Went to pick it up, ready for a row...manager comes out and says, "we've fixed the problem" Massive relief!!! What they reckon is that there was a build up in the throttle body, which they said was probably down to them and what they used to clean the filter (or something like that)...anyway they cleaned it and there's now no problems I asked them about their MOTs and the limited slip diff and they said that they are aware of the problem with rolling roads, but they use a roller that doesn't damage the diff - whether that's true or not, I have no idea, I'm just relieved to have my zed back! Thanks everyone for your help though!!! [still gonna go to abbey next year]

Thanks Alex, I may well be in touch !

if its out of warranty i wouldn't bother with a dealer stamp. I'm supposed to have a P1 right about now, but gonna only look out for the P2/P3 ones and even then I won't go to the stealers. P1 is basically an oil change that I can do myself for about £80 less than what a stealer would ask, and my MOT will be done by my local garage which do know their stuff. I don't blame you for doing the P1 yourself. As they were explaining to me that they couldn't have done anything to cause the problems as for a P1 all they do is the oil and filter, I wondered how the hell then they could charge £200+ for it. Having said that, is that true that the throttle body would be nowhere near where they were working?

The car is still at the dealers. If they don't offer to fix it free of charge (which I seriously doubt), I'll take it away and try to pedal reset to get the error code, then if it's not the throttle body . If it's not the diff, I'll take it to abbey, wish I'd done that in the first place, all this for a small nissan stamp in a service book

Thanks for your advice. When they ran their diagnostic they said it shows it's the throttle body at fault. Is there any way I can tell whether it is in fact the diff or would I need to find someone with a similar diagnostic tool to be sure? I.e. they break the diff, say it's the throttle body and therefore not their fault, charge me 1000 to put it right, but actually replace the diff - or am i just being cynical now?

They said it went on the rolling road for the MOT, could that have damaged it?

Took my car in for its P1 service + MOT today at a main dealer. All fine on the drive there. Go to pick the car up, they say that it passed with flying colours, no problems, but as I pull away, straight away the car feels shite and I notice the engine warning light is on, and the traction control warning light. So I turn straight back round and back to the garage. They run a diagnostic and say the throttle body has gone. Also, while the mechanic is running the test, he says, it might be the throttle body, I've had one go like this before... They say they haven't done anything that could have caused this and it's just a coincidence that it's gone. But that doesn't ring true. Apparently there's not much to go wrong with a throttle body, so is it likely that they've had more than one go during a service? And that they could predict that's what the problem would be without even driving the car themselves? I don't know much about the mechanics of a car, so have no idea, just feels like a massive coincidence that it went during the service, they didn't notice anything and it wasn't spotted until I go to drive away. I've got to go back later to talk to the manager, but am assuming that he's just going to say tough, it's not our fault, it's just coincidently gone. Anyone have any advice on this (apart from take it somewhere like abbey next time!), is it likely to just be a coincidence, i.e. they go after a certain time or is there something I should be suspicious about, e.g. ragging the crap out of the car to hear the K1.

Mine fit like a glove, the only problem I had were the old bolts. I'd definitely get in touch with japspeed if I were you!

Sorry to hijack...would this fit a 2004? Ta. it looks like a pre MY06 bumper anyway. To many slats in the grill and no dimple section in the front apron. Think the ebayer has wrongly listed in year 07 bumper looks like this the one listed is this Thanks. Although only just spotted it's pickup only from manchester, miles away

Saw this guide before, not sure if it's any good http://www.350zclub.org/BM-shifter.shtml Steve

Err, they're audio files

The novelty factor is still there, so not got a problem with cabin noise, more focused on driving through all the car parks and tunnels I can find. Apart from that the car's pretty standard, didn't notice any backfire (will listen again later). Planning on booking it into abbey for the uprev tuning next month @4 sec on the standard clip Just had a listen, I hear what you mean...reckon it was just a bit of unburnt fuel probably because the car was still cold.
