Only after switching on my car and theres a small ratle coming from the very top of the engine i think it comes from the area of the valves.

anyone can help trying to diagnose this and need to know if its drivable as im 50miles away from home.

thanks in advance.

off road fook it! will save to fix it eventually!

will let know the outcome of rac once they decide to come!

thanks for advice everyone!

If its lifters then its nearly always solved with some lifter treatment and an oil change.

 

now your talking mate! that would be good news!

can you use that will any type of oil?

 

dan.:D

I used wynn's hydraulic valve treatment from memory? not expensive, and dropped it after 3000,mls !! :)

 

Maybe worth a try if it seems to be pointing towards the lifters

It certainly done the trick on mine, but the lifter's where not excessively noisy, it had just been standing a short while

 

hope you get the issue sorted though mate ;)

lets hope so still waiting on rac believe it or not! another 60min! :rant:

well left the car in cookstown think it will be off the road for a while! back to walking and get fit lol its not even funny really..

RAC guy also wreckons its hy valve lifters so not to sure what to do it will still be up to £600 (parts and labour) to get it fixed id say?

Will give it a try to change oil and do the hy lifter treatment but i guess the problem will still be there it will only cover it for a while.

Its a common issue with Z's , many are driving around with noisy lifters but I've seen lifter treatment permanently solve plenty of noisy top ends.

As legrath said, try the valve lifter treatment and maybe a couple of oil change's in reasonably quick succession ,

well it wasent the valves after all.. but the crank is good so its just shells need fix or maybe a locosoil or whatever it is called treatment.

will get it fixed but my heart is not with this car anymore so it will go after its fixed and if i cant sell it for the price im looking will problaly swap it or brake it and with the money get another one.

honestly believe the ferking car is cursed!

will be buying another zed for sure but this one cant even look at it anymore!

its like cheated on me over and over again and i have a forgive her but this time i dont!

some times you can get a car that gives you nothing but bother and a zed that always plays up is a money pit thats why when you buy one of these you have to get a good one. I agree with you Nelson that its time to say goodbuy to this zed as your heart is not with it any more and a new and fitter young model will put a smile back to your face;)

Well thats the plan Gary!

should be ready this week end so goin up for sale on monday or trade but most people in northern ireland run from 300s as they are the devil so it will be a very hard sell or trade lol
