Indicator return problem..........
When indicating to leave a roundabout, the stalk does not always return to the off position. I've had cars before where a certain amount of lock is needed and perhaps this is a trait of Zeds but it's a potentially dangerous problem for me :( Today, with hood down on a 60mph road I passed the entranc...

A sign of old age?
Downhill, wind behind me, hot tyres and an empty 3 lane highway ahead. Hit the kick down in my 3.0L automatic, pulled a neck muscle and hung on for dear life reaching the heady speed of 83mph :oops: Am I alone in thinking the Zed is not best suited to excessive speeds or is it customary for a sports...

Storage box won't lock?
I can't get the top storage box between the seat backs to lock?
The key fits and works in the glovebox and the lock rotates exactly the same but does not open the back box.
Any ideas?

Chips away

What use is an extra inch?
How come you've only got 17" and a lot of these chaps have 18" my wife asked me the other night?
I really don't know I answered!
So whats the reason thinking behind 17" or 18" wheels?
I can't see a difference? Fortunately, neither can my missus.
