oil feed
hi all, ive had my zed for 8 months now and when i bought it i had it in a garage to cure an oil leek. after lots of money he said its also leaking from the coupling on the block on the drivers side next to the turbo ,i think its the turbo feed but the previous owner siliconed it to stop it leaking . just took it of well it fell off and the threads on it are gone but it looks like the turbo is in the way when you turn it to fit it , is there any other way to fit it.. new one on order

throttle bodies
the throttle actually sticks solid, i have to push hard on the thottle o release it but its not the cable ..thats free bit of a bugger when setting off fom the lights. no hessitation just like it jams was wondering it they were closing too far and could be set up
-
throttle bodies
hi all is there a way to set the theottle bodis for tick over . went to a garage last year and he messed around to keep it ticking over but it was an air leak. now they need setting up again, at tick over the throttle sticks as if the butterfly in the body is jamming. the cable is free it dosent do it with the engine off. so maybe the vacumm has a role to play . hoping to get it set up before the mot for the emissions
