Just had the cam belt changed on my Manual TT. I now notice a slight missfire around 4.5 - 5k and have also noticed it going flat at 6K. The engine used to pull clean through the rev range prior to the belt change. Both symptoms are very intermittent, but before i go back to the garage and ask them to look into the issue, is there anyone here who has had similar probs?

300zx z32 non turbo when i removed the exhausts for repairs and replaced cat back with turbo exhausts i had trouble removing 2 sensors from the cat. so like an idiot i am cut through the braided wires coming down through the floor around the center consol. so my question...... how would NOT reconnecting these sensors effect the running and ecu stuff. not too bothered about lack of proformance of fuel consumption but more importantly, would the co level and all that be ok to pass an MOT ? what do people do with these wires when they fit them pipes instead of cats ? Thanks Danny

It on a road just above the M4, Runs pretty much along side it. Between J15 and J14 and is roughly north of membery services, These are the names of places around here... Peaks down? Gore la Farm? Bailey Hill farm? It looks like a farm but has loads of recovery vehicles there, This bloke has loads of zeds and i mean LOADS!!! I see different ones there everytime i pass there and as you can see in the pictures he has some mental ones, I counted about 7 there today. Have allways wanted to pop in and ask him what he does with them all but i never see anyone there in person :(

What do people use when putting the front two water pipes back on, the ones just below the pulley covers with the sensors in. Is there supposed to be a gasket behind these or do you use gasket sealant and if so which 1 ? I think mine have been leaking behind these although I am replacing the two rubber hoses there as a matter of caution.

Hi all, Ive got a 89 spec import TT and the autobox is making a whirring noise at idle and has just started squeeking like a metal upon metal sound in drive and it also vibrates over 40 mph and slips under full power most of the time. Im fearing the worst on this one(new box needed).Fluid level is fine. When the gearbox is in drive and i take my foot off the accelerator it seems to disengage the clutch so to speak and the revs drop to idle,but in gear 2 when i take my foot off the accelerator at speed it doesnt disengage but slows down with the engine braking it....is this normal.. If my autobox has indeed died does anyone know of a good condition second hand …

Where can I get a couple of the racing type towing eyes, as my stanard eyes are no good with my body kit.

Just seeing if anyone would be interested in Zippo lighters engraved with the zed logo? I remember somone else doing them a while ago... I have the use of a professional engraving setup which can engrave pretty much anything (can even engrave .jpgs) I have had my zippo engraved with my avatar pic on one side and a big Z on the other (as soon as i have my pc back up and running i will post a pic) Gauging interest at the mo but if enough people are interested and the mods dont mind as i am not treading on toes(dont think so anyway) i can go ahead with this. Anything metal can be engraved but i was going for the lighters first but could do keyrings or plaques …

Hi guys, it's been a while since I called in but i've been in Oz for the past 3 months backpacking! Anyway, before I left the UK my Zed (see below for spec) was hit by a slow moving lorry. The only damage is the paint on the front bumper and the panel between the headlights is crumpled. There is no other damage. It took 3 months for the insurance company to write it off and a (small) cheque is now in the post for me. They are allowing me to keep the zed. So my situation is this, i'm skint after travelling and I am doing low paid temp work with a 30min motorway commute do I a) keep the zed using my pay out money to repair it and keep it well serviced, b) chuck it …
