ps i've heard of peanut butter:confused: :confused:

I think the peanut butter will make it sticky and thus seal it.

 

Personally I wouldnt want any peanut butter smell in my car or have it stopping water getting in.

 

I personally use Auto Gylm bumper care which can be used for all your rubber seals. Do it on the window ones and it makes them all nice and black again. Really finishes off the car.

cheers i'll try that

your local to me where do you get your Z serviced etc

Most things I can do myself, pads, oil change etc.

 

 

I have taken my car to a place called C&S Wood for a clutch change. They did a great job at a very good price, and they clean the car too :D

 

Its in Astley which is going towards Manchester. Its about 1/2 a mile form the East Lancs

any chance of a contact no please:) :) :D

Ask for Phil. He owns a ZX so he knows what to do.

GPS are also good and in the same area, but I think you will may be waiting for a while for any work. I believe there is only 1 mechanic and they are very busy at the moment.

do you know how i can stop my targa top from leaking its pi££ing down here:( :( :( is there an adjuster on them ??

Depends on where its coming from. Mine used to drip every now and then but its starting to piss through.

 

Personally I think its a replace rubber job. I think its the ones that go all around the top of the t-top on the roof because it goes down the A and B pillar slight and is supposed to direct water down a drain hole in the rubber, but mine doesnt and it ends up inside the car. I have emailed Courtesy Nissan in the US and they say $220 for the seal both sides.

 

Thing is that I am not 100% sure this is the problem.

 

Stuart

thanks stuart

 

would Phil be able to do a hub and bearing change ????

 

Andy

So far hes done cluch change and decat on my car. I am sure he can do that.
