Guys, Needed to get some new plugs,. This site in the USA sold a set for $64 + $35 P&P. No duty. Seemed good to me http://www.importpartspro.com/index.html Arrived today, 6 days including the weekend, I just know someone will have got them down the road much cheaper, but I couldn't source them! :dance:

When I had my UK Zs auto box rebuilt the specialist recommended an external cooler. Had it done, guess that's what happened to yours

It's not necessarily that obvious if the water pump has a leak. There is a small drain hole at the bottom, you can get a small leak out of there which is enough to cause overheating probs without being obvious. i only knew mine was leaking when I had it changed when the cam belt was done, and the staining around it gave the game away. Oh, and the fact it now runs absolutely rock steady on half way up (needle horizontal) :headvswal

I too had this problem. I looked at all the standard fixes, it was none of them. my MOT garage picked up the rear steering arms foe excessive play. These were changed (£64 ish each + labour) and it's now as smooth as greased weasel shit.

I found a little 2 leg puller does the business

Sorry, forgot to say thats for spraying, but he'd know a good trimmer

Try Lawrence at Meon Valley Engineering. Does really good work, lots of classic car stuff, and modern Good luck, sorry don't have the number

Hi all, Pleased to say thay after my earlier post I went to a different MOT station who knew Z's a little. They felt the play was 'slight' and passed it. Oh happy day. Because the Nelson quote to replace the rear links containing the rear ball joints as £750.

Just failed the MOT for excessive play in the rear lower ball joints . Does anyone know if this is an expensive job? daft Q really! Or is it possible to DIY it.

back from beer thank you all

Middle cylinder drivers side is not firing. Fine when turned off one evening, duff next morning. I've swapped the coil pack and the plug over, fault stays on same cylinder. and the plug sparks when the engine is running and it's laying on the block If anyone has any good ideas I'd be glad to hear them. If they involve cleaning sensors etc a pointer to the location would be appreciated. I've managed to locate the PTU (old type) and thats about it. Just off for a pie and a pint (and a moan) Cheers in advance

Hate to be an anorak, but aren't the front wheels on the wrong way round?

Yep. if you can see a puddle of oil you have gallons in there not litres. Glen,, howas the Skyline

OK, found it. It's the bottom left 10amp fuse in the internal fuse box.

Electric aerial going up makes a sound just like that, in that position
