  4. I investigated and it does seem to be coming more of a problem do you have the Same problem Matt? sorry for late reply i have been away this last week. my car 60000 miles but noise was before then. i paid in total about 1000 gbp. if you do have the same problem i would advise you to get the parts from America Courtesy Nissan is where i used as the Sealers are a rip off price in this country. hope that is helpful
  5. how is this coming along at the moment

  12. it feels like i have been banned looking forward to tomorrow Thanks Pimm
  13. i assume so i havent asked yet its been on my mind to ask for the last few days but keep forgetting will def ask tomorrow tho. i will probs take it easy for first few hundred miles anyway because im flushing the engine after it has been sat for 6 weeks in bits. so i will be dropping the oil with a filter change after then any way. i also managed to get the majority of my next service out of the way while most of the engine was in bits. new spark plugs iridium power, new auxiliary belts, power steering pipe as there was a leak. + new decent oil and oil filter. so should be running at her best now hopefully
  14. +1, i'd never bother with a car if i couldn't get the insurance under £1000, sorry, just my point of view 2500!!!! +1 me either. i got my zed just after my 21st birthday and paid 650 GBP 4 YNCB im now 22 and pay 750 5YNCB (inflation recession to blame for increase so they say anyway) and im with admiral. i cant justify paying much more than a 1000 for insurance its crazy you aint never going to see that money again. my advice would be to wait until un insurance quote comes down and save that 2500 that you would spend on insurance for it and spend it on buying the zed at a later date. not only will you have the price of the zed but you paying 2500 for insurance uv got servicing costs running costs and tax and mot it all mounts up. my advice is to save ur money and wait.
  15. im on night shift tonight so will be picking her up tomorrow afternoon and totally not going to be able to sleep like a kid at christmas
  16. eventually after 6 long weeks without her im eventually going to get her back tomorrow and i cant wait . All of the parts eventually came from America and i have to thank courtesy Nissan for their extended support to help get the parts to me as quick as they could. so brief low down on what had happened to the car. There was a tapping noise developed on the top end of the engine which i tried all sorts to get rid of thinking it was an oil issue but as you can guess nothing worked so eventually i handed her over to the garage to take a look inside. They stripped the top end off and measured the valve clearances this to my surprise in some cases way out of tolerance all on the exhaust cam shaft both banks. So after some thought and further measurement we decided that it could be the valve lifters. so i removed all exhaust valve lifters and took them into work to get measured up properly by the calibration lab. This confirmed that the valve lifters had worn the worst case being 1mm almost. so i now had to decide what size valve lifters to get to fill the valve clearance gap left by the worn shims after much deliberation i ordered the same sizes as were originally installed in the engine. so now after my 6 incredibly long weeks without my pride and joy i am finally going to get her back tomorrow. . After being in the garage the other day and seeing all the dust lying on top of her i was feeling quite sad for her so i bought a snow foam lance and some other bits and bobs to make her feel better when she comes home But most of all i cant wait to drive it again big
