Unfortunately if you do that the plates are no longer legal believe it or not. Here's what the DVLA rules say: The British Standard sets out the physical characteristics of the number plate. This includes visibility, strength and reflectivity. The British Standard also requires each number plate to be permanently and legibly marked with the following information: * The British Standard number (currently BS AU 145d) * The name, trademark or other means of identification of the manufacturer or component supplier (The company that made the plate) * Name and postcode of the supplying outlet.

See this thread for info, that's double sided automotive tape, perfectly good for attaching number plates IMO That's what I used when I changed mine, saves you drilling holes in plate or car. It's the same stuff your badges are stuck on with so I wouldn't worry about them falling off viewtopic.php?f=26&t=41251

I used this to remove it after I removed all my rear OEM badges http://www.amazon.co.uk/WOWOOO-Goo-Gone ... B003BQRQ02

Glad you're getting the problem fixed but leaks is the main reason I opted for the coupe when looking for a zed, having had a similar experience to yourself with a 300ZX Convertible I bought. Car was an Import (as they didn't do Convertibles in the UK only Targa Tops) 18 months old in mint condition but had cream suede door cards leather seats etc. Asked the dealer if it had any leaks as I didn't have a garage at the time and told it hadn't. After a couple of months noticed small drips coming in between the top of the window and rubber seal only when parked in heavy rain but never whilst driving, (I put this down to there being a positive pressure in the car and the rain being sheeted off the window) took it back to the dealer to be fixed a couple of times but the problem just came back as there didn't seem to be enough pressure between the window glass and the rubber seal on the hood, he adjusted the door hinges so there was more pressure at the top but still the problem came back at one stage he promised to replace the entire soft top but this never happened and he went out of business shortly after Sold the 300Zx after I bought the 350Z but it still had the same problem. Looks like the 350Z roadster has a similar problem then, if their is not enough pressure against the rubber seal which I always thought was a poor design in the 300ZX. As the previous posters said you can try and bulk out the rubber seal and lubricate it but you have to be careful which compounds you use on the rubber as it can make it worse. My wife has a Golf Convertible and so far no leaks and it's 9 years old but since she got it due to my bad experience with the 300ZX I treat the rubber seals on the soft top and doors etc. with Gummi Pflege Rubber Protection which I also use on the Zed seals as well to stop the seals sticking in the cold weather http://www.car-care-direct.com/catalog/ ... cts_id=147

How about waiting until he comes round again and when he's at the top of his ladder ask him politely if he accidently scratched the Zed before you accidently kick his feckin ladder from under him

I went there as a young engineer in 1981 from a local engineering firm who no longer exist, should be there until I retire on a nice MOD pension probably bump into you now and then if I'm down the EHJ. Cheers Andy

Spotted Jays zed in carpark at Coulport today

Could be a noisy idler pulley, these would have been slacked off and re-tightened when you had the new belt replaced. There may be more tension on the pulley because of the new belt which would put more load on the pulley. Not sure if the pulleys have a bearing in them as the noise sounds like a dry bearing, could also be one of the other bearings in the AC pump, alternator etc. which is more noticeable now if the belt has more tension on it.

Excellent Spent 2 weeks touring Wales in the Zed in July stayed in Abergavenny and went to Newport for the day as it's just down the road. Recognise the bench where the girl plays the keyboard as the flags in the background advertise the Ryder Cup which is getting played in Newport this year. Had fantastic weather and would definitely recommend South Wales if you like walking etc. especially the brecon Beacons, Forest of Dean. Was impressed with Cardiff as well, especially the Waterfront as it's been re-generated and improving all the time

Agree with Rich, most likely a hornet, don't usually sting humans unless you go near their hives. Some peeps have a bad reaction to their sting if they do get stung. That was just a baby you killed Here is it's dad looking for you

Similar type of incident happened to me fortunately I was driving the Wife's Micra at the time I was driving up a narrow street doing about 25mph with cars parked on the opposite side of the road, barely enough room for two cars to pass. Anyway this women decides to pull out onto my side of the road to pass the parked cars, hardly even slows down as she heads towards me, moved over as far as I could to avoid her but couldn't move over any further or would have mounted the pavement, managed to miss her but her mirror hits my mirror knocking the back off and breaking the glass of both mirrors. I pulls in and asked her politely what she was doing, she said she had committed herself to pass the parked cars and I explained that she had come well over onto my side of the road in doing so and was at fault for the damage to my mirror. She said it was just one of those things and her mirror had been broken also and that it had been broken before, not surprising me thinks. Anyway I'm looking for her to pay for the damage as she was at fault and told her so in my diplomatic way Would have agreed to settle the matter without getting insurance companies involved and would have kept the costs to a minimum but she was having none of it. She decided to call the Police to explain what a nice gentleman I was praising her for her driving skills, they arrived and done the usual checks took statements and kind of told me to chill out for some reason After surveying the road etc. they agreed with me that no way she could have passed me without coming onto my side of the road, Result! Phoned my insurance co. to report the accident etc. as she must have done the same because the next day gets a call from her insurance co. and the nice gentleman (w&nk£r) said it wouldn't be worth me claiming against his client as it was a knock for knock and these things happen all the time and I would be wasting my time pursuing it. Anyway thanked him for his well informed advice and said that I would just pay for new mirror myself and would indeed drop the case, aye right!! told him in a pleasant manner that why should I have to pay for a new mirror when his client was to blame as confirmed by the Police! A few days later her insurers contacted my insurers and agreed to pay for the cost of the new mirror including painting, which probably cost her more in the long run. So yes it can be worth it but without witnesses etc. might be more difficult to pursue a claim.

Congratulations Irfan wish you all the best How did you manage to jam that kids head under your rear spoiler in the pic with your Dad's beemer

The 4 sensors that fit into the bumper can be painted to match the car before they are fitted to the bumper. I bought a set of after market OEM Nissan parking sensors and the sensors are Black and have to be sprayed to match the car prior to fitting, Unless factory fitted you will find most sensors will need to be painted to get an exact match to the car

To complicate matters even more, up here in Gods country we also have square sausage, locally known as slice, so you have to ask for a roll in slice if you want square sausage, if you ask for a roll in sausage you will get round sausage Pic of said article together with typical breakfast fare
