you may remember my silver zx with the bodykit on in the newbies section
anyway me and my dad are getting the zx ready for its MOT very soon.
There is a couple of things that are a nuisence
which are i believe is the thrust bearing ( its a manual zx) makes a noise when i engage the clutch, the clutch feels very heavy but works really well no slipping , its always felt heavy since weve had the car 14 months ago, but wen i engage the clutch the engine goes slightly quieter and when i lift the clutch back up even in nutruel say a inch or two it makes a weird "whirring" noise, which lasts a few seconds then goes away.
also when the car has been running a few minites it develops a creaking noise from the engine that doesnt really speed up when you rev the car, my dad (who was a mechanic 20 years) believes its a pulley catching , although he has a lot of experience fixing cars, mainly rover sd1's in the day lol he doesnt attempt messing with the zx as its more of a specialist thing i guess.
but yeh those things are the main things that are annoying and another thing is as the car has been standing on the drive for several months i drive it up and down the drive a few times to get it running the brake on front passenger makes a creaking noise but we are going to take the wheels off and check the brakes hopefully dont need new ones.
if anyone can help with these issues i woould greatly appriciate it
hope it passes the mot so i can drive it on the road my self so the 1st time !!
