Went for a drive down to lincoln to go pick up my new engine rear cover from gonzos. All has been ok(ish) over the last 900miles ive done since putting car back on the road.

On way home i got about 10mile from lincoln when i see steam coming out from bonnet and i think the dreaded noooooooo.

Turns out the turbo waterfeed hose had split and to try and get to and repair at roadside is not a good thing.

Luckily after making a couple of calls i had some help with people bringing me some tools(thankyou gonzo) and water in bottles from my friend mark.

 

3hrs later from seeing the steam it was all fixed and back on the way home again.

Alll i can say is although it was annoying breaking down ,i am howether happy that it was only something small and the z lives to keep going.

I had to do that when i was on holliday. the drivers side pita isnt it.

 

Had to buy some fuel pipe. long nose pliers and a small socket set. was on the 2nd day aswell grrrrrrrrrr

Glad you got it sorted dave :)

 

i had a bit of a moment the other day, the old girl stuttered twice and the engine management light came on and she ran like a bag of crap.....turned out to be a loose connection on the coolant temp sensor (cheers Lee :) ).

Glad you eventually got it sorted Dave, quite ironic as the chap that bought my truck got to the bottom of lincoln and had water pissing out, but that was probably an easier fix than yours lol :thumbup:

Who would own a zed hey always breaking down :)

... and fancy going out in a Z with no toolkit. :lol::lol:
