  1. Hi All I want to drain my cooling system (L24 - 1973 - 240 Z) and in Haynes Workshop Manual (datsun 240z,260 z and 280 Z) page 37, section 2 - 4 - it says that to drain the cooling system completly, the cylinder block plug must be unswrewed. It should be on the left-hand side of the motor. Does any one know precise where to look or have a picture of the cylinder block plug? I just can't find it. best regards Thomas
  2. the good this about getting a new (old) car, is that you learn a lot. The problem with the ligth was a fuse, that was only "semi" blown, that I have never seen before, now I also know where the fuse box is. Have also found out, that the hole wiring in the back is messed up, need to cut some wires and connect them the rigth way. Must buy Haynes best regards Thomas
  3. I am afried so. But what is this fuselink - a wire with a fuse inside? Is this also for the headligth? What is the best book to buy on technicial tips for 240Z? I have haynes manual for my 911, but it is of very littel use, due to bad pictures. Is haynes for 240 of any good?
  4. forgot to mention: The left ligth stay dim, no matter if it is the diving ligth or long ligth Rigth side works fine on both positions
  5. Hi All I am new it to z (have 1973 -240 Z)- and I have a small (hopeful) problem with my rigth headligth. When I got the car, both head ligths where very dim, only giving very littel ligth. To get more ligth (shortly to get though MOT) I installed 80W / 100 W bulb, BUT: After 1 one houre the left headligth went very dim. Now I have installed 55 w / 60 W bulb (new) again, but the left headligth stays dim. I have checked voltage and it reads about 11 volts (both on rigth and left side) meausered at the connection in the front. I have takes the left side wiring, from connection in the front out, and tried it on the rigth side, and here it works fine (so wiring to bulb in left side seem ok) One funny thing is, is I unplug rigth headligth, there is now ligth (what so ever) in left side, is that normal (serial connected)? Can anyone give me a hint where to look for a solution to the problem? Where is the relay for the headligth located? I also need to know it the following is normal on a 240 Z: When I use the turn indicator, the side position ligths (yellow front / red back) also blinks? Is that normal? My problem is, that it is not legal in Denmak that the back red position ligths blinks, so I need to get them to stay on (as the position lamps ) in the tail. I hope some one can help me, so I can get my z though MOT, then pay registration fee, and then get some licens plats. best regards Thomas
