Apart from another year without my Z on the road? LOL

 

Finally got the Z jacked up today and found that what I thought was a knackered clutch is nothing more than a hole in the braided clutch hose.

It must have only done a couple of thousand miles on the car but had rubbed on the oil filter and split.

There was still loads of fluid in the reservoir and the clutch had slipped once or twice before it went so i was sure the clutch had failed and when I looked underneath briefly before the braided hose looked fine.

At least it's an easy fix now but the car has been stood outside for so long it's needing a lot of TLC :(

Hi Chris,

 

You have missed nowt !!!!!

Stellaz is still tattooed and drunk and most of the Zeds are off the road !!!

 

Same old, same old really !!!:nana2::nana2:

 

Alan...........

As said above - you aint missed nowt - we're all boring :rofl: :rofl:

Well I guessed as much! LOL :tongue:

 

I think I stopped coming on here after I'd replaced every part on the Z at least once and didn't need to ask questions anymore :D

There was only so many times I could bear describing PTU failure and HICAS warning lights in cold weather to new members :rofl:

Good to have the silver spaceship and it's pilot back :bow::bow:

Just needs MOT, Tax, Insurance now and a fair bit of paintwork sorting :cry:

 

Doesn't look like the mortgage will be getting paid next month :rofl:

 

How's it going Steve? Been a while since we all met up :)

Fook me Chris, where you been. The gay spaceship is coming back:hyper:, bout time. All thats happend is few accidents, one theft i think and many breakdowns. Oh, and i got married;) so no more lonely nights in my tent. Im sure we can sort somthing out for the next meet LOL;):duffer:

Yeah! it's been too long mate. I haven't had the zed out since early last September. She's in the garage until 1st April. We'll have to get a get together sorted bud.

I'm expecting to see you at JAE this year Chris :D

Some people are just too fickle!! :D

LOL :rofl:

I should make it to a few shows this year but got to get the paint sorted first.

I scraped the side skirt a couple of years ago now and just sprayed it with a can to cover it up until I got it professionally done. Then I fitted the Border bonnet and that needs painting too. Few other bits of rust and scrapes too so almost a full spray job.

Hopefully it will be all done for summer :)

oh no thats made me think.... .Got to protect my braided clutch line from rubbing oops....

 

Mine must have only done a couple of thousand miles on the car and I'm shocked it could wear through so easy. It had only just touched the edge of the oil filter but managed to go through the braiding and it looked fine until I pumped the pedal a few times and spotted a very tiny amount of fluid appear.

Leaking just enough to get air in the system and stop it working.

Still not sure if there might be another problem with the clutch as it started to slip once or twice on full boost just before it failed but we'll see when the new hose arrives this week :hyper:

What's with all this marriage going on??? Congrats mate.

Maybe I should think about it myself after a respray, standalone engine management, remap etc LOL

 

And yes, sharing your wife at the next meet would be great :rofl: :nana2:

Welcome back Chris.

You'll come to regret all three! LOL

I disappear for a while and everyone goes all sensible and grown up.

What's the Z world coming to??? :D

ah if it started slipping then its most prop not engaging fully due to air inside so its slipperooing. Although mine was slipping when i first fit it (rps max that is) just needed adjusting on the pedal.

New hose arrived today so got under the car and covered in clutch fluid only to find it's the wrong bloody part they've sent! :mac1:

 

I now remember why I gave up on the Z for a year :rofl:

Just

noticed
