Infamous

Thanks Derek. I tried answering but I'm in a bad area of reception and it cut out on me.

Derek do you have a link to that engine for sale?

Initially I just thought I blew the head but the fact it wouldn't even turn over made me think there was a lack of compression. I had someone look at it briefly today he said its down on compression on 4 cylinders and he put some water in the system to try and get it going again, it ended up coming out the exhaust, I think it's pretty much screwed. :(

Are they traders on here? Do they have a website or any contact info?

I put it up for sale as is just to see if anyone is interested but I still feel like I should get it fixed again. Apart from the obvious (ebay) are there any other places you would recommend looking for a new engine?

Looking for some advice here... I was driving my zed last weekend, I was driving normally along the motor way then I noticed my heating went cold, very quickly after this I noticed a loss of power, I began to slow down but before I could do anything else the engine cut out completely. I had to pull into the hard shoulder and as I did a lot of smoke began to come from under the bonnet. I opened it up to let it cool down and noticed there was coolant spit all over the top of the engine. I tried to fire it up again after it cooled but had no joy and had to be towed home (over 70 miles :sad: ) I'm no mechanic but I'm fairly sure the engine is wrecked, I've been really busy with work since it happened to haven't had a chance to get it checked properly yet. I've never had something this bad happen with a car before and I've owned quite a few and tbh I very disheartened by it. Do you think it's worth my while to have the engine pulled and replaced with a new one, or should I cut my losses and sell as spares or repairs?

Wow, I've never been on a forum before were you couldn't even pm without paying...harsh! Sent you an email there.

@derek Yeah have the spoiler fitted, I ended up just doing it myself as I was getting to impatient waiting on the painter. lol

Can you message me how much you are looking for these items? Thanks

Hi, Anyone on here have either of these oem items for sale or know where I could get them? I need the battery tie down and the jack winder. Thanks

Nice one Derek. Looking forward to seeing the finished result. Be sure to get some pics up!:thumbup1:

Hi, I'm looking to give my car a good service and was just wondering what oil and coolant recommendations people have for my twin turbo z? Thanks.

Good luck with the swap Derek. I think I might go down this route myself and do the manual conversion, just need a kit to come up at the right price first!

Welcome!

Yes, AF will quote me but not for classic.
