might just be a bit of leakdown from the stem seals Dave

About to do it for the 3rd time tomorrow...rear of car has to be up 24" and the front 10" then have zero slack in your sling from engine crane over the motor..take off the drivers side turbo ellbo to clear steering column shaft and up she comes allowing the rear of box to sit on a jack. Once subframe is cleared then it will lift out so the sump clears the front slam panel then idealy you need a 2nd person to lift rear of box over the slam and thats it.Imho much much easier if you have an auto box..manwell then ime sure its easier with the box left in. edit*** tie a plastic bag around rear of box on the shaftseal or you will have about 3 liters of ATF over the floor and thats AFTER the box has been drained as its what in the T/C fitting is reversal.

Ive just got my UK,s back as in the pics but all shod with tires and ballanced..done almost zero miles.Make me an offer:biggrin:

started taking the motor out again to remove the tubs that some "turbo experts" had rebuilt for me...bear in mind guys this engine and tubs had been on idle for only 20 to 30 mins to relieve all this oil into the decats..

the powder coaters i used are a lot closer to you..Birkenhead.

me too...fantastic zed you have there and i dare you to find another yella in as good nick..

another wide in the making:thumbup1: good work mate...Before i go to bed tonight please tell me the car is not held up by the nissan jack on the sill..your door will start to bind iff left too long:biggrin:

well ide be changing the temp sensor then (bigger of the two) on left which sends temp info to ecu.

cant say my zeds have ever gone over a min to come off fast idle and normaly idle at the above even before the temp needle starts to move upwards

:yes: get the wire cutters out and snip the problem away forever:biggrin:

Chrome powder wheels...car is black but i dont have them paticular wheels anymore. they cost £40 each to paint.

snap rings...they would leak ime sure iff there not there or have allowed the seal to become unseated

Ahhh yea Tom,been the ATM for wonga.BTW mate i got that job (mark) that you put me on to,drink on top for ya when i do it;)

Horrid things..gauze all day long:thumbup1:

me mate;)

captain bulb says so and thats the bottom line:rofl::rofl:

So after banging my oil filled downpipes on the counter of my turbo recon "expert":rolleyes: He goes on to try tell me theres nowt wrong with his turbo,s:headvswal....After 15 mins of being re-educated about his future health and welfare if i dont get sorted he turns to his partner and says "i wonder iff its them circlips that gave us trouble before":censored:....told him the tubs will be on his workbench next week and i want to be there as they are opened up for inspection....to be continued;)

And dont buy Aldi mops...good quality mops last 10 times longer so is cheaper in the long run:thumbup1:

:biggrin:

Thankyou for the kind offer but ime getting good at removing and fitting zed motors now so should be fine...cheers. - - - Updated - - - i know tell me about it Joel:huh:

What do your gauges read Andy..cel or far? need to know as the senders have different thread forms.might be a week or 2 as need to get mine sorted this week and early next but i will sort it for you.

then comes the book about his life...ive gone longer without a shave the time he,s been alive.Agree Richard 1st class tool:mad2:

the oil is not on the compresser side,all pipes clean.Its getting into the ellbo,s as per gasket pic and vapourizing. Just cant believe this motors got to come out again for another faulty part:headvswal:headvswal Ime getting sick to the back teeth with bad service and parts

Dont even ask :headvswal:headvswal
