Hi, tried search to no avail, I have a squeaky clutch, not the usual under dash bush squeak, this sounds like its under the bonnet! I can hear it with the window open when depressing the clutch whilst sitting in traffic and it sounds awful! I am sure it will just need some lube on it, can anyone poi...

I have Toyo Proxes T1-Rs fitted to mine, no issues, lots of grip and seem to last well! They get my vote every time.

I have always had Toyo Proxes T1-R s fitted to my 18 inch alloys on my Zed and have found them superb. Also seem to be popular on feature cars in PBMW.
They get my vote everytime!!

Hello, I have used the search to no avail! hopefully someone can help! My 2001 facelift 1.9 starts fine from cold, but as soon as you try to pull away (ie load up the engine) it just stalls. Loads of extra gas as you pull away helps and once away its fine, also If I let the engine idle on the drive ...

I had a powerflow exhaust fitted to my face lift 1.9 12 months ago and had no problems, its a little loud but thats what I wanted (you can specify how loud you want it) and you do get used to it quickly! The fitter chopped the standard system after the cat and fitted a flange to join the stainless o...

Hi all, have recently noticed a clunking noise around nearside front area when car is up to temp (ie been ran 5 miles or so) seems to happen when pulling away, nothing over rough ground, tried jacking up and having a good waggle of wheel/suspension and can not find anything obvious. Can anybody shed...

allenmnmn

Hi, I had a powerflow exhaust fitted just after xmas, it is louder than standard, but quite acceptable (doesnt wake the neighbours up when I am on earlys) and looking at it its cat back with twin boxes, maybe worth taking it back and asking them to fit a second box, oh and mine was £300 fitted. HTH ...

allenmnmn

Hi, had a powerflow ss fitted to my facelift 1.9 just after christmas, twin 3 inch pipes, looks good, sounds good, and lifetime warranty!! oh and the price was similar to a standard replacement. The original system was welded so they cut just after the cat and welded a flange on, top quality no prob...

Thanks for the replies, it seems I cant see for looking!! at least I know it will be an easy fix! Thanks again!!

Hello, can anyone identify the part circled from real.oem?? I cant find it listed!! I seem to have a small leak from this area and would like to identify the part so I can buy a new one!! Its from my 2001 M43 1.9. Cheers Allenmnmn <a href="http://s570.photobucket.com/albums/ss141/allenmnmn/?act...

I tried to connect using a mates hand held code reader (need to reset engine warning light after MAF fault, but reluctant to pay for the privelage if I can get a reset set-up for similar money- for the future and all that!!)but it would not connect. Am I right in thinking that as my build date is 20...

allenmnmn

Does anyone have a cheap one for sale, or any info where I can get one??

allenmnmn

Thanks for the reply,
I will get the fault light reset on monday and see what happens!!

Hi all engine warning light on my 2001 1.9 Z3 is lit up, had diagnostics done at local indie, showed fault code 171 fuel supply fault, he said to replace MAF which I did this morning but light still on!! any ideas??? Does this type of fault need to be reset by indie?? oh and the car is running fine,...

allenmnmn

I got mine from www.motorforce.co.uk excellent fit and quality, 2 years on still very good!!

Hi all! Driving home from work this morning in my 01 1.9 Zed and the dreaded engine warning light came on, car still runs fine but noticed when I stopped that the rear section of the exhaust is blowing around the axle area, not mega bad but quite noticable, could the light and exhaust be related?? w...

allenmnmn

Yes I use one too, for the price didnt think it was worth poking about under the bonnet with a bit of wire and risk damaging something.

allenmnmn

Has anyone used Langka for repairing stone chips? seems to get decent remarks on detailing world. Just wanted to know if anyone on here has tried it before I take the plunge!!

allenmnmn

Hello, you need to get your car checked out by a dealer or indie, the fault code will be stored in the ecu and can be read and rectified from there, mine had a similar thing where the engine light came on but car running unaffected and it turned out to be the MAF playing up. The earthing of pins tha...

allenmnmn

I also fitted the same led bulb, but noticed it did not go 'out' fully. It still had a very slight glow which was noticable in the dark. Anybody had the same??

allenmnmn

Thats one shiny zed!! I use the megs 3 step system with Zymol wax to finish, might give the megs 7 a try!!

allenmnmn

thanks for the kind comments!!

Mine was the same, cured it by taking washer bottle out (only one plastic nut) then removed the pump, leaves a little black grommet type thing in bottle, remove this as it is a filter, mine was clogged, cleaned and reasssemled, nearly put the screen out with the washers then!!!! HTH

Hello, my alarm on 2001 zed seems to go off about 30 mins after parking up, tried the usual bonnet switch disconnect etc... to no avail, on a whim tried disconnecting the tilt sensor (i think, its in the rear passenger side wheel arch accessed from the boot) seems to have worked!! was just wondering...

cheers for the replies, does anyone know what the led flash codes correspond to, might help me pinpoint whats setting alarm off?
If alarm has gone off without me resetting it first I get a flash of the hazards then the led flashes a number of times.
Cheers for your time
