only managed to find 1 so far and that was £450, i guess it be cheaper to buy a breaker, at least i could get other parts if needed of that. just been looking at skylines but u just know they been ragged to bits and dont look anywhere nere as sexy as a 300zx

assuming it is the gearbox, how much we looking at to replace it? as for doing it in a couple of hours, im just about capable of checking the oil and water before a long trip

slight update... just been back up to it and checked engine oil which alough looks a bit dirtier than when i saw it yesterday, theres plenty of it on the dipstick, so it must have been gearbox oil all over the road. im guessing this is a good (cheaper) thing

not to far from u.. barry im clutching at straws but could it just be a seal gone on the gearbox?

no its a manual gearbox, gonna get it towed to a local garage tomorrow n see the damage

ok been up and taken a pic, i know it needs to go on a ramp for a proper look but any ideas, oil was coming form where the arrows pointing......

it was leaking oil from the middle of the car, gonna go up and investigate it this morning, will take some pics and hopefully get some idea of wot it is

After an enjoyable with my son at the fleet air museum in somerset, i was travelling back to wales, when crossing the severn bridge........ BANG my first reaction was a blowout, doing about 70 mph i braced myself to control a spinout. looking in the mirror to see how soon i could pullover while hitting the hazards all i could see was smoke. managed to get over to the hard shoulder and switched engine off to go inspect the damage. no tyres gone, got back in and started engine, it made a horrible noise and a load of smoke came out of the bonnet, thinking it was gonna catch fire i got us both out as quick as i could and retreated a good 200 yards up the road. luckily enough im in the AA, so i called em out, and after a half hr wait on a breazy bridge being thankfull that it wasnt raining he turned up. He checked the water level which was fine then looked under the car and pointed out the big pile of oil all over the road. "looks terminal" he said, maybe a rod gone thru the engine. yes i admit i swore at this point before getting towed the remaining 50 miles home thinking the only good point of it was i didnt have to pay for the bridge. car now parked up and waiting for its fate which i havent decided yet

its not me selling mine either, still got it

thats wot ive got on a the moment, replacing the fronts 235/45/17s on friday, then save some more pennies for the 265 rears which are £135 each

now being in the market for some new daps, i was quoted £110 for 235/40/17 and £135 for 265/40/17 asked in kwikfit and they wanted over £300 for michelins each!!!!!!!!!!! blackcircles seem to be the way forward, good choice and good prices

ive been wanting to test this myself, but u try talking some1 into sitting in the back seat with a stopwatch watching the speedo!

ive actually driven with a bed on the roof/ a 3 piece suite (all 3 pieces) on the roof and................ believe it or not an airplane on the roof. yes a real one minus the wings, all in an escort van

i get subjected to spongebob squarepants all day, wotever happened to tom n jerry and the flumps????????

ive been asked loads of times the "wot is it" queston, and the roar of the engine certainly turns heads!

hands up, whos run straight out to check their tyres?

been meaning to do it for a week after finding out tyres have a speed rated, so just been out with the torch and ive got.......... 265/40zr/17/96y on the rear 235/45zr/17/94y on the front the good news is the y means they are good for 186 mph Speed Rating Mile/Hour Kilometers/Hour Speed Rating Miles/Hour Kilometers/Hour N 87 140 U 124 200 P 93 150 H 130 210 Q 99 160 V 149 240 R 106 170 Z 150+ 240+ S 112 180 W 168 270 T 118 190 Y 186 300
