Bruce, check your private message. I've seen a US specs here in the UK for sale; 03' 3.0i, 6 speed, black, HID, sports package, 40K miles etc. Has lights converted to EU/UK specs (should be simple to change rear fog light location for Spain). Send me a private message and I will forward you...

Now sold. Thanks, Mark

Something I've always worried about when leaving the Zed out of sight :( I'd try a dent remover business even it the dents do not come out completely (cost 100-200 quid?). Would be much cheaper than a replacement and respray and less worries about vandalism happening again to bonnet and boot...

:yeah: Finally got them on the phone with a mere 5 minute wait, once he saw my credit card had been verified he promptly unblocked my account. I was then able to top up using the E-Vouchers and place my autotrader ad. :D Now my apologies to clickandbuy. Once I was able to speak to someone...

sk93; At least you got a response, still frustrating. Thanks for the info mindware, I believe that clickandbuy credit card requirements is that the credit card is in one's own name and is tied to one's address. At iBux web page they offer one for 7.95 with a 10 pound cancellation fee (I'm...

I'm finding out the hard way :roll: Went to place two ads on autotrader (biketrader) who wouldn't take my US issued credit cards, but told me I could pay with cash via clickandbuy on Payzone. So I went to the local mart and bought 70 pounds worth of vouchers (one 20 & one 50) to use on...

As the title reads, anyone in the UK have an account with clickandbuy? Thanks, Mark :thumbsup:

I'm about to put the wife's up for sale. We bought it new in July 2003, always garaged and not driven winters, and we have all service records, no accidents and original paint. Sterling Grey, 42K miles, manual transmission, Sports pack (which includes M-tek suspension, 17" wheels - 106 Turbine...

Being a US spec model, it may have the sport package which included at the time the sport suspension, dynamic drive button, and 17' Turbine style 106 wheels. Unlike in the UK, the 3.0i in the US didn't come with the sport suspension as standard.

140mph or so indicated is about where the rev limiter cuts in (6,500rpms or so) on the 2.5i M54 in top gear with the 5-speed manual (2.5i with manual uses 3:46 rear diff verses 3.0i manual with a 3.07:1 rear diff). I wonder what the top speed of the 3.0i in 6th gear would be if it had the...

This one with compressed air; http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/29/video-car-dent-removal-with-hair-dryer-and-compressed-air/ Is this the same compressed air you can buy at computer stores? I wouldn't think such a cold spray would be used to clean computer keyboards etc. Perhaps it's only cold...

Are you sure you have leather and not Leatherette? Our's is Leatherette and it looks exactly like yours (minus the white spot). Just throwing out some ideas if this is Leatherette: Perhaps it was caused by heat, did you have something clear on the windshield such as a pass holder etc, that...

That appears to be the Sensatec Leatherette seat material, available in North America. What did you use to clean it with?

Look at the rubber gasket in the headlight backing cover for damage. If no damage and the crease (where the headlight shell rest against the gasket material in the headlight back cover) is uniform and near the middle of the gasket (which means that it was sealed properly), then make sure that...
