  1. The feel of the clutch on my 05 DE has suddenly changed, would I be right in thinking its likely to be the Slave Cylinder?

    I've not had any slip issues and the change was sudden. Gears are still changing ok with no fluid loss. 

    My car is stock by the way and I believe its on the original clutch at 43000 miles.  

    Which Slave Cylinder should I replace it with, OEM or upgrade? 

  2. I clean my roof with soap and a nail brush, I then seal it with FABSIL. I do it once a year and water beads well. 

    I apply the FABSIL with a sponge making sure the edges and stitched areas are coated well.

    My car is an 05 and still on its original roof which is in excellent condition.

    I had one small tear about 3mm long. Fixed it from the inside using a STORMSURE patch, made the repair two years ago and its not budged.

  3. I repaired a very small tear of about 5mm in my roof last summer using Stormsure tape. I put the tape on the inside of the roof and it seems to be holding up well.

    You'll pick it up dead cheap on E Bay. Might be worth a try....

  4. Just for info, the roof panels on all Nissan motors are the only outer panel which are pressed from uncoated material. All other outer panels have a zink coating. So the secret is to touch up any stone chips as soon as pos... Reason for being uncoated material is cost reduction and the fact it is a low corrosion risk panel.

  5. Hi,

    When I push my 05 DE to between 5 and 6000 revs i've started to get a sudden loss of power. Revs drop back to 4000 then its away again.

    Cam positions sensors perhaps?

    Runs perfect the rest of the time. Smooth tick over, easy start up etc...

  6. Got my car booked in at JM Imports for the end of the week.

    Ive bought all the fluids and parts for the following work.

     

    Enging oil and filter change.

    Aux belts to replace.

    Spark plug change.

    Coolant change.

    Gearbox and diff oil change.

    Brake and clutch fluid change.

     

    Check brakes.

    Give the car a full check over.

     

    Quote is £350/£400.

    Full days work at £50.00 an hour.

     

    Then it going in to have the wheels powder coated on Monday. That's another £300!

    Expensive couple of weeks! but that should be it sorted for a while.

  7. The rear of the sills and the rear wheel arches rust! Other than that they are bullet proof!

    Still plenty of good ones around. I wouldn't touch one that had a wheel arch repair. The filler can crack and the rust will probably come back at some point.

    Still miss my old Mk1 MX5!!
