Help and advice needed to remove oil spill from driveway. Any suggeestions please.

L REG on the motorway m6. at around 12.00. nice car.

Had one of those kenwood dvd headunits with built in 7.5" touchscreen fitted and working was fine, then this morning , there is a message on the screen saying : Disconnected cable found - Please confirm a connection line . Ive checked all the leads seem to be ok but also noticed my amp in boot wasnt on either , checked the inline fuses on the amp and on the amp itsself and they are fine , Amp is earthed fine too but still no lights on it . Any ideas ??

Anybody know how the feck you remove the gear knob on a manwell ? I've twisted, pulled, pushed, yanked and even had a pipe wrench on it with a rag and marked it and yet it still refuses to come off. Am I missing something ?, left hand thread or something ? Help please CheerZ Paul

wondering if anyone knows of a digital dash available for the zed or has anyone got one? i know Vauxhall did do one in the astra GTE mkII and the Carlton GSI. love to know if we can get hold of one. Or possibly a fibre optic dash. :bow: :bow:

I think it was the M40 and not the M42 but hi anyway - nice to see a Zee cruising along :)

Think it was a grey Z again jap import with 2 big exhausts, saw you at chiverton cross roundabout then came flying past you in my Red beast!!! :D

Grey Z with big rear wing parked up in someone's drive opposite the Jet garage in Agar road - redruth!!! Think you had 18" wheels on there too!!

Does anyone know where the pollen filter for the 300zx is???

I'm looking at a few vehicles in Japan but not entirely sure of how to go about buying them. Is it best to employ an agent to do the buying, if so where do you find a reliable one? Andy

Seen Sat 8th at the smallish roundabout by Bookers in Shrewsbury...A very nervous passenger and a nutter giving it a bootfull in the rain :headvswal I was in The blue Chrysler Voyager. You prob did not see me but respect to you in the wet chap !!

Black Z spotted around Southport way, first on Lord Street, then on the Coast Road...... welcome to the gang Andy :dance: Dave

Coppins Road, Clacton. SUnday evening about 17:30... Lovely colour, nice wheels... Anyone on here...you went past as I was parking....

Red Z travelling south past J19 aproaching the elevated section, high spoiler looked like Lambo rear lights but by this time I was looking in the mirror going north.

black zed last sunday 02/10/05 on m40 around 11pm ish southbound?

OK probably a dumb question, here goes, I noticed that many Zeds on here had big alloys yet on many of them the rear wheels seemed to be in under the arch, so would it be possible to put on spacers to get them to stick out a bit to give it that wider look? Is there a downside to this? e.g.

I have put on my wheels, but I'm still worried about the camber on the front wheels. What is the best product to correct this. Are spacers OK, or should I get camber arms, or should I take it for a wheel alignment first before I do anything? Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved on this.

Simon, I need to source an oil that shows the same characteristics at room temperature (~20 deg C) as engine oil at typical operating temperature of a turbocharged diesel engine (~100 deg C). I need it for my final year project at university, hope you can help. Thanks Yaseen

Do I take it a boost controller will eliminate the need for boost jets? With a chip and boost controller i'm hoping i can run it on 95 oct at stock level, and if I want some fun, fill the tank ,add octane boost and set it to a higher boost, so i will be keeping my engine safe. Sorry for stupid question, but I've done searches and read a lot about boost controllers, and because I cant get optimax or anything over 95 oct here it makes it a bit more complicated.

has anyone managed to make a custom sub box for the boot? I made one today for a 12" sub, fitted in the space on the left side nicely but it's a bit rough around the edges (i'm no carpenter) so i'll probably cover it in carpet soon. Amp fitted nicely underneath in the foam compartment. Just wanted to see what other peoples installs were like. I've also got a problem with my amp, it's got 4 RCA's-in for channels 1-4 but no matter which way i connect the RCA's from the stereo the sub seems to act as a speaker with mid and high range. I thought subs were only suppost to output bass. I've also twiddled all the buttons and knobs but there's not been much difference. …
