Hey guys. I haven't been on these forums for a long time, but faithful Zed is running as well as ever. Getting ready for another huge road trip across the continent. I was thinking of installing a new navigation/mp3 style kind of deck. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good nav/mp3 tuner...

I'm not sure if people are still looking for these. I got a flat on one of the rears and put on a different pair. I have this spare sitting around. I'm not sure how much tread is left, I can take a picture for those interested. PM me with offers.

Hey guys. I'll start by saying that I have the recommended PS battery from Delco for the 2002 installed. It has lasted me 3 years but It seems that it is already running weak. Once, I was rolling along and got the "System Charge Fault" message. I'm also getting the column lock problem every time...

Yes it will for sure. Thanks for the help folks.

Found my problem!!! It was the tensioner pulley on the AC BELT causing the raucus. I removed the AC belt and no noise. I turned the pulley manually and it must have kept going for a good 10-15 seconds on its own. The bearings must be totally gone. Now that I see this I hope my balancer has no...

I don't know if this would prove much but I tried to move around the tensioner a bit with a breaker bar with the car running. There was no change in sound from any of the positions I tried. I assumed that it would stop squealing if I forced the tensioner momentarily into the 'correct' position...

My tensioner is drooping a bit but not nearly as bad as the one I see there. No thrown belts yet and I drove about 2000km last week to Chicago and back. I keep a breaker bar and a 15mm socket in the back just in case it happens. Is a balancer hard to change on your own?

There is a slight wobble on the balancer but nothing that looks like it's ready to self destruct. It's not causing any kind of damage to the belt that I can see. I am thinking this might be my problem. Strange part is that sometimes after driving for 10-15 minutes the car will stop squealing...

I replaced the pulley only. I thought it was the only moving part on the tensioner so what else in there could make that noise? I also just installed a gatorback belt. Seems to have modified the squeaking noise but it's still quite audible. The old belt was damaged too so that eliminates the...

Alright. Some of you might remember me having this problem for some time as I've made a thread on it before. I'm now embarassed to drive my car, which is shameful. It just squeals so loud I keep being reminded of a rusty old beater whose owner just doesn't care that his car sounds like a pen...

My alternator doesn't charge in city driving, only at highway speeds. No red lights on the dash and this has been happening for the past several hours of driving at least. The quote from the dealer here in vancouver is $1100 repair 850 for the alternator alone, which seems a bit ridiculous to...

I can't disagree, it's been a great summer. Way better than the 2 last rainy ones and there was plenty of cruising weather to be had.

I ordered some replacements from tire rack and i'll be going down to potsdam in new york to pick them up either tuesday or wednesday. It really sucks to have to wait 1-2 weeks to use your car again. I was also days away from leaving for a road trip, how irritating is that!! Thanks for the...

If there is one constant in the universe, it's that there are arseholes everywhere, and we're no exception. These tires are proving hard to find, I have to wait 1-2 weeks!

My tires were slashed (stabbed) last night on my very own driveway. Brand New Wide Ovals to boot. Has anyone heard of any places that can repair a sidewall? I know it's a slim chance it can be fixed but i thought to try anyways. I was lucky they only slashed 2 and not 4 of them. It's not worth...

I know that the alternator was replaced before i owned the car. The voltage at idle is 13.7V. I've started the car several more times since this afternoon and the problem has not showed again. I will keep starting it periodically and i will drive it to work which is minimum risk if the issue...

It's worth mentioning that the battery is well over 12.4 while the car is running, the 11.9 was only with the key in the ON position. I recently changed my plugs/wires but i have not had any problems up until now so i'm lead to believe they aren't the culprits. I will try to get a torque...

I've also run into this problem today. I never thought it would affect me but the problems I could have had over the past 3 years of owning the car seem to have all appeared in this 4th year. Kinda feels that way anyhow. The worst part is that i took time off for a LONG road trip out to British...

Thanks for the tip i didnt think about that, i forgot that my dad uses that for his car. As for checking the connector/switch are we talking removing the entire steering wheel or just the shroud? Or even just looking up under near the pedals?

I'll give it a shot, thanks.
