My indicators are not working, but my hazard lights are :rolleyes: , I have checked the fuse next to the accelerator pedal and its fine, where should I look next? Also my headlamps are acting up, the drivers side one is dim, both bulbs are functioning but not the same as the passenger side (which is working fine), I have checked the fuse for these also, could this be related to the a high beam fault off the indicator stalk? Was hoping to get it through the mot this week but not going to pass with these faults. lol.

I have looked and searched but I can't see a 'browse' button anywhere on the edit screen. Can anybody help me please! Dave

Hi guys, have a problem with my speedo/power steering, which i think is(fairly) common.. About hlaf the time whilst driving, or from start, the speedo stays at 0 or wanders up and down, finally staying at zero. After about a minute, the power steering goes "strange" ie VERY light or VERY heavy. Normally heavy. From reading other posts, it looks like the speed sensor in the gearbox(?). Is there anyone locally(witley, nr guildford) that can fit a new one or diagnose the problem more thoroughly? Cheers, Tony

Anyone ever changed their springs and rear suspension? Really tight for money so thinking of a DIY job. Already taken out all the rear plastic in the boot so i just need to change the rear struts and springs and the front springs. Think i might need a spring compressor but not sure. Also the struts are OEM so will they still work with the rear one click stiffen rear hand brake nonsense? Cheers Alex

I know what i've got to do but am wondering if anyone knows where i can get a couple of bungs or something similar i can use to plug them off? :confused: Any suggestions greatly appreciated :bow:

Is this possibly the best racing game ever??? in my opinion hell yeah, one thing that lets it down though is lack of cars for sale. Where is Toyota, Ruff/Porche, Honda, Aprilla, Yamaha, Bmw etc. etc. some big names are missing from the game. Apparently there is a Skyline but you have to download it prehaps there will be more to follow. Apart from that it's awesome, the inside view is the only way and it reminds me of "The Duel" on the snes. wow pretty much sums it up. Right lets get some xbox live names going so i can add you all. I think i am Jaffaz32 but it could be Zeeebra i'll check tonight, haha yes it's 3 e's in Zeeebra didn't you lear…

can you can em for the Zed??? :smash:

I remember reading a thread on how to fix the dash near the vents which clear the front windscreen using buldog clips and an adhesive. I have done a search and looked in the storage area. Does anyone know what thread it was Thanks Konrad

Here's a strange one. My car will completely cut out while I'm going along. Although it only seems to happen when I'm parking or pottering along. When I start it up again it's fine?? It's only done it about 3 times in 3 months but I'm worried it may get worse. Any ideas?? Bart
