Drove over a bump in the road last night and all my lights went off and the high beam stuck permanently on. Got no dash lights, side (front or back) or headlights but high beam is on no matter where the indicator stalk is. Indicators and brake lights work but thats it, Any one had this before ??? :bow: :bow: :bow:

Morning people, Ive noticed that when I switch my lights on (or fogs), Im getting a belt noise - like a quiet squeal. Im presuming any heavy electrical device will cause this. Now I still have problems with a belt slipping (either power steering or alternator) - Im using some spray belt grip temporarily whilst I order new power steering belt as this was a cheapie fitted. Thing is - does it sound like the alternator belt wants replacing, It sorta gives a high pitch whine/squeal but not very loud when lights are on.

Hi people, After by-passing my heater matrix (thanks again to pk1 as his pics on the issue helped me alot) as it was busted, I've noticed that my A/C is not working. I just wanted to know if this is due to the matrix not connected or could there be another reason for this. If the matrix has got nothing to do with it, what do you guys suggest I should look at. Any help would be appreciated guys. Cheers.

UK manual TT........Had engine out and fitted pair of standard tubs which where fine on the engine they came off of. Car boosts up ok reads just over halfway in the + on stock gauge, i know stock gauge isnt a very reliable reading. What i want to know is what speed should i expect to reach in 1st gear when i boot it from a stand? at present i can get to about 25-30mph then engine just revs and the limiter kicks in, its quick to reach this speed but by the time i realise, the engine has reved and the limiter has kicked in. cant remember the car doing this with the other turbos before i siezed 1 up.

Zcentre only list the "Rear Perspex Strip Without B/Light" on the website now.

I am getting oil showing on one of my hard pipes, does this mean my turbo is on its way out?

after all these threads about knocking/det etc. im starting to get worried about a noise that my engine has recently started to make. if you rev, in gear, slowly up the scale, once it reaches about 2600rpm it suddenly sounds like an old diesel engine, exacly like an old diesel engine. this continues up the rev scale although ive only taken it slowly up to 3500ish before backing off. under normal driving it wont make the noise, even when i thrash the car a bit. it still performs ok and doesnt make the noise. it only happens when you slowly build the revs up, and again only after about 2600rpm. ok bring on the bad news :( EDIT: it makes the sound in neutral too. …

At 8.35am today, turning right from Quarry Bank High Street towards Merry Hill Centre.

Very annoying problem... I had to jumpstart my old prelude on the weekend several times using the 300zx. Since then my stereo doesn't work, my clock is very faint and "shimmering" and most irritatingly my air con turns itself off and resets to 25 degrees ( i have remote start and like to start the car so the air con makes it nice and cool by the time I get there....now its just freaking hot) Why? Why? WHY? :cry:

ok went for a drive and got back home washed the car etc went to move it and a horrible noise (grinding noise) come from the engine end.so turned it off and then started it again and it was very load. so turned off and had a look and couldnt see anything so started it again and it wouldnt start i.e turn key and it was dead.so thinking stater i put car in gear and moved back and forward and you could hear it ,took it out of gear and no noise in ,put it back in gear then put clutch down and noise went.got in it again and it started so quickly moved it in the garage . do you think its the starter totely buggerd or somethng else
