  1. Andy the colour code is KHM gunmetal grey.
  2. Just logged in to see what is going on and saw your news Baz, hope everything goes O.K.. Dave.
  3. Start back on my 06-00 to 14-00 shifts Sat morning for 7 days so early night for me as got to be up at 05-00. But have a good one everybody.
  4. It,s a hydrant, a standpipe screws onto the outlet where the black cap is and a valve key is used on the square part to open the valve. Think fire brigade flushing fire hydrants and you will know what I mean.
  5. Thanks Stu, but even that is too far beyond a technophobe like me. Looks like a FOR SALE sign in the windscreen and park it up at the end of the drive.LOL Cheers.
  6. I have decided to put my Zed up for sale but dont know how to put photos up on the cars for sale section. Could anyone give me an idiots guide on adding photos please. I have a digital camera which I guess is the first thing I need but after that I am lost. Please remember it needs to be an idiots guide LOL. Thanks .
  7. Which hotel are you in Zerocool ? Cant have been mine it's in my garage in Waltham, havent seen another grey around town maybe someone from away. I'm thinking of selling if you're after another Z.
  8. Welcome to the Lincolnshire gang, must all meet sometime.
  9. I'm working 06-00 to 14-00 that day but will be back in town for 15-00 so could drive up to Cleethorpes and maybe see you. Any idea where you will be around that time? regards Dave.
  10. Got the dreaded steering wheel shake, removed the 5mm spacers,fitted new antiroll bar bushes front and rear, new drop links front and rear, new steering rack bushes,and fitted some hubcentric rings and replaced the rubber bush on the steering shaft with the metal replacement. Well what a difference to the way the car handles now very responsive and no more wheel shake. Not a very expensive job but a bit af a PITA. Did this last week but only now has the swelling gone down on my fingers and the skin on my hands and knuckles grown back LOL, but a job well done.
  11. sorry mate ,are you thinking of the drop links? the bolts for the anti roll bar bushes go to captive nuts inside the wishbone arms
  12. Anyone had them shear when undoing to fit new bushes, if so what did you do. Started mine today and looks like a couple may shear if I persist, sprayed them with release oil and will leave overnight but not hopeful.
  13. Sounds like an injector down on No6, check across the 2 terminals should get around 12.5 Ohms.
  14. just resubscribed using my wifes paypal account. Thanks.
  15. Had one pack up on me last week, spoke to Jeff at Zedworld and he sent me a second hand injector not too expensive, put it in using the dremmil method and car running O.K. again.
  16. Just an update, got a cheap multi meter from Maplins and tested the injector reading was zero, spoke with Jeff at Zedworld and he is sending a second hand injector out. Cheers.
  17. Thanks, will give it a go, or try and get a tester on it.
  18. Thanks mate, so would swapping the connectors over cause the injector to open at the wrong time ?
  19. I think I have got a injector failed, have done all the swapping of coil packs and plugs and cleaned all connectors. My next idea was to swap over the nearest injector connector to try and prove if it is the injector or a wiring fault, but not sure what triggers the injector to open so it still opens at the correct time. Any ideas? I dont have any testing equipment.
  20. Baz, if you can find out if they are willing to make any minor adjustments, and I would pay for their time if they did, then I may be interested .
  21. Had my land rover discovery just over a year now and LPG has gone from 62p a Litre to 75p a Litre. Just like everything else, I now seem to be working just to keep our heads above the water and I feel things are getting worse.
  22. Just an update, Jeff and Jamie at Zedworld have now sorted this for me it was a combination of things wiring and faulty steering ECU and the drive back to Grimsby was a pleasure. Thanks to all at Zedworld including Lynda for the coffee and toast. Seems to be a few new names on this site so I guess there are some owners new to the 300 zx, remember this can be a complicated car to work on, if anyone needs work on these cars think carefully before taking it to a local garage it may work out better to take it to Zedworld with there vast knowledge. Sunshine in Grimsby today so will give the car a wash and go out for a pose. Cheers.
  23. Being in Grimsby we are surrounded with HGVs coming off the docks here and at Immingham mainly using the A180/ M180. I also use this road alot going to and from work and can only say what a selfish bunch of tossers most HGV drivers are, dualing up a dual carriageway for miles, pulling out when they feel like it regardless of whats there and forcing there way onto the main road from sliproads. One morning on my way the work one lane was closed for repair and a 40mile an hour speed limit was in place the speed I was doing when one of these wagons can right behind me horn going lights flashing. So I slowed to 30 miles per hour and stayed there for about 5 miles with this **** getting more and more irrate. when the road works came to an end I allowed him to go past and gave him the finger, made my F***ing day.
