Ok, so my Z seems to be fixing itself - and it's getting a bit weird now!

 

Firstly, the prop shaft vibration seems to have disappeared after the car had stood for 6 weeks, but that might just be me - and it'll more than likely come back.

 

But the next two things are odd:-

 

I went to move the car a while back and the brake pedal dropped to the floor. I very carefully drove it around for a bit but nothing changed. We came to the conclusion that the master cylinder was shot so I started looking for a replacement. Work wasn't going too well so I decided to shelve the car again for a bit. Until last week. I had a car in for valeting (I help a mate out who owns a resto company) which had a flat battery and I needed to move it. It was parked right next to the Z so I jumpstarted it and duly moved it into my wash bay (a.k.a. the flat bit on me drive :D ). Sat back in the Z to switch it off and just sat in it for a moment, wishing I could go for a spin, and rested my foot on the brake - which was back to normal! Took it round the block - no problems whatsoever. I have been driving it every day since and it is spot on, like nothing ever happened. Odd.

 

Also, a while ago I helped Bantambunny with a bit of polishing on the 600ZX, and to sa 'Ta' he gave me an old reverse light centre panel to replace my badly cracked unit. I swapped that over at the weekend and thought 'That looks better, shame the lights are a bit cracked too'. I didn't worry too much as I'll be changing the lights altogether when I do my resto and they're not bad really. I decided to give it a quick once over yesterday before I popped to town and I stood behind the car feeling quite spooked. The rear lights now have no cracks in them. None at all. They look as good as new.

 

 

Bizarre!

 

 

Or perhaps I'm just going nuts. Well, more nuts than I already was. Wibble.

 

 

Do you think if I leave it long enough it will repair the dent in the door and respray itself? :online2long:

that's great, just don't cheat on it with another car, wish mine would fix its self lol

They do fix themselfs my digital clock fixed itself and they do things by themselfs to one day I went to get in the zed and the drivers seat was set as far forward as it would go:w00t:

You only need to start worrying when the odemeter starts going backwards, and the radio starts playing relevant songs of its own free will:yes:

and it starts murdering people :death:

Maybe its travelling back in time? It's when it repairs itself to showroom condition that u need to worry... If it carries on from there it'll start dismantling itself as per the production line! You'll go out to find a pile of parts.

Not meaning to pee on your happiness, But.

My pedal did that and I started to think 'air bubble' or did I imagine it to be so bad, so I ignored it thinking 'lovely job-fixed itself' Then i turned out onto the A1 into traffic at 70...ish :whistling: and had no brakes.nada.zip.Dip diddly.

I seriously debated jumping out or running off road and ditching it if anything was going to be in the way suddenly.You have a quite a while to think at that speed :scared:

Thankfully a layby appeared and by killing the engine(then turning ignition to position 1 to stop lock coming on) and the handbrake being furiously pulled up and banging the kerb we stopped.

The AA then a Zedworld good one got me rolling again, but it still took a while to really trust it again :winkiss:

Does it communicate to you via the radio too?

So what was it then BigSimon? Was it your BMC? If it was I have managed to get one off eBay for a fiver, just in case.

 

It's been spot on for over a week now, no trouble whatsoever. How long did it take for yours to go again?

lol. I can understand the mechanics suddenly being ok. I've had a few cars where i've booked them into the garage and they've suddenly had "doctors syndrome" and the fault disappeared after they were booked in.

 

The rear lights though........weird?

 

You sure it wasn't just a few horse hairs or bits of muck which have washed off in the rain? :)
