Surely no-one's car is 'perfect'... so spill the beans and tell us all what problems your Z currently has - big or small :cursing::cursing:

 

Do not include servicing and basic maintenance, or bodywork issues.

 

We may even be able to help each other if someone has a problem that you've had before, or vice versa.

 

Currently - my gearbox is whining and making funny crunching noises occasionally... I have a replacement sat in the garage along with a Z1 Lightweight Flywheel & Exedy Paddle Clutch ;)

 

My car 'winks' when you flash the headlights, so that needs sorting (bulb is ok) ;)

 

Central locking doesn't unlock the passenger door, but it does have an old clifford alarm that I think came off Noah's Ark :sleep:

Bumper needs re-aligning.

 

Every now and again it sometimes holds back at low throttle settings (once a month maybe!). Not sure what it is, I think its a lazy O2 sensor. If you prod the throttle its then fine. Most weird, (im begining to think its my driving style that does it as my old one did the exact same thing!)

 

Its wrong because it needs 99 spec rear lights (have 99 centre panel to fit tho!)

 

Also need to get on with the interior retrim!

Bit like Jimmy not much wrong :tt2:

I do want now at my leisure some SMIC's and larger injectors, but not in any great rush, oh it could do with vaccing out!!!! :winkiss:

Still not finished the car starting to give up now

Have removed high level rear spolier, and side skirts, going smooth all over. new n/s wheel arch to be welded in. then a bit of paint.

apart from that the everything else superb. runs perfect.

I have a mondeo!!! need i say anymore than that? lol

does no one use evostick for interior re-trimming??? Or is the material too thin!

 

i used that stuff and found when it got a little warm during the day it would go gloopy and the material would sag in un-supported areas :sad:

Nothing except its half Bayside Blue and Half Grey Primer, and has been for about 18months

Drivers side window won't work and I replaced the window regulator so its not that.

Heater Matrix to be fitted.

Occassional issue with front indicator in that it doesn't work from time to time. I cleaned the bulb holder to give a good earth but it didn't rectify the issue.Must be a loose cable somewhere, and I think it may be under the wheel arch, as when I went at the side indicator lights to check for the connections to replace the carrots with the clear lenses, the problem has started to happen less frequently.

Right here goes.....

 

AirCon dont work - Being Removed

Drivers door lock dont work.

Dissintegrated rear brake lines - Due to rust

Need to complete Plenum water bypass

Fit new rad and pipes

Finish removing AIV, EGR, C. Canister etc

Think thats it thank god LOL

heater matrix bypass, thats all:D!

major oil leaks, doesnt idle doesnt pull, runs on all cylinders now but sounds like death. pas lines leaking, sitting on stilts, no tax no mot. currently booked in with zedworld for the 6th to get it all sorted :D hello loan

both outer sills rotten

diff leaking

rust over the rear right arch

rust under fuel filler

water leak under plenum leaking onto coilpack 3 causing it to missfire occasionally

tension rod bushes slightly worn

badly curbed nearside front alloy

filthy engine

reverse lights work when they feel like it

paint peeling off rear bumper

no fan cover as that jumped into the fan on the way home from buying the car

stinks of petrol some times

tear in drivers seat.

 

thats about it i think

still got a resistor bodged instead of the knock sensor. other than that i don't think anything actually "needs" doing to it.

it would be easier to ask what's right with mine, ...

 

no-rust, but everything else is fubar'ed :nuke:

Hey Rob,

 

That lot is gonna cost you lol.

 

Will you be doing all the work yourself mate ?, i hope you got it for a good price considering all that has to be done.

 

Cheerz

 

Chris

rear springs not sat on their seats properly due to hump back bridge, stupid rediculous un-needed nothing but hassle poxy hicas needs replacing wih a non moving hicas!!!

 

Horn stopped working halfway through beeping at someone. and, need to get the decats. then its ready to mot when i can be bothered

Diff cooler leak but will prob bypass it with some copper pipe and a couple of jubilee clips

Drivers rear arch bubbling

Slight boost leak on passenger turbo intake

power steering fluid leak, somewhere? i need to get it sorted rather than just keeping it topped up.

other than that for a car with 138,000 miles on original engine AND turbos it goes very well,

my vert doesn't have turbos

The shocks are shocking!!

mine was doing this until recently . i put a new fuel filter in and touch wood it aint done it since .

Whats fooking right with it and who wants to buy it :lol:

Hmmm!

 

Well, when I bought mine, I knew there was a list of things that'd need attention and some 'nice to haves' that I'd planned on 'working' through gradually but I seem to be perpetually running round trying to fix the things that are breaking that I didn't mitigate for.

 

It's currently sat in my office car park in Surrey leaking most of it's fluids on the ground. Coolant leak from the rear of the engine, fuel leak from somewhere, (stinks!), and a PAS fluid leak to boot.

 

Got a man with a spanner coming to have a look at it tomorrow. He was meant to do it on Friday, but when he arrived he drew air through his teeth and admitted he got it mixed up with a 200SX and would need more time.

 

(I strongly suspect there was a 'Kerching!' in there somewhere!! :cry: )
