Well after being laid up for a few days with some kind of super man flu :lol:

 

I've just taken the zed out for a few miles to see what was what. Drove lovely, seems quite lumpy and hesitant for a couple of minutes and then all is well. One thing which did concern me slightly was the temp gauge slowly rising and it did go all the way up. I turned the hot air on and it only blew cold for a couple of minutes, then it got hot and the temp gauge dropped back to normal and remained normal after I turned the blowers off. Almost as if there was a blockage in the cooling system perhaps? Speedo doesn't work. And then there's the advisory notices from the mot

 

Nearside Front Tie bar/rod rubber bush deteriorated but not resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)

Offside Front Tie bar/rod rubber bush deteriorated but not resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)

Nearside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive tie bar front cross member (2.4.A.3)

Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive tie bar front cross member (2.4.A.3)

Play in steering rack inner joint(s) rear steering rack ()

Nearside Rear Track rod end ball joint dust cover deteriorated, but preventing the ingress of dirt rear steering rack (2.2.C.1c)

Offside Rear Track rod end ball joint dust cover deteriorated, but preventing the ingress of dirt rear steering rack (2.2.C.1c)

 

Nothing too serious as it stands.

 

The rear pads are low too and I'm suprised they weren't on the advisory notice.

 

Anyone have a clue about the temp gauge issue?

Sounds like an air lock in the coolant system?

My thoughts too. Will have a play around tomorrow.
