...if you pulled in front of me (red NA) last night about 6pm you've either got a petrol leak or your car is running extremy rich. There was a noticeable smell of petrol.

 

..good luck

i live near ipswich,but at the moment its in garage with leaky clutch,and its a red na...maybe someone nicked it|!! you live around ipswich area?

...just outside Ipswich in Bramford - use the car every day - have done for nearly 4 years now. The Z last night dropped down from the sliproad near the Orwell Bridge and slotted infront of me in the outside lane. It had a high rear spoiler and what looked like half round rear lights - looked great.

 

I followed him? for about 2 miles wondering why all of a sudden (as soon as he appeared) there was a real smell of petrol - and as I pulled off to Sproughton, the smell dissapeared.

 

Tell you what - I'd be really interested in trying a manual - mines auto. Any chance we can organise that?

 

cheerz

yer that would be good,shes a manual but not a tt im afraid,hopefully the clutch should be sorted by next weekend,then we can sort sumfin out,yours isnt a blackish one by any chance,saw one in tescos in stow a couple of months back

...the only colour there is (apart from yellow) ie red. It's about 5 different shades. Its undoubtedly crash damaged in Japan - I think one side's had major work done on it. It meant that when I bought it it looked like new - not a single stone chip on the windscreen etc etc - but in the 4 years I've had it the respray is showing it's age, the rear spoiler needs ripping off. It looks like a tt cos it's got a tt front and spoiler.

 

Let me know when you are back on the road - it might be time for a change soon and I'm interested in trying a na manual as the next option. Don't think I can afford to run a tt - sat there waiting for the box and the turbo seals to go pop, and paying for all that fuel...

I live right outside Bury St. Edmunds. What garage do you take your Zeds to. If you see a black Zed on the A14 with dual HKS exhaust, gimme a honk..

just off Valley Road here, Red 2+2 N/A would love to find a local garage i can trust any ideas? As soon as I can will post some pics, newly imported and im well chuffed .....:rofl:

Hi suffolkzx

but is your Z the Z smelling of petrol?

just a reminder, glad you like your Z

Reds fastest! NA or TT theres a difference :)

Arthur

nope not me lol, got a few pictures from the advert for my car so will post them if someone can tell me how

Ok then

has anyone past a burnt out Z around Ipswich latley?

In Thetford there is a garage called Autopoint. Ray, the owner, is probably the most hands-on Zed guy that I can think of in the area. Here's his number 01842 766226 Tell him Will sent ya. ; ) I can't say he's read the Zed manual from start to finish but he has years of Zed issues under his belt.

...there's a guy on Bramford Road - Bramford Motor Engineering - he's done a friends TT a few times. Very concientious and not expensive. Anyway - if you've go a NA it won't need to go in a garage.

 

...we'll have to organise a Suffolk meet. Any ideas?
