i remember viewing that car at a garage in bolton, many years ago, when it was white! never forgot the number plate, have also seen you drive it down beaumont road (i think that's what it's called), near chew moore lane, that car was a big influence on me buying a zed many years later! gutted pal, i would've had you back bumper too matey, after a uk spec one!!!

erm................. zed, aye...

it's about the same round here too, i got my rebore (+1mm) for 20 quid a pot...

i used a fairly light ie. not very aggresive wire brush wheel on a drill. a bit like these, i used the disc shaped one, but i bought them from my local hardware shop, so i could feel them, you don't want anything too stiff, then i cleaned it with carb cleaner... hth. http://www.screwfix.com/prods/13734/Abrasives/Brushes/For-Drills/Drill-Carbon-Steel-Wire-Brush-Set-3Pc?cm_mmc=GoogleBase-_-Datafeed-_-Abrasives-_-Drill%20Carbon%20Steel%20Wire%20Brush%20Set%203Pc

i had that on mine, turned out the boot light was staying on, but you don't see it...

hahahaha

thanks mate, i can knock summet like that up no probs, will give it a go as soon as my front bumper and freshly smoothed bumper are back from the paint shop tomorrow :) :) :)

Hi guys, i know it's not nissan related, but in the middle, or rather the beginning of changing the alternator on a 2001 citroen picasso, and having major traumas, just wondering if anyone of you very knowledgeable geezers out there may know the tips/tricks as regards to removing/fitting it, it's really starting to do my nuts in! Many thanks, and appoligies for the french related question!!!

:)

reet, ignore what i said then

I think the rears are the same on NA and TT, 26mm, just the fronts thats different, hope i'm not wrong tho, but sure i read that in a recent post....

i think you just bond it on with a few dollops of fibre glass resin type stuff in about 10 places, with metal mesh you would bend it to shape, not sure about that with the plastic stuff tho? may not need to tho, think the gap is pretty flat anyways...

I going to replace the bottom two reverse lights with thos red led cluster type thingies for fog lights, what type is the fitting? cheers...

i bought mine with, apperantly, a knackered turbo, was smoking really bad, turned out that the turbo was knackered, but only from all the debri of a hole blown in one of the pistons!

Has anyone put mesh on the holes on an original bumper? Got any pics? Would it look pants or decent? Mine is off at the mo so can't picture it, just a thought of something to do....

do a search buddy, many threads on it, i think alot of people use mobil1 semi synthetic 10w50... i'm still deciding myself, still got running in oil in after the re-build....

I just looked at it, and it says 'No software comes with this device', but further down it says it comes with conzult shareware, eh? Might get one tho...

if you do clean the injector connectors, be careful not to loose the little metal clip you have to pop off first (if they are still on) it is more than likely that if you drop one or it pops off, it will never be seen again!

glad to hear that mate, at least it was something and nothing, finding the problem on these cars is most of the battle!

that makes me do a sex dribble in my pants, bang tidy matey...

me too...

I'd agree a dirty injector or PTU connector/unit, when you boot it (as one does) :) it puts more of a load on the connectors etc. than when it's just being revved... but basically as above... hope ya get it sorted mate...

if ya do tho, make sure ya put em in the same way round as they are on the originals...

yeah, it has a metal retrisctor a bit thicker than a pound coin, with a hole in the middle, and something that looks like a miniature toilet brush :) I did manage with the correct size pipe to re-use them, but it's a ball ache, suppose you could give it a go, and if it doesn't work for ya then buy the proper ones...

being an auto it'll only be 280 to start with i think?
