Yes. The water level had dropped considerably in the radiator.

Hi All, I fixed a squeak on my rear brakes and took the Zed for a spin to check my handy work. JOB DONE! So I popped to a local meet for a tea and a road test. On returning to my car there was a pool of rusty water under the car with a hefty drip coming from the rear of the plastics under the car. Long story short, I topped it up, drove it home, checked again and topped up the water, ran the engine for 10 minutes then went for a spin..... No drippage?! Went for a drive to road test and spotted 6 Classic Minis, 5 Mustangs, 4 GMC Day Vans, 3 Camero's, 2 GT3s a series1 RS Turbo van. So jollied along with them who jollied along to a convoy of old cars just wandering aimlessly around Portsmouth. So longer story short, no drip. I got home and its bone dry. I'm guessing a possible airlock that was dislodged and popped the pressure cap as all hoses look good as far as I can see. The oil and water look good so no fouling there, and the temp was solid in the centre of the gauge throughout. So i'm a bit miffed. Has anyone got an idea what may have happened here? Cheers

Sounds painful! Hope she’s ok. Yes I saw that with the white one. It was a lovely car, but as I said. It just didn’t pull as much as I thought it should. Also it was very basic and tatty in places and for that price it needed to be a lot cheaper after seeing your one. Think I made the right decision! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just got back from a work trip to Reading. So technically I just got paid for driving my zed for 3 hours :) James at Powerzed advised to Poly Bush some of the front end as they are harder wearing, so not all will be Poly Bushed. So just going with his advice really. I already have 18000 Kms on the clock! So need to slow it down a bit or will have the highest mileage.

Best advice, I’ve been winging it and went for the fibre glass option as it’s all I could find. Also think we may have the only car Haynes haven’t made a manual for. I’m just not used to this, but enjoying the journey. Thanks again, and will get it ordered. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello all, I brought the black 10000 mile ZX from Gazwoz a few months back. I've been gingerly using him as a daily driver since the purchase, and a few small problems aside its been an epic ride. Im taking him off the road shortly to have James at Powerzed drop the engine and fix an oil leak and a few bits and bobs, and also to have Poly bushes put on. Then he's going in to have the rear spoiler removed, boot lid resprayed and a fibre glass wing put on as the old one is bubbling, and i heard if its bubbling, get it off quick as rust will chew through the lid in no time, James also mentioned Hens teeth when he advised me to get it removed. Im also having the underside sprayed with epoxy and 3M to seal in the original un-rusted goodness at the same time. This is a completely original car with very little miles and it feels tight and i'm very happy. I must say a big thank you to Gazwoz for sourcing it and making the sale a breeze. Also a massive thanks to James at PowerZed who gave it a thorough once over and did a bit of fettling with the PC and vouched for its authenticity. So thats me, just saying hello and hopefully meet some of you at the Ace Cafe meet on the 28th October. I usually head to the Ace on bike nights with my lady, so this will be new for me. Cheers Dave
