Hi Marigold gloves! For extra grip!! Arthur

Uh!:confused: Arthur

Hi My Z - UK TT 91 Just looked at tyres, rears worn more than front, ok My tyres on front are 225/50 16 rear 245/45 16 see the F1 tyres for sale are 17s so no good for me?:(

Hi you mentioning valves I got those alloy valve covers that rotate & need a tool to remove them. Trouble is if they try to get the valves off & fail!! Will the ba***rds slash my tyres! Arthur

Hi Vinz Thanks for that Same to you and wife and forum members Arthur:)

No 6 failed on me! UK TT 91 Arthur

Hi Had same problem afew months ago. First changed to poly bushes- still had vibes! Changed front pads-still got vibes!! Then changed both discs, vibes gone:dance: Arthur

Hi How much do you pay for full synth oil? Only ask because I paid £27 for 5 litres at partco. Two other shops wanted £33. Arthur

made us smile! Arthur

Hi As Robtor said could be air in system. Changing pads will not cure air in system if u had this problem before with your old pads. Old brake fluid I think loses its property. New brake fluid after a two or three years needs changing too. I think first, apart from leaks would be to bleed the system, could be wrong though! but thats what I would do. Arthur, I aint no mechanic.

Hi Dafty Great idea! I did 23,000 miles in my Z first year!!:) Cost me 10x more in petrol then my micra! Siraff, I think I will give this a go. I will put the engine mount back in place so it holds the engine firm, then place a rubber hammer under the jack & a wedge bar in fly wheel. If that aint good enough I will get some rad weld!! Arthur

Hi all! I need help & advice. I have my micra in garage,1200cc auto. cam cover off, engine in car, I need to get the fly wheel off so I can change the water pump. How do I stop the fly wheel turning whilst try to undo fly wheel nut which is at 9.2 kg torque! Do I need a special tool I have tried to put a jack under fly wheel to hold it with no luck! I cannot put it in gear like a manwell! Please help this is my daily runabout and with it off road it does mean I get to drive my Z more:) Arthur

Hi Richard Do the headlight washers only work when lights are on? Did you find the extra water tank? Ive had my Z for over two years & I have never checked them! Arthur

Hi why can't you just place the name on the forum? You do not have to say any derogatory things about them! I have been in this position; the advice given to me; Send your letter (which must be registered) to them with your problem & cost of repairs, give them a set time (2 weeks) & if they do not reply in this time, state they leave you no alternative other than to take a court order out on them. In your letter explain you wish to settle out of court if at all possible & depending how much you are taking them to court for (say £1000) say that you are willing to settle for £800. If it then go'es to court you have shown, persever'ance, patience, willingness, ect, ect, which only reflects you in good light. I believe there is a max in a small claims court, & a court order is about £40. This might not be everything but it may help a little. Good luck Arthur

Hi all Even more:D Jezz, I am in the process of replacing my Micra cylider head. The bolts on the exhuast side of cylinder head looked bad! Out of the 5 I managed to salvaged 2 so I had to buy 3. Nissan did skim the head for me at £30, which was the same price quote as an engine firm who are 15 miles away. For the past 2 weeks I have used my Z for daily driving as my Micra is off the road. My skill is not with motor mechanics & the last time I did an engine de-coke was on a MG ZB Magnette! Arthur

I do Folkestone to Torquay 270 miles on a tank no light on!

Just as I thought No one knows!

Disgusting!

Replies bring a :) The bits came to £17.80! Ok not right up into the score bracket but still a bit much!

Oh GOD! end of working day, now forgot how to spell name! Arthur

Thats it then its 0w40 oil change weekend! Cheers Arhtur

Thanks for that. My needle drops too quickly all the time! Thats fast or slow!

Greasy spoon best breakfast! MacDonalds crap! Burger King is better than Mac! Arthur

Hi Now my Z is a TT auto UK. I use 95 unleaded, why? because I thought that was the recommended fuel. It says this on my petrol cap. Is this wrong?

Hi, thanks for ideas So I checked the battery tray and tubo pipe, all sound glad to say:) Had to go out lunch time pulled up on drive & same thing! Got big light under bonnet to look & left engine running, problem found! Bottom matrix hose connection not tight enough & as pressure builds up, water spraying like fine mist around back of engine & onto exhuast. My DIY! :slap: Arthur
