Hello, hello everyone. I trust everyone is doing well and enjoying the weather :D I haven't been active online as much, just been busy with work and other commitments and other life responsibilities haha. Cant remember when was the last time I posted anything!! Over all I've been ok.

 

On the other hand my poor z hasn't had such a good time. A while back someone decided to help themselves to my alloys, stereo and subwoofer. They smashed both left side windows and the rear glass. The same was done with another two of my cars. This all happened when I was away in the states. I was renting a yard and left it with a family member as he was going to be using it also. :thumbdown:

 

Long story short I lost 2 cars and a z with more work to be done. When I was told about it I had some wheels sourced and towed the z to a garage. It's been parked there for quite some time now.

 

I spent the good part of this saturday checking for faults and what I've found are.

 

*clutch does not engage

*hard to put into 5th and reverse gear (engine off)

*hissing sound form ignition coil 2

*suspected leak from rocker cover n.s

 

Ive bled to clutch and still nothing. From the bottom. Do I need to replace the slave cylinder or is there something else? It goes into gear when the car is off. Pressing the clutch does nothing with engine on or off. This is the main concern.

 

Secondly the transmission. This problem has occurred after the smash and grab. The z was on its frame. Im not sure how they managed to get the jack out with no rims on the car. I'm sure this has caused the issues with the transmission and clutch and now I need to get it back to glory.

 

She starts and everything seems to be working but can't be certain until I start driving it.

 

Any advice and help will be much appreciated.

 

Thank you.

What a nightmare sorry to hear that. I take it was all working when left, was the jack near the gearbox.

Yup was running fine. Body work just needed doing. Doubt they had the jack that far in. Never come across an issue like this. I think the tranny is shot but where the car is now he thinks its the slave cylinder .
