Is it an auto? Could it be something to do with the switch that wont let it start when its in drive?

The trouble is even a good DIY bodywork repair usually sticks out like a sore thumb. Are you gonna spray a small area or the whole arch? Can you match the colour perfectly? IMO its best left to a trusted bodyshop.

Mine are still in same place too. I cut off a wire from a wire brush to unblock and adjust the four jets.

Hooray for jock, nice one, me too:D :D

Just read that thread, so everyone hates fireworks being available to the public, ffs nanny society we live in. They're gonna ban smoking in ya car next , serious. How about lets all just stay in bed every day and not bother living.

I know what your sayin but its only once a year after all, cant we have a bit of fun pleasey?! Dont let them ban everything!

36% so they say I see there's a few ignoramuses around! Lets remember you cant choose your sexuality or change it, i mean you cant choose what gives you a boner lol. Most gay people arent the stereotyped effeminate camp types you see on the tv, but average people - mechanics, builders, whatever.

I had an rx7 turbo11, its a 2.3 twin rotar, loved it! The last rx7 has a 2.6 twin rotary engine (2 x 1.3) Does the rx8 only have a 1.3 then? sure its not a 2.6? Anyone interested in buying an rx7, make sure its very low mileage or had a recon engine because the tips of the rotors do wear out usually around 70 to 100k miles. Recon is about 2k.

The expansion pipe is the small diameter one just above the rad cap. Try pullin it off an blowin in it - the water in the expansion tank should bubble, then suck and you know its free to come back if you get a mouth full. If that works ok surely prob has to be faulty rad cap not opening under vacuum?

I used to be with Bell on another car, but when they quoted for the Z (import) they were way too high, about 800 quid , that's nearly twice as much as i pay now!

I changed from Jspec to uk rear wheels with bridgestone s02's. The tread in contact with the road is no greater on the new 245's than it was on the old 225's exactly as gio says. But the wheel sticks out an inch wider each side of the car and handling does feel even stabler now. Plus IMO they look better filling out the wheelarch.

kmh - i was gonna post same question! Mine is exactly the same, blows loads in the footwells but not always from the centre vents, dont think it blows on the windscreen tho without hitting the demist button. Still dont understand why switching to econ makes it steam up even when its set to fresh air - it does tho, i thought only recirc would steam you up.

Heya, I changed my wipers a couple weeks ago, now have a pair of 21" PIAA silicon ones, they were 50 quid but worth it , no more annoying squeeks or juddering!

Have owned Z 6mnths, done 10000 miles. Very reliable trouble free cruisin! Have done : 3 oil changes new air filters tyres all round brake pads piaa bulbs / silicon wipers lambda sensor new radiator (plastic inlet split!) About £1400 so far.

The actual rad is fine but started leaking from the top hose yesterday. So i unscrewed the jubilee clip from the top hose and pulled it off the rad and the bits of broken plastic from the rad inlet fell to bits! Maybe previous over tightened the jubilee clip, dunno. But i guess i need a whole new rad , so does anyone know the best place to get one? Thanks, Trev.

Ive just put SO2 's on the back, what a difference ! They're like glued to the tarmac. Also the best looking and safest tyre ive seen , so solid with 2 ply sidewalls , i just hope they're not being discontinued?

Ive never voted conservative before but i will do next time. Atleast they say they'll build much needed new roads and raise speed limits. Does anybody know what percentage of the UK workforce are civil servants under this government?

Ive neva seen another yello one on the road. Some would say good, but i luv it:)

LOL what happens when you get women drivers at a mini roundabout? Ans - they all sit there and look at each other! they give way to the right and the left, funny. what happens when women drivers pass parked cars ? Ans- they give at least 8feet of clearance and force oncoming traffic to swerve into the curb. what happens when women drivers are following a slow moving tractor? Ans - they cause huge tailbacks because theyre terrified of overtaking . Just my honest observations - sorry to all competent women drivers.

Thanx , i'll take a look at whiff now

Hey jim, thanx was that with the tyres on aswell?

I asked the guy at the shop about porterfield and he'd neva heard of em. Where d'you get yours james?

Kev, Try Keith Michaels ins. 02086427868 He's a broker and the cheapest i found, done my tt import for 450

I know its askin alot but does anyone know the weight of a stock 8.5inch rear wheel with a 245 tyre on it? :D Its just that parcelforce will take up to 30kg for 25quid ( 2 wheels to send). hmmm , should the tyres be inflated with helium? hehe

I need front brake pads, my local parts shop said Tarox are very good , does anyone use them here? Or any other recomendations?
