That was fortunate that no terminal engine damage was caused. I’ll bet you’ll be up early doors for a long cruise to work.
How much was the labour cost, @Shelly ?New update from Allan
The chain guides had snapped which put slack in the chain, which made the chain jumped 3-4 teeth , which put the timing out , which led to it not starting….
parts were
Full chain kit and cam sprokets
4 new coil packs
4 new spark plugs
oil change
oil filter
also It had a full mot
new coil spring on the rear
including labour and mot cost £1,658.68
How much was the labour cost, @Shelly ?
Did you receive a breakdown of the total cost? Does this sum include VAT?

Sorry Shelly but why has he charged you for new spark plugs and coil packs when it already has them replaced by Allan zero miles ago?
I think he said that the coil packs snapped
Very very lucky for the engine to survive that intact...How much was the labour cost, @Shelly ?

Youre lucky it did not have any issues with the flux capacitor. These things are expensive.

Not yet @ShellyHave you heard anything about your Z @ktnez99
Hope you get it back really soon
I feel like I’ve got a new Z , I'm so happy![]()
Not yet @Shelly
As the radiator blew on Monday, a new one is on order and awaiting the delivery plus new hoses and a new thermostat. Once these arrive and are fit plus anti-freeze and ionised (or is it deionised?) water, it’s then got to have its MOT and this is all subject to whether everything arrives in time ahead of the workshop owner going on holiday after Monday. It’s nerve-racking because a hose and the radiator have yet to arrive and the man whose business is doing the work shuts up his workshop after Monday and is away for this month and next.
Thank you. So do I. If not, it’ll be September before I have my Z and it’ll spend the Summer locked up. SendingReally hope you get your car up and running before the person goes on holiday![]()
It’s great you are thrilled that Snow White has returned @Shelly Did you go a drive today as you’d planned to go?

You were over tired!I’ve been driving around most of the day
Nipping here and there with the roof down ,it’s been a brilliant day
I’m so tired tonight as I didn’t sleep much last night thinking about my Z ( silly I know)
I wanted to get up very early and clean my Z out , but I don’t think the neighbours would like a hoover going at 6am , I was outside by 9, and now Snow White looks perfect![]()
