Rebuilding Brake Calipers
Could be wrong but I think they are all the same. good to see they are doing the backs now, when I did my front calipers they were only listing rears for a z31

Failed MOT
No a shocker dust boot is not part of the test. The only dust gaitors that come into the test are front outer CV gaiters and steering rack gaitors. The reason being steering can be seriously affected if water or dirt gets in.

Failed MOT
He has tested it to the wrong standards It hasnt helped that your V5 is showing the incorrect year of manufacture, I presume he has mistaken the car for a 350z because of the incorrect date on the V5. TBH if the car has been tested in the last couple of years then all its details will be on the MOT comp system...there is no need for him to re-enter it. Problem now is there is an incorrect record of the vehicle on the system. Also as your previous MOT still had time on it, the car is still in test, just because he incorrectly failed it does not invalidate the previous years test. Ohh and gimmie a minute or two and I will PM you

Recognise this road guys ?
lol, you'd just end up breaking another Z. Could be something we look at for next year though, probably a bit pricey so more than likely we would need to team up with other clubs!

Recognise this road guys ?
Nope! sorry to raise your hopes. Its the nickname given by bikers to a section of road that they like. search youtube for Scotsburgring

Recognise this road guys ?
The road on the clip is on the way to Fort William, and part of the route that hopefully a few of us intend taking next year. Plan is to head up to Ullapool via Applecross. Some great roads in that area. Might even talk the guys into taking a trip round the "Scotsburgring"

Garages in Edinburgh
Failing that there is a list of garages on the Scottish region forum page, but for Edinburgh the garage that zerocooldel pointed out is probably the handiest.

What do you think of this..?
Shoddy workmanship, someone has taken the quick and easy route. Although the exhaust will be secure enough "for the time being" the tank isnt designed to support any weight or vibration at that point. Although the chances are probably slight there is danger of damage to the tank imho.

Why ???

some old pics...
Yes it was common a few years back, quite a few of us had the same problems. It was down to uprated front tension rod bushes. Do a search there was quite a bit of discussion about it

Land rover discovery
Watch out for rust for Discos of that sort of age. Was shown a 95-96 model today with the boot floor shot, the owner opened the tailgate lifted the carpet and there was the fuel tank in full view. chassis can also be a problem area on them.

New brake discs needed?
wasnt a fast fit place that told you they needed doing was it by any chance ??, "and by pure luck theres a special on discs and pads this week, only £1500 all in" Only reason for changing those is if they are warped. Plenty of meat left on them.
