Awesome stuff, can you drop me a pm re price etc :-) Cheers, Matt

Having got under my car today, I've confirmed that the vacuum pipe that is connected to / part of the filler neck has rusted out (and leaks when the petrol tank is full). I've attached a pic (from the net) showing the section that has rusted out. Seems weird as there is no rust on any other visible part of the pipe. Has anyone had similar issues? Looks like it will be a pain to replace :-( My local Nissan parts department have also told me that the part is currently unavailable in the UK (they are going to come back to me next week to advise when they will be available). Any advice gratefully received!

Finally got round to getting this issue sorted. I've been under the car and couldn't find anything obvious amiss re front suspension. My plan of attack was going to be.........fit a new pair pair of banana arms and be done with it. However, I thought I would just get my local mechanic to have a butchers up on the ramp. He located a very small amount of play in the n/s inner tie rod (steering rack end jobbie). I wasn't convinced based on what I have read about tricky banana arms causing 'hard to diagnose' knocks, but hey presto, it was the inner tie rod banging away. I got the garage to replace it (£11 part) and can now enjoy my Z again. Hope this helps someone who is trying to track down an annoying knock :-)

Cheers :-)

.....am I correct in thinking that changing the banana arm for a new item will mean I've covered both possibilities (ie: replaced both the bushes and the ball joint)?

Following with interest, I seem to have the exact same knocking issue that has cropped up over the last few days. Seem to be coming from the front offside and seems to reduce a little when braking while maintaining speed, but does not disappear completely. I'm thinking time for a new pair of control arms / banana bars (ARB drop links have been changed recently), I assume this is the part I require: https://www.importcarparts.co.uk/parts-info?id=12895&cat=87⊂=120&sec=963&var=38&dc=0&gen=&searchKey=&searchPart= Cheers in advance!

I have the exact same issue at the moment. I jacked the car up and noticed some play in the FNS bearing, so fitted a replacement hub kit - guess what, the noise is still notable (although perhaps not quite as loud). No other notable play in any of the other bearings, but I reckon one them must also be on the way out - frustrating!

Folks, My Bose head unit needs replacing! I want to retain the steering wheel controls / sub, what are the popular options? Cheers in advance

Brilliant, thanks for the info Rob!

Thanks for all the info folks - I'll have a ponder what to do. The issue only occurs when playing CDs, radio fine. Rob, can you let me know what head unit you installed and if it was compatible with the sub & steering wheel controls? Chees

Just recently my passenger door speaker has starter cutting in and out, but only when I'm playing CDs (fine when listening to the radio). I was hoping that the issue would be a loose connection but it would appear not (just read the 'how-to' guide on here) - any pointers or am I defo looking at stripping down the head unit? Cheers in advance
