Does Courtesy give shipping costs to the UK in their quotes? John

Thanks, I just tried pouring water down them.......they drain ok, I guess my rubber seals are fooked John

Those big (approx 1/4" dia) drain holes in the t-top gutter, where do they drain to? I tried to see if they are blocked by putting a small dia. wire down, but the wire dead ends within about an inch? Do they turn sideways? Thanks John

Thanks Eric. Cheers, John

Does anyone know if the coil packs on a turbo are the same as a n/a ? The reason I ask that is Courtesy do show a different part number for the turbo and n/a. Cant think of why they would be different, but I just noticed that the turbo ones are £32 more, well, if they are different, will they still fit? and if they will fit, will fitting just one turbo one cause any problems? Thanks John

What message are we trying to get across on these flyers? What would be the main 'thrust' of the flyer? Possibly, a) Sharing of techical knowledge and help to all the members b) A select group of quality traders allowed on the forum c) A great discussion area on a variety of subjects d) Regional 'meets' organised between members e) A commitment from the administrators and members to helping all it's members. f) One of the big selling points of this club is the tremendous amount of activity, in many instances members desperate for help have their questions answered within a few minutes. This does not happen on most other forums. In many instances I have monitored the dialogue between people asking for advice and noticed people local to the person with a "poorly" have offered to come over and lend a hand. g) This is a growing organisation, and one of the finest automotive forums in the UK These are a few of my thoughts, I do a bit of desktop publishing on the side, using Photoshop, Corel Draw, Quark, etc. I also have a high quality 24" wide roll feed colour plotter that is excellent for very small quantity photos, posters etc., that I could use for the odd poster that you might need for special occassions (free of charge) I would be happy to draft some samples up, if anyone would like me to. If so, add some of your thoughts to my list. Cheers John Dixon

Might be a good idea to get your Mydoom virus tool and check your computer, I just got mine of Symantec's site. Virus is supposed to hit tonight, I think. John

Stuart, California in particular has tougher emmision laws than the rest of the USA, but all that means is new cars sold by dealers in Ca. have to sell the california versions.It does not prevent someone in another state who moves to Ca. from driving his car that he bought in another state, (hich was not manufactured to Ca. emmision regs.) John

Does the tt have different coil packs to the n/a ? Cheers John

My car is a 1992 Import, but were there any series 1's shipped in the early part of the year? How can you tell a series 1 from a series 2 ? (na import auto) Thanks John

Where abouts does the battery ground to ? The reason I am asking is that I am going to replace the cable and wondering what length it is and is it a standard ring terminal on the end that grounds to the chassis. Thanks John

Which year is the series 2? John

Ok........Maplins it is..........I was just on their website, looks like they have a good selection of cables and clamps. Cheers John

Thanks Matty, Now I get it............Im off to Maplin (or Halfords) tommorrow to get some. Cheers John

Matty, Thanks, thats great........will do mine this weekend....are you sure about the wire size ? thats almost 3/4" thick ? Thanks John

Matty, What are the connection points in the engine bay, and what gauge are the cables? Thanks John

Do those grounding kits actually improve anything ? I mean, if you dont have a good ground, you would be having problems wouldnt you ? Anyone fitted one and noticed an improvement ? Cheers John

My first driving experience in the snow with the Z, and I almost got stuck in snow at the Asda car park. Even pulling away in second, no traction whatsoever, and we have less than an 1" of snow. Maybe 2 50lb. sandbags in the boot, one over each wheel would help.

Thanks James, keep me in mind when your ready. John

I found something that should give good protection to the wiring on the coil pack ends.......heat shrinkable plastic end caps, available in various sizes from RS Components. The size that looks about the right one (35mm that shrinks down to 15mm) for about £3 each, 5 min. order + £4.95 postage (unless you have an account then postage is free) John

I tried Courtesy, $58 per 4 coil pack wiring harness (must be Pulsar I guess) they do not sell just the cap. For that price I wont bother, will make something up that will protect the wiring. There must be something that is a similar shape that can be adapted. John

Thanks Stuart.....will try Courtesy John

Damn, I broke a coil pack connector cap........they are awkward to get on. Anyone know where I can get one? Can you do without them? what should be done it the meantime? tape over the top with insulation tape? Thanks John

Do the other types of cooking oil work as well as peanut oil for making your window seals swell? Thanks John

I replaced the t-top seal, the one that contacts the top of the window. But now it stands about 1/4" farther out than the old door seal, which it butts up to on either side. Cant believe the old seal had compressed that much. Now it seams I have to replace the door seal, has anyone successfully replace these seals ? seems they never go in right. John
