Hi Guys Someone decided it would be a good idea to kick the mirror off my car on the way home from the pub on sat :-( - need a new one urgently. The mirror/motor itself is ok, but the (what i would call) backing plate has been cracked. is it possible to get this seperate or is it all one piece?? Even if you have a driver side mirror available, please get in touch Thanks in advance Dave

yeah, nothing obvious. had bent the plate behind the disc back incase it was rubbing....sounds like that kind of noise, but no joy

Hello All, Looking for a bit of advice. when im doing any sort of sharp turn i'm getting a metal on metal sort of sound from my driver side front wheel. any thoughts what it could be?

yeah, been keeping it below 3k revs the past week to see if it improved - it didnt! think i'm going to get the exhaust looked at, its my main area of suspision. all the factory joinging points are quite badly decayed

yeah, 25-27 is what i'm trying to achieve! only tried the coasting over the last week to see if it made a difference - it didnt!

thanks! i dont expect it to be doing 40mpg or anything, just think mine is going a bit harsh! will be getting the exhaust leaks checked soon and will have a look at the MAF this weekend hopefully. 28 - 32mpg is the stuff of dreams for me....if i could get it to 26/28 i'd be delighted! Main reason for this post was just to see if anyone had done anything or had anything fail that changes their mpg for better or worse!

Yeah, i take it fairly easy, only rake it now and again. I know it will never be economical, just accepted that it was that bad, but these ones my mates been driving seem a fair bit higher. I'm based in Belfast, have a Zed specialist who has gone independant that looks after the car, going to throw it up to him soon, just wondering if anyone had any similar experiences or thing to look out for. Could the rotting joins on the exhaust contribute?? Going to get them cut out and replace with stainless steel soon too

well i'm getting 70 miles to £20 according to the fuel gauge??

Hello All! I've never been under any illusion that a 350z is an economical car to drive where fuel is concerned, however I think mine is under performing a bit and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I'm currently getting 21.6 mpg, and thats from alot of freewheeling and driving about like someones granny. A friend of mine is looking to buy a Z and the ones he has been test driving are getting between 26 & 28mpg without a problem, mines a 2004 and i've owned it 2 years and never seen it close to that. The car is well serviced and has had oil and plugs replaced recently, tyre pressures regularly topped up and run on super unleaded. Could carrying out the "fuel gauge fix" improve the MPG reading....or is there anything else I should look for? Thanks in advance Dave

Hello, need help again!!! Getting next to no water out of my front wipers, so i've bought a new pump! anybody got a step by step on how/where to fit it??

looks like it was my turn!!!that's it sorted, thanks!!!

Hello, Just a quick one (I hope) my passenger side window has decided to stop going up and down via either the driver side or passenger side switch. It had worked without fault until the other day. Reading various other posts i suspected the motor was the problem, but when i open and close the door the window still goes up and down as it always would have. Is there a relay or fuse for the passenger window switches??

Help required asap!!! When wiring up my reverse camera i put the wire to the positive of the reverse light instead of the ground....now i have no reverse light! I've been in the fuse box under the bonnet and the one beside the accelerator but cannot find the fuse! anyone able to point me in the right direction...or if there is something else i should be looking at?!

hmmm makes things a bit more difficult....maybe easier just to wire it to the reverse light aswell??
