I have had an intermittent (sp) clicking noise from my engine. It only happens at low revs, between idle and 1500 revs, Over that it doesnt happen. Its not a tappet noise, its deeper on is only 1 thing making a noise, not lots of tappets. I was wondering, could a worn out injector make that noise? Stuart

My clutch has a lot of movment before reaching the bit point. It moves 4 inches down very easily before getting hard and then I only have about 1 inch of movment left. The bit point litterally just above the clutch being fully down. Does it just need adjusting? Or is my clutch going? Stuart

A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died." Kenny replied, "Well then, just give me my money back." The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already." Kenny said, "OK then, at least give me the donkey. The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?" Kenny, "I'm going to raffle him off." Farmer, " You can't raffle off a dead donkey!" Kenny, "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he is dead." A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, "…

Now you're all probably going to call me thick for asking this as it's probably impossible! But... does anyone know of any ramps you can buy to get a Z with a standard front up into the air? If not, how do you guys without access to garage facilities get underneath your vehicles? I'd be loath to get under a Z supported only on axle stands. Cheers Mike

Helloee, Been searching for you lot on the web since Monday when I got back home off my hols, don't get much time though, I'm a mechanic and donm't have a PC at home so have to sneak a go on the work's one during lunch. I popped into Billing on the way back to Norfolk, wow there were some smart Zeds there. Some of you seemed to know a fair bit, and some great ideas and knowledge, cheers for letting me look at what you'd been doing guys, good to meet you all. Looking at fitting some new IC's myself before I gup the boost any further, anyone got any suggestions? Oh man, there was this one poor guy said he'd just fucked his engine up, you have to mod these …

Yellow Z spotted this lunch time driving through Coulsdon. Did'nt catch the registration (after all the theft awareness recently would'nt post any of it any how) but did notice it had aftermarket twin single exit exhausts. The rest of the exterior/wheels etc were pretty standard.

Craig if you read this thanks for your help last night and sorry for the interruption on your wedding day,but hey Z must allways come first. Anyone know where I can lay my mitts on a Fuel Pump. Bit desperate as Z is dead at the moment. thanks all Pete

This is weird I can use web no problem but as soon as I try to go to www.autometer.com My computer either reboots itself or I get the Microshaft blue screen of death. It does the same it i type the url or click a link. But no other site does this to me. If I get the blue screen and manage to continue i cannot view any more pages and have to log off and back on again. How can a website cause a system error on your PC???? ------------------

Hi guys, I've just been to see a poorly Zed of a colleage of mine and need to bounce some ideas off you guys to see if I'm heading in the right direction. These are the symptoms: 1. Car is very difficult to start 2. Idles EXTREMELY rough and stalls after a while (if you don't keep your foot on the accellerator) 3. ConZult ECU codes results - 13 (Coolant system) & 34 (Detonation sensor) 4. ConZult sensor reading - engine temp is very slow to climb to operating temp (took about 1/2 hour at 1500rpm to climb to 68C) 5. under light load (while stationary) there is obvious detonation (but not all the time) The ECU code 34 is not a worry as (a)the…

Replaced the PTU and the coilpack that was broke today (thanks phil!). Fired her up and its not a bit better. So then, onto the fuel system. Im presuming the signal from the CAS goes to the ECU where it is processed and the injectors are then pulsed... IS there any chance it could be a CAS problem? Could a bad connection cause it form the CAS? If there was a bad CAS connction would it not show up as a fault on the ECU? Has anyone ever had an injector stuck? People who have had upgraded injectors... how much does it coat to have them changed? How can you test the injectors? IVe heard of testing the resistance across them, listening to t…
