There goes the neighbourhood!!! Glad you had a good time bud, when are you coming down to visit me in sunny Sussex!!

Hmmm carbon!! I'll give you a call in a bit Phil!!!

Congrats mate, onwards & upwards!!

Legend!!

+1 Would agree, it's what I am doing, at least for the time being unless I run out of storage space!

Yeah, I lived there for just over three years! No offence to anyone that may live there but in my humble opinion it is the biggest dump of a city I have ever lived in but I probably had the best laughs up there I have ever had!! As you say...."those were the days!"

Mine was a 998cc Metro with an MG Turbo front grill and a sticker on the side saying "Go Go Metro" Classic car!! Bought for £500 and sold for £500 two years later when it could no longer make the 280 mile trip to Hull Uni & back once a year! First car written off was my XR2i that I bought to replace the Metro. Myself and two mates in it parked up on the side of the road and we got rammed by a 32 tonne articulated truck!! You can guess the outcome!!

If I remember correctly, when I took mine apart, the strut bar cover is only held down by a few clips! Best bet is to simply stick something like an old towel in behind it or put some blue-tac in where the clips go in so it stops rattling.

+1 I use 5W30 in mine and have done for the last 40k miles (with changes) and the Z loves it!

89% downloaded...almost there!!

Have the same phone, ended up getting a Parrot kit and hardwiring it in.

Massive thanks for the wiring diagrams!! They were a great help as is the rest of the maunal!!! By way of an update, the switch is throwing out some weird voltage readings so think it could be that but still not 100%. Just for the information logs, if the electrics do go and you need to raise the window, it is possible to do it manually whilst still locking it in situ. The whole door has to be stripped down ie: door card off, metal plate off, all bronze locator screws taken off. The motor and housing has to be removed from the silver facia and then using a 1/4" drive in the middle of the motor housing, the window can be raised maually. Just remember to leave a slight gap at the top as the window won't self-drop or self-raise if the electrics have gone!!! It's a bit of an effort and needed 3 of us to do it as one has to hold the window, one the motor and housing and the other wound the window up but as a short term solution it is do-able.

I'm after a passenger side electric window switch and motor if posible!!

Still hasn't got a DB9 though has he!!

I don't suppose anyone has a relevant wiring diagram at all do they????

Found the fusebox, cheers for that!! All fuses etc are fine! Just about to rip the door apart and see what's what again!!!

As soon as I get around to fitting my Tein Coilovers, I will have my old ones going and I am based near Crawley, West Sussex so not a million miles away. Will be at least a couple of weeks before I can get them on though due to workload at the moment.

Excellant, thanks for the help mate! On a sidenote, does anyone know where the internal fuse box is located? I know of the one by the battery but I am assuming there is an internal one as well!! Nissan have quoted me £365 for a new motor!!

Today we have all lost a legend........... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/6997134.stm RIP

I will make a list of what is available and let you know!!

Need some help! For some strange reason, my passenger window has stopped working! I have had both door cards off and checked all the connections and they look fine. I haven't checked the fuse as i'm not sure where it is but i'm not too concerned about the fuse as I would assume that the window motor alone wouldn't have a seperate fuse...I would assume it would be for either both windows or for the whole left door and my drivers door and both mirrors still work electrically. I am a tad reluctant to take the metal plate off the door as it is a nightmare re-aligning the window runners with the bolt holes so my question is.....does anyone have an idea of what it could be??? The assumption I am working on is that is could be the motor itself has failed and I can check this by checking the cabling going into it to see if it is showing a charge but I would have to take the metal plate off and I would rather not for the time being if I don't have to!!! I have done a search but there doesn't seem to be anything of use on fuses or window problems but I did find something called a "Windows Reset Procedure" (If anyone says push Ctrl, Alt + Delete I won't find it funny!!! ) Does anyone know what this procedure is so I can try it??? Any ideas??? Thanks in advance guys

Genius!!!

and me!!!!!

No worries mate!! you need to choose your weapons of choice as well!
