bonfire night
http://www.lewesbonfirecouncil.org.uk/ its the big one this saturday night just down the road from home....up to 100,000 people will turn up if if the weather is nice and dry to watch the procession let off 1000's of rook scarers ignite untold amounts of fireworks light half a dozen big bonfires and burn Guy F and the Pope .....dont bring dogs, kids in buggies or people who are espcially catholic is my best advice enjoy

Service
loads of debate on oil on here.......the preverbial can of worms i can hear being opened again :D IMHO a good quality semi synth 5-40w will suffice for most engines....some say fully synth is too thin...others say not...depends on your mods and driving style as to how technical you want your oil to be and to perform as to the other oils....never asked the garage they just change it http://www.300zx.org.uk/tech_02.htm see the above link it will give you the Nissan recommended list and how to's etc cheers

engine block coolant drain bolt?
the coolant just trickles out when running the engine with the rad cap off so make sure the hose is trickling in at roughly the same rate...the overspill will run down the side of the rad neck and onto the floor....you shouldnt get a geyser erupting over the engine bay unless you floor the throttle or have some sort of air lock which burps up :hurl: HTH :)

engine block coolant drain bolt?
a nice gentle way of doing coolant change and this will aviod blasting the system with a hose and possibly jamming gunk and particles into the fine water channels and blocking them up at the same time is to run the engine with rad cap off and a hose trickling into the neck after 1 hour of so the entire system should be purged with clean water...then drain rad and top up with 4-5 litres of coolant...job done
-
engine block coolant drain bolt?
aftermarket rads like Koyo have a white screw plug drivers side you can reach it from underneath...IIRC stock rads dont have a plug you have to remove the lower hose to drain

Green taxes on the way
its non-sense and pointless....1 erupting volcano can chuck out more CO2 in 1 day than the whole industrialised world can in a year....that is not to mention all the holes mines and fissures in the ground which also vent CO2 in huge amounts...anything we do to cut emissions is just going to be a fraction of a fraction and will cost trillions....i'd rather we put the money into healthcare or new technology to grow foodstuff in different conditions...trouble is you wont hear many ecologists or scientists bringing up this point as it means they wont get funded for their research into global warming for the next 20-30 years
