TiVo, TiVo - ha ! Actually the remotes are renowned for munching batteries, so that may be something to do with it. Have a look on the TiVo Forum, I know it's not strictly Sky+ but they must be similar under the skin.

Here is about 37,000 miles worth of mostly going to work (15 miles each way, country roads) and the odd long blast. Even includes fuel types and times when mods/repairs were made. You can guess the temp from the date and also the long journeys from the date (eg filling up twice in one day lol) I had to fudge the file name in order to attach the file. It's in Excel, so just hack off the .txt extension. Nice to know how much fuel tax I've paid anyway. 46% + 17.5% VAT right ?!?

Soup !

Cheers, just paid for my lunch ! ;)

Can't remember exactly - I bought those dodgy GreenStuff ones from you ! LOL

I bought mine from eBay and they are fine. I got cross drilled Brembos from http://www.eliteauto.ca I actually made a mistake and assumed that because the company was in Canada then the prices were Canadian dollars, but they were US. Anyway, I still got front and rear, cross drilled Brembos for ~£220 incl. shipping.

Just saw this on the Z-Car-Digest and becuase it's written by Tom Bell I tend to believe it.

Z32weasel (with a happy wife) - ----------------------------- That's one happy wife! Anyway, the 90+ autobox problems are pretty well documented. The design Nissan had for the Z31 car just wasn't up to the torque of the stock 300 HP TT motor, so Nissan re-engineered it to develop a bit less HP (280), then designed the tranny for that power level. Didn't work well and the box was re-engineered every few months until they 'got it right' in late 1992. Nissan's put out several technical bulletins on how to fix the autobox and how to minimize the damages. The problem is fluid circulation and materials degradation due to excessive heat. It's not going to get any better if you use a 'tranny treatment', because the stuff you put in can't heal the damage, and it's going to circulate poorly anyway. Here's a plan: Replace the radiator and top off the tranny fluid with the recommended stuff. Then, find somewhere where they exchange ALL of the fluid in the tranny and the torque converter, and have them do that with a flushing agent. After an extensive flush, refill with a high temperature synthetic fluid. Drive the car for about 500 miles or so, then repeat the flush and refill. You're planning to replace the tranny with a Level 10 box, so you might consider installing a tranny fluid cooler and replacing the radiator with one that's for the manual tranny cars. Hope this helps! Tom Bell IZCC 2802 ------------------------------

Dirty, lucky, dirty, lucky, dirty, lucky b@st@rd !

... who has gone to the trouble of posting me a £1 coin with a note thanking me for the centre console screws and washers - not me mate - Cheers Sucker LoL ;) Perhaps it's meant to be for AndyZ. BTW, postmark was Northampton.

Home or work network ? Proxy settings etc ??

I did a bit of research on this a month or two back and I think I established that there was a modified part around the time that the Series II's came out. All the people with leaking Series I's would be wise to double check whether this is the case. I'm sure Mike Feeney would be able to help - especially if you're ordering a bunch of parts from him ! ;)

Too right - they've got dead horse (gelatine) in them and I'm a veggie so I don't touch them !

Yeah, you went home at half time too - I stayed for the rest of the evening and my head hurt the next morning !

Well you fat blokes have more MASS to soak it up ! LOL :D

Well not quite, std unleaded is 95 octane (I think) so the situation here isn't quite so bad. But you don't wanna get started on other countries fuel prices ! ;)

In this order :- Sometimes OK Maybe Maybe Guinness (usually)

Weekend would be best, but can do evenings if you're desperate. I also have a spare MAS ! Email me and we can sort out the details

And I think Kenny Roberts was there that time too.

He raced in one of the classic things (Glorious Goodwood?) on an old Manx Norton or Trimuph and won then too. He was just messing with them until the last lap and went from about 4th to 1st !

What's the difference Jeff ?

If it's the pipe I'm thinking of then it can be bypassed. Check with Az - I'm pretty certain he's done this.

Yeah - bummer. At least they're be showing some of those old battles with Kenny Roberts again.

I have one and I'm not far from you - about 15 miles from Harlow

Yup, me too. Got them powder coated in silver about 3-4 years ago and still look great. Only take 10secs each to clean as well !
