Hi all, Is the little metal disc with the key-hole a part of the door lock barrel or door handle? My driver's side one is devoid of the little "flap" that closes the key-slot and, being a perfectionist, I want to replace it. Do I need a new lock or a new door handle? Thanks Richard:cool:

Rotten battery tray replacement part one Ok removal of the tray is quite simple, a couple of 12mm bolts and a few spot welds secure it in place, however this tray was in such bad condition it needed to be removed in bits, the air grinder helped but it could be done by hand with a combination of metal shears and and small saw. Once the tray is fully removed the lower inner wing section is revealed, even this needs some work. The inner wing section is shown cleaned down with a wire brush in the air drill, however a hand wire brush would do it to Here is what was left of the old tray.

Hi, Anyone know where the best place to get a temporary insurance cover for my 300zx vert?? I have classic on my z32 TT and they dont do temp cover, and commercial on my van, so dont do temp also I just want to insure my new vert for a month or so, whilst the summer is still with us, and then do her up over winter!

My car is still idling at 2000~2500 rpm's according to the rev counter - I have no real reason to doubt that it is reasonably accurate, the revs sound high too. Adjusting the TPS makes no difference at all, it fluctuates for a sec but then resumes the same rpm. The TPS no longer has the weatherproof connector, but someone has crimped connectors onto the wires which then plug into the sensor. Do these often go faulty? The A/C switch is off, and it just adds an even higher rpm! Any thoughts? I've read there is a more crude method of adjustment somewhere...this has possibly been set by a previous owner for some reason and may be worth looking at if I know where.

was going to use some engine flush,b4 my oil change (slight tappet noise) but read a few threads on here that say this is not a good idea why ????? seems like a good idea to me, to clean it out have also got some thinner starting oil 5w 30, is this ok ?

all the black textured platic coating type stuff has worn away to shiney ali and looks a bit daft to be honest. Is this stuff available as a spray or is it best just to have them resprayed when I get my boot done

Ok so now there is a new problem with the car before ive had chance to fix the others. There is a noise coming from behind the glove box which sounds like someone sucking a straw constantly in a nearly empty cup, but the only thing i can find in the area is the battery. Is there something under the battery or behind the glove box which uses a liquid?

Hi, Any member live in Basingstoke? It would be great to meet up and exchange ideas, issues solutions etc.

I've got the chance to pick up a N/A manual for peanuts. All seems OK apart from above the windscreen, the panel between that and the targas has a huge crack in it. To the extent that you could peal a chunk out. Also the speedo says MPH, but the guy recons it is reading KMH. Apart from that there is some surface rust around the wing and the filler cap & Driver window are faulty
