  1. Find out what the code is that's causing the EML. That will tell you an awful lot
  2. http://www.cjautos.eu/product_p/cm05b.htm
  3. Does anyone have any experience of mobile axle stands like the ones cj autos sell? My garage is too narrow to get the wheels off in it. I've now got all the bits to do my rear suspension overhaul including removing subframe. My plan was to back the car out of the garage, jack it up, put it on axle stands, do some work, but when it's time to put back in the garage jack it up and put the rear end on the mobile stands and then push car back into the garage. Once back inside I'd put it back on normal axle stands. Repeat procedure for as many days as needed. Before I go buy one I'm wondering if anyone has good/bbad experience with them. http://www.cjautos.eu/product_p/cm05b.htm
  4. Tarmac sells his own brand for a good price which are good quality
  5. Nice to drive and good interiors though. We looked at that and the Santa Fe when we found out Helen was pregnant. Then we found it was twins and ended up with a bus.

    Key it, clean it, prime it, spray it.

    Their quality now compared to 15 years ago is fantastic. My 300 came with a Fujistubo exhaust. It's 15 years old and is well and truly rotted.
  8. Start by identifying what it is that's wrong with your suspension. Get it up on a ramp or axle stands and give all the suspension a good push/pull/wwiggle. See if anything makes a grinding or banging noise. Look for any obvious damage or broken parts. Check for oil leaks from the shocks. Pointless spending £100s on parts that you may not need Or that may not fix the problem.
  9. Why do you always do practices at Teesside when I'm at work?!
  10. What offset did you buy them in? The site shows available in 3 different ones.
  11. Well that just put a spanner in my future car plans....
  12. Might be worth starting a Sticky thread with a list of "rent a ramp" places around the UK with reviews as to the costs and available kit.
  13. Nissan won't care what it looks like so long as it starts winning. And then Audi will get it banned for some concocted reason.
  14. "Winter's here in Scotland" (Sorry, it'd drive me crazy all night if I did not correct the title)
  15. Centre caps are bastardised. They have part of the Works emblem on the reverse (but they've been butchered to fit).
  16. It's bugging the hell outta me. Been stripping a 300zx breaker today and these were on it. Horrible wheels imo but I need to know what they are. It's like an itch!
  17. Any ideas? They have a slight concave and look like some TSW wheels. They have multi stud pattern fitment and ar 17's.
  18. You can't really call them Stealth cameras when there are bloody signs everywhere warning that there are cameras.
  19. Halfords have a Garage essentials sale on. 3t ratchet axle stands half price at £15. 170 piece socket set at £115. 200 piece at £150 (half price)
  20. The uneven "waves" in the carbon look weave would drive my OCD nuts!
  21. That's a shame. It's too much of a faff on to do without moderator access so when I stepped down I stopped doing it. Neil did look at taking it on, but then his work life got crazy busy. Hopefully it'll be revived sometime in the near future
  22. I'll look later bud. Up to my ears in paperwork at the moment.
