I was driving my zed today due to the wonderful weather (really enjoying it mind you). Going down a nice stretch of road. Car was perfect but all of a sudden the engine started to sound like a tractor and i quickly pulled over. Switched the car off and had a look, there was a massive trail of oil on the road were i been driving.... :censored:

 

 

I had a look at the engine bay and couldnt really see anything..so had a look underneath and massive puddle of engine oil!!!! one of the oil cooler pipes had burst putting my engine oil out on the road.. no words to describe the feeling i was having.

 

I called the aa and they recovered it for me to a garage were new engine oil was put in!! again! started the car up and it sounds normal but i am getting white smoke coming out from both exhausts and heavier smoke coming out during acceleration!!!!

 

I am guessing the worst some sort of potential engine damage???!!???!! she must have run a minute or so without engine oil!!

 

what could be the problem!??!

 

Cant believe this had to happen now!!! pissed off!! feel all the work i put into the car as gone to complete waste!!!

Lol, i think after this i really had enough of zed for now! i think ill finish my degree off get a full time job and then maybe think about getting a z and get a full rebuild so i get no issues!!!

 

I know its not ideal but think that's the sensible way forward, zeds are expensive to run, the only cheap way to own one is to never drive it hahaha.

Sorry to hear this mate gutted for you. Hope you get another zed soon.

Really sad for some reason to see her go today, but at the same time feel like a stone as been lifted off my shoulders too.. funny what zeds can do to ya!
