I agree, bring on those sunny dry days.

Outstanding skills, Well inpressed

No Its within a barn.

Thank you, who would have thought my initials would be so apt

I built a garage to protect my Z from dust, not sure if i'm taking paint protection too far . My work colleagues have found this very amusing !!

Can you hear the fuel pump when you first turn the key, sounds like fuel isn't getting through? Just a thought.

Alex said the same, I'm swapping out the engine, it's the best option in the long term What I will do is strip the old engine down to see what was wrong and build up some VQ experience at the same time. At least that way when I'm left with a box of bits it won't matter!! Thanks for replying.

Hi Alex, Thanks for the pictures. Do you have a number that I could contact you on? Thanks Jason

Thanks Alex, I've had the screw driver to the ear and it sounds quite loud at the front top front right of the engine so that could be a tensioner issue. However, when I got under the car it sounded loud there too but couldn't pick up anything with the screw driver trick. I have an 07 rev up engine, I'll take it to the garage and see if they can better locate the sound but may have to consider the replacement option. I'll PM you reference that if that's Ok. Thank you.

Hi, I've had my Z for just over 8 years now and its just started knocking!! :( It's a sad Z day. I've kept the oil at the top mark since having the car changed the oil and filter, checked the tightness of spark plugs but it's still knocking. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_khbXaHwcr4&feature=youtu.be

I've ordered an insert. I'll report back when its in.

I did read that thread and was still confused! should have followed your advice ZMANALEX. I'll check out that thread adaptor thanks for the link

So, after searching the forum for the thread size I opted to follow the M12 X 1.25 advice. It turned out to be the wrong choice as I actually have the M10 x1.25 thread .. Grrrr. I now have a rather cool Top Secret billet gear knob all the way from Japan sitting on the shelf whilst I work out where to find a thread adaptor. I did think about sending it back and exchanging it but its not how the company operates so I need to adapt and overcome. Any ideas where I can get a thread adaptor.
