I have been told i may have central locking, but if i have it dosent work. Have you guys??????

My £20 membership is on its way to Craig before you think I'm cheeky for advertising on this bit of the forum! Anyway, nothing too exciting for sale, just a PTU for £100. Oh, and if anyone running 18's needs a part worn, I have an excellent nick Michelin Pilot Sport 275/35/18 £60. (check out Kwik-fit price of £362!) Take it easy. James.

Can anyone help please? There's a strange noise which my car makes every now and then. It seems to happen when driving not particularly fast.When the turbo gauge reaches about halfway and then goes back again the noise happens then. I've been told it's most probably the turbo wastegate and is perfectly normal. Does everyone else with a TT get this awful noise (hard to describe but sounds like a metalic squeak only a lot deeper!!) This spoils an otherwise lovely engine/exhaust sound and I'm sick of saying to any new passengers,when they say "What was that noise?" "Oh that,I'ts only the turbo wastegates,I'ts pefectly normal(I think?)" Cheers, F.T.

Damn there are a few 300zx for sale on here at the moment and this old model 300 for £2200 LOL! http://www.findit.co.uk/cars/performance/sports/444784.htm

Something funny happening today When engine cold on startup but foot on accelerator and the revs drop to nearly 0 before coming back and increasing. Nearly caused me to crash this morning on roundabout. Saw gap on roundabout. But the boot down to go. The revs dropped instead of increasing car nearly cut out , and took approx 2 secs to recover. Anyone have this problem before Cheerz Roy

It's not just us who suffer from the expanding garage bill http://www.toxiccustard.com/diary/2002/10.html#24 and also on this guy's site, some purely tasteless thunder chunder stories... http://www.toxiccustard.com/features/vomit/ Right, I'm off down the pub for the traditional Friday lunchtime - who wants a drink? Must be my round by now. I know it's Stella for andyduff, how about you craig. And what's the Pedant having?......Come on Nelson, I'll even get you a packet of low-fat crisps. :) Cheers - Gio

Ive read a few articles on here regarding the centre bearing for prop and rear gearbox mounts causing a rumbling noise. I have this problem with mine and was wondering if the centre bearing is a Nissan only part and that of the rear mount. I thought the noise was eminating from the gearbox itself, but Ive been told by loads of owners now that the 5sp manual box is pretty much bullet proof. The car is a UK 1990 model and is approaching 100,00 miles. Oil has been changed religiously every 3000 miles so no probs with engine...although it does tend to idle a bit rough sometimes. Anyone any ideas on that? Anyone any ideas on cost for the parts I need and where is bes…

Got a problem in that when the car is idling, and is completely stationary, i hear a gurling sound coming directly from in front of the dashboard. When you open the bonnet up, there is a round black circular cover (housing?) attached to the body of the car directly in front of say where the dashboard is. What is this cover for in the bonnet area and why is the gurgling sound coming from it. Any of you guys got any ideas as to the reason for this sound.Anyone else had this problem before. How do i solve it? Cheers lads, and hope you can help.

Anyone interested in swapping a 300zx for my 928s????

Anyone interested in swapping a 300zx for my 928s????

my car is in for a overall respray( same color= cherry red) and fitment of a 99oem spoiler and SE monza rear spoiler.Just to have it nice and fresh, didn't have any accident or so... I saw the front yesterday without the spoiler and noticed the water tanks just after the intercoolers; yikes!!!(btw: these IC are TINY!!!) Out the water bottles go, as i think they must inhibit the flow trough the IC's. For that reason the car shop wil make an opening, a slit really, in the oem spoiler between the wheel arch and the blinkers, just like in the SE monza front spoiler. Now the question is: where do I relocate the tank for the windshield fluid? Would a container in t…

Are there any others that I should look at changing?

Hi Guys , i'm new to the forum and have just (yesterday) bought a TT. Well it was born a TT (i think) but they have been either bypassed or removed. It is a 1990 2 seater..... Engine #004058 I have a few questions for you all and need to know if i have bouight a lemon... 1. It hesitates all of the time. The guy who i bought it from told me that it is the alternator that is the problem.He says its a 90amp when it should really be 110amp. Is this the case? Also when i have the AC, Full beam, Stereo, and fog lights on its even worse. On thing i have noticed though is that when i open the fuel cap (when i go to put petrol in and open the cap slightly) i get about 1…
