First attempt a a posting

Post by wingnut » Fri Dec 16, 2016 4:24 pm

Hello all
This is my first attempt at a posting on the forum, so please don't be too critical.
I have for some time now been following the forum posts and found them to be very helpful and thought that I should join the group in the hope that I may be able to contribute with my own experience in the future.
My Z is a 2.00 which I obtained in February this year, I use the car on a daily basis for commuting to work, generally within a 50 mile radius and have covered 10,000 mimes since purchase.
The car has been virtually trouble free during the period of ownership, requiring only a front coil spring (would have been much easier to replace if I had more suitable spring compressors) and a brief period of not starting which turned out to be dash warning lights not coming on presumably as a result of pitting of the contacts in the electrical block behind the ignition switch. I purchased a replacement unit which resolved the problem without having to fit the unit. A bit like when I bought a snow shovel one year and it never snowed.

Hope to join future discussions if I have sufficient knowledge of the subject and be able to contribute.

Photos of car with winter wheels fitted (but not tyres), normally runs on 17in Style 103`s
