Opel Zafira? by r.rain@btinternet.com
Hello all I am thinking of buying a 2002 Opel Zafira 1.8 elegance with 29k on the clock. I dont really know much about buying cars that have been imported so is there anything I should be aware of or should I just steer clear and by a vauxhall badged motor? The motor has been imported from Cyprus and Cyprus cars are normally right hand drive so it wouldn't of been converted in anyway.

Essentially they refuse to provide you with information to confirm their assertions ("The car's ready " / "we've been asked for the balance" / "the price has gone up" etc. etc.). By the time you've paid them it's too late and if...

getting import home by Jim Walsh
Hello all. I think this has been coveered to some extent before, but I haven't been able to find the answers I'm looking for: I'm about to buy a Jap import that has not yet been SVA tested or registered, but has had the relevant work done. The place I'm buying it from is some distance from my home, and I'm reluctant to leave the car there pending the test (there is quite a backlog of jobs at the...

Nissan radio by ttp@cix.compulink.co.uk
I've just bought an import Nissan Tarrano, all seems well apart from the radio: 1, I had forgotten that Japanese FM is 75 - 90 Mhz, is there any way to convert the fitted radio to UK frequencies. 2, There are a couple of buttons I don't understand, one is labelled CHG, the other )))) anyone have any idea what they are ? TIA

He thinks he's getting a bit of a discount here but at £300 / vehicle that seems hard to believe. Also when you consider this guy is doing...

Jap Import Radio Reception Problem by Arturo Ui
We have a Daihatsu YRV originally imported from Japan. The radio reception was non-existant with the original radio, so we have fitted another european-market radio/CD (this one worked well in her previous car) and have found that reception is still really poor and patchy. Should we change the aerial and co-ax cable? Has anyone else had this problem with a similar or other imported car? How...
