over the last few days a water leak has appeared im having to top the radiator up a litre an hour, at first some one said it could be condesation off the aircon cos it leaks all over the passenger floor well, it seems to drip a little and sometimes it gushes out like a mug full at a time, by the looks from what i can see it comes out the ducting for the aircon but dont no alot about it really and when i get in to start it the screen steams up fairly quickly, i would be grateful ov any help as im useless lol.

I've got an oil leak caused by what Nissan think is a shot main gasket, but they won't progress getting me a new one because my car is a Jap spec (90, NA) and so their "brains have caught fire" (as someone else has put it elsewhere on this site). Is there any difference between the NA engines in UK and Jap specs? If not, I will crib a UK serial number or part number, if someone could oblige please. Thanks for any advice.

I am going to take the front disks off the car this weekend and get them skimmed, had enough of my teeth chattering when i brake! Just wondering how much can he take off i.e what is the minimum thickness it can go? It's a 1990 Z32 TT, Manual.

Sorry James300 i know that you recommended them but here's my story. My Z went in with door damage.Their estimate was for a new door and labour etc. all approved by insurers. They said they'd need the car for about a week, no probs so i gave them about a months notice before taking it in, plenty of time to order parts etc.?? They actually took FOUR weeks to complete work saying that they had two damaged doors delivered and blamed probs with staffing.But i was happy in the end cos door looked great. After getting Z home noticed that remote alarm had been rewired wrong and was arming when unlocking. no probs i thought, just take trim off and swop wires,so i did..…

Help! the wheel studs/bolts that were put on as an emergency measure after my rear wheel nuts sheared off on the M6, need replacing, so i rang up Nissan in Warwick as no local garages want to know the actual studs are cheap as chips, I already have the new wheel nuts (thanks Mr Feeny) guess how much plus vat?? to re stud just my back wheels??? 250 quid ... bloody hell so basically that's just virtually labour *cough* is this about right or what? i really want to sort this wheel thing out, as i've had way enough problems then i can put some lovely 17" wheels back on .... i'll make sure I get a proper mechanic to fit them this time!…
