dont you just love the winter cold and the return of the waft of petrol that only a z can give.........as much as you can tighten every single jubilee clip under the bonnet you know it wont make the slightest diffrence muhahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaha

Incredible you say that Tooley, I just noticed a strong petrol smell in my Zed yesterday!!!. Looks like it's jubilee clip time for me this weekend.

 

Seez ya!!

Yep me too. Smell of petrol for the first 5 mins of driving. Must be the fasionable thing

Throw all them rubber pipes away,and replace them with ss braided.I did and the smell of petrol will be sorted.The motor gets that hot

the rubber pipes perish!What a fu**ing crap

design!!!

 

------------------

But don't the SS braided still have the same rubber inside to perish?

Yes if you buy rubber ones, but the braided

protects the rubber from the heat.They are also available in teflon.

 

------------------

I must say my Zed was making some noises and emitting some gassy smells that normally not there in warmer weather

Still these crusty old supercars need a little warming up these cold mornings....

Bless 'em

I got myself special high temp rubber hoses, cause of those problems.

They are not SS braided though.

They are still nice and soft, after one season.

Should hold better than the ordinary ones.
