Hello does anyone had this problem? If oil sensor worn out is it just a oil pressure gauge stop working or is that more serious that all oil pressure in engine is gone? Because my car have this problem oil gauge is showing low and engine is shaking, is that can be that is no oil pressure at all in my engine? I left my car with this problem for 3 weeks and now today I decide to try to have a look I turn engine on and after half minute engine turns off and after that is doesn't start at all. Is this oil sensor can course this problem?

I had a banging from under the car for a while and suspected it to be either the gearbox mount or the centre prop bearing. After obtaining another front prop piece from slick pete:bow: I took it to the garage to get sorted this morning. I can tell you that my centre bearing, no longer had a bearing :no: completely gone, just the ring left lol. So after the new one fitted, banging gone. I have a bit of vibration now :wacko: but i think a turn 180deg may sort it out, but im not too bothered about it for the minute. Will wait till the weather gets a bit better and do it myself rather than going back to the garage. I took a spare new gearbox mount with me too just in…

Ok, I've been trying to find out what Toad I have on my car, I think its a Ai606. I went out to try to identify it and the fob isn't unlocking the car! The fob seems fine, the green light illuminates when I press the buttons. The dashboard LED is flashing red and very quickly. I haven't really paid attention to it before, so not sure if this is normal, but something tells me it should be flashing slower. The alarm has been fine, although it had started beeping 5 times on activation which apparently indicates a problem with the bonnet switch...which I wasn't too concerned about yet. It is freezing, the car has several inches of snow on it. I think so…

Looking for more help please, my car seems to intermittently on the gauge show its overheating, but within a few seconds can quickly drop back to normal temperature and sometimes, if i pull over it will drop to cold start position, but then quickly rise up again. the electric fan however never cuts in even if the gauge shows the car is on the red line of overheating, there are no water leaks, both sides of the radiator are warm, and the thermostat and radiator have been replaced in the last few weeks.. also if left stationary once warm, the temp gauge will slowly drop and show closer to the 1/4 mark in stead of remaining in the middle, and sometimes less.. …

You may remember that my car failed its MOT in May because of excessive smoke on idle and heavy acceleration. I changed the PCV valves and 34 of the pipes and all seemed OK and it passed its MOT. Well over the last few weeks I have noticed a smoke again after idling for 5 minutes or more. After about 10 minutes of idling the smoke stops though. When I installed the valves, I noticed that there was no spring pushing the ball bearing out, it moved freely when shaken. I though this odd until I looked at the pipes and their appeared to be something metal in two of the pipes, so assumed these were valves. Have I installed the wrong valves or maybe put the pipes…

My new exhaust is rubbing slightly against this shield that runs across the back of the car and is making an annoying screeching noise. What does this shield do and can it be removed / jigsawed down to size?

You can fit 2 struts on the z! Close but all good! And shut, The battery is the only problem I can see if you have a large one(ooeerr!) Thought I would have to move mine over a smidge but didn't have to in the end!:cool3:

With Jeffs bash being cancelled, I'm wondering if we can sort out a Z meet here in Doncaster before the New Year? Perhaps on the Monday or Tuesday following Christmas day, seeing as most of us will have those days off as bank holidays? Any other ideas considered of course. People from around Yorkshire would of course be welcome, but suggestions for venues are needed, we could just use the Vue car park like Donny Cruise used to, or we could use somewhere a little more central like the market car park if we did it later in the day? Interest levels and suggestions please?

Ok the latest update with pics.... the workshop area is getting very slippy but still seemed ok, but when I left to come home the access road was blizzard like, the Motorways seem ok in places but what tonight and tomorrow will bring is anyone's guess. So with a heavy heart I feel its best all round we cancel the event, it is so disappointing to get this close and the weather close in like it has, but we feel responsible for you guys and its really is not worth it for anyone to risk venturing out tomorrow to come to us. However on the upside it now gives us a damn good excuse to re-schedule it for after Christmas and make an even bigger event of it!!! So…

Looks like i'm going to have to buy a new battery :( My question is which battery to buy? I want to get one that kicks out a bit more power for my sound system which is soon to increase in size and power consumption. We're not talking mega powerful, just enough for maybe 2 amps and some decent speakers
