I had a manual conversion done a couple of years ago. I've been stripping stuff that i'm wanting to get chromed. Looking at the balance bar, would they have left the auto bar on or swapped for a manual one? Also what is the difference between them? Thanks Ant

Still having grief with my headlights! basically the drivers side is very dim (both round and square light), on the passenger side, the round light is bright but the square one is dim! the bulbs are fine, fuses are fine, wanted to check the earth but not sure where it is, i found an earth wire near the drivers side healdlight under a couple of grey plugs, but that didnt seem to be for the lights? any ideas where the earth is, or anything else i can try before i end up going to a mental home!!!!:headvswal

Hi, Whilst driving the car today, I have been monitoring the boost guage (does not have a stock one on) I have an after market HKS one. My question is that I have read the buyers guide and done a quick search but I just need to know what the guage should be reading as it is in- mmHg upto O.O then in Kg/cm2

Minus the spoiler, but looks very similar. Saw it on Paul Ridley.co.uk

hello how do you no what injectors you have as i have seen you lot saying im gonna get some (563 injectors ) ect not that i no the numbers lol

Hey all Its a well known fact that the lights are shi7e so I had my dipped beams changed for some HIDS. Although they are better its still poor. So my question is do you generally drive with you high beams on, or dipped at night? Do you get many people flashing you? I figured the cars are so low that even high beam would just appear as bright lights compared to modern headlights. Cheers all Ron

Last three letters JAR I think. Parked at Lyndhurst Park Hotel this evening.

First one was being washed near by Sheffield Football ground (Y) Second one was parked (saw it a few times) near cathedral road/mill lane area in cardiff looking good with the SMZ wheels on it and nice exhausts (Y)

Wondering if anyone has replaced hoses that run to the rear of the 300, advanced corrosion requires them to be replaced and if so any tips or where I might get some advice? Thanks JMC

What should I …

Just wondered if anyone knows whether or not applying Iron Phosphate to the inside of a chassis would prevent it from rusting from the inside-out? Some guy from Leeds University kept mentioning it at the Classic Motor Show last weekend. Cheers, Dave

Hiya peeps, my speedo ain't working, so I'm guessing it's gonna be the speed sensor... It's an auto, could anyone tell me, or more specifically post a picture of the speed sensor so I can find it? (many thanks :-) I have heard that it is removable without major work, but from what I have looked at, nothing is, so a point in the right direction would be very helpful..... Cheeeeeeeers Z heds....
