Sorry guys, my mistake.. I've just looked at the invoice and it was 4 hours labour, not 5 and the £280 does include the dreaded VAT!!

They just said it needed alot of the wiring repaired and that it was only running on 5 cylinders.. Having only just bought it and never driven one before, I had no idea but she runs SO much better now!!

Thanks for all the help guys! Ended up having to get it garaged and £280 later for 5 hours of labour, I have my wheels back!! They did say that the wiring is very brittle so I will have probs again but you gonna take the rough with the smooth don't ya!! Toby

Thanks mate, I really appreciate the advice and support!! I've always loved these cars and after getting this, my 1st one only a couple of months ago, I am totally smitten but also totally naive!!!!!!!!!! That reminds me, I must post a pic up on the site!! Toby

Thanks Guys!! I'll check I haven't bumped any other connectors, although the roadside assistance bloke did check most but I'll definately clean them all up when I next have a chance (which will prob be the weekend as it's bloody dark long time before I get home!!) I'll post again when done to give the good or bad news.. Just wish I knew more about what's underneath the bonnet like what does what, how it works and how to fix it!!

Hi all.. Tried to start my imported 1990 non turbo 300zx tt on Sunday but it would not fire, the engine just turned over. Car was running fine and the only thing I did on Saturday was to change the dipped headlight bulbs, but 1 had blown again come Sunday! Got roadside assistance out who found there was no spark from the plugs so said it was an electric problem, possibly a sensor issue but also said although unlikely, the blown bulb could have upset the immobiliser?? Has anyone else had this kinda trouble or knows where I should go to get the car looked at? I'm from St Albans by the way and any help you be most greatfully recieved!! Toby.

A big hello to you all!!! I'm Toby from St Albans and apart from being a "newbie" this is they very 1st forum I've joined too.. Well done me!!!!! I have a 1990 silver auto non turbo tt import by the way!! T.
