Hi Mark S, At least if the engine turning over then definately not siezed, thats good! Maybe not totally engine trouble free but a good sign! Hi Mark, my Z will do 150 just scares me what other drivers do! Arthur

Hi How many of the 100,000 ave you done in the Z? My Z has done 138,000. I bought car with 97,000 on clock (all MOTs)UK Z Arthur

Hi sorry to hear about your Z. I hope not too much damage to your engine done! Hope its not siezed up do to heat! Sorry not much help Arthur

Hi, why you not ave winscreen replacement on insurance? Cost me £50 & it was done same day at home! Arthur

Hi You might regret not getting a TT! Arthur

Hi Rude Dog welcome to the house of horrors! Have fun with your Z!! Arthur

All I have done is taken the belt off! Will replace it in the summer. Arthur

I would not get involved! Alex the advice given on here is very sound, say no! Completely taboo! Arthur

Same thought as Richard and good thing no damage done. If they had got in and stollen it I dont think your insurance company would have stood by you! Arthur

Looks GOOD!!! Logged on yesterday about 5pm and thought WTF is going on! Must be wrong site! logged off! Arhtur

Hi Eddie Hows it all going & what have you decided? Paul, not wishing to take info off Eddies problem Luke at Z Centre sell the CD manwell cost about £15 if you keep your Z you are going to need one for help & advice. The best place for help is this site! Arthur

First pipes to check would be the two matrix hoses at the back of the engine & bulkhead. These maybe in the wrong area but are the easy ones to see! After that looking further down at turbo hoses or back of engine. These are a mix of metal & rubber hoses. Other thing if you cannot see it when engine running & hot you will need a compression test on water system. Hope it helps

Eddie That is a great price. I paid more than double that! Arthur

I paid more for rear shim kit than the front shim kit! Rear kit cost me £42 front kit about £32 A bit peeved as the rear pads only cost me £27! Arthur

same thing happened to me change front bushes after one week i had to tighten tie bar bolts on both sides! re check! Arthur

Hi Would you please tell me what is their function? Arthur

Hi Mike In that case give Jeff a call at Z World sure he will help where are the technical guys when needed the most?! Arthur

Hi Front ones are very easy to get off & replace. Any local engineers will press out and replace your fronts for £10. Unless you have a fly press at hand. Dont know what the other ones are like! Arthur

Hi Mike I have just looked at the manwell This is what it lists 1. Remove oil filter & bracket 2. Remove engine rear gussets both sides, looks like a shield in the manual. 3. Disconnect A/C tube clamps 4. Disconnect steering column lower joint ect ect Dont know if that helps, do you not have CD manual from Z centre? Arthur

Hi Nick U mention silver Z, Andy Z had one for sale at a very good price under 5k! Arthur

Happy New Year to ALL!! I am out party-ing :dance: Playing squash at 4.30 Out at 7 Drinking at 7.30 Eating at 8 Club at 9.30 till 2 or pissed whichever is first:dance: :dance: Arthur

Hi Simon Sorry to hear about your Z m8t. I am sure you can get most if not all! of the components you want to fix it! Suppose it depends on any damage to the stucture of the car. Of course you will get some saying get it back as an insurance write off, buy a new Z and sell the bits off your broken car! make some cash in the process. Are cars are worth more in bits!!! I would say Andy is the first call, when you know what bits you want. All the best in the New Year Arthur

Hi again! With all the diagrams, pictures & my old engine, I think & the mechancs agree, that the pipe involved is indeed the turbo feed pipe at the back of the engine & bulkhead as AndyDuff said! So I have told the mechs they can get to it if they remove the battery. God knows what Nissan told them!! My only other question is, the rubber pipe to be changed is held in place by these self sprung clips! How the f--k do you compress and hold them open? then release them! Is this the use of those foot long 90 degree sort of pliers mentioned before? Water, Water everywhere!(not that bad, yet!) Arthur

F is F-----ooks:)

Hi Well done! I changed one in my VW Passat, took the whole dash apart! thought, how the f--k do I get it back together! Dont know that I would do it to a Z though! Very labour intensive! At garage!! So well done again Arthur
