I actually don’t agree with the looks comment, I much prefer the Z to the TT. I’ve also driven both, & I enjoyed driving the Z far more.

When I first got my RCZ, the guy over the road had a TT. The first comment I got from him was “you’ve never bought an Aldi TT” Strange how 10 years on I’ve still got my RCZ & his TT is long gone.

I do like the carbon roof look. I decided to keep mine as original as possible with just a few tweaks here & there inside. If you like the look of it, go for it. I do think they look good.

Wrapping is cheaper than buying new. Some members have had theirs wrapped, so I know the results are good if done well. You could also try breakers, unfortunately some of our beautiful cars have now gone to the great garage in the sky, so it’s possible you could get a deal on replacing them...

Not sure of the cost of wrapping, but I do know that new ones will be very expensive. The moral of this story is NEVER use garage car washes.

Any links to that? It might be of interest to other members.

How old is the battery? Failing batteries have been known to throw up all kind of weird & wonderful electrical issues. Also, water ingress into the boot lock has also been known to affect other systems in the car.

Welcome 🖖🏻 I bet you will have never owned a car that you want to look at so much before. I’ll have a little side bet that when you park it up, you will look round at least twice every time you walk away from it. 👀🏎️

Yes, all the MkI Z’s had the original Timing chain assembly. The upgrade was fitted as standard on the MkII’s and was fitted to any MkI that went in with that fault. I have seen a few MkII’s on here that have had timing chain issues, so it’s not infallible.

Maybe if you post a photo of yours it might help get a replacement ?

Also, check your oil level to make sure you have plenty in there

Part of a coil spring. You might need to take a wheel off to see which spring has snapped.

You do have the perfect club name for it 🤔

You could also try any breakers near you, you might just drop lucky & find one in.

Ah, sorry, I read the bit about the coolant level staying at max. It could well be the thermostat that is causing problems, especially if the temp gauge is playing up 🤔

It does depend on the mileage you’ve done during that time. The Prince engine can be thirsty in that respect, but as has been pointed out, not all of them are the same. It’s worth having a look for any oil anywhere on the engine or underneath where it’s been parked. If there are no obvious...

Sounds like it could be a sensor issue. I think I’ve read on here that the coolant sensor can get covered in crystals, which can affect its function. This could be why you’re getting an erroneous message regarding the coolant level. Not sure if that would explain the sudden drop on the...

Could also be a faulty sensor ?

They said the same about my plates, but as there was no wear they covered the cost of the lot.

Don’t you just love a cared for Z - beautiful
