My brakes are playing up. I reckon I need a master cylinder and maybe even disks and pads all round. I've tried the numbers in the traders section with not much luck, does anyone have any suggestions where I can order these parts from?

Don't suppose some nice person has a Conzult available that lives fairly close to me? I am in East Sussex about 10 miles from Tunbridge Wells. Cheers Chris P

my front windscreen wipers failed me on the way to work this morn, they dont move at all - sounds like the motor itself is moving though? Is it a case of popping off the 4? screws on the black plastic surround in front of the screen? Does it sound like spline has rounded off? They are very stiff to move by hand.

Hi, When I do a full power kickdown in my '90 TT auto I can hear a rythmic gentle chiming sound from somewhere on the passenger side like a computer error warning.Any ideas what that may be? Regards from Australia.

has anyone else got a noisy interior when they get in it in the cold mornings? i have a lot of squeaks and stuff till she warms up..mainly where the door plastic meets the dash and by the seat belt on the door..should i grease it up or something? anyone know good stuff for this? that trim cleaner stuff doesnt do a thing

Im gonna do some light work on my zx next year..anyone have any good options? I was thinking front: reflector light mod (zedworld thing) rear: round lights, but what options do i have for reverse and fogs? currently ive got a red bulb in one of my reverse light blocks so reverse looks like one set of bulbs isnt working which is not ideal...are there any useful light options so that i dont need to get the UK bumper and wiring stuff done? Cheers, Rob :dance:

Guys, What do you think of this http://www.autotoys.com/x/catalog/KEYPAD_STARTER_KILL_LIGHTED_p_317.html I like the look of it and think it would be quite a good bit of extra security for the very cheap price, might enquire to see if they can post to the uk. What do you reckon?? Cheers Ant

Changed my spark plugs today and did a compression test while I was there. First time to do one, but I think the results are OK. Anybody want to share their opinions? Back 155 165 160 150 150 145 Front Previous plugs were in a pretty healthy state so that's always promising :)

My 200SX got eaten from the inside out by rust. By the time it bubbled through it would have cost more to repair than the car was worth. Any idea how to stop my 300 rusting as winters coming and the roads will be salty? I saw some underbody wax sprays and ones to go into gaps in doors etc. Are they worth using? What about spraying WD40 under the car or hosing down the underside regularly? Any other advice? I can't take my car off the road and can't afford another one. Thanks!

I Recently Installed A New T.p.s On My Imported Tt. Using A Digital Voltmeter Reading Between .45 And .47 And Various Settings Inbetween I Have Been Unsuccessful In Getting The Car To Change Gear Without Revving It .any Help Would Be Much Appreciated

Hi all, Ive just took my spark plugs out to have a check (HKS S40i), rite the tips all look like needles, now im not an expert on plugs and i know some are supposed to be like this but does anyone know if these are supposed to be like this and i bet they are expensive too. Thanks Hanksy

...on a '90 TT import which models had which and why did they change? cheers yaseen

Hi, Quick question how does the bonnet panel above the air filter come off? I popped the bonnet & removed the 2 screws underneath but the panel still seems to be bolted at the bottom front end. How/where do i access the bolts?? Also i noticed that one of my main front light cluster units is loose when the bonnet is up. How is it secured to the car body?? I assume the previous owner has left some bolts/screws out. I had a quick look at the other side but it is as dark & cramped as an elephants armpit around that area :) Thanks Barry

stopped at some lights...2nd zed ive seen in ricky only! The other ones mine :)

Hi I am going to replace my spark plugs and am going for the PFR6B-11B. I can get them from courtesy just wondered if any traders sell these. Also can anyone tell me if there is a gasket that needs to be replaced when removing the balance bar? Cheerz

I've noticed over the last few days that my clutch pedal has an expanding "dead zone" where there's no resistance at all. When had a drive earlier, almost half of the pedal travel had no resistance. The gears engage and disengage without crunching. I had a similar thing happen a while back on my old BMW - found it to be a failed slave cylinder. Could it be the slave cylinder on its way out here?

Can anyone tell me if the AC gauges from Chris's group buy are calibrated to the sensor that came with it? I thought they would have been but have been assured that they will work correctly with any sensor. Cheers Chris P

Queuing up for petrol in Tescos. I was a couple of cars ahead of you, but not in my Z. Unfortunately, it was far too busy there to come over for a chat.

and wot do each do? yas

Hello folks, I'm looking to buy a 300zx sometime soon, but it would be very helpful if anyone could advise me of any things to look out for. I don't want to buy an import as it's too much to insure! At the moment I have an imported MX5, but I regularly drive a 350z (and previously a 200sx), and would like to have a 2 z household! What do you think? J-G PS I have £5-6K to spend. :cool:

what are the options? something i'd really like to change, I've put together rest of my bodykit (thanks to mickeyb) and stock look out of place, and i don't think veilside ones will work either.
