Hmm. The noise. I suppose I could best describe as getting a plastic box. Sitck a bolt or something in there, and shake it around. But the rattling is in time with the engine, if you see what I mean. Haven't heard anything that I could describe as a clunk. Doesn't the flywheel only really wear if clutch is on it's way out? Which I haven't noticed any signs of... OH, and you can only really hear it with the window down!

What's with the weird numberplate?

Thanks guys! Doesn't sound like anything to worry about just yet then! It could well be something like a stone by the sounds of it. But it's go no warranty, so I'm certainly not paying £xxx just to diagnose something that isn't really a problem at the moment. Hopefully my motoring will remain expense free for a while longer yet. Apart from the service, £400 tax, and 2 new tyres which I will need shortly... I have noticed one other thing. After heavy rain, when I open the door, water pours out from the door sill. It never actually makes it into the footwells or anything, but it's clear it's made it do the sills through the exterior a bit. Is this another free "feature" of the car, or the sign of seals wearing? Thanks again!

Wow, what a difference... ... ...... Any other suggestions on the rattling?

It was a woman who owned it before. Who traded up to a merc. I may be sterotyping a little, but probably not the type to fit an uprated clutch The noise isn't necessarily at low revs. Just if a set off with a bit of speed and force. I've definitely heard it a circa 2.5k revs.

Well. I've had my z for a couple of months now. I'll save all I love it garb because, well you've heard it all before, and it's all true I just had a couple of questions. I have what I think is known as the "clicking rear axle" but it doesn't sound anything like a click. Unfortunately the search on this forum is...random in it's results. So I wonder if anyone can help. When I pull away with more than light force, I can heard the engine roar and spin. But for the first 0.5-1 second of doing this there is a rattling sound. It sounds like it's directly proportional to the revs of the engine, and doesn't sound anything like a click. But I don't see (or can't find) any other posts relating to this other than the clicky axle. Could it be the timing chain having a wobble under thrust? Or is it indeed the axle issue? The other question, not directly related to my car really. More curiosity. I've got an 06 facelift, and see mentions of a very mildly revised front bumper. But I can't for the life of me see any differences between them. Could someone show this moron what exactlty the difference is Thanks guys, You've been great. I'm here all week, try the chicken!

Tell me about it. I bought my 06 Z in November 09 for 15k. I'm kicking myself I didn't scrape up the extra money and buy a brand new 09 ( in Jan 09) GT/Nav for £19.5!!! Fuuuuuuuuuu

I've never understood why people say low tread tyres don't grip as well in anything other than wet conditions. I mean, even I find them ssame. But I'm confused as to why. If your tread is low, isn't it irrelevant if the road doesn't have any snow or water (not damp) on it? Surely the compound is the same quality all the way through?

Not everyone can afford to buy a Z, new or used with cash monies! Why would you have to justify your car to your other half. Give her a slap round the face and tell her to shaddap. Unless she wants another slap for the other side of her whingey little face!* * I do not condone domestic violence.** ** Much *** *** Except when she deserves it.

Why would you want to remove your rear wiper blade? That's for, ya know...Clearing it of rain and crud. RainX is a poor, POOR substitute for an actual wiper.

Anyone tried NFS shift? I've got that on the PC and I just tried the forza demo on my xbox. NFS lookes miles miles better. I've been rocking around with a 350 for a while I don't think you'll get the customisability like with Forza though. Do you play with a wheel?

Washington right. Washington Wyne and Wear?

I bet that badboy is gonna make a mean rib-eye.

It has pressies now. That was a post decoration photo. To revel in the workmanship. I haven't figured out how to put a body kit or plenum spacer on it yet though...

snow + Zed = Hah. I just mean in a car park. At about 10mph!

I can't wait for a bit more snow. I'm new to Z ownership and don't want to be experimenting with over steer on public roads at 60mph!

Do you have a Zed or are you looking to buy one? I might be looking to buy one. Are they rear wheel drive. I also heard there is a beam in the boot that restricts space. is this true? Also, what's the difference between the GT pack and non GTpack, with JDM pack? Bob You are asking questions that are regularly get asked and are well covered in the FAQ section on the forum - the search button is your friend and all the answers will be there. But I am surprised you need to ask the question as to whether a 350 is rear wheel drive after 68 posts - and the answer, is yes it is What. No angry faces. Just a thumps up! Damn you guys are hard to troll. Must be the christmas air!

100% real, and 720 LED lights on that bad boy!

Hi Guys. i'm new here. Im not sure if this is in the right place, or if there's a search function. I can't be bothered to read really. But what are the differences between the 05,06 and 07 350's. Cheeers. Bob.

I think that's nifty, it's does indeed make you quite sad, but that doesn't matter. Everyone's a sad geek about something. Cars, computers, blow up dolls. Whatever. Embrace it! As long as you're not socially crippled it's fine IMO

With all those mods as well, and doesn't use the engine properly. Do everyone a favour and chop it in for a diesel

That's an awesome bargain. Not listed damaged either... Even if it costs him thousands, he's still got it dirt cheap... I didn't see the photos, was it a proper 07 with the bulge, and how many miles?

Correct me if I'm wrong. But isn't the 07 supposed to be noticeably faster than the previous models. Due to the change in measurement of BHP. Quarter miles seems to suggest the same (Anything up to 1 second quicker) Kinda gutted I don't have an 07. But you have to draw a line somewhere!

How did you get such a clear self portrait done biscuit?
