I have a lovely Momo steering wheel and the guy I bought my Zed from, Chris Foster, kindly agreed to swap the center cap on my newly bought wheel for a cool Nizmo one (as this looked daft on his Escort Cabrio) After we had got the business of exchanging hairdresser gags out the way we swapped, only mine got lost in the post Now I feel like a complete c*** and was, in a long winded way, gonna ask if anyone knows where I can buy a standard Momo center cap? Thanks for reading this far, you are more patient than me Glen

Hi GuyZ, Just thought I'd post this after my latest experience. You may or may not have seen that my petrol filler neck tube thingy was completely rusted away. Anyway, the reason I'm posting this is to suggest that you just keep an eye on things down there as it is well hidden away and I had no clues whatsoever until the pipe was completely goosed Only a five second job to remove the arch liner at the back and check the condition etc - god knows how much fuel I've wasted cleaning the roads with it... The problem would have come if some fuel had splashed onto the exhaust and gone up in flames.... I wouldn't have been very happy then A very quick check would…

Just wanted to know if any of you have gotten rid of your space-saver and replaced it with those "tyre-weld" canisters in case of a flat? I'm thinking of getting a couple of those canisters but will it actually fill a 245 size rear tyre enough to get to the nearest petrol station for some air? Anyone have any experiences (good/bad) with them? Thanks! Danny

Have you seen the indiglo dials that are being developed in the US??? They look fantastic. This pic is of the day but he said that we will get a picture of them at night soon. When he makes them for the UK TT I'm buying. Am sure if we get a few we could get some money off. Is there anywhere where we can buy them here? Stuart

Does anyone here know if off-timing has any influence on mpg's? I'm guessing that my timing is off (need to find someone with a timing kit)after having the timingbelt replace a few months back. I'm also noticing that my exhaust pipes are turning black ... possibly related? All of a sudden my mpg seems to have gone out the window. I just got back from Oxford (80mile journey) doing a very steady 75mph (on cruise control) and still went through more than a quarter of my tank! Seems excessive as I used to be able to get to London on that amount. Just seems odd to me ... Later! Danny

Since having installed a ZCentre provided kph->mph speed converter my odometer has been acting up. It'll work fine for 40-70 miles and then stop. Everything else is functioning normally. Usually it works again after turning the engine off, letting the car sit for a while and then turning the engine back on. However, I've been driving the past two days without the bloody thing working and it is really starting to annoy me. Any suggestions? I have already looked at the back of the speedo binacle and all the connections seem fine. Cheers guys! Danny

The sideskirts on me TT (the bit with little dents in it) is dirty and looks pants. Tried to clean it with regular warm water and some car shampoo but no dice! Can anyone suggest a way that actually works ... coz right now I feel like sandblasting them. Also, why the hell did nissan make the bottom half with dents in them ... As always your comments are most appreciated. Cheers! Danny
