Agreed Valuation
I think for me it depends on what happened at close of sale. So did they lead you to believe you could have an agreed value of whatever you wanted or did they tell you they'd look into what they'd be willing to agree etc?

'Heavy' steering
Is it an aftermarket steering wheel?

'Heavy' steering
Have you checked your levels?

Head gasket?
You might want to look at my thread 'cylinder down'. Would be worth getting it checked out ASAP mate. Might be worth getting a garage with a block tester to do a quick check. You might just have a water leak or something

Compression results track z
Good job mate

Cylinder down?
What makes you think that mark. Shame you don't know about all the trouble I had with my first zed with you being so new lol. Just sickened me

Graveyard in the sky lol:lol:

I am mate. The car has already gone

Cylinder down?
Yeh I gathered when I saw all the water coming out of the cylinder. Gutted

What did you do to your zed today?
I found out mine is bust

Cylinder down?
Sorry, I have another question. If the timing is a tooth out (jeffTT believe it might be), could that cause a bank to show different to the other? It still hits 15° but CAS is across to the right

9 bar is pretty much 130 psi. Ill have to try and find out How expensive would the rebuild be. Wouldn't the numbers come up though if the engine was hot

I still have a coolant leak mate and need a new top rad pipe (ordered one today but it'll take about a week)

I also had a lick and found it very very sweet

Compression test done (on a cold engine), I've put it in order that I did the test and I've taken a picture of each result Cylinder followed by the result: 4 - 9 bar 2 - 9.5 bar 6 - 9.5 bar 1 - 11 bar 3 - 12 bar 5 - 11 bar

Can one of you confirm the correct way to do the compression test too? Obviously I take off the coil packs and the plugs, remove the balance bar. Throttle fully open. Electrics wise, is it the CaS I need to unplug? Also anything else I need to unplug and remove etc or am I pretty much where I need to be on this

I'm not that thirsty lol. So is it possibly head gasket then? I will be doing a compression test but think the battery might need charging a bit first
-
Cylinder down?
Well it looks like a slightly red colour. Would a similar thing happen on another cylinder without any problems and would it just be fuel?

Definitely the cylinder spitting:

Cylinder down?
Am I right in thinking I need to do the test when the engine is warm/up to temp? As that's gonna be hard wi the rad hose pissing out
-
Cylinder down?
Ill do the test when I get the time. It wouldn't have been quicker because I haven't been at home apart from the 20 minutes it took. I would try it again but the top rad pipe is pissing all over with the engine on and it's gonna take at least 4 days to get a new one. Mikey the rad didn't have the cap off

Cylinder down?
No as it wasn't wet when I started, that water would be blue too

- Cylinder down?
Yeah it was a little wet mate. The water/antifreeze looked like it was on the plenum next to the where the coilpacks go. I'm notompletely sure it it came out of the cylinder tho- Cylinder down?
Hi mate, there's a couple of videos on the first past if that helps for the amount of smoke - Cylinder down?
