So I decided to work outside yesterday and make a start on the zed once again. From its enforced slumber where the last time it was used was way back in July 2014 when the tax ran out. What with my holiday last September and christmas I decided to sorn it. Wish I hadn't left it so long but sometimes other things take priority.
Anyway had a good look over it and the battery was fully charged so hooked it up and popped the fuel pump relay. Had to swap the fob battery over as this appeared dead. Cranked it over until the oil pressure light went out, popped the relay back in and if fired up straight away. The zed never fails! :thumbsup: It ran like it was used all the time.
Left it ticking over whilst I cleaned the new brakes up. Released the zeds brakes and managed to turn the car around and park it up nose out. So waiting for a dry patch so I can strip the front brakes and fit the biggies :D
Then get the rear brakes stripped and cleaned again and do the usual fluid replenish and order a couple of handbrake cables as one is partially seized.
Once I get Kathy's MGF MOT'd end of the month then I can look to get the zed finished and ready for its MOT, looks like it'll be ahead of schedule for this years POL.
