It might help to know that Mitsubishi have just announced a recall for Shogun's ('92 to '99). Letters (via DVLA) are going to all UK model owners first and then to all import owners. A replacement steering part and an hour's labour is required - all free of charge, even for import owners. If Mitsubishi can treat import owners the same as UK owners then why can't Nissan ? Dave

Hi Guys, Just wondered if anybody knew anything about alarms, the questions I have are: Whats the best alarm for a convertible? Can I get one with a built in turbo timer? Can I get one that will retract mirrors on arming and have a separate boot opener switch? I want one where it will ring my mobile phone on activation and will activate if the car hood is bumped? Anyhelp would be appreciated with fitters suggestions and prices? All the Best, Mark H

Hi all - sorry to trouble. Days ago, I found the tech on how to take the orange dome out of the front J-spec indicators (to put Silvervision). Muppetly forgot to bookmark (red wine attack). Tried here, AndyP's, australians and yanks. Eyes gone tired, brain turned to mush. Any pointers? TIA ------------------

Anybody have any dealings with the Z. centre for bodykits ?

What would you choose? 1986-1989 MR2 Mk1 1989-1991 MX-5/Eunos I can get a MR2 Mk1 for about a grand and this guy can convert them to LPG for £650- http://www.mr2mk1club.com/LPG.html . But the Eunos(import) is quite cheap and some are autos(suits where I live). Cheers Trev

Heres a question, I remember reading a post somewhere (lost it now) that if you replace a JAP speedo with a UK one it works fine and reads in MPH no problems, is this the case or am I finally loosing it.

I'm considering having a km/h to MPH conversion carried out on my car but I'm not convinced that it's technically a good move. I have a couple of doubts about it. 1. I've been advised by one supplier of a speed convertor /de-limiter that they use a 2/3 factor of the speed sensor signal to change the speedo read-out, surely this is a pretty poor approximaion of the correct 5/8 factor. 2. Also, the 2/3 signal is the fed to the ECU for delimiting purposes ( the speed limit data is held in the ECU?),surely this will result in incorrect operation of speed controlled items (Hicas, auto transmission power steering) as the electronics will think the car is travelling 2/3 slow…

A young lady in the maternity ward just prior to labour is asked by the midwife if she would like her husband to be present at the birth. "I'm afraid I don't have a husband" she replies. "OK Do you have a boyfriend?" asks the Midwife. "No, no boyfriend either." "Do you have a partner then?" "No, I'm unattached, I'll be having my baby on my own." After the birth the midwife again speaks to the young woman. "You have a healthy bouncing baby girl, but I must warn you before you see her that the baby is black". "Well," replies the girl, "I was very down on my luck, with no money and nowhere to live, and so I accepted a…
