As I was going along one of the main roads through Crewe this morning, a police car was parked behind a Z32. There were 2 policeman but no apparent driver, I have seen the car around a few times, just hope it wasn't taken for a joyride.

Can anyone advise me, went to start my 260 this morning, haven't started her for a while, started well but when I went to move nothing happened, able to release clutch while gear engaged. Can anyone shed any light on the probable cause. Many thanks

My Z has been stood for several months without being turned over. Now this might sound like a stupid question but is it safe to just try and start it or is there anything I should do first ? :conf2:

Now that the New Year is here, (Happy New Year !!) maybe your thoughts, like mine, have moved on to preparing to go back on the road. What is your favourite tune/s to drive your Z to ? Mine are Darude - Sandstorm, Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper, Frank R Wilson - Do I Love You (indeed I...

Just wondering if the 240 I saw today while going to Wrexham belongs to anyone on here ? I think the reg is MBP***K. Certainly great to see one on the road.

Could anyone give me a ballpark figure for a good respray for my zed, I know it will depend on preparation (mine will need a fair bit of prep!) but if I have a figure to start from for just respraying it would be very useful. Also, if anybody knows of someone decent in the Northwest to do the...

:conf2: Can anybody tell me whether a propshaft from a 2+2 will fit a 2 seater ? Also do anti-sway bars fit all from 240-2+2 ? Many thanks

While putting dates on the Z club calender I've had to inform my Mum that she is not having a Birthday this year as there is no 19th of August !!! She's a bit miffed because she won't get her bus pass. Lol :D

Logged on at 9.10am to buy 2 tickets, sold out but miraculously on ebay for upwards of £250. :mad: I know it's unlikely but I hope nobody buys them.

How does tax exemption work, ie: how often (if at all) do they change the applicable years ? :conf2:

I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever get my zed right. It has been tuned twice now and within about 20-30 miles it starts to chug and backfire. It has a 280 engine on 240 carbs, all leads, plugs, points etc have been renewed. Has anybody got any ideas please, they would be much appreciated.

Have finally been able to drive my baby today. I can't describe how good it felt. Still slightly out of tune but nevertheless a brilliant feeling especially after the hassle of getting her back on the road. Hope to get to a meeting soon work permitting. :D

My baby has just passed it's MOT after being off the road for 2 years. I have had her since January this year and finally after much gnashing of teeth and false dawns she is roadworthy and legal. I am one v.happy bunny. :D

Hi, just wondering what anyone considers a good method of sorting a possible sticking valve. I say possible because I have a bad backfiring problem that seemed to start after the carb needles and springs were replaced. Would appreciate some objective input as I might have to kill the person who...

Seeing a Samuri spoiler in the classifieds, I was wondering what happened to Samuri Conversions. I met Spike about a squillion years ago and he bought a 240 from me when I moved to Cheshire ( sadly I couldn't take it with me ). Just wondering whether he is still operating.

Or you'll cry. Just taken my 260 to be MOT'd (failure list reads like war and peace ! only joking). The mechanic/idiot that had been doing it put new needles and springs in the carbs and "tuned" it. The work he has done is so good I have backfired 2 miles to the MOT place ! It was like gunfight...

I have finally lost patience with the "mechanic" who seems to view working on my 260 as a hobby :mad: . He first looked at it in Feb and declared it would be on the road within a month ! Now in May I cannot wait any longer, I want a Z on the road, if I had wanted one sat in the garage I would...

Noticed that most users online was 455 at 3.07am on 6th May, does this suggest that Z owners are insomniacs ?!! :confused:

I am hoping my 260 will be going for it's MOT next week. I have not driven one since my last 2+2 in (deep breath) 1989, so I can't wait to get behind the wheel. My aim is to go to the Cheshire Plainz meet on 1st of May. I feel like a child waiting for Christmas. :santa:

Could anyone advise me on anywhere/one that may have a decent exhaust system. The mechanic has decided that the current one is too noisy for the MOT, talk about keep shifting the goalposts !
