Very strange this. 50% of start ups, the volts read 10.5 on charge while in motion. (i've the extra guages in ctr console added!) The other 50% of start ups & runs 13/14 volts going back to battery as is right. Is it a brush problem - alternator fubar! or is there a resistance test i can do on a hot or cold alternator to give another reason? It doesn't matter hot start or cold it seams only to charge 50% of the time, - if it diddn't work i'd buy another one simple. Any ideas, buddies. harve

You have mail (the postal variety too)

Went out at lunchtime for a cruise around the town centre to observe the local 'talent' and listen to some new sounds in the motor, (targas off of course!), only to find every man and his dog is driving around in topless cabrios etc. Anybody else notice the same where your living?. There seems to be an influx of topless Porsche boxters around here also. I followed a red 'G-reg' 300ZX on thursday going out of town towards Chilworth (clean your dirty zed!!). Anyone on here?.

anybody know the name of the place in Bristol that can repair my Nismo Exhaust centre section as i have a damaged area due to speed bumps!!

Those nice nismo exhausts on my 300 that you all commented on at Solihull have unfortunatly got damaged on speed bumps this week. i think that the seam has split and is now blowing. there is a place in Bristol that make custom exhaustes does anybody now the name of them i need the original s/s centre section repaired or a new one to fit regards allan

Oh dear, it's me again. My rear spoiler is shot. Paint lifting bubbling and cracking. Everyone says "the water's got in and is lifting the paint". Someone else says "once your OEM spoiler has got soaked, you'll never get it dry again and any new paint will fall off like the old stuff. Get a fibreglass one, it's the biz." Then looking at martinfa's post about his new pics over in the General forum, there are some v unkind words about f/g bumpers and Martin's off to get an OEM one. Now I know this last is about bumpers and not the rear spoiler but it has worried me. Is a fibreglass rear spoiler OK or does it have to be OEM? ------------------

Has anyone had the pleasure of replacing a rear axle oil seal ? as mine is leaking. i am a nissan technician and acording to the manual, the collapsable spacer in the diff has to be replaced , to do this means complete overhaul of diff assy. is there a shortcut where as a can still have correct preload on tightening input flange nut back up ?????? the sun is out and i don't fancy the car offroad whilst i rebuild axle !!!!!!!!!!!!!
