Night out...

[Gonzo88]

... Well I came down to London today for a night at the O2 and this what happens...

 

 

Speaking to Ken earlier in the week hope I can get it sorted before Wales!!

What happened?

[Gonzo88]

The clutch slipped then stopped working all together. Clutch pedal has no resistance and just drops to the footwell.

Yeah I preferred Beyonce when she was in Destinys Child...

relatively new Z also! Hope she is a cheap fix.

[Gonzo88]

Ok so my car got taken back to the garage I bought it from. They've said it could be a maste/slave cylinder that's gone. If its the clutch they'll sort it through the warranty. However if there is damage to the flywheel they say it could be expensive however I may source my own parts as it will be cheaper and probably better.

[Will370z]

Pm zmanalex if you need any parts, cant be beaten on price and its straight down to you no hassles

[spursmaddave]

The 'clutch to the floor' bit does sound master/slave cylinder related from other posts on here. How many miles has your Zed done?

[Gonzo88]

Mines on just gone over 29k on the clock. Clutch wasn't high or anything.

[spursmaddave]

I have heard of clutches going on that low mileage... anyway hope you get it sorted asap and cheaply

[marzman]

Search for Greekman's clutch issues on here... he's gone through about 4 master/slave replacements on the HR i believe. He may have ended up with some uprated parts from ZMANALEX in the end to stop the problem.

 

I might be making that up but thats what i'd be searching for if it were my car.

[Stoker11]

Gutted for you mate,hope it gets sorted ok

[Gonzo88]

Oh I'm in a catch 22. Car should be an easy fix, been offered a good price for the car in exchange for a CLC220 and later this summer I could pick up a tidy GTR.

[ioneabee]

I had the earlier c220 - nice car but not very exciting

[Gonzo88]

I too had a 56 plate C220 that's the only reason I'm considering it as I had my old one remapped and it was very impressive for what it was at returned 62mpg on a good run down the M5

[ioneabee]

hmmm - best I ever got was mid 40's and that was being very careful

[Gonzo88]

Yeah I struggled to get 40mpg but after the remap I had more power and far better return on careful driving.

 

Only got this picture but you get the idea.

A little update.. The zed was almost sold yesterday.. however after seeing her again I had a massive change in heart. Having only changed to a zed at the beginning of the year I'd be quoted about £2.5k to change cars. So I thought for a minute and decided I'd be better off buying a runaround for that price instead of giving up the zed.

 

In other news I've convinced my girlfriend what a lovely car these are and may be looking at a 370z in the New Year.

[bronzee]

Now how cool would that be, both you and your lovely lady both in Zeds.

[Gonzo88]

Would anyone know what my zed would be valued at in the current market if I was to sell?

[Gonzo88]

So only just spoken to the garage my cars been taken to in order to find out what's wrong and what's being done. I've been told the Slavs cylinder failed and the clutch is also being changed because it is contaminated.

 

So having a new clutch fitted by warranty so it's all good. They're also going to check the flywheel whilst the clutch is out.
