Looking to retrofit to my 2.2, so need all associated pipework as well. Is anyone breaking a 3.0 who has one to sell?

I've got one from a 3.0 si. Not sure if it's same as early pre facelift 3.0.
I'm sure someone will know.

Sadly it is different

Pity, I thought there would be loads out there, with multiple Zeds being broken, but maybe they are as scarce as offside front wings in Maldives Blue! Perhaps I should have bought a Unicorn, could probably get spares for one of those!

It only came on the 3.0i as standard.
I had to fit one to wifey’s 2.5i

Thanks for the heads-up Usel, after a 400 mile round trip today, the wing, drivers door and sound generator are now in my garage awaiting fitting! Couple of parking dents to sort out, anyone know a good dent guy in Devon?

Just fit the sound generator and take out the foam at the bulkhead end.
You'll soon forget all about the dents.
BTW, I can't remember the exact details but I think you have to use the existing connecting part between the the inlet pipe and the elbow section as the 3.0 version is the wrong diameter? Or something like that. It was a while ago.

I'm happy to pop down and put in as many dents as you need.

Cool, I'll prioritise the sound generator then! Dents can wait. There only small, but I'm fussy!

GreySquirrel · Post by **GreySquirrel** » Fri Feb 23, 2024 10:54 pm

Fitted the sound generator today. It sounds great! I tried it with both sponges out, but think it's a bit too loud, so have gone with the small one in, and the big one out. Sounds just right! Just looking for an excuse to drive it now. May take the long way to work tomorrow...

In other news, I had a weird feeling in the brake pedal, pulsating like ABS, and now the ABS, brake and tyre pressure warning lights are on. Suspecting a speed sensor, I managed to pick up a C110 scanner on marketplace for a tenner, and it appears that I have a front right, and rear right speed sensor fault. So looking for a pair of those now. That's the next job on the list...
