Dont know what your talking about :rofl: :slap:

Hows your car coming along fella??

I take it we got no answer then!?!

Im actually looking forward to the answer!

Infact my comments of how good ztech were to me are still the top of the list on the "comments" page on the ztech site!

Peeps, Ive just re visited the ztech website for the first time in ages, and see that it has moved premises. I know Chris took over not too long ago and was wondering if anyone has seen the new premises and is it a bit more suitable for the work than the old premises (which to be honest was nothing more than a large dingy hole in the middle of a farm), had any contact with Chris, or most importantly had there car worked on?? In the 2 years of zed ownership i spent a serious amount of money with the old ztech (tbh it was probably at ztechs peak) and i realise that a fair few incident seriously damaged Ztechs reputation for good work. So i am curious to see what direction the new owner/management is taking it in. For the people who have been there, is it a case of ztech reborn, or same old same old??? I cant help but think that you cant have too many QUALITY specialist. (This is not ment to be any sort of dig at ANY of the traders, especially any of the SWZ boys, knowing that your in close proximity to ztech) Cheers Nick

Yeah i thing your on the right track.Check all the connections on the coils to make sure theyre ok. May also be worth looking at the plugs and the injectors. I had a similar problem with flooring it and it gaining a missfire where it dropped down to 4, later found out it was shagged injectors. It may well be worth piece of mind as your going to have the coils and plugs out just to do a quick compression test to give you an idea on how healthy your engine is at the moment.

is it worth the risk of falling off........... HELL YEAH!!! Is it going to hurt??? HELL YEAH want one now, where do i sign?

i think i just throw up a little bit in my mouth

Cheers fella. I think its becoming clearer the more time i spend on here, that even after 2 years of not being anywhere near a zed, im pretty good at diagnosing faults, which imho is invaluable experience that i wouldnt have with any other car.

Its pretty difficult to see whether a lifter is dead or not, as i think im right in saying that the one way valve is inside the lifter. Try putting a screw driver down between the gaps in the plenum and onto the rocker cover. Stick your ear to the end of the screwdriver and have a good old listen, you should be able to hear the lifter rattling very clearly, and saves you having to take it to pieces to find its not them

are you talking about the viscous fan?, if you are, if does run all the time. If your talking about the auxilary fan on the rad, then the temp sensor is up the creak, are at very least a very poor connection.

Parked next to your zed in the pub car park at the begining of the Liverpool - Porto match (Come on you reds, excellent result!!!) Never seen your zed in the area before? where your from?

that vid sounds more like big end bearings, and really shagged ones at that

woman - wolfmother

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah gotcha. Yeah i heard some of the stories. Never had a prob myself but hey ho, shite happens, shame so many peeps got burned.

Welcome to the club matey, hope the zed gives you some trouble free motoring.

who was the trader by the way?

theyres no problem, fair play to him. tbh im eternally jealous that someone can spank so much money on a car, when he could give that money to me so i can have a zed again!!! :D :D :D

well bugger me i got one right!

so are we happy that the last song named was Black man ray - china crisis put on by chewie???? If so..... Black Dog - Led Zeppelin

oh come on, I was 3 minutes behind your answer, i went off to make a brew came back and pressed send. How can making a brew become such an embarrasing affair!!! :D

Nail on the head. I couldnt imagine spending 5 grand JUST on parts in one hit.

I havent seen that MR, but i did see your white zed quiet frequently

regardless of what i said earlier, its your car, your love it and thats all that matters
