General Discussions - Non 300ZX

How gutting to leave your classic BMW parked outside a garage on the road for the mechanics to work on it and some errent driver uses it as a buffer stop point, jeez I can feel his pain....sad. Jeff

My alarm/immobiliser on my Z has been playing up for quite a while now and this week it's worse than ever. Basically, the fob just doesn't work (sometimes). You have to completely disconnect the alarm where it plugs into the siren, disconnect the car battery for 10mins, plug it all back together and then it'll work. It's an old Toad alarm and on close inspection of it, it appears to not have a separate box away from the siren. My question is, could I replace the alarm using the existing wiring and immobiliser and just replace it with a newer toad alarm and how easy would that be? I've phoned around a few alarm companies and they are wanting £500+ to remove…

Unbelievable !! Europe wide weather is well messed up at the moment, was watching news reports of snow in Benidorm and Alicante the other day amazed and then wham woke to our very own freezing morning.......plain weird Jeff

Afternoon, Been a good few years since I put a PC together but I think it's definitely time I looked at replacing it. It's basically used for normal home/office use and no gaming but looking for something that's future proofed for the next few years at least. Looking to run W7 at a good reliable pace Can anyone help me with what I should be looking for or components to stay away from/not bother with. Cheers Vijay

I've always liked the S10 as another friend of mine had a 4-cylinder S10 many moons ago. As we don't get them here, they are a bit of a novelty and I might ship it to the UK some day. I had been looking around for a 300zx or some sort of GM manufactured coupe from the early 2000s, but when my friend said he had an S10 sat in his back yard, I jumped at the chance! It's a V6 extended cab, it's a Texas truck, so the underside is rust free and the paint is surprisingly good. It needs a new door and rear bed....oh, and the small matter of a replacement engine which we have, although I am considering an LS swap (V8) as they bolt straight in. If I'd gone for another 30…

So to those that know us at Zedworld we lost Cassie our 10 year old labrador back in June last year, and Libby our German Shepard 2 years previously, both regular workshop visitor`s that made us and our customers feel at ease, loosing them both left us feeling low and once Cassie was gone unwilling to have another dog, but six months later ..... .... and to those that have been there, they will understand the moment you again catch eye with a little beauty that makes you look twice, and you realise it could be time to think again. So off on a 120 miles trip to Lisbon to visit the potentially new addition to our family, 30 years having dogs looks to be continued....…

Cooking just now. Home made Scottish Tablet and Shortbread ! Rain is battering off the kitchen window and the kitchen smells great ! Nipped up last night to one of our Landmarks up here for Fish`n`Chips by the sea. Still love my big Ol Hillbilly Farm Truck. All the best folks. Take care... Alan.........

Another one taken too soon. RIP - May the force be with you :(

Whilst I am not the biggest fan of Christmas, I do like the day itself, despite being at 36,000ft for half the of the big day, I will get to enjoy some Texas BBQ on arrival! Anyone doing anything other than the norm? If Christmas wasn't such a 4 month commercial nightmare, I'd really enjoy it, after hearing 2 months of Slade 'Merry Christmas', it's enough to send even the most tolerant of evangelists to the loony asylum. I took a flight back from the US at the end of October and Heathrow already had its Christmas trees up...I mean WTF!? I am not in the least bit religious either, so it really is just the day to spend with family or friends, something I do a lot anywa…

Whats everyone using these days ? Any recommendations and deals going out there ? I've currently got a small Halfords Advanced kit that done me good for two years but looking to upgrade my set to a proper toolkit, budget is about £250 - £300

Not to be a killjoy, just some info to be aware of. Under a new proposal put forward to the house of commons, councils across the UK could be handed new powers to fine motorists for minor motoring “offences”. If approved by MPs in the New Year it will mean that the enforcement of “moving traffic offences” will switch from the Police to councils. Currently this system of council enforcement is only allowed in London boroughs, due to some legislation passed more than a decade ago. One council “money trap” in Fulham — Britain’s most lucrative box junction — has made more than £12 million in fines over the past 7 years. In another area of London, a bu…

Well there you go guys, woke up today having attained 30 years married, feeling proud of my lady. Jeff Ps. I did not do the hearts on the picture !!

Well after what seems like an endless Summer here, an evening in old Town is a reminder of what living in a tourist run area out of season looks like, thankfully we live in a vibrant Portuguese village some 15 km away that just gets slightly busier in the season and not dependant on tourism, having said that makes for easier parking when you do go into town, just finding a restaurant open is well..... another problem ha ha ( but we did ) This is the locals tell us the time they spend with family as much as possible as in two weeks time the Festival and New year celebrations will swell the town by many thousands.. Jeff
