I know a lot of people ask what speakers to get and as I have just picked my car up from the audio shop I thought I would write a short review and hopefully others can add their thoughts on what they have fitted for people to compare. I have had a set of DLS Ultimate UP6 6.5" component speakers and a DLS A2 amp fitted and the clarity and sweetness of the music is awesome, its not a setup made with bass in mind although this is not lacking and is more for clartity and a more natural sound. Total cost was £850 fitted, this included some extra soundproofing work (the car was previously dynamatted) and the car spent 2 days in their workshop running the system in pro…

Help!! My Cabrio is going well but needs insurance!! Can anyone recommend a decent broker or company that will take the Cabrio on. My present one has stopped doing classic policies!!

Got this picture last night of my headlights. Should get them back at the weekend :hyper:

question for you peeps im trying to source a drain in the car, and believe the fault may lie with the interior bulb light. it was removed when i bought it, put the bulb in, and bulb is always on. At night the door open light on the dash glows too - Question Time (numbered in importance ;)) 1.) Does the zx have a timer relay for the lights (ie close the doors lights on for 10secs) like many new cars? 2.) if 1=yes, where is the relay located 3.) if not - is it likely to be bad earth/sensor on one of the doors

Can I take the head off with the engine still in the car or is it best to take it out? Also apart from the bolts up the centre does anything else hold the inlet manifold on? Taken them out and the various hoses etc but still won't move????

Hi all, getting stuff in for when i pull the engine to do the tubs as i want to do a service as well i know what most items are apart from the air filters, I assumed they were the standard nissan part but someone told me nissan ones were flat pannel filters, what i have is a y piece from the AFM with 2 x cone type filters on, these have no markings on what so ever so have no idea what they are, wether they can be washed and re oiled? does this sound like a normal setup? Thanks

Can someone show me where it actually is please? I know its by the gearbox but just need to see where im heading for, Is it a jack or ramp job to swap it over? I thank you.

Just came home this morning...drove from dublin to belfast, and stranraer to newcastle on 30th June and back today and between those times i never saw one zed on the road...so disappointed that i didnt see anything!

We all know that Billing has been cancelled. My idea is to bring the Ferrybridge meet forward. I would like you thoughts on this because we are going to have to act fast to reorganise if this is what everyone wants?

can some tell me what this ORANGE light means, it says ANTI-LOCK it came on today, i think its something to do with the brake Cheers Nick
