What have you bought for your Zed this week?

You can buy a set of C spanner’s cheaply enough on Amazon etc
 
Another free repair.

I love the smell of fuel in the morning, but there was a strong smell of fuel when we were on the lastest mAAd Tour.

Was it the vent valve, charcoal filter, a split hose? Each one would be either expensive or difficult.

INPA didn't show any faults - so that was a good sign.

I struggled past all the extra insulation shielding I've got to the vent valve. It was very easy to take off - suspisciously so. Tested it - it was ok.

On reassembly, I heard a satisfying click when I reconnected the vent hose. A click that wasn't there before.

A big thumbs up after the 30 mile test drive to get a pint of milk.
 
At the risk of teaching you to "suck eggs", suggest ensure they replace the rubber surround also. Some don't do this as a routine! :thumbsup:

Good point … and hadn’t thought of it…..
Emailed today to ask and had an answer straight back to say he will be fitting new rubbers 👍

Thanks Ian
 
Chucking it down with rain today….but windscreen guy arrived and did the 1.9 in the garage.
New rubber surround and fitted in just over an hour.

As he said it needs to cure, rather than move it outside in the rain, he said he will come back wednesday and do the 2.8.

I’ll leave the car in the garage till wednesday, then move it outside and put the 2.8 in ready to be done.

Nice guy and he’s done a good job.
