I took my car to Zedworld in Tamworth to have a 60k service. I collected the car after having to walk around Tamworth all day in the cold, only to find that when I started her the next day, the new auxiliary belts were slipping. I have now got to travel all the way back to Tamworth just to have them tightened up, costing me another £50 in petrol and other expenses on top (drink etc)! I am NOT happy at all, this really shouldn't happen. I spoke to a guy there, and he spoke to jeff, who first said that he wouldn't re-imburse my expenses, then when I said I wasn't happy with that, came on the phone and said they MIGHT consider it IF it was there fault!! How can replacement b…

Does anybody here did that? Do you think I could find a kit bolt on for my 2+2?

Right, since most of the front end of my car is now it bits, I just as well replace the crappy Datsun Cherry 1.3DX horns. I took one off and it only has one connector...being crap with electrics, I'm not sure how to wire back in twin spade connectors to a single spade wire...?? Do I just run one of the to the body of the car with a random wire??

Does anyone have a number for Zee. Its just about something i ordered from him. Thanks Bird

Could you please PM me your e-mail address ?? Ta :)

1.Trying to get the front tension rods off but the bolts wont come out as they hit the intercooler piping. Is there anyway that these will come out without having to move all the intercooler pipe work? 2. Trying to do a boost leak and im using a car air compressor, the ones you plug into the cigarette lighter. Anyway it won’t hold any pressure and I can’t hear any leaks from anywhere am I doing something wrong? Boost leak detector is on the intake pipe where the maf was. The car would reach full boost at about 4-4,500 rpm. Could hear the usual whistling noise associated with a boost leak. Thanks Paul

I think I need to top up my brake fluid, which type is recomended for j-spec Zs? thanks. snx.

Team, I finally took the plunge and am adding a Ferrari 456gt to my car collection. (The kids legs are getting longer too.!) Trouble is I really want to keep and store the Z and keep it looking as good as possible for as long as possible un-wrapping it for the occasional blast into europe etc. The ferrari will take the garage space that my Z currently lives in so i need some advice and help on the best way to keep a car rust-free etc. (LOL i know i will need the info more for the ferrari than the Z but at least it is Ally and carbon fibre body!) It seems such a minefield for advice about storage with conflicting advice e.g. heat the garage, de-hum…

finding recently that when ive been driving around town my oil pressure gauge is just dropping down sometimes and sitting flat then give it a little bit of gas and the gauge will come back up, sometimes it will stay up or just go back down, constantly checking oil and its not losing any oil. Any ideas what this could be cheers Ryan

Coming into town on A689 and going down Brenda road into the industrial estate. Reg was something like TCZ ****. Looked in very good condition.

Had my car "chipped" and it only lasted 280miles and then the drivers side turbo fell apart. Now its going to cost £1500+ and 10 weeks without car :( (5 have past) What i'm asking would you stay std or keep the "chip" if you were me?

Ok I have to admit I have not done a lot about this problem as I have been on holiday. I intend to give it a good dose of looking at this weekend but thought I would ask again 1 more time. The heater does not get warm. Heater matrix is not bypassed Coolent level is spot on The car gets warm and registers on the gauge The aircon works(I know this means nowt but I thought I would throw it in) All suggestions welcome Cheers

Ok, so I took the rubbers out before the car was resprayed. I now want to clean the outer bits of the headlights, now that the bumper's off, but how do I take the headlights out? I see there are two bolts at the front, are there two bolts at the back...and if so, how the hell do you get to them? Ta
