Ok that’s good to know Water pump pulley and /or friction wheel Thanks

Rattling/ ticking noise investigation continues Still trying to identify where this noise is coming from. I have eliminated the water pump now as the noise is no different during start up to when the auto friction wheel operates, as this moves forward and runs the water pump on temperature...

There is a YouTube video Is it bad news for the rcz? Salvage uk The rattling noise was from the water pump area, the water pump belt and auto tensioner was replaced and noise was resolved.

Is the rattle worse at the water pump set up?

Just purchased front discs and pads from AUTODOC for £148 delivered (340 mm) Great saving

I enquired on a previous post, thinking it was just a cap that fitted over the tin roof naively. Apparently it’s a big job removal of roof and arches etc . Factory fitted as an option. Not for the feint hearted retro fit but still possible? I have the asphalt model it’s such a shame they didn’t...

I would like to change the front badge on the mark one as it is a bit dated now, keep the badge but same size as the rear. I have the zunnsport mesh grill fitted in black , if it was possible to have a replacement panel made to match

I think I’ll change the water pump and good to have a new belt anyway, I can check the belt tensioners at the same time Remove wheel and inner arch trim Put on stands.

Paying closer attention to the ticking /tappet sound from the top of the engine the noise seems slightly worse around the water pump area. Auto Belt tensioner maybe? Or the pump itself All original 12 years old 30000 miles only Services average around 5000 miles every 2 years maybe the timing...

Thanks for your quick reply Mike. I appreciated your straightforward approach to this problem and how best to tackle it.

Did you change the tensioner ok? I have the same issue Following MJZ example I think I’ll give it a go Pedro suggests locking the camshaft not sure how that’s done

Hi How did you get on with the rattle ? Mine is doing the same Not sure wether to change tensioner or water pump My oil was on minimum(not so easy to read on the dipstick) and I put in 250 ml and it did register on the dipstick so I estimate a 500 ml loss over 3000 mile between services. The...

Hi just had mine break front driver side. Hell of a bang when it happened , grinding noise then damaged the tyre. Wondered what the hell it was! I was only travelling slowly and was planning to travel on the motorway so could have been a lot worse. It had been changed 2 years ago 5000 miles only...

Hi How did you get on with the Bilsteins My second front coil spring has broken and considering fitting a complete set of b14 s Due to doubts that the garage know the Z they are literally only replacing the spring, not the top mount or the single use nuts and bolts .

Forgot to add I fitted the sensor myself after reading on the forum that the brake disc doesn’t have to be removed contrary to what I was told by the garage. The only downside after buying a low profile trolley jack and axle stands the jacking point bent. As others have stated they are such a...

Yes I had same issues Two speed sensors at the same time Lost abs, cruise control and hill assist And just recently another one on the rear failed lost abs/esp

Great advice Thanks again
