  1. Same thing with mine just after buying, all lights on the dash would light but no crank, turn ignition off, back on & it would start up. My problem was a loose battery cable connection. Nipped it up & never had an issue since.
  2. 6:45 into this video here shows where he went wrong with his backing plate😁.
  3. Just a suggestion, did you disconnect the battery first? Also, are you able to reset the steering angle sensor in case that's the issue?
  4. Preferably a new one for Brembo calipers, not sure if they're different. I can't seem to source an aftermarket one at work. I don't want a used one. If anyone does have one, or a pair, I could be tempted depending on price.
  5. Welcome fellow northerner! Clean looking Z.
  6. Every now & then I check mine are still fitted as I've found they can turn around over time..
  7. I had a fail in August on a rotten rear subframe, till I went back & pointed out it was aluminium. Exactly where on the rear is so bad?
  8. Were the spark plug tubes full of oil prior to doing the spark plugs? If so, did you get it out or just remove the plug & allow the oil to get into the cylinders? I've had this on an older V6 engine & it took a bit of a run out for it to burn off.
  9. Welcome aboard. Love that colour, looks very clean too!😎
  10. We stock 1000's of Yuasa batteries at work & very rarely have a faulty one. For info, they have 3 different ranges, 1 yr, 3yr & 5yr warranties. Sounds like you're just unlucky. I can't remember the last time I bought anything from a Halfords.
  11. Could just be low on refrigerant gas. Does 1 of the cooling fans come on when you switch it on using the panel? I thought at least one of them should, maybe even both. That should eliminate some of the system.
  12. Any update on this? Just interested to hear it's been sorted👍.
  13. My bet is if you have Brembos, there was corrosion under the stainless sliders, which pushes the edges inwards, resulting in less space for the pads to move, so they're grabbing all the time, can't release & is building up heat. Sounds like they'll need to grind the edges of the pads back so they slide freely.. Very common issue on 4 pot Brembo calipers. Apart from a strip down & removal of the sliders this is your only option. I've had to do this on loads of Brembo calipers I've worked on.
  14. Those would be correct, I just checked mine. However I'm on 255 on the rear, they were what was fitted when I bought it.
  15. Parked up at the Washway Road end of Glebelands Road just a short while ago. Silver with a wrapped black bonnet & rear window louvre.. Anyone on here?
