Hello

[gsinclairzs]

Hi,

Just thought I would say hello. Some of you may know me from ZSCentral? I've had my 120+ for just over 4 months now and am really happy with it. I've lowered it 30mm on motobuilds and treated her to a brand new set of 11 spokes.

Looking forward to sharing ideas with all of you. I live in Dundee and would also like the chance to meet up with other owners.

Hi Mate,

Thanks, yeh it's got a lip spoiler fitted. Only got the wheels a few weeks ago (from what I gather, finding a new set is like finding Noah's Ark), the caps arrived separate a few days later from ebay and I haven't got round to taking a new photo yet. I'll try and get some done this weekend.

Cheers

Thanks for the offer mate, but as much as I hate to admit it, the car has recently started losing water and I'm worried about taking her on a long journey at the mo. Looks very much like the dreaded hgf.:sad: Was at first hoping it was the water pump, but now theres a little mayo in the ex tank.

[grimmy]

Sorry to hear that hope you get it sorted with the minimum of fuss

[andys1981]

Actually bought it from a guy who lived in Greenock, so it's possible. He worked in Glasgow. Had straights fitted when I got it so would probably be easily recognisable. Not too many mk2's with kits and straights fitted.

Looking nice, kept clean and tidy.

[gsinclairzs]

Thanks. Yep don't plan to do any more mods to the outside now.

[gsinclairzs]

Some changes. Changed the rear to correct motobuilds, chrome sills, mk 1 door cards, Rover 400 sound-proofing and rear head-rests. Very happy!:smile2:

The ZS always looks better when lowered. Good mod.

[gsinclairzs]

Thanks mate. Yep, really happy with the way it looks now.

[gsinclairzs]

Well, some of you may know that my expertise in mechanics isnt great, but you would think that I could paint my calipers without any problems. Wrong! Started getting a funny noise from the rear brakes recently. Took it to my mechanic friends, he got it up on the ramp and said, "Don't drive it." Apparently when I painted them many moons ago, the paint dripped into between the pads and either, discs or calipers cant remember which. :? He said something along the lines of 4 sets of pads were falling apart! The garage is only along the road, so I decided to get her home and take it of the road for a week and use Pam's fiesta. Was told to order up 4 new sets of pads and 2 new rear discs, (Ended up getting 4 new disc, the pictures may explain why. :) ) However last Saturday when I went to drive the car back to the garage, heard a horrible grinding noise front the back offside, then a noise like plates smashing! The pads had fallen out. Anyway all fixed now and luckily the caliper was ok. :) Just haven't needed to drive it recently as my work has been closed for a week and a half now. :D Snow, Snow, Snow!!!!!!!!

Also, got the straights back on for the winter.

[stamford]

Your pads fell out! Blimey too scared to ask why :whistle:

[BUCKYDEVIL]

You lifted your car with a trolley Jack on ice with nothing to chock the wheels or put under the car if it slipped.. Lucky you got away with that ..
Maybe need more planning ...

Nice .... Love the chrome rings on the dash dials. I'm rubbish with mechanical bits .... How hard were they ?

I'm rubbish too mate and wouldnt have attempted this, had I not had a dash bulb out. They are actually very easy. Took about 25 mins from start to finish. They really do make a big difference.

He says bend the largers rings, but I didnt find that they needed to be. If you get stuck drop me a quick message.
