I had the same on my auto, turned out to be the left hand turbo/ exhaust gasket! Normally happened whilst accelerating from 1000rpm to 2000.

Looking forward to meeting you mate.

OK peeps, 12 Norwich Road, Hethersett, Norwich, Norfolk NR9 3DD at 1100. 11 o'clock the pub will be/should be open for those that require refreshments and a tiddle. A cup of tea for me.....obviously ;) With the finish of the meet being at Snetterton for some pictures, it might also be worth a visit to the countries biggest model shop for those who are interested. Apart from this the itinerary will be the same as in the original post. Any problems give me a shout, see you all there guys, safe journeys. Tony.

Be good to see you bud...........easy, drive it out the workshop and join us,lol!

Welcome to the Forum mate. Everything you need is here to get you and your Zed on the road. I live in a little village called Barnham about 30 miles west of Ipswich. If there is anything I can help with give me a shout. If you are about on the 1st of June the East Anglia Region are getting together for a meet. You are quite welcome to join us in whatever vehicle you have and you will be able to see some other Zeds and meet some of us 'Oorrible lot'!! If you would rather drive to my house and hitch a lift you are more than welcome mate. Take care, Tony

Cheers Russ, it's about time you had a little 'Lady Luck' come your way. Hope you get it sorted mate.

That is an amazing price by no stretch of the imagination. £375 is one days labour at least. Brilliant deal there mate and you have done well for that total cost. Now go and enjoy!!

13 members have posted in the EA members thread but there are more about......somewhere?? Not the busiest region guys but we can still get together in small numbers.

Hope the operation goes well mate and maybe we will see you and the beast! Keep me informed fella. Take care.

Looking good there Ted!! Very good! Looking forward to seeing it soon in the flesh. Best pull my finger out and slam my car and get my 19's on. Can't have you getting all the attention now can we. Your very brave putting a thread on the site mate; if your missus spots it she will have your balls, ha ha!

Don't use any coolant hole blocking treatment mate. For some it temporary provides a fix and for others can completely bugger the ways system. You now know what it is mate, get a wanted thread open and fix it with a replacement.

Be good to meet you mate, with or without the Zed.

Nice one Steve. Now you have an excuse to clean those lovely wheels mate, ha ha.

Glad I can count on you mate, cheers. Now we just need to get a few more...! Come on guys.

Good to hear mate, go for it! Too many Zeds get scrapped when the 'going gets tough'! Thanks for the comments on the meets, I'd be doing loads more if I didn't work I Anglesey so the same as you mate, I will be back! If you need anything mate give me a shout, 2 heads are better than 1, I think lol. Keep us updated with your project. Cheers, Tony.

Too many working weekends mate, you gonna have to take a break,lol. I know what its like matey, I used to work in the same business and for some reason changed to one where weekends are also few and far between. Maybe next time mate.

Guy's After the relative success of the mini meet we had at the beginning of the month, the next event will take place at the Queens Head, 12 Norwich Road, Hethersett, Norwich, Norfolk NR9 3DD. After a quick drink of water and a packet of crisps and a chin wag, we will travel in a sensible convoy, driving toward what is rated as one of the best driving roads in our region the B1113. On our way we will drive through the sleepy town of Wymondham, past the lotus factory and some lovely scenic roads. We will eventually pop out on the A11 near Snetterton where there is a lovely pub and beer garden so we can stock up on some calories. Hopefully there are a few who can attend because we could use the opportunity to discuss the next event; I know Ted has a few ideas up his sleeve and I would welcome any of yours. From there Snetterton is on our doorstep and will make a good backdrop for some pictures (bring your cameras) and a video that I'll put together and make some copies for you. This could be a nice day out for all weather permitting, so if you fancy bringing partners/family, let us know on here if you intend to do so, that way we all know the consensus of the group. Failing that........boys with toys! Any other thoughts/ideas feel free to add. Be good to see you again and maybe some other faces.

Look at my reply to DazVerts' No 4 cylinder issue, sounds like what I had especially if you moved the loom and it went away.

Sounds like a nightmare mate but to be honest is not as bad as you think. It also allows you to very quickly quickly ascertain the condition of the loom. Its also a good excuse to tidy up the wiring. Get a volt meter on the Coil pack connector and check for signaling voltage. Do the same on a working connector to recognise differences. Hope you sort it mate.

Daz, I had this same problem, twice a few years back. I swapped everything with known good working items and the non firing issued remained. To cut a very long story short, I ended up opening the whole loom, ECU to PTU to Coil pack connector. Lo and behold the first issue was an easy spot! The –‘ve small wire from the coil pack loom had a tiny fracture and split. Somehow this loom would return the signal to the PTU when cold but as the engine and loom got hot, the signal was lost and I had no spark. The second was a little more complicated but turned out to be a similar issue. A few months later the same happened but this time on the dreaded No 6 cylinder! Again I swapped out all items for known working ones……no joy! AlanZ off here then joined me and we swapped out ECU’s both worked on his car but not on mine….ummmm??? It was time to open up the nicely and recently re-loomed wires! This time I had a small amount of insulation missing off one of the –‘ve wires from the ECU this was shorting off the metal frame that the ECU is bolted to in the footwell. So, my issue…..Brittle Wire Disease!

I can't make this one lads, busy playing at work again. Be good for you to meet though. This car show comes even closer on July 5th when it is scheduled for Snetterton. We had a meet there about 3 years ago.

Mate, if there is anything at all I can help with???? Noticed you've been a bit quiet on here lately. As you know I have loads of spares and tools just give me a shout! 2 techies together what could possibly go wrong!?Lol. Hope you're well, pop round for a brew. Take care buddy

Cheers mate. Yeah, next time you've back mate.

Today's meet is on, possibly 4 of us meeting up. See you there guys, with a spare tps if I can find one ;)

Good spot, don't know how the thread closed???? I will have a look for a spare tps for you to try mate, I've a few somewhere. Address for today's the meet. The Cherry Tree 74 London Rd Harleston IP20 9BZ,
