hi all, as an update to my first post, the zed wasnt revving up to the redline and there was a lot of slack in throttle cable,( kindly solved by you guys on here) i did a bit of research on the net and found that in some circumstances after work being done on the car it can go into limp home mode and that by resetting the ecu it can cure the fault ( disconnecting the battery over night was the answer given online) so not having much mechanical knowledge i decided to give it a try, reconnected battery this morning, took it for a blast up the east lancs rd and hey presto problem solved, i still think the engine could breathe an awful lot better but it will at least still rev to redline now -have any of you more knowledgable guys ever come across this before ?
