Cheers Fogwan, I found the CDV smoothed out 1st and 2nd - got the Ram air scoop that Dan sells on here too. Sorry to hear yours was keyed, worst nightmare!

Thanks Marlon, I have decided not to try and find the culprit and hide in bushes as I will be a lifer of a different kind then. Gonna cheer myself up with the cdv and air scoop whilst waiting for the wrap firm to book her in. Did you have to bleed the clutch when you done yours?

Thanks Bing, I can help you rivet a piece of shed roof to yours for winter if you like? Where roughly in Kent are you? Do you go to zed fest? Can't go this year but interested next time. Any other meets you attend?

That is one sweet looking motor you have there! The ///M Coupe's are by far the best of the Z'ds :)

Whet colour is it underneath the wrap?

Ah, but then I wouldn't be able to enjoy crisp winter mornings with the hood down - thanks for the offer though :lol:

I'm in Maidstone, going to Zedfest this year. There are quite a few of us around, though meets/runs have been a bit light on teh ground this year so we need to get our act together. Keep an eye out in case we finally manage to sort one :driving: :thumbsup:

I didn't do it myself, however I believe there is no need to bleed the clutch - there's a how to on here somewhere if you do a search :thumbsup:
