Fed up...

[skyblueads]

Been a little while since I was really active on here, so I'll fill you all in. Spent the last weekend trying to get my ZS sorted since the clutch slave went pop. Lawrence-zs180 very kindly sent me his old slave and master so I thought I'd do the clutch while I was at it at lubricate the arm. My mate Mike came over to give me a hand so, happy days. Or not.

Trying to get the roll pin out on the box and selector arm was impossible, so the box came out with it attached - turns out the arm has been fixed permanently to the back of the 'box, I guess to try and take some of the slack out of the 'shift. Then we find that the clutch arm is totally seized, the arm was so sticky it had the effect of riding the clutch and even left soaking for a few days the arm won't play ball so we can't lubricate it to rectify what caused the original problem. Looking for a new 'box I'm being quoted £150-£200 and thats after spending something like £130 on bits last weekend.

The car still needs a bonnet, grille, bumper and wing to get it looking smart bodywise - question is how far do I go? Do I try and recoup some of my cash by breaking it or do I suck it up and sort it out?

Bloody cars...
