anyone got an oil catch tank fitted? where on earth are you supposed to put it?

Ok, bit of history first.. After a 60k maint, the car had a nice oil leak - actually it kinda had it before it, but it seemed to get worse after the 60k was done. It mostly came out around the join between the two upper cam covers - but everywhere else was pretty plastered in oil too, and it only seemed to come out under pressure, not when the engine was off. So, I've started stripping everything down (only 18 months after I stopped using the car, ahem).. and it's not quite what I expected. The outer (non ribbed) side of the cam belt is dry - where I expected it to be oily, the inner side is a little oily, but most of the oil seems to be pooled on the insid…

I've had a post here for a while about the problems with my zed. The problems are slowly getting worse and i've been off the road now for weeks. As the zed is my only car im buggered. I cant drive it to zcenter or ztech, one because I dont know if it will make it, and two because I dont have the time. Its a real problem now. Please, does anybody know of a mechanic in the herts/hatfield area that could help me? I really need to sort it out. Cheers if anyone can help.

I have read this thread by JD and the link contained within and have found it an interesting read. I also remember someone else posting about this but cant find the link anywhere... Bassically Im fitting the Brembo upgrade and was wondering if I should pull that fuse on the ABS once fitted?? Ive noticed my current abs can start interferring on late hard braking and cause me to overrun anyway so is it going to be even worse once the skyline kit is fitted? I know what the majority will say and it will be something like "Dont be so fookin stupid"...or thereabouts :rofl: But I never have and never will like abs so should/can i get shot now and just rely on good …
