My snooper always picks up the radar on the auto doors at Asda and at a certain set of traffic lights but I have been past all the local gatsos a few times now and never got any alert. Can these cameras be switched off most of the time? Paul

Losing about a pint of coolant overnight. Can't see anything dripping with it getting dark early now. Any ideas?

Oh crap! I spent days arguing with Nelson to get them to respray my front spoiler (the one they cracked the last time my Zed was in their care). Come hell or high water I was not going to pay for it and they finally gave in. Took the car in this morning, got a lovely Micra "Vibe" in return (laugh all you want but the headlights are MILES better than our Zeds), and when I went to pick it up this afternoon there was an even larger scrape and paint damage on the lower spoiler just infront of the passenger side front wheel! I scratched my head, tried in vain to imagine how that might have gotten there (as they would have just resprayed it), but could not make head of tail of …

Having just (10:12pm) come in from 4 hours in the rain refitting the headlights as pics below, I can report that it has been 150% success.The beam is now much wider and deeper the spread is even more impressive.I now have a clearly visiable lit area starting some 2 meters in front of the car to maybe 20 metres ahead! and the left dipping cut off remains ok, so ok mister Mot man and oncoming traffic.I am well pleased, I am off for a shower and a cuppa will be back about 11:00pm Jeff TT

Yo guys. Anyone know anything about after market alarms etc. Thinking about getting one of these engine starter things when you press the remote and it starts the car from your house, but have already got a thacham approved immobiliser with a transponder fitted. So car probably wont start. Anyone know if there is a way around this like wiring it up after the immobiliser or something. Cheers for any feedback. Must go and move the car now before the water levels rise and it gets flooded like me brothers car. Bloody rain.

Hi guys, When fitting an upgrade air take that eliminates the hole std box, what do I do with the sensor wires to stop it going into safty mode? A diagram of the loop out or reconnections would be pukka. cheers harve

Hello Z Boys and Girls While I had the front of the car in bits today, trying to find my siren for the alarm, I removed the front fogs only to find they are nothing but plastic shells WTF is that all about, I've never noticed until 2 weeks ago that they didn't work I just thought is was a loose wire. Is this normal or not, where can I get ones that work????? I posted recently that I thought my alarm was silenced, but no I've had a dissapearing siren thing, the only thing I can think of is that when I was hit by a bus in Jan, the work shop just cut it out not bothering to replace it!!bastards!! Thats my penny thought for the day regards JOHN

If you've not got the UK rear bumper what have you done for a rear foggy? I guess converting a reversive light with a red filter is an option...

I'm going to look at a 1992 UK ZX300.100,000 miles.Any tips on things I should look out for.Asking price is £5000 will take £4400. Does anybody know of a comparison chart between UK and Jap TT's.Is a UK model a better bet?

Got flashed by a camera on the A361 in Devon on Friday. The road is 2/3 lanes and it was positioned around a slight bend, facing forward on an uphill stretch with 2 lanes in my favour. i.e. exactly where you'd be overtaking a slower moving vehicle . I was doing about 80-ish in a 60 limit. So am now just waiting for the letter to arrive - how long does this normally take ? Now I'm deadly serious about buying a Geodesy thingy. How much are they and, Bob, where are you ? ------------------

Guys this DTA software is so tempting. You can change any parameters to the car. Traction, boost, rpms, fuel maps...everything I have just purchased a brand new JWT ECU tuned for 98 Octanes. I just hoped that I there was a software from JWT to allow me to change the parameters of the car in Real time. Maybe when I change my Turbos and injectors I'll buy the DTA as well. )

I buy my filters etc from Ajay Autoparts who in turn are supplied by Blueprint (OE spec Jap part suppliers) the last oil filter that I'm just about to fit cost £2.93 + VAT so if you're thinking about a filter change I bet u can't beat that price, get down to Ajays and stock up. Blue Print part no. ADN12103 Tim
