Latest saga.

Hopefully that will be the end of those problems! How has the battery problem been lately? Sorted out or ? JIM

Hi Tracy, lovely to meet you on Sunday, and thank you very much for your kind words too.

Tony.

Just had a new Disa valve gasket fitted.

 

[DavidM]

Good job - was it costly, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Tracy Dee]

Disa gasket was £6.24 plus p&p from soper
I also bought a spare idle valve gasket under £ 2.00

Another problem taken care of @Tracy Dee Hope you're getting to the end of the list although I don't think there really is an end but we strive to come close!! JIM

2 new rear strut mounts on order just have to find someone to fit them as my rear diff bush.
Getting there soon be perfect.
Might end up with a bootfull of parts though.

[DavidM]

Yes it's good news given the frustrating time you had with the battery! Good luck!

 

[Tracy Dee]

Thanks David for support.

@GazHyde, @Lee help her out chaps.....

 

[Tracy Dee]

Little update.
After 1 year of flat batteries 3 new batterys heartache and let downs a drain that could not be found.
Until @smiffy came to my rescue and tracked down a huge drain it's early days but signs are good according to his metor drain equipment so fingers crossed we think he has cracked it.
Also have had the rear shock mounts fitted I bought.

That's great news Tracy, I'm really chuffed that you eventually got to the bottom of the problem so you will be keeping your Z. Brilliant that Kev could do that and shows what a great forum Gaz started here.

Tony.

 

[oldcarman]

That's excellent news @ Tracy Dee and thanks @ smiffy for being there to help out a desperate member! JIM
