Been checking out all the bits and bobs on my Turbo R and generally enjoying ownership.

Been averaging 14 to 18 mpg on normal ;-) use and have cured the "low mineral oil" warning light by reading the instructions and topping it up properly. Need to get some work done on the rear wheel arch to bring her up to mint condition. Now, my parking brake either needs adjusting or repairing as it does not hold sufficiently. I have had a trawl on t'web but can't find any maintenance help. Before I dive under, can someone steer me to a maintenance manual of pdf of one as I haven't got round to buying a handbook yet.

Ta.

Parking brake adjusted.

MOT sailed through! Whoo hoo!

Now for that bubbly wheel arch..........

It occurs to me that the wheel arches suffer from a design fault as the 4 cars I viewed before buying all had evidence of rust starting in one or more wheel arches. Now for a 13 yr old nissan, yes expected, but on a beast that cost over £100k I'd be miffed if I'd spent that and didn't have better corrosion protection?

Any reasons why?
