A recent discussion on the Zedshed Cymru whatsapp chat was that going through your insurer shouldn't affect your no-claims or premiums. (Admittedly for non Zed cars)- I've previously just gone direct to the repairer eg Autoglass, and they have contacted the insurer registered to the car and I've...

Welcome from another South Wales member - Your car looks mint condition👌

Cheers - I'm in Cardiff but love any excuse to drive up into the Cotswolds - would love to meet up in the area if you have any 'meets'

Hi @samZ4M - Is the Cotswold Strasse event still on for 26th April - there's nothing showing on the 'Events' page of the Cotswold Strasse website

I took the whole seat out - and even then it was upside down on my back ( Barry / Umfaam) also on his back as we got to the bolts, cables and plugs holding it all together - bloke in the video must have done loads to know exactly where the 8 bolts and the ECU plugs were located whilst staying...

Gives an idea what it all looks like to get at and replace the whole steering column - this is for Left Hand Drive but very similar - its not as easy as it seems to be on the video though - the weight of the motor had me sweating trying to hold it in place while unscrewing / screwing the 8x...

Just as an update - Umfaan was able to find me a second hand complete column with motor from his contact in Chester and very kindly helped me swap it for the old one this weekend during the one sunny day we've had. Colb then came over today with his code reader also with Umfaan to follow up and...

Thanks again.

Thanks for responding enuff_zed- this was my logic ( hence why I felt the need to write a bit of an essay at the start to explain the situation) - a bit of a coincidence if there was an ECU fault and a torque sensor fault at the same time. And you agree with me about the likely symptoms of just...

Thanks bigwinn - that's what I thought about the ribbon, although I've seen mentions of locking the column in place before removing / working on it so didn't know how easy it was to damage if not done right.

Hi All - a member for a while but first time posting - thanks for all the great info you all put up. Sorry if the below is a bit of a long one. The power steering on my 2006 2.0 sport failed intermittently back in the summer with the warning light coming on, zero power assistance and the...
