After finally putting the engine in, can only get a spark on cylinders 3 and 4, have put new set of plugs in, tried changing coil packs around but still no joy, engine starts fine but very lumpy, fuel is getting in ( as i can smell it) have checked all electrics, which seem fine, have checked wiring loom but no obvious breaks, ecu shows as all is okay. revs to max 2500rpm, but wont go any more, checked all pipes and repaired any that i found shagged. what else can it be, SWZ were helpfull, but ive done what they say, but still nothing, what have i missed as im starting to doubt myself now and getting close to 5 litres of fuel and a box of matches. HELP Stu

Red zed, TT manual, K714ROR, turned in front of White Servite Transit, into Hawthorn Road friday at 4.30pm, i nodded and you knodded back? very very tidy.

One tuesday early morning Silver A259 towards Littlehampton 9 ish in the morning and on wednesday, about 5 ish A259 Littlehampton going towards Bognor /climping, Black with Apexi stickers on wings and big exhausts, i was the nutter in the white transit van flashing u in the traffic.

Im up for this, not that far to travel, hopefully my bloody engine will be done by then. but its looking better everyday.

Im for a meet too,

Cheers to You UNO, no 1 for keeping the engine for me, and for providing nice cuppa tea, during the removal of the engine, for me and the lads. Basically ive now got UNO's engine, which due to the sad loss of his two tone zed, the engine will now have a new home in my zed. We started yesterday morning at just after 9.30am, a few cups of tea later, removal of the engine was completed by taking out the subframe and raising the body up. All the parts such as exhausts and gearbox are of the car. Total time from start to finish 2 hours 40 mins. Thanks mate, will pop over when running. Sussex Stu

Agree, if you dont back up the porn, you might loose it.

Grey of course, but blue does look good, Cant do red, looks okay if its an MX5. ha ha

Go to work !!!! lol

Ha Ha Ha so you both have nothing better to do then!!! lol

I chat to a few lads and lasses from here, but, how many people are from Sussex?? As i know there are 5 zeds, very local to me, but they are NOT members, i have given details of the club to them, but never heard anymore? i know one was a member, but there must be more!!!

Sounds like a small fuel problem, or possibly injectors???

Im here, SE/ but more SC, Worthing

Ive a got a New ford transit, live in West Sussex, just depends when you need some help as im stacked up with work for a while. if you need help PM me. and i will see what i can do. Stu

Day this week just before the snow, A259 towards Littlehampton from Bognor, might have seen a nutcase in a brand new white Transit, trying to pour a cup of coffee and flashing at the zed. Sorry yes it was me, Didnt recognise the car but modded.

Possible head gasket probs. Done the same to mine but in a far bigger way. One bit of advice i can give, if you suspect gasket failure after compression test, don try it and do it yourself, with the engine still in situ. TOTAL NIGHTMARE. U will wish u hadnt started it, easier taking the engine out and then do it, lots of bolts and pipes very awkward to get to. Give it to someone who has a good knowledge of these engines.

i havent stopped dri nking g for 3 days nowa, Mister Jack and his mates daniel have wellm and trullu joined in .lol

Lucky boy, New York at Cristmas, how cool is that, have a good one mate.

Cheers Bud. will add to the list . Stu

Stellaz, Any idea how much they cost him, as im getting the same done to mine?????

Christ i have way too many at the mom for that!!!!!!!!!!! Badgers and football. AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH :headvswal

Agree with Scrawni, if the levels are ok, then check the pipes are the same heat all the way along, as there might be an air lock, somewhere there should be a bleed screw, or the heater matrix is possilby on the way out. (Aisles you dont want that, as it might involve the dashboard coming out) Stu

First do the fronts, just behind wheels once you have one side up, if u have another jack or some blocks, put under the front end on the subframe, the solid metal bit frm wheel to wheel, when u lower the front back down, the suspension should be slightly raised (hopefully) if you try a trolley jack at the front, most zeds are a bit low on the front, its okay putting it up, when when u lower there is a chance the jack will get stuck. the rear is easier. Make sure you use the handbrake, and a decent jack

A mate has just sent this to me, now i cant stop bloody singing it. Good fun . :duffer: :duffer: http://humor.beecy.net/songs/yogi-bear-song/
