Yeah I know, got a lot on at the moment with work and having issues getting access to my tools. It was easier to just get them to do it. Poor excuse I know but its just a one-off.

Nissan Germany have quoted 165 euro each and 150 euro for fitting and emissions test.

Unfortunately I've had to go with that option due to time constraints. Not happy tho.

Hi there all,

Had to get an emissions test done as part of the MOT style test out here, the car failed. The CO2 reading was fine but the Lambda reading was to high at 1.042.

Went to the local main dealer here and run it on their machine and it failed again with similar readings. The Nissan machine didnt pick up any reading from the 2 sensors forward of the cats, the mechanic reckons these are broke and that is the cause.

So my questions to you all is this, is this a common fault or bad luck that both have gone and is approx 500 euro (450 quid) about right to supply and fit?

Car is a 2004 UK GT with 27000 miles.

Many thanks, Rob

Seen a few of them here in Germany. Google the older versions seen a couple of pretty cool modified ones.

As the title really, saw you today on PRB in Gutersloh.

Hi Nath, Army Air Corp mate. Know Carterton quite well haha. If you want to get rid of the part give me a price inc P&P.

Cheers mate, Rob

Hi there guys/girls

As the title says really, mine fell off and is now pretty bust up.

Many thanks, Rob

Leave it with me buddy, i'll have a think and get back to you.

I would be interested in a normal - informal Sunday afternoon type meetup.

Suggest where and when and I will try to be available.

Hi guys,

Any thought on getting this moving? Cant do the Nurburgring trip as I'm away, like I mentioned anyone interested in a normal meet on a Sunday afternoon for example?

Really p1ssed I cant make this.

However if anything changes last minute I will meet you at the ring. I'll pitch a tent if I have to

Thats tomorrows job mate.

Cheers again

Vulture! How about rationed coffee?

ill chuck in a curly wurly too

Haha good work there Danny.

Wookie as you have prob guessed I need a quick fix on this, would be very interested in having them off you. If you can let me know details soonest that would be great. If a light borrow is ok with you and there is no other feasible solution I would be very gratefull.

PM me with your thoughts and we can sort something out.

Cheers fellas once again

Hi there all, hopefully somebody can help me out.

Firstly the car, I have a 2004 (04) UK spec GT. I bought the car slightly modified and am finding more mods all the time. Can somebody tell me what headlights I should have, i.e halogen, HID or xenon? They have a blue tint to the edge of the beam and a 4 pin connector if that helps?

I need to have LHD lights fitted to conform to the British Army Germany rules. I got a set of LHD lights from Holland, these have conventional halogen bulbs and a 3 pin connector. Can I remove the wiring anf associated bits from my UK lights and fit them to the replacements?

I am totally threaders with it at the mo, if I dont get this sorted the car will sit on the drive and not move, because it wont be allowed on camp. I am considering selling it as I wont let it rot outside the house, I dont really want to sell by the way.

Any help would be appreiciated guys.

Many thanks, Rob

Aim to please people lol...

 

I'm half way through making a full image detailed information sheet on how to install folding door mirrors when you press the remote lock and unlock on your key. If your intrested pm me dude.

 

Again there is some info on my thread

I'd be interested in that mate, the wifes XC60 does it and it annoys me that the Z dont

Problem is mate I live out and need a daily driver, it aint BFG'd coz of the lights and Gutersloh are a pain in the ass. Wont be able to get it on camp basically.

As its a 04 car, I thought it should have halogen lights, are mine aftermarket? If yes then a re-wire may be an option

Dunno if they can be re-wired to be honest, would have to remove all the xenon kit from the UK lights, the connector on the new ones have a 3-pin socket where the original ones have 4-pin. Do you reckon it would be a big job?

When do you think you will be removing your LHD ones, I am thinking of selling the car if I cant get something sorted. Not something I want to do by the way

Hi everyone, thanks for all your help i managed to get a set from a company in Thaiwan called crazy god they cost me about £360 and got here in about two weeks.

Have you a link or something for them? I got a set from holland but have found out they are for halogen cars not xenon.

Cheers

Yeh man its a bit of a pain...its all the clips that do my head in...

 

Bummer about the incorrect light though.

Cant say on here how pi**ed off i was LOL

Ah, got it now I think?

Red and black on the cable to the power on the head-unit loom, and I take it the red+white connectors are cropped off and soldered to the PCB in the head-unit like in the other thread?

Hi there,

Can you go into a bit more detail how you did this? I have looked at the original thread and that makes sense, where did you get the power from?

Sorry to sound like a mong but I want to do this but want to be totally sure I understand before ripping the car apart.

Cheers

Yep totally simple once its in front of me. Is it me or is it a right pain in the ass to take of the bumper?

The bolts that hold the bumper to a bracket were the most difficult. As it turns out was a complete waste of time as my replacement lights are the wrong ones !

Hi guys,

My headlights have a 4-pin electrical connector, am I right in saying I have Xenons fitted?

I have a set of LHD lights that have a 3-pin connector, I'm assuming this is standard halogen?

What cars were fitted with each type of light?

Cheers guys, Rob

Okey Dokey

Off to do it now then, hopefully wont be on here later after new bits to replace my broken bits LOL.

Hi there,

Taking the front bumper off to replace the headlights, all the guides dont mention the headlight washers. Do the covers just slide off or is there a trick to it?

Dont want to go wading in and break them LOL.

Cheers, Rob
