My 300zx was driven off by its new owners, leaving me with £500 in crisp new notes. A sad day (not helped by my wife doing cartwheels of joy down the drive way). It is now sitting for sale in a local Edinburgh garage, and if anyone fancies it, make sure they have done the brake pipe and...

My 300 has just failed its MoT and needs a couple of brake pipes replaced and some welding. I believe the brake pipes are a bit of pain, and my garage is not too keen to do it. I have to sell the car (wife has lost patience) but don't know whether to sell before or after fixing it up. Any...

Guys, thanks for the advice. It has been a while since I used this website (sorry) so can someone help me out on how I find the contact details for AndyZ and Rice Rocket or Ken. Thanks The bad news is the wife now fancies a 3-4 year old BMW 320 to replace my beautiful ZX. Life of a...

Can anyone help me. My 1992 300zx is leaking petrol through a hole in the bottom of the tank. The garage I took it to is quoting 1 month lead time to get a new tank. Are there any specialists in Edinburgh (or for that matter Scotland) that might be able to fix this problem any quicker. The...

i cheated and got my local garage to do it (sorry i'm a fan of the car, but know nothing about engines), and he put in 5L. however, i do have a bit of a leak, so perhaps it was coming out as quickly as it was going in.

Thanks for that, will try them this weekend. the wife is getting a bit fed up of the car leaking oil on the driveway!

My 1994 UK 300zx is really in need of a good service, and I don't think the local Arnold Clark Nissan dealership could really cope with it. Can anyone recommend a garage in the Edinburgh area that could give my car a good once over and not rip me off. Ta

Ok, everyone, tonight is the big night. 8pm on Channel 4. No guarantee the car will make it through the editing process, as they may focus on the fact I am getting married in September rather than my inability to reverse park, but should be amusing to watch anyway. enjoy!

Some of you may have read my last posting about the potential for my 1992 UK 300ZX being on Location, Location, Location. They certainly filmed it a lot, but you never know what they will do in the edit suite. So, for those of you willing to watch, my house hunt will be covered on Channel 4...

should be on near the end of August. I'll post the finalised date nearer the time when they let me know

Kirstie is a real diva and threw a few tantrums during shooting. Phil is really nice and genuine. They do seem to get on (although apparently Phil threw a bit of a wobbly at her a couple of shoots ago). Overall, the show is great fun to do, but terrifying for the first day as the camera never...

Found a house we want, but the Scottish system is so annoying. Will have to wait till it goes to a closing date and hope that no one offers a higher amount. So fingers crossed and I should know in a week or so.

I hope I have not tarnished the reputation of Nissan 300 owners everywhere, but my bog standard 300 (1992 turbo) stands a very good chance of making its TV debut. I have just filmed Location, Location, Location and Phil thought it would be great to have our one-on-one interview while looking my...

Can anyone help.  When for a long drive at the weekend, and after about 50 miles my gearstick and transmission tunnel  became hot to touch.  The car felt fine and there were no other obvious symptoms.  Does anyone know what could cause this and what i need to do to fix it. Thanks
