Is this added cost from the imports authority in the uk? They charge you on the amount the company insure the goods for shipping. You can phone them up and quiery the charge. Have you already paid? I ordered some prints from USA cost £40. when they delivered them to me the importers wanted to charge me £233!FFS took me 2 months to get my prints with nothing to pay in the end Arthur

Hi Thanet I did 23000 miles first year of ownership with no probs. If like some I had only driven the Z at W/ends & done 3/4K a year that would equal over 5 years trouble free car. Since this was one & a half years ago, I have now got bills over £6K!!! Recon autobox New engine/rad/brakes,pads & discs, even the tyres wear out fast! I aint no mechanic too boot! Arthur

Ive not seen one yet around Folkestone or A20 or M20 or A1 or M25. But when I do I know I can beat it!! Arthur

Hi If the sump has been dented & pushed up, which it looks like from the pics best not drive car and change sump. You can definately take sump off without taking engine out. When my engine developed a problem (big end knock) the chaps at the garage dropped the sump! Saw it with my own two eyes. Arthur

Hi tuberider So you had your Z as an insurance rightoff for a smashed windscreen! Wicked man! let me know the insurance company, just going to smash my screen get it wrote off, then buy it back!! Arthur

Hi Mark S, At least if the engine turning over then definately not siezed, thats good! Maybe not totally engine trouble free but a good sign! Hi Mark, my Z will do 150 just scares me what other drivers do! Arthur

First pipes to check would be the two matrix hoses at the back of the engine & bulkhead. These maybe in the wrong area but are the easy ones to see! After that looking further down at turbo hoses or back of engine. These are a mix of metal & rubber hoses. Other thing if you cannot see it when engine running & hot you will need a compression test on water system. Hope it helps

Eddie That is a great price. I paid more than double that! Arthur

I paid more for rear shim kit than the front shim kit! Rear kit cost me £42 front kit about £32 A bit peeved as the rear pads only cost me £27! Arthur

Hi Mike In that case give Jeff a call at Z World sure he will help where are the technical guys when needed the most?! Arthur

Hi Front ones are very easy to get off & replace. Any local engineers will press out and replace your fronts for £10. Unless you have a fly press at hand. Dont know what the other ones are like! Arthur

Hi Mike I have just looked at the manwell This is what it lists 1. Remove oil filter & bracket 2. Remove engine rear gussets both sides, looks like a shield in the manual. 3. Disconnect A/C tube clamps 4. Disconnect steering column lower joint ect ect Dont know if that helps, do you not have CD manual from Z centre? Arthur
