Z Shed visit

[windym]

Had a trip to the Z shed today to sort out the cause of my rear end whine (Diff) Had a great time with @Lee @GazHyde and @pgunter so cheers guys for helping me out with that and throughly enjoyed flying about in different Z,ds.

I owe you all a breakfast

It was a pleasure to meet you today Andy, and also induct your lovely Zed in to the Shed of Dreams(tm). The first Steel Grey Zed I've seen for sometime, a rather rare colour - should have taken some pics.

Definitely looking forward to taking it apart when you have time to drop it off and giving it the full #ZedShed seal of approval.

Always good to visit the Zed Shed

 

[pgunter]

@windym Always good to see another nice Zed as @GazHyde has mentioned. Hope you enjoyed the little drive round and the good weather. @Low Rider enjoyed the fun too.

Hope to see you on a few of the runs out.

Hi at some point I will get mine rebuilt but at the moment just going to leave it. Talking to Gazz and Lee about the bushings and a 30mm suspension drop in the next couple of months, see what happens after that.

[Alan W]

Ah thanks Andy, is your diff whine at high speed or low speed?

 

[Low Rider]

I'm interested as to what the conclusion is to fix your diff

 

[GazHyde]

It looks like Andy's diff needed some running in after the oil was changed. It was still noisy afterwards, but has quietened down over a few hundred miles. When we took it for a test drive we couldn't make the whine out to start with. Eventually heard it but it was pretty hard to distinguish.

Should the diff get worse then it will be a straight swap for a replacement unit from wherever one can be sourced. We dont have the facility to rebuild one much as we'd like to. Changing the diff on a Z3 isn't a big job - well not for #ZedShed.

@Alan W - I'm sure we can arrange a visit at some stage for yours

 

[Alan W]

Cheers gary, l would like to get my zeds rear end overhauled at the shed at some stage and get all the bushes replaced irrespective of whether they need it, l'm guessing that's a couple of days work? If so let may have to check into a local B&B if you know one?

i think i need to get in on this too! whole rear end re bush is needed i think.

 

[pgunter]

Gary, you need a bigger dry wipe board at this rate.

 

[Low Rider]

Gary, you need a bigger dry wipe board at this rate.

Ditto
