Nissan have done the water pump already so I can't get the camblet changed now!!! They are also telling me I have a small water leak coming from the back of one of the heads but have said it can be sealed! Is this true and how long will it last before the head gaskets go. People have told me it should last forever but I am feeling a bit unsure. Any advise would put my blood pressure back to normal!!! :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Have seen a nice White Zed around the Bridgend area. Think its an H or K plate. Have seen it parked in McDonalds car park on occasion, just off the A48. I always seem to pass you going the other way along the A48. Saw you again last night but couldn't flash you as I was in my Primera. I'm yet to meet another Zed when I'm crusing around in mine yet! :( If it is you, keep an eye out for a G plate in Red. That'll be me!! See you around!

1991 Metro 1.1S 1995 Astravan (company car) 1995 Vectra 1.7TD (company car) - do these count? 1999 Vectra 2.2TDi (company car) 1998 Toyota Avensis 1992 Nissan 100NX (this is where it all started!) 1990 Nissan 200sx 1989 Nissan 200sx 1993 Rover 620 (don't know what happened here. Needed a cheap car when my 200sx died (again!)) 1997 Primera 2.0 Auto GX (still have it. Good car!) Finally got my 1990 300zx 2+2 TT Auto (Jap) 2 weeks ago. Loving it but it's been in the garage getting the water pump replaced :( but get it back tomorrow!! Cheers

Brilliant !!!

Check out http://www.youknowsit.co.uk They're a comedy RAP act from Newport, South Wales (safe as ****!). Download some of the MP3s (espetially Delivery Driver!) and you'll see what I mean. They will be supporting the Super Fury Animals soon. You may not appreciate what it is they are on about unless you are from the South Wales are and are familiar with the slang/accent. Anyway, hope you enjoy them as they make me laugh and I think after everything that went on at Billing, we all need cheering up. Safe as ****. You knows it!! :cool:

The cambelt has already been changed twice in its life. Once in Japan and once only a few thousand miles ago. I've seen a few Z32's there mind so they seem to know their stuff. Like I said, I wouldn't have work done on it there by choice but I broke down around the corner and wanted to get it sorted so I suppose I cannot really complain.

Well Nissan have just called me back and have confirmed that it is the water pump that needs replacing. They have said it will cost me over £300 as it is 4hrs labour!! What do you reckon?

Checked but can't see anything obvious. But like I said, I 'aint no mechanic!! Anyway, headed off to work this morning and only got a few yards before she overheated!! Filled the RAD with water and it all came straight out onto the floor. Could not see any disconnected hoses but didn;t look too hard hard as I had lorries and shitting racing past me!!! Anyway, to cut a long story short, against my better judgment, it has ended up at my Nissan dealer as I was only araound the corner. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks both. I'll try and take a look at those pipes today. Where can I get a new water pump from at a good price on the net? Zedworld look promising. anywhere else?

Had my new Zed a week (1989 TT Auto import) and started to notice hot water pissing out from under the car everytime I've stopped driving. I am not loosing any water from the Rad and I've been driving the car daily with no sign of overheating..........until today. Was driving it alot harder today and when I got home my temp gauge was creeping up past the half-way mark and i saw steam coming from the bonnet. Looked underneath and sure enough, steaming water everywhere so looked under the bonnet and could see steam coming from the front of the engine (I think) behind the fan rather than from the Rad. What shall I do? Is it worth me dumping the Rad and renewing the water/coolant and check all the pipes,see how that goes? I'm not a mechanic but can see some second had pumps for £20. Is it worth me taking it to Nissan to fit a new one or do you think my local back street garage could cope with fitting the second hand one quite easily? (they've not worked on a Zed before but looked after my 200sx with no probs before and they appear to be extremely competent mechanics!!!) Is it worth getting a new one from somewhere or will a second hand one from a 1992 car (low mileage) be alright? Any advise would be really appreciated. Dom

Hi all, Just to let you know I won the eBay auction for Sunray's Zed, down in Cardiff. He's on his way to meet me now so I can hand over the dosh!! I can't believe I finally managed to get one after so many years of wanting one!! (Sorry if I sound a bit excited). Well just wanted to say hello and I look forward to posting some threads soon and get to know you all. Cheers Dom :p :p :p :p :p :p

Back wheel looks bigger than the front one??

Any chance of a price list and maybe some pics?

Can't believe you guys are having this battle. You cannot compare the two. Macs and PCs are not supposed to compete with each other. I've been in the industry for years and work with PCs all day and Windoze. The fact is, everyone knows Microsoft ripped off Apple and got all their ideas from them. Windoze XP is a long time coming and is the most unstable OS I can think of!! If you want to do nothing but play games then get yourself a console. We all know gaming on PCs is **** and Macs were never really designed to be used for gaming, but the fact is, you CAN play all the most up-to-date games on a MAC without the need to upgrade every six months!! Who needs floppy diskettes these days when you've got infra-red, wireless LAN, bluetooth, iDisk etc. If you want a decent work horse, get yourself an Apple and install Linux on it!! They you truly will have the 'Best PC' End of conversation!!
