just been down to zedworld jeff found the problem almost strait away so thankyou to him!

 

Car sounds like a blowing piece of crap! gonna cost £650+ vat to change the bloody gasket! what a night mare engine has to be dropped to get to it!

gutted :(

 

It might be worth getting the turbos replaced as well and a full service??

i know but had the engine swapped out in dec 2007! so even more gutted!

The joys of zed ownership!

manifold to head gasket or the manifold to turbo gasket mate that is blown?

Exhaust manifold to head.

When I first bought my Z back in 2000, the NS manifold was blowing a bit. It was only after doing my first engine rebuild that the cause was found: It was a badly skimmed manifold 'face'. (There was about 0.5mm warp). £30 down the local engine shop for a re-face and problem solved!

just crap really should not have gone been nowhere!
