  1. I will give him a call. Previously all the work has been done by Phil at Blackmoor who is also renowned as a Zedder. Thanks again!
  2. Wow thanks for all the recommendations guys! Have got some funds to get it running but with the change in location its the hassle which is putting me off. First step is getting subscribed. Second step is getting it MOT'd. I'll stick some pictures up once the bumper is fixed. Who is Lee Dent? Why was the 370z such a disappointment compared to the 300?
  3. Hello all I'm back after a period of briefly lurking around reading the odd post. Im currently stuck with a dilemma about what to do with my Z. it's a Tommy Kaira Special and has been parked up for the past three years after I moved house. I have now moved to the Isle of Man and am considering whether I should get it running and sell it on (to invest in a 370z) or bring it over here with me. From this location it will be tricky to do all the bits needed (seals, repair bumper crack, fluids, tyres etc) without flying back regularly to supervise. i'm not sure how much these would go for now and I would have to factor in the cost of leaving it with a recommended mechanic to get it up to speed. Any suggestions anyone?
  4. Back from hols - thanks for all the brillinat replies! Ive got some googling to do on all of those suggestions...
  5. OOOH now that is a great reply - hadnt even thought of one! Let me know if you think of any others im checking auto trader now!
  6. Right folks Am laying up my Zed until next summer since ive now moved to penistone which sees a high proportion of snow and ice. Im going to use the wife's car and i was thinking of getting her a cheap yet groovy used car - she's upgrading from a panda so should be happy with most things. four requirements: 1) gotta be cool 2) Preferably Jap / German emginering 3) HAS to be 4wheel drive 4) max budget £3000 Any ideas? Was thinking of a circa 2001 TT coupe but they are the second most unreliable cars on the road!
  7. Another question! Im hearing some slight sqeaky noises from both front wheel swhich sound a lot like i need to replace the bearings. Would it be best to order and replace them directly or should i just replace the front axle? Anyone have an idea what would be involved in cost / effort terms for both options?
  8. Hello all! I managed to crack my front bumper and theres a chunk missing from the middle. It's an unusual one so rather than putting on a scarab ot twinz or oem id like a direct replacement which i think ill have to fabricate myself. Anyone know how hard this is to do and where i would get started? Thanks in advance!
  9. Loose battery lead - you guys are genius! Thanks for the speedy replies - i am now going to make it in time to my girlfriend's parents - thanks everyone!
  10. Just jumped in the car to drive to my girlfriends in the (extreme) cold. Turned the key, all warning lights came on then there was a "click" and now no lights come on at all and there's no turnover from the engine. The immobiliser light still seems to work - this was fitted aftermarket so I assume the battery is charged (it was full yesterday when I was driving - I've got a battery indicator gauge). Any ideas what it might be? My firstthoughtswere obviously a fuse but I'm not sure which one to replace first in which box - help!!
  11. anyone know how I can find my membership number to pass onto my insurance company?
  12. Phew!! great advice - thanks. Only problem is that the car is getting stripped at the moment so I dont think it will get delivered in time. However - looking at the pictures it loks like the kind of thing that can be fitted later without too much trouble - is that correct?
  13. Just ordered chrome pins and a brake caliper refurb kit from Biggred. Wheres the best place to get a brake master cylinder brace?
