Mosquito infested Sunday living near salt marshes & bitten to death but just had to change the thermostat tank after 44.463Klm cars now reached 53.632Klm which is a joke considering the mileage covered & this was a like for like part due to identical code numbers & begs the question is the...
Car runs lovely & smooth so all is good ? NO after several repeated delete fault code scans I got P0597-P15AO I have know found the Thermostat control which stopped the Air con working is also causing fuelling issues as the richness is too high which I'm thinking the ECU is being sent the wrong...
BSI fault F5FF keeps rearing its head I have a door module issue with what looks like may be wiring to the passenger door mirror a mate in dealers reckons its the flexi wires in the door as they appear to be getting 207 -308s with this fault on a regular basis he also asked was the car showing...
I needed to disconnect the battery for job I was doing so plugged in the scanner to see what's hiding anywhere
1st up was F40A Oil level sensor no coms with ECU but is working normally & can apparently be cleared by the oil being measured
This can appear if engine temp coolant was higher...
Guy who passed me in the Black Z & flashed lights around 2 pm today I was heading down towards the ferry roundabout if your about on here send us a shout as your practically a neighbour 👍
Installed my birthday presents today lots of fiddling but its got rid of the air swirling-buffering in the turbo intake & installed the intercooler pipes ready for its exchange got to say it feels smoother on tick over & accelerating from low speeds 👏😊
Lovely weather we are having so I left the car standing for 5 days & it was frozen solid used 3 kettles loads to defrost the doors & handles plus the mirrors & all the windows got it started put it in reverse & all the parking sensors kicked off & the flip screen looked like a disco I had forgot...
Vibrations through the steering wheel when low medium & high braking speeds took it up a hill & stopped & started off again a few times using brake assist (good test) & passenger side had previous form with being lazy B*****d but now both appear to groan on take off so there getting changed very...
50.000 Klm dropped the gear box oil it looked like the watery gravy you used to get in a greasy spoon café years ago & judging from the foam slicks floating on the top of it after standing in the drain tray for over an hour it looked well & truly goosed plus there was a ring of filings & a...
Remove 2 bolts 2 jubilee clips & use a long flat blade screwdriver + extending magnet job time approx. 20 mins for a jackass DIYer without removing the pipework!
I decided to buy a small runabout as I'm contemplating the future of whether to sell the Z so I bought this little Suzuki splash cheap as chips on the juice & only £30 road Tax!
Decided to service it today as its picking up a misfire from a cold start (plugs) but the weather was determined to...
Looks like my PCV valve is failing or about to fail had some blue smoke in traffic jam & I suspect their is a vacuum in the top half as I couldn't get the oil filler cap off without a pair of pliers !👀🤔🙄
Too good to be true? Lock went AWOL again so was a case of strip down & test first then grease the cogs & worm gear which appeared to be malfunctioning ?
Lock seems to be working fine now on manual but it was a pig to dismantle as it has offset pressure clips on the sides & you need to slightly...
The boot lock has been a bit dozy lately to the point of not working at all so today using the fob I thought of trying energising it whilst the boot was open & after centrally pressing the switch a good 6-8 times & more importantly hearing the relay working when switch is pressed its now...
Fitted 2 LEDs in the front indicators tried hazards first but passenger side had what I suspect was a can bus conflict as it was out of sync so after many attempts including cleaning the holder inside the housing & contacts with Halfords electrical cleaner it still played up so I left it...
