General Zippy Project

[RnRollie]

Possibly the onset of a failing variator or waterpump pulley/roller
If you replace the variator, then these parts should be replaced also.

When was the variator replaced? If ever?

5) Hardtop
- I assembled all the fitting parts for the Hardtop, mounted it on Zippy with a little help from my neighbour, and then took it to a garage for spraying. I need to give a BIG shout out to Barchetta_97 as I had to call him to figure out where on the body the paint number was located. Cheers B_97, as promised, you'll drink a B EER on me.:yum: There were, of course, two different shades of the paint available, standard and green<somethingOrOther>, and we went with standard. It seemed to match up better with sample cards. The newly sprayed hardtop should be ready for pick-up by Friday.

Anytime!.. btw, how much was that painting?

2) Block heater
- I'm going to install a block heater. I've already priced it at 120€ that includes the power-in connector, block cables and extension for an internal socket (which is useful for installing an internal heater). B_97, have you done this?

Last winter I had internal heater wired, easy job.. I'm planning of taking it off, since b is going to sleep on the garage this winter.
