air flow meter failing causing my z to cut out. thats it really apart from the ususal warn bushes etc you expect to find on a 15 year old car. oh and my power steering is a little irratic somthing im going to sort this year.

welcome to the club dude. its better to buy one from here cos you know what the history is. and if youre getting one from fleabay, halve the stated horsepower!! :rolleyes:

Hi and welcome, if you ask anyone on here they all have their own horror stories to tell, but thats individuel cars and not the zed as a whole so its no reflection of the reliability of the cars to be honest, most common problems are electrical as the electrics are getting on a bit now. My own horror story is 1 of the turbo's seizing up which is an engine out job im afraid, some of the other problems myself and other owners have had are self inflicted by modding. Buy a good well looked after car, maintain it properly especially turbo models plenty of oil changes and it will give you miles of enjoyment

Welcome to the nut house.

 

I don't really have any horror stories about my Z. (touches wood)

 

The only real problem I have had was that the doors somehow locked the other day with hte keys in the ignition and no spare.

 

I got mine off fleabay but it sems that I might have been lucky and got a fairly good one.

 

One of the first jobs I had done was the cam belt and a service.

 

One of the main problems I would say is the front suspension. The tyres on the front had worn on the inside very badly so hd a 4 wheel alignment done and set up properly. I assumed the car had been lowered but it turned out that it hadn't.

 

Just a thing o look out for when looking at Z's.

 

Take your time looking and hopefully you will find a good one.
