Mate at work has a zed, as i do. rang me this morning, he's in work, he cant turn it off !! Had probs last night, alarm kept going off, so disconnected battey. Today, couldn't get key out. Disconnected battery, engine kept running. Disconnected fuel pump, kept running ??? Took out main fuse - one with the blue wire, still kept running, like it had a life of its own !!!!!!!! Eventually found ingnition coils thingy (not fuse, cant remeber name at mo). Engine stopped. However, ignition lights wont go out, still couldnt remove key. Disconnect battery, and can get key out. reconnect with key out, all ignition lights etc come on again ?? Any…

:headvswal Have just spent the whole of Sunday, lying on my back trying to bleed the air out of my clutch system. Was working okay but i had a leak from the hose going to the slave cylinder. Changed the hose and tried flushing though, but the Clutch pedal does absolutely bugger all now. I could only find the one nipple (on the slave) where is the other one as i couldn't see any more? BTW my cars a 91 J-Spec. The anoying thing is, i need to get this sorted so i can take my car to Topless to get the leaky downpipes changed. Any help is appreciated....

smoked again :headvswal :headvswal

Phew just back from donnington park (british superbikes) wicked racing anyway.......... Is there anyone on the list or trader section who knows a good source to make some proper carbon parts/ I am looking to do a simple front splitter that would also replace the front under tray, a bit like the R34 V-Spec UK one, and a rear diffuser to clean up the flow under the car, but crucially still keep a stock look-ish. Also my workshop manual shows front brake air-flow guides attached to the front tension rods anybody got them on their Z ? Mine are missing,,,,,,,,,,, :( Chris

sorry about this, i know Clifford is dirt on here but its driving me mad! When i got the car i didn't get any instructions for the alarm so i just used the on/off button. there isn't realy a problem with the alarm but i'd like to change some settings and i dont know how. I've had a look at the online manual for my model but it talks about entering Valet mode using your pin number via a rocker switch mounted on the dash. I don't know what the number is and even if i do i cant see the rocker switch anywhere. All i can see on my dash is an LED and next to it a 2-button rubber switch. I thought this was the switch i needed but the manual says it's a 3-position …

Hi people, just got some 18" rims. They're all 8" wide but would like to know what are the best size tyres to fit. :bow:

I'm just finding out about my new car -all the things the previous owner had got used to and probably didn't think twice about. I've already asked about the autobox today. I washed the car and hadn't noticed this previously - the driver's door where it meets the front wing seems to have a very slightly bigger gap than the passenger's door. It seems to be very slightly 'pushed in'. There is no sign as far as I can see of any accident damage at all. Is this 'normal' - I mean for both doors to have very slight differences in panel gaps, or does it indicate accident damage. I had a good look at the car, in the engine bay to that side, at the door hinges and couldn't see anyth…

saw you on my way back from the pod, gave you the thumbs up :)

This really is a simpleton's question, but can someone explain to me in really simple dense people's language what the overdrive button does, and also what power and hold are for. I kind of have a vague idea that the power button holds the revs at a certain level but I really don't have a clue. I don't know either how you are actually supposed to use them when driving. I would be very grateful to anyone who could explain it to a moron. I'm not sure how smooth the auto gearchange should be. I seem to remember on my auto Soarer it was very smooth - so much so that I can't remember noticing when it changed up at all. On the 300 I can feel it change and the note of the r…

silver z driven by a middle aged man poss in his late 40's early 50's standard looking car.

I have done a search with no luck as yetm but will look again - I have not driven an automatic zed before and I just wondered how you check/fill the automatic transmission fluid. I also wanted to top up the Power steering fluid level, but it's a right pain to check the level- I can see the scale on the rod under the fluid resevoir cap, but I can't tell how much fluid is in there, which I guess means it needs topping up. There are two little plastic washer things that seem to get in the way. Do I just put in a bit of standard ATF?

advice needed guys: 1. my battery keeps running out if i dont use the car for4-5 days. I am pretty sure that there is nothing on in the car. this happens every week. could it be possible that low water levels in the battery are the cause. 2. i have the INSANE badge on my car but want to get another one. where can i get one? cheers guys

Village on the a170 between (Helmsley, maybe?) Scarborough and Thirsk. 6.10 pm saw a black one. Was travelling the other way in my new purchase - 1992 Pajero. Surprised to see a scots registration down south. Usually see the english reg cars come further nort with each sale. :) Nice car.

Has anyone done a write-up about this- I had a search but couldn't see one in the FAQ section. Is it something that is so easy it doesn't need instructions, or is it a pain?

would a set of de-cat downpipes for a TT fit an NA? Also, are the connections to cat back section standard ie would the rest of the standard exhaust fit or req mods? not too knowledgeable about exhausts other than which section is which :( any help appreciated. ta
