Luke, if you're watching, are Z centre's full leather or vinyl backed? Does anyone know an upholsterer in Hants area who will fit it all? Anyone interested in a group buy? Cheerz guyz.

Hi guys, as a Z newbie but not to much of a bad hand with motors, i got home this morning just as my headlights and dash lights started to dim, then car started running real bad as i got on to my parking spot then conked out. After investigating i noticed when i put my meter over the batt terminals, i was not getting any charge from the alternator. car will jump fine and run for a little while then again die. so my conclusion is most proberly the bushies but the odd escort or cav wouldnt be a problem, i just about found the alternator on the Z. any body ?? oh by the way, its a Z31 1986. 07980800027 [This message has been edited by stuie.buckmins…

Hi, both dipped head lights blew Friday evening, I noticed that the aircon display flickered when I went to Halfords for the new bulbs. A quick check on the US bulliten boards suggested overcharging, my multimeter showed 18.5V across the battery during idle!! So I guess I need a new alternator? or could it just be the voltage regulator? Have I missed something in the diagnosis?, Any recommendations where to buy the parts please?

Any idea how much I should pay at a garage for this?? Cheers Ken
