Hello guys, I'm sure someone on here said they could get hold of cheap standard pads, but I can't remember who. A friend is looking for a set of front and rears, so if anyone can help, please let me know. Cheers Vijay

For those of us who are interested, I have now got a price from the SMMT to extract all chassis numbers, model numbers and the GCZ / GC2 mistake from their master database supplied by the DVLA. Why do we need to? Simply, the DVLA database is wrong. So it's nice to know. Also, suppliers might find this info useful to plan their purchases / marketing. Lastly, it sometimes comes in handy when trying to persuade the importers of cars like Nissan Motor GB how important the grey import market is to them and their dealers.

What should the vacuum guage read when idling (hot and cold). Mine was on about -8 psi when warm a couple of days ago which seems nowhere near low enough. I've changed nearly all the small bore hoses recently and am at my wits end as to where else I could have a vacuum leak.

HELLO EVRIONE I HAVE A IMPORTED 300 IDO NEAD A PETROL TANK FOR IT . MY ONE AS A BIG DENT AND THE PETROL CLOK DONT WORK PROPELY ENIMOR TANKYOU ------------------ ROB 300

Strong smell of petrol under the bonnet, even after driving 20-30 miles. Hoses between the fuel filter and plennum area were all replaced about six months ago with some decent clips that can be properly tightened. Any ideas where else to look. Perversely fuel comsumption is ridicoulsy low with the fuel warning light coming on at 330 miles despite me trying to hammer the hell out of here recently. Power does also seem down.
