Zugara Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Wow, what a fantastic day for a cruise around the country roads with the roof down and a fab lady in thr passanger seat, dont know who she was tho. Anyways, nice slow drive going up a shallow incline, noticed that when i put my foot down i could hear the engine "pinking"? Not to bothered about it tbh as it wasnt that loud just wondered if anyone else has this prob? Using supa unleaded in case anyone asked.... I LOVE MY CAR I LOVE MY CAR I LOVE MY CAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's this bit I'm wondering about Not unusual in Scotland for unknown young "ladies" to hop in to a Z Roadster for a "spin" when you are sitting at traffic lights in the city centres, especially just after the pubs come out. We really are a very friendly bunch up here, despite suggestions in another topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 As far as I can tell pinking sounds like light ratteling from the engine when it is being laboured. Ie low speed and low gear then put ur foot down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
