Gold wheels, veilside front bumper and a rather smokey exhaust. Was heading in towards the centre about 1pm.

K reg series 2 with Navan rear spoiler. Sure I've seen it on here. Saw it parked by the hedge before I went. Looks very tidy. :)

Hi, After such a good response to my main beam issue (which sorted the problem, cheers again!), I wonder if you guys can help me out with the cruise control. On my 1993 TT Auto - Import, the cruise control does not work. The green light comes on to say its activated, but I cannot set cruise. I have read bits and bobs from different websites, but you lot on here know your stuff! I've read about switches on the brake pedal going, connections in the steering wheel, one site even said there was an error code that you can make flash on the cruise control light? Has anyone fixed this on a TT Auto - Import before? Is there a logical approach to it? M…

I have an annoying water leak on the passenger side which is now really boiling my p@@s. I have checked all the targa drain tubes and all are OK. There is no obvious sign of water leaking around the glass. There is no water loss from the engine via the heater matrix etc., and the heater works well. Could water be coming in via the air vent situated just in front of the windscreen. Where does the water get vented out from this area ? The car is now coming up together nicely but something I just cannot stand is wet carpets, I have had enough of that decades ago with older type cars when that sort of thing was quite common.

Hi guy's Just got some UK clocks and was wondering if I have to modify them in any way to fit into my imported z and read correctly, had the origional jap clocks moded to clear top speed alarm and read mph although dials still read kph. thom

Ok... Symptoms.... Nast crunching noise when the car is cold going over bumps etc. Noise comes from the front end on the drivers side. Doesn't appear to be the gasket on top of the shock. Now developed a vibration when driving around 60 (quite sure it's not wheel balancing) Have to apply torque to the steering wheel when going in a straight line down the motorway, sometimes right sometimes left (rather like driving in a cross wind, its a bit 'floaty' I can feel some movement in the wheel from side to side but not top to bottom. Any ideas what i can look for first ???

Just a quick one. What battery is recommended and how much should i be looking at paying for it?? Cheers:)

Below is some info from a friend of mine who is rebuilding a TT engine. He has asked me to post this info+pix up in case anyone has seen/heard of this problem before, or indeed to make them aware of it. Attached are some photos: excuse the quality, they were done late last night on a mobile phone. "Here are some pictures of Number 6 "front" inlet port, this is the best I could do with my camera phone. Just a run down on the history of this engine, bought off ******* on our forum with less than 30,000 miles on it. I stripped it down re-rung, glaze busted the bores, skimmed heads, re-faced valves &valve seats, polished crank, rebuilt and ready to drop …

Can someone point me in the right direction for a 1991 wiring loom for my z32 but not the ones on z1 motorsport.... any where else?

Need to get a couple of tyres on the front of my motor. The current tyres are 225/50 zr16 Can I change the aspect ratio to a different one?

Thanks guys
