Cheers for that Alan....but there is a twist.......i fookin stripped a wheel stud and the nuts turning on the nsf wheel......but the main thing is the oil leaks....ok for now thank donald duck.....just got the gearbox sump to drop and change the filter/flush the oil then a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. Cheers.....John

The stock wheels are in the hut for now.....probably where I am gonna end up....but thats another story. Women are a nightmare when it comes to cars one day they like next day they hate......ahh well gotta get into tiling mode now....brownie points i guess. Cheers guys

Woohoooo timing belt/cam seals done....no leaks....yet :smash: .....Anyways got a set of 18' Wheelmania Vortex from Omar (Sandy)......finally fitted.........am kinda worried as even my wife likes them.....she fookin hates the zed......enough warbling....... Cheers John Crisp

No worries guys thanks for the replies.

Cheers mate Does that mean they are blocking bids or something like that? Cheers John

I have been selling bits-n-bobs on ebay partly so I can spend money on the zed but one thing I have noticed is that when I have a few people interested in some things I have, when someone has a highest bid they put in another bid of the same amount. What does that mean, are they blocking other bids? Any info welcome. Cheers John Crisp

Cheers Greg

Greg The gear came off no worries but the seal was a PITA to remove. Had to file a lip on my pound shop plain screwdriver and then lightly belted it and it fell oot 1st time but thats life also. Cheers John

The crank seal I removed look exactly the same as cam seals that I have removed from the engine. Cheers John Crisp

The seal I have is 13042-16VOO and is marked Seal-Oil Camshaft but I just spent ages getting the crank seal oot and they look very similar. Cheers John Crisp

4 minutes and a reply. Cheers Ollie.

Hopefully not hoping to piss anyone off who had problems getting the crank gear off........mine fell off in me hand without even a screwdriver. It aint loose as in wobbling about but it wasnt tight....... Cheers for all the replies John :shock:

Are the camshaft seals the same part number as the front crankshaft seals on a 1993 UK Zed. Can anyone confirm this for me. Cheers John Crisp

Did I not post words to that effect in my reply to your post about getting another car and put the zed on classic...............Amazing. Glad u decided to keep the car. Cheers John Crisp

Cheers for the replies. I was gonna try and maybee gently heat the gear first, hopefully that'll loosen it a bit.But I have noticed the washer at the back of the gear is loose so I am thinking the gear has sprung away a bit. Will update as soon as I get it off. Cheers John Crisp

Cheers for that Mike.

Cheers for the replies guys. Would I be right in saying there is a thin washer behind the gear. Cheers John Crisp

Aint it great being a Zed owner and having to repair oil leaks....again. Cam seals have been changed about 8k miles (3 years ago). The oil looked like it was coming from the front crank seal area but could have come from higher up. I have a new crank seal, what kinda job is it getting the gear off the crank, is it better to gently heat the gear or is it a PITA job. As can be seen in the pics cars in bits anyway. Cheers John Crisp

Buy a diesel cheap puddlejumper and keep the zed, put it on classic ins, use it at weekends. I have had no ends grief/faults/breakdowns with my 1993 zed and you get there in the end. I'd say dont sell. Just my opinion bud but its your call. ATB John Crisp

I just bought a new filter/gasket etc from MJP in the traders section, for both its 51 quid plus vat plus delivery. Cheers John Crisp

Mine had a similar problem cut out on way home from work, wouldnt but eventually did start, then chucked it twice again till I got home then wouldnt start. Was soo pissed off I left it for 2 days turned the key and it kicked into life. I bought a brand new S2 PTU from Courtesy Nissan in USA but ya gotta add import tax on which puts the price up a bit but nowhere near what Nissan were charging in this country. Here is a link to Courtesy for the PTU: http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CP&Product_Code=22020-00Z32 Hope this helps Cheers John Crisp

No worries.....will update it. I dont wanna break it as the car is off the road then and her indoors needs it for work. Cheers

Wife has been complaining about smell of fuel inside car since it was serviced on Thursday, found fuel pi**ing from the black housing on the top of the engine. I am guessing this is the filter, I think the rocket that changed the filter has overtightened the lid, am I right in saying it twists off as I have tried to loosen it and its solid....just in case I break anything. The lid I am thinking has the green plug connected to it in the picture. The car is an 03 plate 2.0 HDi. Cheers John Crisp

Its not just a bearing, it comes with the carrier as well. I think I paid about a ton for one a few years back from Brown Brothers, cheapest place I could find. Cheers John Crisp

Simon could you let me know how you get on. Cheers John Crisp
