I think you where lucky. I have a tyre pressure reader in my tyres which tells me the pressure of all the tyres in real time. I got a pucture on the way back from Manchester and the unit detected a 3PSI drop and warned me. 1 min later it was down 4PSI. Another minute later it was down 6PSI and by the time I found a petrol station to try and pump it up, it was down 10PSI and I just decided to put the spare on. Stuart

I had all the boot and rear seats stipped out once so I took it for a drive to see what it was like. It was annoyingly loud and it wasnt nice exhaust sound I could hear. Loads of road noise too. For a TT, it was too light at the rear. Pulling off from traffic lights caused wheel spin. Flooring it was nearly impossible as it would just create instant wheel spin in 1st and 2nd gear. Stuart

Anyone used Worlds chat?
I have anti virus software but the virus creaters are always infront. And how do you think I knew I had a Virus checker. Unfortunatly by the time the Anti Virus creaters got around to making a definition for it, it had taken 20 or so system files which had to be deleted. Stuart

Z sighting
Red Z with a high rear spoiler, very much like MAC1's and a Stillen light panel. Spotted in Billinge around 7:30. I flashed my lights and I got a wave back. :D Any one here? Stuart

Best tyres?
Where you find £100? When I asked for 245/45/16 from Costco they wanted £197 each! Bridgestone S02 or S03 are superb! I am trying Goodrich at the moment and they are very good but they still have to wear in I think. They still squeel a little. Stuart

I have noticed a large number of people asking about NOS on this forum, AFTER the film came out, as if the film invented it or its a new thing. They put Nitrus in some Spitfires in WWII Stuart

Car starts then dies immediately, then won't start at all!
Here is the link http://www.ttzd.com/tech/diagnostictech.html Its really easy to do. Find the ECU (Electrionic Contol Unit) under the passenger carpet and under a small peice of wood (The only peice of wood in the car ;)) There is a small screw at the side of the ECU that is what you need to turn. Turn the ignition on so all the dash lights come on, turn the screw fully clockwise, wait 2 seconds and then turn it fully anit-clockwise. There is a little green light next to the screw which will start to flash, or the "Check" light on the dash will flash. It ill flash long flashes and then smaller ones before pausing for 2 seconds. The long flashes are the tens, and the smaller flashes are the units. So 5 long flashes followed by 5 short ones is code 55, which means all is well. Use the table on the link I have given you to find out what code you have and what it means. I think you should get a code 21, 2 long flashes and 1 short one. The link tells you how to perform the diagnostic and there are helpful pictures, but they go into detail about mode 2 and mode 1 which is not really needed. Stuart

Melissa, The same thing happend to me about 6 weeks ago, but mine first died on a busy roundabout :( and had to get towed home. Same problem as you, if I waited it would start and then die seconds later and not start again. I was perpaied to pay loads of money for a now PTU before some one on the forum suggested giving it a clean first. The connections where blue and green and not a nice metal colour. After cleaning the contacts with the sand paper and WD40 the car started first time and even ran slighty better after. Stuart

Power Transistor Unit. The link to the US site is below with the part in question. http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=22020-00Z32&Category_Code= This is a common problem and is 99% of the time the cause. You can run an ECU diagnostic on your car and it will tell you if the PTU has failed. Do you want information on how to do that? Its easy and wont take very long. Stuart

Sounds like the PTU. Very common problem. Located on the front of the engine on the left, there is a black or silver square about 3 inches by 3 inches with a big plug either side of it. Take that box off and clean the contacts with some sand paper and WD40. Clean the contacts on the plugs too. Put it back on and try again. If not the PTU may be broken. Series 1 (pre 1992) ones are more than likey to fail then the seires 2 (1992+). If it has broken, you can buy one from Nissan in the UK (Presuming you are from the UK) but will cost you a hefty amount, or AndyZ is alwasy selling Z parts. He may have a cheap used one going. Or a 3rd option is buy one from the US link here. It will be a series 2 PTU and is a lot cheaper than buying it from the UK but may take a week or so to get here. If you dont know much about cars, the PTU sends a very strong current to the coils which sparks the plugs. If the PTU fails there is no spark and in burned fuel is sent down the exhaust causing it to smell. If you are driving with the engine warm and on a hot day when the PTU fails, the fuel usually gets burned up in the exhaust causing very loud and worrying bangs to come from the back. Stuart

Which footballer are you?
You are Rivaldo You're one of the best players on the planet. You lead by example and you're way too refined to rake your studs down anyones shins. You do sometimes have trouble passing the ball to lesser players, though.
