Non Starter + Coolant Leak = Expensive Week!

Post by Z4 - Kev » Thu Oct 19, 2017 9:26 am

Jumped into the Zed at the beginning of the week, turned the key and nothing!...Gulp!! :(

Bit of head scratching later and a gentle tap with a small hammer on the starter motor and hey-presto it starts!

Booked it in to my local Indy dealer for a new starter motor, plus sort out a coolant leak that's been there for a few weeks now.

Turned out the rad had a small crack in it plus the header bottle was cracked - nothing unusual there then :|

Ah well, all fixed now. New starter, new rad & header tank :) ......expensive week, but peace of mind that it's all done :thumbsup:

Ouch - that is a bad week OP. :(

Mind you the upside is those sort of bits will last for years now! :thumbsup:
