My ZT Diesel

First pictureS of my ZT

This is how it usually looks

This is how it looks after tonight

Few little bits that need sorting out at only 42,000miles

Fan missing speeds so needing replacing (Thanks to Jules)
Clutch pedal sinks occasionally (Replacing Clutch,Master & Slave)
Alternator failed today and is not charging

Its an expensive month but the ZT will thank me for it

When ever I see images like this I just look in awe on how it all goes back together, hope everything goes well

Maybe you should look at the Discovery 3 i repaired last year then

Got a feature in Land Rover Monthly in March 2010 and was bought straight away

Tonights progress

Gearbox out,Clutch & Slave Replaced due to a sinking pedal

Car Lift

matt_tdv6 · 5th August 2010, 23:41

Gearbox all bolted back in and the car is sat back on its wheels

Need to fit Master Cylinder and re route all the wiring/pipework,replace fluids,bleed everything up and give her an oil change

Hopefully trouble free running for a few years now

Good for you

Looks like one heck of a job. Wish I was as competent or able to do what you have done there.

They are only nuts and bolts

True..... But why do I always end up with more bits after putting things back together

Then have to undo, to fit all the bits back, and then hope ?

I'm not that technically minded, I guess it's what you are used to doing.... Saying that, I used to strip and rebuild an Austin A30 gearbox and engine..... Things were easier then.........

crikey just read that on the land rover- that's some amount of work... i presume the car is still a cat c on the log book?

matt_tdv6 · 6th August 2010, 12:50

Yes still a CAT C but repaired over and above standard as i was repairing it for my family car

It was featured and an offer to buy was to good to refuse so it was sold
