HI All,

 

Since i got my Yellow Zed (N/A Auto) a few weeks ago i have been riddled with problem after problem,

 

- Wheel almost falling off due to 3 of 5 studs shearing

- Car not changing gear until it reaches 3500rpm (and jerking into second)

- Idliing at 1500rpm in park and just under 1000rpm in gear

- Blowers not working at all

- rumble under the car between around 45mph and 60mph (not wheel balance)

- Using waaay to much fuel (£40 is getting me roughly 80 miles)

 

 

Firstly, i'd like to make this point:

 

"I am Mechanically retarded"

 

I love these cars........love driving them.........love the look..........and although i can do bits of bodywork, custom installs (like the Ipad i built into my white Zed), I have almost no mechanical knowledge. I am usually afraid to try things myself for the fear of making it worse (has happened in the past) and as the car is my daily driver now to get to work and back, if i fudge something up, i'm stranded.

 

Although the only issue i have solved so far is the wheel stud issue, I would like to publically thank everyone who has offered help and advice. Lexx, Ted, JeffTT Funky si and everyone else who has input into my "help needed" threads.

 

Thank you all for being patient with me as i know it's sometimes hard to dumb things down to my level when you are as advanced as some of you guys are. The step by step guides that Jeff, Alex and Ted have sent me are a great starting point.

 

Even though i will most likely get a mechanic to do any repairs, they do not know these cars the way you all do and the help and guides offered on here will be a big help even for them to get the job done right.
