Gearbox all messed up
Does the hold light come on? I wonder if the switch is damaged? On another note if it is using hold mode, then it cant be using 1st, in hold the autobox moves off in second. If its using 1st and 2nd then it aint in hold.

'Check Oil' light
most odd, ive never seen that "check oil" light, does anyone know what oil its actually referring too? Or do you mean the oil can symbol? Just had a look through a UK/Euro handbook and the only warning lights to feature the word "oil" are "mission oil" (which is for manual transmission oil @ high temperature) and "diff oil" which is for the diff temperature and level i think.

You can look but I'm having it - a legend!!!
Im bit of a TVR nut... there isnt alot i wouldnt do for a Cerbera 4.5 in red rose spec... dribble.... I actually did an insurance quote on a speed 6 cerbera the other day (just the baby 4.0 straight 6) and it was palletable. Just need to find the 10k for the car now!

You can look but I'm having it - a legend!!!
for its performance alone its got to be in the region of 150-200k, (I think it was about 200k when it was new) however with the rarity factor i'd say at least 250k for it. End of the day, its well known that its the only road going version - the story goes the then boss of tvr took the finished prototype home and decided it was far too dangerous for the road and had them all dismantled, save for a few which were kept to keep the racing team running. This one i believe was a rebuilt one a few years later, sold to an enthusiast which had to be personally vetted by peter wheeler! I believe this one isnt actually the road going shell, it was rebuild from an older race speed 12!

Furking chavs moved in 3 doors down and are driving me nuts.
Jesus mate.... is there somthing you want to tell us?! Is that why morecambe's been so quiet of late! hehe Best thing to do is to stay calme and collected about it all, record everything you can and then present the dossier to the police with an explanation, id have thought they had to do somthing then - when youve done all the work for them!

Yellow NA (I think) in Doncaster
On the approach into doncaster this morning i saw a yellow NA (im fairly sure it was, looked like it had had the bottom lip painted black actually) on the A630. First Zed ive seen out and about for ages and ages!

wish me luck
lol, god knows how mine made it through last time, at the time had no horn, or head lights (lack of bulbs actualy... LOL) Massive play in some bushes (which have been replaced) and the hand brake is still pretty ineffective! Ah well, i think most MOT places realise that these old crocks never get driven that much!

pistons +rings how much ???
i have a question - those z1 pistons are slighty oversize, does that mean that the engine has to be re-bored in order to take them? Or whats the score there? Im quite fancying the idea of starting an engine build for my car, and giving it ago my self. Dont know much about it but hey, learn by doing! An idea ive had for tonight, not sure how much substance there is in it but i thought id ask.

Are 350Zs usually THIS common ? lol
Ah a few times now ive rung up our local "nissan" dealer and asked for parts for a 300zx and im faced with "whats one of those"..., pretty disgraceful really. Not like im asking for parts for a cube or somthing like that. The fact as well that i did find a dealer that knew what it was and then continued to insult me by saying "is that a big 200sx?". "No it is not" i replied, "its the forunner to that enourmous thing you have in the showroom called the 350z"

Are 350Zs usually THIS common ? lol
