Had my Z 3yrs now & luckily not had many probs with it. I'm thinking of doing some cosmetic work in summer (respray etc) but before I do that wanted to make sure it's mechanically sound. Want to get some new roof rubbers for it as well so was thinking of combining it all into one trip to zedworld / zcentre or similar. Just wanted advise on what's recommended to get checked out? I don't have any problems with it, runs smooth etc but just want to make sure it's all ship shape before I make it look pretty.

 

I was thinking of starting with a compression test.. any suggestions??

Compression test is good, some other things you could check though like thermostat, coolant condition, belts, plugs, coil packs etc + ptu also if it's an earlier model

The belts have been done, Cambelt & water pump I know were changed before I got it, I had the ancillary belts changed 2 summers ago so they should be cool. Spark plugs were changed to NGK's on purchase (don't know how often you're supposed to change them though), the rest of the stuff sounds good though. I'll add them to the list.

 

Cheers Chris

 

Any other suggestions welcome :balloon:

That's just what i could think off quickly lol, there is prob allot of other stuff you could check but may be worth concentrating on one set area first, oh and how many mls has it done since the plugs where changed and is it used daily?

Ok so looked over some mot's It's been 4yrs & roughly 10k milles since the sparkies were changed & no it's not a daily driver. Mostly it's just a summer runner but occationally I'll take it to work.

i'd whipp em out mate and see what there like !

mate, as your in london you are nearerest z experts are d2. will be worth popping down there and getting a complete checkover. darren knows exactly what to check as he has repaired and maintained them from new :thumbup:

one trip you want somebody that can cater for all your needs then mechcanics/bodywork i think zed wolrd as you suggested is the place

I've never heard of this d2 yassa, where abouts are they... would save me a few bob on travel!!
