That’s happens to me all the time, I’m sick of having to tell scantily clad young ladies to get away from my Z when I come out of the supermarket. :eusa-whistle:
Good plan.
Although it appears your car has been driving round as normal for some time since the engine management fault appeared, it is never a good idea to ignore a warning message.
As Chris has said, it might well be a sensor fault, in which case it won’t cause any damage driving the car...
:greetings-wavingblue: Welcome :text-welcomewave:
You are in for a treat. I don’t know what your old car was, but I can guarantee you are going to enjoy driving your Z much more.
Get ready for the admiring looks, and the stiff neck from looking back as you walk away when you park up...
Re: Back and forth to the North Cape
That does sound like a fantastic trip, and if I was single, or had a wife who was slightly interested in the car, I would have loved to have come along. :clap:
As it is, I probably have a slightly better chance of getting quads than I do of coming with you...
I believe as far as engine safety goes, any tinkering is putting extra stress into what is an already highly tuned engine ( it’s a 1.6 for goodness sake, churning out 200bhp) yes I know they then went on to make a 270 hp version, but they also threw in a lot of other bits to make that work, so...

That’s the thing, there is nothing from the pedal, and no clutch slip. The only sign is the noise, but it is very loud when it does it.
I too have had cars with clutch issues before, judder, slip, but the Z seems fine, except for the noise. I know a few others on here have commented that they...
It was mainly once mine had warmed up, and only ever from a standing start into 1st or very occasionally into reverse. How they can tell it’s the flywheel by just listening to the noise is beyond me.
My father in law who was the head mechanic for a Vauxhall dealership until he retired said he...
I thought it was a bit steep, but they had it there, so it was just easier to let them get on with it. Plus, to be honest, to have anything done for under £100 at a main dealer sounds cheap :wtf:
