Parked in driveway on Kingston Road (I think it was called) in Epsom??

I got a phone call today from my friend who is also my mechanic saying he broke the key will trying to start the car. Is that a special key or can i find someone to make a copy on a standard key?

Halfords are currently running a promotion for a RipSpeed DVD Player. rrp = 300 down to 150 including fitting. It's epic. Screen is a small but works a treat. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_243853_langId_-1_CarSelectorCatalogId__CarSelectorGroupId__varient__categoryId_31445_crumb_31265-31371_parentcategoryrn_31445 Only drawback is that it's a tight squeeze due to the shape of the centre console. Once I get my brushed aluminium dash kit it'll look even better. Picture quality is excellent. For those of us to Lazy to stretch the 6 inches or so to press the buttons there's also a rem…

I need some advice on purchasing turbos for z32 manual uk...I have been offered two turbos (new) at a good price and they are auto turbos;my car is manual.Question being :Is getting these a good idea ? any one with experience on how the auto ones will go?Also to consider;my other turbos seals went due to straight through aftermarket exhaust fitted,so these new ones are going to contend also with the same lack of back pressure...with the auto ones being smaller will they cope/decrease performance?.....Any advice or views gratefully listened to as I don't want to keep the vendor waiting,actually need to move rapidly on this.Thanks again

Just about to go through the painful process of getting the Zed's body looking perfect when I remembered that I need to find out about this stuff. My car is a '94 N/A imported in November 06 and there is a sticker in the rear side window for Polymer Sheik. I have looked it up on that there interwebnet and it's obviously some sort of body protection, but my Japanese is none too clever, so can only actually decipher the "polymer sheik" bit! :( Any one know anything about it, whether it's safe to use 3M hand glaze on it to get the colour back (it's black) or else (real long shot here....!) read japanese :shock: so you can translate for me :bow:

Specifically the back 2 by the balance bar - I've got the other 4 off and I want to replace or at least clean these last 2 up as they have poor connections which I think may be causing a misfire..... does anyone have any tips on how to do them as the metal clip is facing away from me and I cant easily pry the clip out.... also - I've come across this website that looks like they stock injector connectors - can anyone verify from the pictures if they are a match or will fit with any modifications as they are very well priced..... http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.co.uk/VWPweb2000/connectors/photo/4145.jpg or if this one fits as its a bit larger but has…

Been offered one of these Dirt cheap, simple question.... are they any good and worth some of my money! I also take it will need seting up by some one in the know. Cheers Neil

I am fitting 3 gauges to a pillar pod and was wondering rather than making one engine coolant, plumb it into the auto box. Anyone done this? Cheers John Crisp

Does anyone know if Garrett or someone else make a Variable Vane Turbo for the 300ZX ? I think Garrett call them VNT's. Lloyd

Hi all. Wondering if anyone has any diagrams/photos of the fuel delivery system. I get a strong smell of petrol in the cockpit when the windows are down. I've checked the exhaust side of things and there dosen't seem to be a leak. Help, there's only so many Magic tree's that I can hang off of my rear view mirror. :(

Plans to ban cars older than 10years from our roads -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Banning/restricting cars over 10yrs old. This is on the .gov website too. "Several EU proposals across the years are dangerous to the classic car movement. One that has been under consideration is to ban the use of cars older than 10 years. Similarly, Edinburgh City Council is considering the banning of cars over 15 years old from the town centre. These, and similar, proposals directly threaten the classic car movement, and encourage the manufacture of new cars, with the attendent environmental issues of sourcing raw material…
