The radiator cap is brand new, it says 1.3bar. It came with the radiator I've got. will try it tho and see if another one helps any. Cheers bud.

Forgot to add, when cap is removed, the water level has gone down by around a inch from top of radiator. Car runs fine and doesn't seem to have gasket problems.

Got a irritating problem with the car temperature. I get hot air blowing in the car no ptoblems, until occasionally it will blow through cold whilst stationary. I can't see any leaks anywhere. I've filled the radiator upto max, run the car upto temperature and made sure there's no air left in the system. Yet if I stop the engine, remove the rad cap, there's little pressure and the water is only tepid at best. The engine doesn't overheat, but has got upto 90° when it usually sits,around 80°-83°. Any suggestions?

Its a leather look pvc.

have been working on updating the interior and am wondering what do people use in the centre of the door cards to hide the material joins??? still got a bit to do but its looking better.

Congratulations ian, finally now you and your kids can settle properly and be a family once more.

Holy crap pal, really hope you can get it fixed. But glad to hear your ok from it. Really glad your daughter and your missus were tired and stayed at home. Good luck with your repairs.

Looks really nice pal.

Sorry, but monday is just another work day for me.

Ye, i did them years ago, but still not out enough for my wheels,lol. Hoping to order some rear arches from america at end of next month. Should be much better then.

got the rear engine bay skin fitted looks much better me thinks.

have you tried luke at zcentre?

It wont be happening again. My new boot install is not gonna be amps and speakers, but rather a custon fit portable feckin garage,lol.

Went for a drive down to lincoln to go pick up my new engine rear cover from gonzos. All has been ok(ish) over the last 900miles ive done since putting car back on the road. On way home i got about 10mile from lincoln when i see steam coming out from bonnet and i think the dreaded noooooooo. Turns out the turbo waterfeed hose had split and to try and get to and repair at roadside is not a good thing. Luckily after making a couple of calls i had some help with people bringing me some tools(thankyou gonzo) and water in bottles from my friend mark. 3hrs later from seeing the steam it was all fixed and back on the way home again. Alll i can say is although it was annoying breaking down ,i am howether happy that it was only something small and the z lives to keep going.

Sounds like happy days ahead for you both knowing he'll be home soon matey. glad for you both, really chuffed a how well hes doing :-).

All you people who are panic buying are completely missing the point here, and by doing so are HELPING keep the price of fuel so stupidly high. So please, only get your usual weekly fuel and help reduce the fuel prices by MAKING the goverment lose out on not only the taxes from fuel duty ,but the taxes,from your days wage too(if you cant get to work that is). If everyone did this it would get the point across much better.

Well sptted mate. Its not all fitted yet, but will be later on in the summer.

Have you got a aftermarket exhaust fitted?. usually get unplugged when you de-cat.

First chance ive had today to give the z a little clean up and have a good excuse to get some fresh pictures. hope you like as much as i do :yes: and my nice new windscreen, looks much better now i havnt got any stone chip marks cant wait now till i can get my rear arches sorted so my wheel dont catch them, and then its respray time :yes::clap: ps, can a mod please resize pics as for some reason its not letting me on my side at minute.

Had the windscreen replaced on friday by a local company who came and did it at home for me. Must of been the cheapest repair on the z ever. £164.40 all in. So question is, where the hell did autoglass get there price of £561.00 just for the glass!!!. While window was out made most of it by tidying up the scuttle panels with a nice few coats of black gloss, so all looks nice and tidy again.

No matey, no dig. Just saying power first :-). Decals later. Where was ur boost leaking?.

Mmmm, reading through this and i thought..... I know what, why not put daft things on the car and use the £££ to get good bits like a intercooler or boost controller :-).

Is there any chance youve refitted the tt flywheel the wrong way round as it would miss the teeth of your starter motor if you have.

That car is probably in better condition than when it rolled off the production line. Would love to have a chance of it, but the missus would divorce me(and were not even married),lol.
