  1. Alex, As always, thanks for your advice. Shall give it a go this weekend and report back. When you say fulcrum area are you talking about the spring and pedal assembly behind the clutch pedal under the dash?
  2. Hello all, After several weeks of care free driving, the ZED has decided to create the most annoying creaky / squeaky noise when the clutch pedal is depressed / released. When released slowly is sounds like an old creaky door being opened. It's particularly worse in cold / wet conditions. Have been browsing the net and there is not much out there in regards to what it can be and how to solve it. Some of the chaps have concluded that it might be a small pivot joint or part of the clutch assembly that requires ’re-greasing'? Anyone had this problem and solved it?? Update: Just encase anyone asks, the car is a 53 with 39K, original clutch. Much help appreciated as always
  3. Right just got a call from the garage I took it too. They took it for a road test and luckily the intermittent fault occured whilst driving. They didn't use Consult but instead a Bocsh diagnostic unit which has flagged up the potential cause to be a FL wheel speed sensor. So hopefully that is it! Sadly only Nissan stock the part which has a back log of a week and a stupid asking price of £300! Gonna hunt around for it first on the Net and on here before I resort to giving the stealers even more money.
  4. Hi All, Put an update on my other post if you guys are interested
  5. Ok chaps, got an update but sadly not the answer yet! Driving to the work the other day I started to hear a judder from the rear which was synched to the speed I was doing. To my dis-belief, I found a 13mm Stub bolt lodged in the tyre, so decided to take the morning off work and go internet shopping. Cut the story short, I decided to invest in 4 new rubber shoes as the rears where completely shot and the inside fronts had excessively worn thanks to it pulling to the left. New tyres and a near perfect alignment later I had two full days of bliss driving up untill the ABS showed it's ugly head again. This time on the motorway at 80 and swaying the car agressivley to the right as if it's trying to slow the front right down. Havern't had the dash light up yet which is interesting but subsequently I have no assists again as I had no choice to unplug them once again. Been doing bit of homework and few of the Yanks and others think it's either a dicky wheel speed sensor (guessing the FR?) or the trigger hub is damaged (expensive part?) Another cause brought is that the Steering angle on the steering wheel isn't reading right. I've heard Nissan can reset this on the Consult? Annoying as I vowed never to go to Nissan Warwick again due to their incompetence but will have to see what happens. Just wish the car drove like it was designed too Will keep you all updated!
  6. Nissan Warwick. There F****** useless. Wouldn't budge with helping me over the phone even though I had been there already a couple of times and when I took my car for a second diagnostic, they hadn't the fugiest what was causing my ABS problem without charging me ££££ to strip it all down to then 'find the problem'. Currently searching for an alternative garage
  7. In need of one asap really to take the old girl in for a check. Ideally familar with it's ABS / TCS. The garage I was going to take it too is fully booked till next week.
  8. Apologies. Didn't mean to insinuate the other advice was useless. I appreciate everyone who has spent the time to give their opinion to what it could be. I needed to know how I could disable the ABS it as I still need the car this weekend. But She is being sent off to the garage in the week. While I'll get the bus to work
  9. Interesting theory guys. Didn't think whether those two could be linked. I had a 4 wheel alignment done at Nissan when I brought it but It never resolved it fully. Going to take it to a independant local to me this week and let them loose with it. Shall report back in a few days time with hopefully not a very expensive answer!
  10. The best Advice I have had so far. Thanks for your help Disconnected the plugs and now can at least drive the car! TBH I have put up with the fault for so long I kinda used to not having any assists. The car will be in the garage this week and I shall report back later on. Some of the other chaps on here seem to think that the car pulling to the left could be linked with the ABS playing up. So we shall have to see.
  11. Was a private sale so no can do. Yep HPI'd it and did a VOSA MOT check to cross reference the mileage. Just my luck I guess
  12. Pressures are all equal This occurs even with them all on 35 exactly.
  13. As well as the Spiralling amount of other problems I have with this piece of crap. The car is pulling to the left. I'm having to correct the steering by about an 1/8th. The car had a 4 wheel alignment done by the stealers a month ago and that hasn't solved it. Anyone know what it could be? wishbone bushes? etc?? Cheers in advance
  14. There the right tyres for the car. I had this question asked to me when the fault first happened. I will check but I had the car jacked up the other day and the front wheel speed sensors looked ok. No ECU fault comes up. Just the mentioned lights on dash. Took it to Nissan when it first happened and they were completely useless. They had no idea what it was!
