Common wear and tear on Z3?

I can't compete there by a long way
I served my time with these.

Well, I started on Massey-Ferguson stuff first off in '73 and left there late '77 and went onto Chrysler cars. Alpine, Avenger, Hunter, Simca and all the associated brands of the Rootes group.

I appreciate that a lot, but unfortunately I am in the US. In another post a member mentioned a vast majority are in the UK apparently? Did not know that signing up here.

I’m in SoCal. Hour north of San Diego. Let me know if I can help!

@WaveyDavey, great gesture. That is the basis of how the UK Zedsheds came to be. Hope you can help @theurbanspectacle with his car.

Girly stuff. Did mine on these, amongst other smaller stuff.

Did mine on these but it's all nuts and bolts.

Did have the opportunity to send tank drivers off to the stores for 24v split pins. And we've all heard of the long weight/record stand type things. Sent a driver with the 17/21 lancers off for a Chieftain starting handle once, and the b'stards actually made one and sent it back with him.Had to find somewhere to stick it, he were a big lad and we didn't want to cause any upset.

Not often (if ever) I'm likely to quote myself, but I forgot about sending drivers to the stores for 12v fuses, not 24v. Happy days.
