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!! Tried the usual suspects - Carole Nash (wont do it) Adrian Flux (non classic policy only & EXPENSIVE)!.... Most brokers/companies dont even know about the Cabrio so if it aint on the list.... Thanks in anticipation. Regards Rob.

just recently my anti lock light came on and now my brakes are playing up. i started the engine and theres a noise in the boot (well it sounds like its coming from the boot) so i start to pull out this drive and the brakes go soft and i hear that noise again, then i take my foot off the brake and it goes back to normal again until i put my foot on the brake again. its ok when im driving down the road and i use the brakes. (the noise sounds like an arial going up) please help someone cheers Nick

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

Black Zed with gold alloys spotted on A30 near Mitchell in Cornwall. Not seen this one before.

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.

We all know that Billing has been cancelled. My idea is to bring the Ferrybridge meet forward.

Hey guys Just got my car back from Simpsons, they reckon 1500 quid just to get it road worthy. And then more to get it up to scratch. They also reckon that the power quoted by the guy I bought it off is dreaming. I bought off this site cos I thought it would give me some kind of assurance but nope. Front leaking oil big style, front end crashed and bent and repaired to cover it up, hicas dripping fluid where the pipes have just been cut off, suspension stuffed and brakes stuffed. And thats just to get it road worthy, they havent had the engine open yet Im not holding my breath. Am gonna get it fixed I think and rescue the car but just thought Id pu…

Can anyone tell me what parts I need to fix this, and what it involves. ie if I had the new parts, is it a job that any competent mechanic could do or do I need to take it to a specialist. Thanks to anyone who can help. :cool: Colin
