hi bird, you asked the q... your right I've never really been that active, reason being outside pressures, trying to keep my small business alive 7 days a week, major health problems, raising three kids blah blah blah the zed is my fun time but I never got enough of that. But I am retired now so who knows anyway back to muzzatttarga, lets hope he gets sorted

will do

hi muzza. welcome to our world, I live in Gateshead had my zed since 2002, had a similar prob needing new belt a few years back, it went doing 60mph no valve damage I think you'll be ok , as for n/east mechanics forget it ive done the rounds. anything went wrong id send mine to jeffs usually £250 a pop lifted at zedworld Birmingham worth it for peace of mind , hope everything turns out ok. just remembered macdonald racing at lanchester.co Durham did a few bits for me over the years . good luck Ken

thanks groover & spin doctor

hi , took zed out yesterday noticed speedo had a mind of its own needle raced upto 80/100, in fact quite erratic ,but I was only doing 10mph in traffic I've had a kph to mph chip fitted about 4 years ago as the car is an import , no heavy steering probs from hicas , do you think the converter is fooked or am I missing something, I've stripped the fascia cluster surrounds off looking to see if anything has fell off but it seems fine thanks guys

i replaced my speed sensor with one from courtesy nissan usa , prob remained and it was a right **** to get out if its an auto the real culprit was the conv kit kmh/mph changed that now spot on http://www.ncs-systems.com/prod/1213 however if it is your speed sensor i still have my old one you can have it if you want nothing wrong with it

hi jeff remember this Originally Posted by minder guys, zed had been rattling (topend it seemed) , anyway it just died last wednesday, its at a local garage who say ive got a siezed cam no prices given yet to sort prob, ( garage is macdonald racing) this garage specialises in restoring old morgans so there not that familiar with zeds do you think i should just get an engine swap from jeff at zedworld or does any of the northern guys know where i can get this done cheers Ok dont panic just yet, with some more information it might be possible to take a more reasonable route than engine replacement. Ok so assuming you do have a seized cam then the previous noisy top end could have been a sign of poor oil flow to that area which has allowed the cam cap bearing to run dry. Lets assume this is the case then the usually the belt snaps and the engine stops dead did it happen this way? also more usually at low speed so damage is often not too serious. Has the sump ever been damaged ? not unknown for any sump dent issues to cause the oil pick up to be displaced and cause low pressure at the top of the engine. Once established that the camshaft is definately seized then removal is the next step and inspection of the camshaft bearings, and oil ways where possible but this is where it can get expensive labour cost wise so any external inspection is a good idea first. Having seen this very problem on a few occassions it tends to effect the right hand cams more frequently, most likely due to the design of the oil feeds to that head. With this in mind we have successfully released cams before by gently rocking the said pully back and forward ( timing belt off ) and then the cambelt can be refitted and timed up, try and turn the engine over by hand, if this is works then a compression test can be done to establish if there was any piston/ valve contact and if ok then its a good chance that by removing the effected camshaft and replaceing with a new or known good use one and new bearing caps etc. that the engine can be saved, this of course relies on ensuring the oil ways are clear so the problem does not re-occur. Of course damage could of been done so keeping the testing /inspection to the above tests etc is not too bad if it does need a replacement / repair to the engine.
