IMO if you want a manual. Its easier just to buy the car you want. Irrespective of gearbox type. Assuming your not paying more for a gearbox you don't want. If its an auto. Burn it out. Rip it out. Throw it out. And buy a manual conversion.
Found the problem with this zed. It's running on 5 cylinders the coil pack for cylinder 6 is loose. Yay!
The heat from the centre console could be the two rubbers, around the shifter, are missing or not attached properly.
I just asked a question in another thread which might be relevant for you. Is your accessory fan running all the time? Is the yellow temp sensor plug connection dodgy?
What do you mean by the accessory fan? And I'm not sure with the sensor I don't quite follow you :/ Cheers
$90, but l used to have a mechanic down the road who charged $50. (very busy) Worked on my non turbo once, then told me he was retiring PS: Justin? Have you got 2 Zeds now? Yellow plug coming off the harness, next to the other one on the water pipe front/centre of engine, behind fan.
Yeah I might do it my self yet. Yep got two zeds. Both 1990 one good nic and auto. Then the manual one I have been talking about. What is that sensor your talking about? I think I know where it is. But the car is running really good now. When I bought it the coil pack was off on cylinder 6 so was only running on 5 cylinders. Heaps better now.
