I just spoke with them and they won't insure Jap Imports :headvswal

Hi All Just thought I would let you know that I had the battery replaced on Wednesday night and everything has been fine since. Thanks for everyone's help. Spencer

So what do you think is the problem? Surely if the RAC guys say it's charging then the battery is fine. So is it the alternator? Spencer

Hi All I recently had the front brakes on my zed replaced and when I went to pick up the car she wouldn’t start. The garage was shut and it was late a night with no one around so I called the RAC. He said that the battery was dead and jump started it for me with no problem first time. He stated that the battery was charging ok, but suggested that I drove the car for an hour or so and that would charge it up. I did that and when I got home I turned off the car and then tried to restart her again and she started with no problems. Next day I went out and she was dead again. I used my mate’s car to jump start her (she’s an automatic so no pushing involved here) and again she started first time. Drove her around for a bit again and stopped at the garage to buy petrol and she started first time again. Next day she was dead again. Someone suggested that it might be the alternator so I jump started her again and drove her for two hours. When I got home disconnected the negative lead and hoped that she would start the next day. Next morning I reconnected the lead and she started first time. I have been doing this for a few days now, but this morning the last couple of days she didn’t start again. Sorry about the long story, but I thought I would give you all the facts lol Any ideas???? Spencer

very helpful lol.

I never go anywhere near the expansion bottle, I just check the water level in the rad. It went for an MOT recently, so myabe the add in some water. What is the expansion bottle for anyway? Spencer

Hi Guys I appear to be dripping a liquid from the front near side just infront of the wheel arch. It appears to be clear and doesn't smell. :cry: I haven't used the aircon and the radiator water level stays contant. I've had the front brakes done - new discs n pads, but the liquid is not around the wheel and brakes are fine. Any ideas??? I can post photos is someone tells me how to. Spencer

So are they the same as UK one's?????? Spencer

Hi Guys I have a Fairlady and I need to replace the discs and pads on all four corners. The problem is that no-one can get me a price as they say the rear discs aren't listed. Are they the same as the UK disc and pads or are they a different size? If they are different can someone suggest where I can get them from? Better still can someone suggest a good/value for money garage that will do it for me. Oh by the way I am based in surrey. Thanks Spencer

Yeah that's the baby.

Hi Guys Can someone remind me of the link to the page that discribes the different types of zed. Want to find out if mine is a Z28 or Z32???? If that's the correct termanology. It's a 1989 and has the seatbelts fixed to the door Spencer

Hi Guys Had 4 new tyres put in at the weekend, but Zed was too low to get onto ramp for tracking. I have a few questions:- 1) Does anyone know a got place near Kingston to get tracking done? 2) Is there any speical requirements on the rear due to the HICAS? 3) I assume I need the front and back done - any comments? 4) I have be told about a place called Brookland's BHP - any comments? Thanks Spencer

Hi Don't think there was a clunk, I mean it doesn't feel like it is changing down gear or anything. Spencer

Hi Guys I'm driving down the motorway in my automatic twin turbo and she is cruising at about 3,500, then all of a sudden without warning she will increase revs to 4,500 but she doesn't get any faster. After a few mins she returns to normal and the does it again. Oh and I have had a new/old engine put in recently, don;t know if that piece of info is a help or not. Any thoughts????? :headvswal Spencer
