Evening all, The heavens have just opened up just now so can't go outside to rummage around my own zed so I'm hoping someone online knows the answer to my question: What is the bulb spec for JDM fog lights? Is it a single bulb operating twin filamints (remember they are also running lights) or are there two separate bulbs in there? The bulb type (ie H1, H3, etc) would be most helpful. Edit - just remembered: What is the standard wattage of the main beam (H1)? Is it 55W or 100W? Many thanks for your help! Dan

My car has been running fine since i have had it. The tickover has been excellent and sounded fantastic but this morning on the way to work the engine started to judder. The rev counter while stationary which usualy sits at about 750/800rpm was dropping to 500(and lower) then up to 1000 and back again. this then changed to drop lower eventually making the car stall. Now the car is running fine from cold but when it warms up to normal running temperature it starts again. I can drive if i brake with my left foot and keep the revs up but gradually as i drive the car looses power and i need to switch it all off and wait for it to cool down. It then works ok for a bi…

as you's know my car has had an intermitten running fault for a while now backfiring missing hesitation and so on a lot of you suggested maf (which is what i thought) but couldnt track down why UNTIL NOW the maf has been getting wet (easy to figure out huh) well think agian it would run great when there has been no rain, but when it rained it still ran fine (thats what got me confused) could splash throgh puddles and would still be fine, but last week my boss has been on hols so my car has been parked in the lock up all week (whilst im working) pull it out in the rain and it was still fine but today i parked it in the street (on a bank) faci…

Hi, Ive found a 94 uk auto. Its on 125k however, which is a worry, but apparently it has just had a nissan service, and has various history etc. Says its totally standard and from the pictures looks it. My questions are, its up for £3.5k, it this too much? I deally i want a UK one, and from a garage so i can part ex my current car for it, plus have some kind of comeback if it blew up on the way home etc. A bit short of time since my insurance runs out on the 20th and i dont want to renew it only to have to cancel it a month or two later.

Whats the verdict on these. Very cheap £100 for 2 including P+P and fitting kits.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8012472560&sspage Bart..
