Took a nice pic today, is cold outside but at least the sun is out. C clamps are soooo much better than the crapy ones you get with the hardpipe kit. tightend up a gooden.

This seems a rather strange ad..... they'll rebuild your engine ???/ Ebay item no 120337902560 What do you think ?

I am now half way through my d.i.y. 60k service and am at the point of refitting the cam & crank seals. The cam seals were no problem, they were reasonably easy to fit and position, the problem is with the crank seal. Now I had no problem getting it over the 'step' on the crankshaft as I used the thin plastic strip technique, the problem I have is the positioning of the seal. The camshaft seals fit so that the face of them is flush with the surround, but on the crankshaft the seal seams to have gone into the recess about 1-1.5mm. Can anyone tell me if that is right or not? The seal is sitting straight, but I am not sure if its gone in too far. I don't want to car…

Black N or M plate with series 4 spolier (I think) in Bath around 9.30 Silver Zed in Chippenham around 2.30 ish Was it you!

Huh? Left the battery off over night but still got the error? Speed sensor is working fine however as the readout on my infometer shows the correct speed all the time from the ecu. Anyone else had error 14?

My LED sidelight bulbs started flickering. I checked them out and both bulbs have melted a bit. Looks like they've got hot - part of the plastic housing has gone brown and softened and warped. I think they've been in the car for about 18 months. They were not cheap and from a good supplier. If you have 6000K HIDs you need them of they look very yellow compared to the headlights. I've got the old bulbs back in as a temporary fix and new LED bulbs on order. Hopefuly they'll be better - LED technology seems to have come a long way recently. I'm glad I've taken the melted ones out - if they'd got worse maybe they could have caused problems. I'll post a pic…

Dont forget to change your club calander tomorrow :dance: :slap:

I put a post up last week about me possibly buying a na zed. the front discs are probably shot as theres a shaky feeling under braking. how much are replacemnt front discs? are the headlights meant to be as bad as the one I drobve today? lol how much is a kit to make em brighter? are there any simple mods that can be done to make car any better are induction kits any good on them or a waste of time oh and just one more... the one I'm looking at is a Jap car. should it be on V Power petrol or would normal unleaded suffice as I know the car has been run on normal? thanks ps I enjoyed the car the second time I drove it which was today:D

Filled up my Manual TT yesterday morning, reset the trip counter and filled up again tonight having covered 640km's (400 miles). I only needed to put in 55 litres to fill it up again!! I work that out as 33.33 mpg giving me a full tank range of 512 miles on a 70L tank. I wasn't on an economy drive, just a lot of motorway miles this weekend.

heya, went out to my Z today in minus 5, started it up and left it running to heat it up, started fine and sounded fine apart from a slightly squeeky belt. got it 2 minutes down the road and the hicas, battery, abs and lights warning lights all came on, pulled in and the car started acting up, wasnt firing properly and kept trying to stall. decided to go straight home and on my way the temp gauge started to rise, thankfully got it home fine and switched off, there were alot of bubbling noises other weird noises coming from it and a small drip of fluid from around the filler.....anyone have any ideas what has happened??? any help welcome...hate seeing the Z unhappy!! cheer…

Had a Toad AI 606 fitted today to get my insurance down and on a classic policy. When the guy was fitting it he found a black box wired to the ignition and an extra lock assister on door. Turns out after I looked on the net to be a remote autostart. I never had a keyflob for this so got him to take it out as they don't comply with Thatcham CAT 1 either apparently the guy said as they are seen as a weakness. pretty good alarm though £285 fitted remote locking , anti hyjack immob etc here's a pic of the offending remote autostarter

I have read that these fit with a little modding but what model or year primera is actually used ???????? Ta !

Been looking for fabric to recover my door cards, boot build and possibly my front seats and I came across this, anyone used this before. wondered how it holds up to wear and tear, and fading? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=280289445937

Does it still work ok or need turning off? If not how do you do it?

This may seem a bit of a silly question but where is the best place to purchase a new fuel filter? cheers guys

Just finished putting the interior back together after fitting the new dials and staint thing really happy with the results Pauls help was invaluable as my patience level is very low LOL

Could this be just condensation? No white on dipstick and this morning is very chillie, not using water and runs fine, I do get a lot of white steam in the mornings, but I assume this is normal.

Honest advice needed on this please folks. My clutch has just started slipping slightly, at the higher rev end of 3rd and 4th in my UK Manual. I want to replace the complete clutch kit, but go for an uprated one, due to possible mods in power in the future. Looking at threads alot state RPS is the way to go, but some have had issues. Whats the best to go for and will involve the least hassle with bleeding etc.? While box is out, what else is worth doing as more of a maintenance side, oil seal, prop bearing etc? Cheers Stu

Hey all has anyone had their front seat belts replaced? My passenger side one is getting a bit saggy so I'm keen to fix it. Mine is a series one car with the belts in the door. Anyone know where I can get some replacements? I'm keen on getting new ones if I can rather than second hand ones. Cheers

evening all can anyone tell why on a jap import the rear fog lights have to be operated by an after market switch? where are the rear fog switches on uk cars? thanks

As the title says, "Thank You" :bow: Tonight, I just fixed my inoperative Drivers window. :D Thanks to this huge database of help and information, I was able to remove my door card (eventually), remove and re-solder the window module connections and get my window working. :dance: It would have been a lot harder without all the information available on this forum, so thanks to all who contributed to the relevant articles. Now, I've only to buy new door card clips and I'll get the whole lot back together again. Next item on the list - Headlight washers are inop. :(
