That's more like it - I am available any Saturday and Sunday apart from the dates I listed above..... And to add, I might also be unavailable on Sunday 15th December too as we're doing our annual pilgrimage to the Bath Christmas Market on either 8th or 15th; depending on Julia's floristry course!! .....So now we have some really positive interest, what's everyone else's availability like in the run up to Christmas? It'd be good to get this booked as it's the first Thames Valley (I would have used the abbreviation TV, but thought better of it...:lol:) meet for bloody ages!!! If everyone above can come, it's already on the way to being a good gathering..... Richard:cool2:

....And after my reply in your other thread just now, I popped down to the garage to shine a torch through the rear wheels. And yes, my rear discs are showing signs of limited pad contact on the outer face - with a very deep ring of rust on the outer edge of them. The "clear" area is a band of only an inch or so around the centre of the disc. Which probably explains why there was nothing wrong with the fronts when I last had them looked at - although the new Brembo discs I had fitted on the fronts only 10k limes ago are now showing signs of wear as quite a lip has formed!! How are you fixed over the next couple of weeks for taking a look, please Jeff.....:wink: Richard:ohmy:

Thanks for that Jeff..... .....Off to look at mine now; as I think my rear brakes have seen better days....:wink:

Yup - and I also know of another 11k miler on the forum..... PhilP owns a black ZX that once belonged to the Sultan of Brunei - that is a UK spec car, on an H-plate with only 11k miles on it!!! Richard:cool:

I'd just like to add, there are a couple of days I'm not available myself..... I cannot make Saturday 30th November, Sunday 1st December or Sunday 8th December...:oops: Richard:cool:

Hello SC members..... I'd like to organise a Christmas meet at the Red Lyon near Hurley, if anyone from the region is interested in joining us..... http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?173540-Red-Lyon-Christmas-meet&p=1780504&viewfull=1#post1780504 Richard:cool:

Hi all SE members..... I'd like to organise a Christmas meet at the Red Lyon near Hurley, if anyone from the region is interested in joining us..... http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?173540-Red-Lyon-Christmas-meet&p=1780504&viewfull=1#post1780504 Richard:cool:

Hi everyone, After a few comments on the subject, I reckon we should try and hold a local meet at the Red Lyon in Hurley before Christmas..... Perhaps even a proper club lunch!! What does everyone think; and what day should me make it for? Please register your interest below; and that includes the South Central and South East members, plus anyone else who is within reasonable driving distance of Hurley (near Henley/Maidenhead - about 10 minutes from M4 j8/9).....:cool: Richard:rockon:

....Agreed..... That and the weather....:biggrin:

D'oh - sorry Mark.... ....I get you and Darkside confused. Now where did I put my brain medicine....:oops: Richard:cool:

Glad you got it sorted Rich - and thanks for your continued support mate; both as a subbed member and stepping up to the REO plate as well..... Richard:thumbup:

Yup - paypal is automatic...!! Thanks for your continued support Neil; it's much appreciated mate!! Richard:cool2:

Good luck mate - I hope you get it sorted.... .....And please do keep us informed of your progress:sad: Richard

Never mind Ian - as much as you miss it, it's always nice knowing that it will be a better car when you get it back!!! Richard:cool2:

Wow - that WAS close mate!!! I'm so pleased that was all the damage to your car as it could have been a lot worse..... Good luck with getting the dent fixed though mate. Someone was certainly smiling down on your car yesterday!! Nice ZX too by the way - any more pics??? Richard:cool2:

Nice one Gary - I must try a set of those myself......:wink: I have done nothing on my ZX today - but yesterday I took it for a spin to the rural quarters of deepest Essex!! We visited Audley End House in Saffron Walden..... I'll pop some pics up shortly:biggrin: Richard:)

Sorry, yes - it is an overflow tank and not a pressurised expansion tank (my mistake above); but the explanation Fraser linked to also referred to it as an overflow tank....:wink:

You're right mate - it does.... I remember JeffTT mentioning it in an earlier thread somewhere.... As the engine cools down, coolant is sucked back from the expansion tank to restore the equilibrium in the radiator - but it can take some time. So best test the level after the car has stood cold for a few hours mate! As for the coolant level, it should be just below the rad filler neck when cold - and about half way up the dipstick in the expansion tank.... One tip I got from Jamie at Zedworld was not to turn the rad cap to its fully closed position - apparently over time the filler neck can get a little worn where the rad cap sits at fully closed; hence coolant can seep past it under pressure. So he suggested I leave the cap about 5mm to the left of fully closed..... :wink: Richard:cool2:

Looks a tidy job Allan....:bow:

Hmmmm - we have to look into that, I guess..!! But many happy returns mate; I hope you have a great day!! Richard:happybday:

LOL - women....:rolleyes:

Sideways...?? Never seen wallpaper applied horizontally before mate..... But I have seen wallpaper with a horizontally orientated stripe....:wink: I'd hate to apply the paper horizontally; as you'd have to go round the room and hope that the stripes line up when you meet the other end!! Richard:surrender:

Ahh good....:wink: And there was me linking it to your "lost key" post - until I read that they turned up safe and sound...:)

I'm not concerned with the garage floor - but you left the targas off Si...... .....You're going to have a car filled with spiders and the like in a few days.....:tongue: Richard:biggrin:

Indeed they do..... ......Not too cold here just yet though; so I'll probably take mine on a little road trip tomorrow......:wink:
