Very sorry to hear that mate:thumbdown: I hope you get it sorted as that's one fine ZX you have. And with any luck someone will catch the little scrote the next time he tried to nick a car; and set about him with a blow-torch and a pair of pliers..... Richard:cursing:

I bought a pair like this for Julia's Rav; since I had problems with water freezing solid on the sprung metal joints of the traditional wipers. It was a real PITA as the original blade would end up stuck in a crescent shape and this skip over the screen in very cold weather!! As they were quite cheep I bought a full set for my ZX as well - although I haven't fitted them yet. And yes, I agree with Graham about the mounting point looking a bit bulky...... Richard:cool2:

Happy birthday mate!! Richard:cool2:

LOL....I could not resist posting this...... Enjoy!! Richard:innocent:

Looking good Daz - looking VERY good mate!! You coming to Jeff's bash in February mate - if so I look forward to seeing your car in the flesh once more....? Richard:cool2:

As a southerner, from the 2 you mention, I have only been to the O2 and, I have to say, it's a damn good venue for any concert!! I saw Jeff Wayne's "War of The Worlds" there back in December 2008 BTW - and pretty awesome it was too!! Richard:cool2:

Not me; I'm keeping it. And when I did chose to sell up, I bought another one..... ......But then 6 years ago I relegated the (original) ZX to a weekend toy and bought a new daily driver!! Richard:thumbup1:

And a belated Merry Christmas to you as well Harry! Glad you're over your illness and I wish your brother a speedy recovery. Also I'm pleased you got some great presents for Christmas - enjoy, buddy!! And a happy New Year to you and your family!! All the best, Richard:santa:

Very true Alan..... ......I loved growing up in the 70s and 80s. In fact the 1970s certainly spawned the last "common sense" generation - the one before all the health and safety red tape came in to nanny us snd stop us taking risks. Youngsters nowadays are wrapped in too much cotton wool; and they are supposed to be the country's future:beta1: But like Jane says; I think I also prefer living in the present - however with the benefit of the experience I gained in the past. Today's generation will sadly never experience real life as they are too busy in virtual reality. Richard:cool2:

Many happy returns mate - hope you have a great day!! Richard:happybday:

Happy birthday Lisa - hope you have a great day! Richard:happybday:

We're heading off to Cornwall on Thursday; our hotel is laying on a 7 course dinner for New Year's Eve. So I guess we'll just enjoy that; washed down with a glass or three of something cold and fizzy!! We're staying a few days into next week too, as I don't have to be back at work until 6th. Woohoo:rockon: Richard:thumbup1:

Great news Pete - and thanks for your continued support! I've popped a request in the committee forum for your name to be changed to the right colour for your trader's status mate. Richard:chef:

LOL - I remember you posting that up some time back Brian..... .....and I see you're still alive to do it again mate!! Excellent find there; and in my best "Mr Cholmondley-Warner" voice, remember...... ....."Women. Know your place!!"................ Richard:yes::tt2::innocent:

Yup! Switch it on via the switch on the r/h instrument pod. Then when you reach your desired speed (using accelerator as normal) press the "set coast" button on the steering wheel. To switch off, either use the on/off switch on the instrument pod; or just press the brake. If you press the brake, you can resume the previous set speed by pressing "resume" on the steering wheel. HTH Richard:thumbup1:

As above - rare as hen's teeth to get unused blanks! Although I guess you could ask Mike at MJP if Nissan still supply them. Otherwise the replacement lock kit is the way to go. That E-bay one is good value - alternatively ask JeffTT if he has any from his breakers. Richard:thumbup1:

LOL..... ......but yes, that's just like the one I have! And regarding the nut sizes, often aftermarket wheels use nuts that are a different size to the stock ones. Consequently I keep a 19mm (or maybe 17mm - I can't remember which) slim socket on the wrench! Richard:thumbup1:

Sorry to hear that mate - but glad no-one was hurt. I hope you can get the car sorted easily and with minimum fuss. And I'm as confused as Silverbullet - he didn't say he was on the phone mate.....? Richard:flowers:

Will do dan - although the ZX is most likely staying at home this time! Richard:cowboy:

Yes - they have a space saver wheel as there's no room for a full size one! And the stock wheel-brace is also a bit pathetic as you cannot get enough leverage; especially if a tyre-monkey has used a compressed air gun to tighten the nuts. Best bet is to buy one of those telescopic-handle wheel wrenches from Halfords. Then loosen the nuts off and re-tighten them to the correct torque by hand. Richard:cool2:

I haven't driven mine for about 3 weeks either - damn snow - and I have definitely missed it. I'm off to Cornwall this week but, as the ZX is nice and clean and shiney at the moment, I'll probably leave it at home this time. So that's a bit longer without driving it...... Richard:arabia:

Sweeeeet - I love that car!! Great pics Paul.... Richard:thumbup1:

HAppy birthday JAson - have a great day buddy! Richard:santa:

In a simple word, yes you do..... ......but to be more exact; you have to be able to see the indicators flashing from the side of the car. So if your front ones wrap around and can be seen from the side, you'd possibly get away without repeaters. Depends on the MOT inspector, I guess. Richard:thumbup1:

Bloody cheek!! Glad you're sorted though - and thanks for re-subbing Rob! Richard:rockon:
