when it unzips halfway round just as you take the zipper off...for the 3rd time...looks great once done though Robert...I’m going to stitch the ends closed so will keep hold of the zipper just now ...

domross

Also Phil...depends how bad your seats are and whether you want them back to new or more lived-in...I have used this product https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/product/1032/no-1-leather-renovation-kit on an E30 I used to have...you send off a small swatch of leather from under the seat, they colour matc...

domross

Jim, I’ve pm’d you

Not used the repair service myself but the quality of his seat repairs looks good...he’s got a Facebook page under ‘the seat repair guy’ his contact deets are there...

domross

Again, no problem, just waiting on Jim still...
Are you going to use ‘the seat guy’ on ebay?

domross

No problem Robert, I'm waiting on hearing from Jim, but once the window is done, you are welcome to it.

domross

Hi Jim, definitely...Will take the whole thing

Cheers Dom

domross

I’m looking to get my rear window refurbed, does anyone have the zip attachment for removal and replacement?

domross

yep, had exactly the same symptoms...did exactly the same clean up...and all appears ok...the only other thing I considered o will have a look at if it comes back is the driveshaft bearings...but keeping fingers crossed all fixed.

domross

Not got the door mirrors by any chance??

domross

Marc,If you were closer I would have that like a shot!!If nothing else you've covered all the jobs that need doing to make these even better cars. Have you thought of changing the wheels back to spec? It wouldn't make any difference to the price and i'm sure you'd get £500-1000 for them?! Looks grea...

domross

Si, What are the wing/door mirrors on this? Are they Z3M's or something else??

domross

These are very definitely steel....v solid bit of kit and makes an amazing difference....really worth a bodybrace as well makes for go-kart handling!!

domross

Loved as much as a ginger step-child

...£700 would cover the interior and wheels though....rest looks shockingly bad...

domross

still after the passenger door/wing mirror if its available?

domross

pm sent re passenger door mirror

domross

Are you wanting to get some cash back??

domross

Brilliant...thanks Dave

domross

Cheers Del...will have a look

domross

Ignorance??? Should be 'if anyone' bloody predictive text..

domross

As per title...due to an argument between the garage door and my wing mirror involving a large gust of wind , my mirror is now dangling by the wires...ignorance anyone has a mirror they can sell please let me know.

domross

Did anyone on here get these?? If so do you want til Sell your passenger side mirror??

domross

try spraying or wiping the rubber with silicone lubricant....this causes the seals to expand slightly and may improve the seal

domross

Assuming the £7.5k was actually spent...why did they not just buy a Z3M??? I'm confused??

domross

Agree strongly with DC...make sure you got the money back before you hand the car over...if you paid by debit card (or even better credit card) they can perhaps refund on that?

domross

You might want to try E30zone.net for this??

domross

Pretty much as the title says...On my 2.8 '98 Zed there seems to have been a general loss of torque and when accelerating there is a flat spot between 1500-2000 revs above 2000 all is dandy The zed has just come back from an inspection 2 and I know the battery was disconnected for some time.... I kn...

domross

I've had both a Mk 1 MX5 and obviously a Zed...the MX5 was a nice little sports car...good handling and fun to drive ,however ,having driven from NE Scotland to Cornwall longer journeys were a little tiresome...but then again my car previous to that had been a VW T1 so anything was an improvement. T...

domross

Cos we like to live life on the edge?....not knowing when its time for the dreaded boot-weld repair

domross

£10k for an XJS????

domross

Thanks Mike...I'll have a look at that....even with the grounding wouldn't be without the bodybrace as it makes such a difference.
