    Fuel Consumption...beat This

    Hi when I read surprisingly economical; for the car it is, I almost collapsed. Since 1999, I could have bought three of them, with the amount of fuel it used since day 1! My terrible experience with West London Nissan, burned me badly. After 7 years of having the car and seeing 150miles /...

    Rear Fog Lights

    FOG Lamps BY SENSE Resistors Having taken out two of the Brake Lamps from the Brake lamp circuit, and using them for FOG Lamps, you may notice that the "LIGHTS" alarm comes on each time you use the brakes. This is because the lamp sense system is not getting sufficient current, when the brakes...

    Non Starter

    Once again my dear ZXTT has stopped. Turning well, and lots of fuel smell (there goes the cats?) The transistor block was replaced only 4 years ago... so I would not think they have gone again.

    Rear Fog Lights

    Fog Lights This is exactly what I have done.. the inner two Brake lamps are easy to bypass, and use as Fog Lamps. Originally I used one of the reverse lamps, and inserted red jells into the clear lens section. However the ,loss of one of the reverse lights made nightime manouvering in...

    matrix Was the matrix a reconditioned one. Its possible the matrix is ok, but the connections have perished. Over tightening the hoses, may bleed under pressure. Taking the matrix out.. would be best to get it pressure tested. Often the big expensive bits are not the problem, but a simple...

    Fuel smell via Airvents

    Dead on! Yes, despite the fuel filter hosing beinmg replaced by Nissan only a year ago... after a few minutes it gives a pressure spurt, and a good sized drop about once every 10 seconds was pumping out. All other fuel lines as indicated are fine. They had used the wrong hosing, and it had...

But nosing around there is a lot of rich petrol air around the very front of the engine. Still can't pinpoint...
