Hey,

 

Just got the z back from the test centre,

 

Shes Failed on a Few things:

 

001...front windscreen wipers not working-Cured this with new 15A fuse

 

002offside rear tyre-ive got one just needs fitting

 

Rear brake pads down to the metal-need some more goes without saying, prob why the handbrake dont work and the lights on

 

all front to rears brake pipes need changing as corroded-this is the biggy,dont know where to start with this one tbh

 

offside front body chassis has excessive corrosion-this is the other biggy, i dont have a welder or any scap bits of steal to sort this, testers marked it in chalk for me though.gonna have toring around see if i can get it welded cheap

 

and thats it!

 

im fairly happy with this actually, was expecting worse, the traking needs doin as its pulling to the right pretty bad, and all the wheels need balencing cos ive got a wobble, the LIGHTS light on the dash is on for some reason, expect its sumin to do with the wiring i did for the lights, and he said the emisions wernt great but i expect thats prob the JWT chip.

 

so....anyone anygood with the welder? lol or know where i can get it done fairly cheap and somepoint early this week....im hoping to make it to fridays meeting :D

 

 

Any help and Advice Really appreciated as Always,

thanks In Advance

Rear brake pipes can be a pain, tip though, no need to remove the subframe just remove the diff, picuture below of one we done some time ago shows the access with the diff removed, neatness is the key, the original fixings need to be reused so the tester can see they are all secure.

Thanks Jeff, handy tip that one, we'll have a look tomorrow to see how bad things are.

Here is another one we did, you can see how bad the original pipes were, again removal of the diff was enough, a few pipes do need to be threaded through to get them in, draw a small diagram to remind yourself where each pipes goes before you remove them, and remember the whole system needs bleeding, starting with the ABS module first.

if uve got a compessor and sumwhere to do it id be more than happy to mate

Lol, its the space thats my issue lol, last time i sprayed i did it in the kitchen lol! the mrs went psycho lol!

i bet she did lol. i could do it outside as long as its not raining or really humid, then we can just cut n buff the flies out after lol. just need sumwhere to let it dry, is the bumper on the car?

no m8, it is orf lol. im pretty sure i could do it, just a bit of an ammature for spraying, i can do little bits, but a whole bumper may be beyonde my skills lol

lol. what are you doing it with? a spray gun or a rattle can. whatever you decide to do, if you get stuck or want help just let me know. its fairly straight forward if youve got patience and a keen eye for detail lol.
