Johndo Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Had my first zed for a month and I love it, however it has been a tricky start. It's a gt, 58 plate and 2 weeks in the slave cylinder had to be replaced. The guy putting the car on the flatbed damaged the bumper but managed to get him to pay for it. All the while, before it was fixed and now, the car has been shuddering in 1st and 2nd gear unless I am at 3000 revs. I live in edinburgh, it's quite a tight city. If I drive around town in 1st at 3000 revs I am likely to plow into some historic wall or other. It just feels like the car will cut out, then you give it some very gentle throttle and it leaps forward violently. Does anyone have any idea what causes this?

spursmaddave Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Maybe a dirty throttle body or maf or both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johndo Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Forgot to say, it also made a loud, rapid rattling noise off a hill start. Like drilling something. Dunno if its related though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Dunno about the rattling could be exhaust/caf related plenty of bits to rust and get rattly... Where are you roughly, we could recommend someone local who could take a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
