It may be the tensioner, or it could be the hydraulic lifters. If it has been sat for a while they may have drained or seized. Take it for an easy run and see if it clears

Was out and about today and passed a traffic cop in a brand new Range rover, leather interior, so not a cheap version ( the designer on those must have taken a day off when they done the back end. FFS) then gets home and watching the SO19 boys turning up to nick some people re the bombings in an X-5. No w I am by no means anti-police, every job that involves power over others draws some tosspots, but generally speaking I think they do a bloody hard job for not enough money. But, I am guessing thta between the two motors above your not going to get much change out of 120 Large, neither are particularly spacious, or fast or inconspicous so why does the Met spend shed loads of money on the latest motors and then complain that they cant afford to pay their guys a decent bunce? If I wanted an inconspicous van in which to carry myself and a few heavily armed mates inconspicously around london my tool of choiced would be a dented transit, the choice for pursuing people down the motorway.... XR4I, Cossie or even dare I say it , a jam sandwiched Zed. I know that these are only two scenarios that police vehicles are expected to perform in, but I feel that our hard earned tax pennies would be better spent putting more, or better paid coppers on the beat, rather than flash motors and some "Community Support Officers" (talking of which, do they all have to pass the village idiot test before being issued a uniform? if they were good enough to be coppers, they would be coppers.FFS). Rant over :)

coont. lmfao

Darling messed up the railways, now hes being allowed to play with the cars. Personally think he should go play with the buses. I'd like to know what competence these muppets claim to have to allow them to run the country

Done. Theres not a lot to chose from in the over 40's is there. Sell by Date = well gone :)

For sure bud, didnt get around as much as I wanted, the zed will be on the road soon, and will start getting to meets

Fook of you.lol Anyway, God confused Greg, anyone else is just compounding the issue.:)

I was there, not in any car , but took the poor mans choic ein the poll :)

Wasnt there for long as I was too lazy to sort the zed, but you deserve all the praise you're getting Chunk, a job well done bud :)

I do have the connector loom, but like said above, didnt see the point of addin another 2 connections in to the mix, so am soldering the nerw connectors into the old loom and shortening them to fit the new position.

mine involves soldering, but im not telling you why :)

if you have a jap car and you have a speed converter fitted, it could be that on its way out, or the speed sensor fitted to the gear box, both of which would cause the same symptoms and are more likely that the PAS pump or steering rack.

the poll asks where im from , not where I live....dufus

Whats white and slithers across the floor? Cum dancing :)

or you can buy a brake pipe kit and re-do them yourself, lot of grief, but 800 quid is a lot of doh.

Ive done both sides, used to be mad on the gym, havent been near one in 7 years. Gave up drink 12 yrs ago, but smoked since I was eight (30 yrs of Marlboro :)) I am almost completely carnivore, dont do salad or fruit (though the mrs keeps slipping rabbit food on my plate, only to find it in the bin later) love anything that can be called junk food KFC, curry, chinese, MCD's, Now a firm believer in the old adage that being healthy doesnt make you live longer, just makes it seem to be a long process :)

think it would have been better if the called it CL1T, which is almost what Mrs Jock called me :)

All the best to you both :)

Could be worse matey. could have an obsession with sheepskin :shock:

And Ive decided that I am a lazy barsteward, and will be coming on the blade :)

That explains it, she said she had pins and needles! Must have been just a little pr1ck :)

Micro lighting bud, you know it makes sense:) Cos strapping yourself to a fook off big kite and a lawnmower makes sh1t loads of sense :)

I did something silly a few moments ago. Cillit Bang: fooking great spoonfulls in my rad (removed from the car before you ask) fillup the rad with boiling water from the kettle, cap back on. Bit of a shoogle (thats a shake to you suverners) and left for a few to "do it's magic". At this stage, as an educated type bloke, I should have considered the combination of effervescent cleaner and boiling water in an enclosed space, I didn't, I eat my dinner (chicken breasts in bacon with melted cheese if you must know) On opening the rad cap it didnt go in my eye (thank fook) but I have just spent twenty minutes cleaning it off the ceiling (cilit bang cleans the sh1t out your radiator but for some reason wont clean it off a painted white ceiling) mrs Jock = leass than pleased :(

I have owned two zeds now, an NA which never gave me any trouble (though I gave it plenty, not half as handy with a spray can as you :)) and the TT I have now which I bought knowing it had a few issues, neither has broken down or let me down. Accept what it is, learn a bit about basic looking after/ servicing and you will not be dissapointed. Zed Confucious say: better to by a dog you know is a dog than a pig you think is a princess. Know what I mean?

OOOH, listen to her!! Does this mean you got a wet one in Ibiza or did you finally catch up with the neighbours cat?? :xxx: :)
