Question about front number plates
Fuggles, Those measurements you've quoted are the same as the link to the dvla site specs as posted by billynomates, and the wording clearly states, Certain imported vehicles may be permitted to display number plates with smaller characters if: The vehicle does not have European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval AND The vehicle's construction/design cannot accomodate standard size number plates As you can see I've underlined the important part, and the answer is, this bumper CAN accomodate a standard size number plate, although it would look terrible :eek: So if you used this as a defence, I think you could fall foul of the law. Personally I would also go for Clarkey's idea. HTH Dave

Headlight bulb replacement advice
No m8, I've done the full conversion, UK spec H3 bulbs in Dipped beam and Fog lamps. The Jap spec fogs are the same as Uk ones except that they have a female bullet instead of a male spade connector, so simple mod with a crimper :D Dave

Headlight bulb replacement advice
Well, as I've modded mine to uk spec, I have two old jap spec bulbs that I've taken out. If anyone wants them, they can have them. Obviously I give no guarantees that they'll survive long, but one does look newer than the other. Also my Z has been in the UK since 2000, so they've been in a while, unless one of the other two owners has used jap spec bulbs. Anyway give me a shout if you do. Dave PS - Sorry to hijack this thread.

I Got One!
As far as the rear fog lamps is concerned, this link is for converting the inner brake lamps to fogs, but still keeping all four brake, when your fogs are not switched on. Keeps the original appearance. Rear Fog Wiring Diag HTH Dave

Plane crash
As an airplane is about to crash, a female passenger jumps up frantically and announces, "If I'm going to die, I want to die feeling like a woman." She removes all her clothing and asks, "Is there someone on this plane who is man enough to make me feel like a woman?" A man stands up, removes his shirt and says, "Here, iron this". And another............. Irelands worst disaster struck today when a 2 seater plane crashed into a cemetery. Irish rescue workers have recovered 828 bodies so far. Digging continues. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Monkey Business
A man walks into a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink and while he's drinking it the monkey jumps around all over the place. First it grabs some olives off the bar and eats them, then it grabs some sliced limes and eats them, then it jumps up on the pool table, grabs the cue ball, sticks it in his mouth and swallows it whole. The bartender screams at the guy, "Did you see what your monkey just did?" The guy says, "No, what?" "He just ate the cue ball off my pool table, whole!", says the bartender. "Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replied the patron. He eats everything in sight, the little *******. I'll pay for the cue ball and stuff." He finishes his drink, pays his bill, and leaves. Two weeks later the man is back with his monkey. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again. While the man is drinking, the monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it up his butt, pulls it out, and eats it.The bartender is disgusted. "Did you see what your monkey did now?", he asks. "Now what?", responds the patron. "Well, he stuck a maraschino cherry up his butt, then pulled it out and ate it!", says the barman. "Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replied the patron. "He still eats everything in sight, but ever since he ate that damn cue ball, he measures everything first!" :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Next stupid question
Thanks billy, just read your post My speedo has mph as the large numbers around the outside, with kmh on the inside. But it reads in km's for the odometer, so i take it all that has been done to this one is the clock face has been changed then? :confused: Dave

Next stupid question
I take it you meant six cylinders, if so the answer is yes, everything else seems ok. Apart from my starting problem, which I think I've traced down to the fuel regulator or the injectors. Which is that when left for, say overnight, it takes a while to get the furl preasure back up, but once it starts properly, it runs fine. Dave

TBH Paul, that is what i suspected, but thought they came in lower than that, but could be wrong. Next thing is how do I remove it, and where is it? Cheers Dave

How to park a Ford Escort
Seen this one b4. And to quote someone else........ The tree looks a little weedy, so if the Escort hit it, with that much force to dissintigrate like that, why is the tree still standing???????????? And why is there only one mark on the tree?? I suspect a hoax. Dave

Next stupid question
Took her out this afternoon for a blast up the A1, and all seemed to be well. Untill some git in a Focus decided he'd just pull from the inside lane straight in front of me, toss** Then I let an artic pull out into the second lane, and this guy got away. Finally got past the artic, mistake letting him out, and floored it to find this Focus. Reached 120 reasonable ok, but then wouldn't go any faster :confused: . It was on full boost, but just didnt want to go any faster at all. By this time I'd past the Focus anyway, and my turn off was fast approaching, so didnt get another chance to test it again. Also when I turned off, I noticed the red warning light with what looks like an exhurst box in it came on, but went out withing a few seconds. Any ideas guys?? Thanks in advance. Dave

The Mother-in-law
One day the mother of three daughters wanted to test the loyalty of her son-in-law's. The first day, she was walking with son-in-law number one. She deceided to test him by 'accidently' falling into the river and pretending to drown. So as they were walking, she 'slipped' into the river. Immediatley, and without thought for his own safety, he jumped into the river and saved his mother-in-law. When he awoke the next morning, he looked out of his bedroom window and saw a brand new Peugeot 206 sat on the drive, with a note attached to the windscreen. It read; "Thank you, you are indeed a good son-in-law Your mother-in-law." That same day she decided to test the second son-in-law. So she went for a walk with number two son-in-law, in the same place, and did the same thing. Again, without thought for his own safety he too jumped in straight away, and saved his mother-in-law. The next day, when he awoke, he also looked out of his bedroom window, and there on his driveway sat a brand new Peugeot 206, again with a note reading; "Thank you, you are indeed a good son-in-law Your mother-in-law." On the third day, she, decided to test her third son-in-law. Again they were walking along the river bank, and again she 'slipped' into the water. While she is slowly sinking deep in the river, he stares at her thinking; "It's about time this witch died" The next morning, when he awoke, he also looked out of his bedroom window and saw a new car stood on his drive. It was a Porsche Carrera GT, also with a note attached to the windscreen. Which simply read; "Thanks, Pal..... Your farther-in-law." :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
