Yup... UK car. Says so in the V5 To be honest, he MIGHT have just been talking about the mechanical stuff. I think I need to get her up on some axle stands and have a look myself

Yeah... Cheers AGAIN for that my good man She is fine after about 1 min once warmed up... or after you do 10-20meters in a gear. Just going to put it down to nothing

Couldn't make the meet at the Tavern. Ian's funeral is on the 7th October. I will be taking my sister as they were good friends. Don't suppose anyone else will be attending?

That is some MEAN skillz! Did you have any sewing experience before? Or did you just dive into it to see what you could do?

Nice one Colin! Will try in a bit...

My 03 only opens the drivers side with one press... Need two for both doors... Interested to see if you can do this!

Yeah, cement mixer is probably the closest description.... Will do a little research on Release Bearings... Thanks bud!

Might see who does what nearby. Would be good to get it sorted before winter... and before it gets any worse. Cheers... Hey, wanna shoot the breeze for the next 16 posts? very close to a grand my good man!

When I first start her in the mornings... there is the lovely sound from the engine. Clutch depressed, obviously. Then when I bring up the clutch for the first time (usually reverse) there is an awful sound. Depress the clutch and it carry's on. Only stops when I do more than 5 mph (in 1st or reverse).... then never starts again, till the next time I start her from cold. Anyone else have this?

When I was having my wheels alligned... the guy who did them commented on how rusty she was underneath.... for such a NEW car! Got my private plate one, not sure how young he though my 2003 motor was! Anyway, is there anything I can do about my general rusting underneath? He didn't go into much detail and I can't really get under her to have a good look..... Anyone know if I should get her Shultz'd or something?

Can anyone point me to a post recommending all the different oils for changing? Think I want to change EVERYTHING in the car... just so I know it has been done. Sure I saw a post for it somewhere, searched but the bloomin' search function won't accept words with only three letters... i.e.. OIL Anyone help me out? Engine, transmission, axle.... etc.... everything! I have decided I am going to go down the OEM route and get her into tip top perfect original condition (as far as I can!) Cheers peeps!

I have two door related Q's... First of all... I think my drivers door has dropped slightly. Can anyone tell me if they think it has, and how easy this is to rectify yourself? Drivers... (Not a great photo, but the gap is pretty big! Passengers... Also on the drivers side, the little triangle at the top of the wing mirror mount has split... Anyone know if it is easy to replace? Drivers... Passengers...

My sister took her Twingo to the stealers for an MOT, they said she needed a new driver seat in her 4 year old car! She took it to task... took the written report they did to her local VOSA center, they checked it and said there was NOTHING wrong with it! VOSA are currently investigating My sister LOOKS like a typical Dizzy Blonde, and they obviously thought they could screw her out of £500 odd quid. Little did they know she used to work on the front desk at an AUDI Parts/Service section at her local dealers. Glad your girlfriend if clever enough to raise it and not just pay.

Q. How much is it to TAX a 350Z? A. Before 2006, it is £245, After and including 2006, it is £435. (Prices good at date of posting)

Q. Why does is my BOSE headunit skipping? A. Short answer ... they just do. Get it replaced.

Q.What is the high pitch whine coming from behind me? Sounds like a stereo being on, but with no sound? A.Could be one of two things.. 1. The fuel pump is fitted behind you. It could be that. 2. The amps for the stereo are also behind you and are on all the time. Even when the stereo is not on. N.B. A Tonneau cover can help with both of these issues. Q. My headlight washers don't work, any tips? A. Make sure your washer bottle is filled ALL THE WAY UP. Your windscreen washers can work with a low washer bottle level, but your headlight washers may not.

Cheers CS...

SHITE... I didn't know he was a member! He was a good friend of my sister and brother-in-law. I only met him a few times, didn't even know he has a Zed. Seemed like a top bloke every time I met him. Sad, sad loss.

Got a phone call from my sister last night, one of her friends and a friend just died.... I met him a few times. Decent bloke. No idea what his driving was like. But it shows you need to always take car in these things... Or does it just show you always need to take car in ALL cars....? http://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk/ne ... ticle.html Sorry Ian and Hayley. RIP.

Just seen one at my Nissan Dealers... I thought they looked awful on the adverts... but in the flesh? OMG... SO AWFUL! The front light clusters look like they were too big, they put them in anyway, then slammed the bonnet down! They stick out and look terrible. Sorry, not my cup o' char

+1 that Japan is great. I had a 10 hour lay-over there when I was on my way to NZ for work. Managed to get into Tokyo, very very cool. Would love to go back for a proper trip!
