I have a brand new passenger side wing mirror which I no longer need. Originally bought to replace my damaged unit which has since been repaired. Full wing mirror unit, mount and wiring connectors, and is finished in Gunmetal having been newly sprayed. PM me if interested before this goes on ebay. Looking for £150, these are around £400 supplied from the dealers Cheers Chris

Sorry I should have updated this earlier, now sold

Indeed, have located a few engines, rang a few places but not convinced so far... Spoke to Lee and he is on the case but we shall see what develops tomorrow. I have a decent price with the local specialists for an engine with 8.5k and 12 month parts and labour warranty included which isnt the cheapest option but sounds reasonable and sensible. Anyone any experience of what this will do to resale value if I go down the engine replacement route with warranty and history etc? Would replacing a 68k engine with an 8.5k engine increase its sell-on value etc? Cheers Chris

Cheers, will see what can be sorted. Not been a good week all in all, but things could always be worse

Now then, some things just turn out too good to be true....... To cut a long story short I bought my Z a couple of years ago with an lpg conversion already fitted. Seemed a good compromise and I did some homework on it which didnt flag up any warning lights - full history, installation records etc. Have had a few engine lights on of late, mostly intermittent, checked coil packs, plugs etc and couldnt find anything obvious. After doing a bit more investigation couldnt quite pinpoint or fix the problem. I wasnt happy with it so took it into the garage last week hoping it would be a simple fix but after running compression tests and other diagnostics decided to investigate further... In summary the extra heat and dryness of the lpg has knackered the valve seats on the engine, amongst other things. Just got back from the garage after having a long look at it, not good news and it either needs a rebuild or a replacement engine. Rather than a rebuild route I think Im going to source a replacement as theres no way of knowing if theres any more damage been done unless its completely stripped down. Current mileage is 68k, so Ive explored a few options and prices to replace it with an engine circa 20k miles and covered under a limited warranty. Suffice to say the lpg system will be coming off straight away and the car going back to standard form asap. No warranty remaining on the car or the lpg Can anyone help or point me in the right direction of where I should be looking? At least the sun is still shining outside! Cheers Chris

Hi, just the standard plastic ones

Have two new sill plates for sale if anyone is interested? Both new and in plastic bags. Have photo which I can PM - not sure how to upload on here Cheers Chris

Cheers, had it in the garage yesterday and it seems to be running low on one of the cylinders Should they all be running at 185 or thereabouts? i.e. is there an acceptable range?

Cant find a post with this on anywhere but found some info on the net. Is 185psi the correct standard cylinder pressure on a UK Zed? Cheers

Cheers guys, had a chat with Lee earlier and have also dropped a PM to Blackhawk so will hopefully get this one sorted

Always been a fan of the R32s, looks a cracking example

Ive just dropped the price on my Z, not sure if its what youre looking for but might be of interest? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1101627.htm Wish I could afford to keep her but need to put my sensible head on, for a little while anyway... Cheers Chris

Just dropped you a PM

Have a standard rear strut brace cover available with a few scuff marks from bags etc left on it by the previous owner. I replaced this with newer cover but this one might be suitable for carbon fibre wrap etc...? Will get some photos posted up if this is of interest to anyone?

Nobody able to help? I just need the plastic trim so any colour of mirror will do if anyone has a scrapped one lying around...?
