  1. Probably the only reason why he replied :rofl:
  2. Jeff has been very kind and offered to send me a report of the engine faults already mate.
  3. At Drayfords on the A61 Derby Road at around 8.50AM Saturday morning. Silver Zrd with (i think) 5 spoke chrome wheels
  4. some more details of the condition of the engine etc when it came, stuff i had just got on with :rant: Engine was described as coming complete with all ancilaries and turbos Engine arrived without the following components… 1. Upper cam belt covers 2. Water inlet pipe 3. Water outlet pipe 4. Thermostat 5. Alternator 6. Flywheel (engine from an auto) Damaged Parts… 1. Water rail on rear of Engine 2. Accelerator/Cruise control, connection quadrants bent Problems after Installation and start up 1. Had to disable ACC valve(also replaced with good 2nd hand unit) and adjust idle manually as unable to get engine to idle at required idle setting…suspect air leak 2. Major oil leak from oil filter housing extension…unable to remove/replace extension with engine in vehicle 3. TPS sensor not reading
  5. thanks for that, the thing is he probably has more to lose than me anyway.
  6. Already have some, got it before i went away. He told me to send the email that i did. I just want to take the engine back and get my grand back
  7. me too but the trader aint got back to me yet though as i sent him an email before i went away
  8. :rofl: Icant believe after all my problems i spend a grand getting a new engine and it comes and is a knacka :confused:
  9. All the others are ok, the car still runs just not as fast as it should thats all (mainly the torque aspect of it)
  10. happy birthday mate. hope you have a good one, shame i didn't realise when i was talking to you yesterday :headvswal
  11. He is mate, both he and his son were spot on when working on the car and his wife was cany too. He said he's not sure what it is, probably the heads but he didn't take it apart to see.
  12. That all depends on if i get this engine out and another one in in time really.
  13. But you were having the turbos which is why i didn't take it mate, you already know that :rofl:
  14. 3 month warranty mate so i want to take the engine back. Just waiting to see if the guy is going to return my email
  15. Ok, today was the day that i finally took the zed to a specialist. I took it to Jeff at Zedworld, I have to say what a good bloke he is, and not to forget his son either, another top lad. He's sorted my idle issues out, temp sender, gave the zed an assesment and conzult, boost leak check, throttle balance, timing, base idle. Also looked at my oil leak. He also done a compression test for me. the result started off looking mint, cylinders 1 & 3 both came out at 160psi :D , number 2 then came out at 165 :hyper: (all still looking mint). Then we get to number 4 :confused: and would anyone like to take a guess as to what it was????? 58psi :headvswal :headvswal I couldn't beleive my eyes. ive never seen compression so low before :( , Cylinder 5 was 158 and 6 was back up at 160. Anyway thanks again to Jeff for all of his time and hard work, definately be going back with my business (which will be alot knowing my zed :rofl: ) Still a real shame he's not here any longer, i have to say i think the club is missing out :(
