Well it has been an eventful few days: Awaited delivery of many new shiny bits from Eurocarparts. To include a new Thermostat. Any ways, new thermostat arrived last Friday, decided to get straight on it as I have had issues with over fuelling ( coolant temp send acts as a cold choke feed ). And the ...

Some WD40 or similar into the cable sleeves will help... those heater cables are forced into some fairly tight curves when the controls are fitted into the console. You might want to check the open / shut valve on the heater matrix for correct / smooth operation. The valve itself may be "foule...

That well either side is used to capture water though isn't it? because it is a drain, little hole towards the front of the well. which way is it meant to enter the well then?

Ok, so today, got a spell of good weather and decided to attempt a bit of further investigation. Few discoveries made: 1, Drain for fuel filler blocked - This was cleared by using a length of electrical cable and starting at the drain underneath the car and pushing it straight up till the point wher...

Thread for replacing the grommet http://www.zroadster.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8613 As mentioned, the grommet will only lead to water in the tilt sensor to be honest. But even if its not leaking, if it is buggered then replace it - it cost nowt and takes 5 minutes (30 if you get your fat fingers w...

As title states, my little Z, has suffered this common fault on the drivers side door card, top section where mirror switches are located.

What is the official fix? mine currently crudely held in place with a cable tie.

Yep on the UK M44 1.9 engine there is only one, pre-cat O2 sensor - towards the front, under the cover, just in front the gearbox - driver's side. Made by Bosch - they tend to be fairly trouble-free on these cars - a error code reader would normally indicate if there is a problem. Thanks for the cl...

I nearly ordered the bay one!!! glad I didn't now.

I have read up few things. And one member mentioned the older 1.9 twin cam which I think I have ( 97 P reg car ) has only 1 lambda sensor, upstream of cat, and only later cars which were more environmentally friendly etc had the two 02 sensors, this correct?

Del, many thanks, I've just ordered a new thermostat, so fingers crossed it is this!

Check for leaks on exhaust side before the o2 sensors and read ECU errors. Replace coolant temp sensor. How many o2 sensors on the 1.9 engine? and where are they located on the exhaust? Ive ordered a new rear silencer ( its quite long and includes an extra section ). Is it on this or further upstre...

Hi all, have a 1997 P reg Z3 which is smelling like it is running rich.

Could this be leaking into cab or causing poor mixture? Te...
