Injector connector replacement
Hi Chris.The best loom to go for is the 95 type manual as it will have plugs already for later injectors,A series 2 ptu and CAS unit.OEM ones can be bought at Z1

Injector connector replacement
Chris ,If you plan on keeping the car swap the loom before its too late and they are obsolete.

Auto to Manual conversion
I measured one today with a straight edge and feelers and it came back at .011".I have no idea if its been machined before though.

Auto to Manual conversion
The flywheels are not flat. That has been skimmed wrong I am afraid

My daughter calls it Toothless the Dragon: My ‘95 TT Z
The first one i did took me hours and cut me too ribbons removing it,Such a satisfying job though knowing you are future proofing the car for many years.Anybody viewing this who has a sketchy loom should roll their sleeves up and get it swapped before they go obsolete.Top job Nick :cool2:

Time to tackle all the jobs I did not want to do
The best way to remove the rubber bushes is set fire to them using a plumbers blow lamp,Push the centres out after then hack saw through the remaining sleeve.

Cant seem to find the right tie rod/steering rod for my 300
The rod you have bought is generic and probably fits another Nissan model also.If it has enough thread then cut some of the excess off it is not dangerous to do so.

Clutch problems?
Happy to help Chris,it has worked many a time for me in the past.

Clutch problems?
Chris you need to kick that clutch pedal like a ginger step son,It will knock the air back to the resovoir quicker.If you still have a small amount of air, a piece of wood holding the pedal down overnight works well.

Retro estate
I always found Skoda seats woeful.After all its based on a more expensive platform but cheaper so costs have been cut.After a 200 mile drive i could barely stand up my back was so bad !

Which spoiler
It fits like a welly in a shoe box Lee ! it looks perched and wont sit flush with the boot edges,And in order to reinstate the 2 trims that clip on the boot lip you have to leave a gap by setting it further back, then the spoiler sits to far back it hangs over on the rear so the line that flows from the rear lamps into the spoiler ends up a step.

Clutch problems?
A braided line is readily available to replace that,However it may have cost you a master cylinder also.Cylinder bores wear over time and a lip can form inside.The loss of fluid causes the cylinder rubbers to travel past the lip which can flip them rendering it useless.If the fluid rises in the master when its pressed rather than drops its quite ightly its toast i am afraid Chris.Give it a try first and dont be too quick to write off the master when you struggle to bleed the system,And believe me you will it can be a pig !!! I use an Oil can thats soley been used for Brake fluid and back bleed the system from the slave pumping the fluid back through the system with the bleed points open.You will still have to bleed it the conventional way after but it gets the system filled quicker.

Orbital polisher advice
Richard, its a fine art polishing a car correctly.Before letting rip on that new paint perhaps buy a used bonnet from a car breakers yard and practice on that first.Watch some tutorials on Youtube and see how you get on.Orbitals are a lot safer but you still need to be careful on swage lines or edges.Or even ask Craig he has a green and blue zed with paint you could not possibly make worse :lol:

New exhaust - possibly....!
Do not get the Japspeed system Richard,All the ones i see are rotten.Made from old toasters and kettles no doubt.Very inferior stainless of the lowest grade possible.That UK zed is worthy of a far more superior exhaust in my opinion :cool2:
