As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Re: My ZX Estate
Shame, I had a little shock today I checked the sills on my zx and had an area that felt very thin , so after a wire wheel job , cutting out the rot it got a new plate 10 inches long and all shaped to fit all welded up and vactan painted took 3 hours next when the filler arrives I'll skim it over flatten it down then stone chip the whole cill.
I was really ment to be rubbing The passenger side wing down for respray ... But that will be for another day thanks to the cill, at least it won't be picked up on its next mot

Re: My ZX Estate
thanks Husky, I've not been able to find him, so if you're able to post a link that'd be helpful.
The only ZX Parts I have are a couple of 'ZX Specific' Engine / Gearbox brackets / linkages and a Window Switch but if you need anything XUD related, then I might be able to help. I'm also aware of one, possibly two; XUD's breaking (not ZX's)
Have a good look for tin-worm beyond the Wing if that's why you need one; the ZX I broke was absolutely riddled with it.

Re: My ZX Estate
thanks Husky, I'm amazed that my searching didn't find it, was doing that very job myself about two months ago.
Nice to see that a youngster's interested in ZX's, which were very definitely in the 'Unloved' category for a long time; possibly still are; rare now though, specially the Estate.

Re: My ZX Estate
I'm surprised that the video guy just put the camshaft in with the existing shims and did no measuring, grinding the valves will almost certainly reduce the gaps, also didn't suggest that the valve faces need checking for pitting.
Man is, by nature, a lazy beast, he does not need twice encouraging to do nothing.

Re: My ZX Estate
I was surprised as much as what you are but he did say he knew the gap was good and the shims were too , his proof will be in the pudding on start up , my guess is it will run fine ... But for how long were have to see.
