Hello from the Fylde Coast
Hello from sunny Blackpool. I’ve been lurking here for a little while, but have finally taken the plunge and bought a 56 plate coupe that has previously belonged to Steve84N of this parish.
Looks like there will be fun, although I’m yet to fully appreciate the significance of all the mods that seem to have been done.
I should be collecting my new toy at the end of the week. Questions to follow.

Nice choice, it seems surprising how long Steve’s old car has been on the market - hope you got it for a good price?

Hello from the Fylde Coast
Welcome to the forum from a fellow Coupe owner.
I bet the week can't go quick enough now!
Just don't forget some photos - once you've managed to stop driving!

Hello from the Fylde Coast
At last another member from North of Watford Gap. Welcome to the club and from myself also in sunny Blackpool. Look forward to seeing your newly acquired Zed on the road.

Hello from the Fylde Coast
Cheers chaps. Pics to follow as soon as I’ve collected her.
Initial questions whilst I’m waiting:
Is there a service manual of some sort?
If my car is a 2006 e86, what motor do I have, N52?
What is a Grom?

Hello from the Fylde Coast
Sorry, I can't help with 2 of your questions, but your engine will definitely be an N52.
Apart from the M Coupe, the 3.0Si N52 is the only engine ever fitted to UK E86s.

Hello from the Fylde Coast
Its a USB/Bluetooth connection port that I don't think is fitted as standard on the e86? You can retro fit them and there is plenty of advice on how to do it. Why do you ask the question? Has it been or were you told it was fitted? And yes you do have the N52 engine fitted in your new Zed.Brunocrossley wrote: ↑Mon Mar 12, 2018 10:29 pm Cheers chaps.

No, E86s don't come with a Grom in that case - just a 3mm Aux input jack.

Hello from the Fylde Coast
Thanks again.
Questions arose after finding posts on here by the previous owner, Steve. I understand things like the LSD and Eibach. Grom was a new one on me. Sounds useful, if I can operate it. I’m a bit of a Luddite. My current toy car is a ‘68 AH Sprite.

I'm a bit Luddite too - I've only had a Smartphone a month.
But my toy is at least from the 21st Century - my Z4C of course!
