R800NER

I'll pass thanks! Car is back from detailing and looooks AWESOME.

I hope you have somebody to rub in your cream, especially with your mankini! Don't think I want that short straw buddy

JEALOUS Hope you enjoy it mate, the car looks more meaty now, just need the wheels, skirts and badges and you have a stunner! Makes me wonder what mine would have looked like now See you Sunday

Don't think I have time to refurb badges in time, I also have clicky axel, kerbed my nismo rim today due to a C**T coming on my side of the road and lastly....and MR2 hit the back of me on a hoon.

Received Meet you at Cherwell

perfect, how much is seperate parking for him? Will he just need his ticket to walk in to meet us?

Niether am I, just my passenger has a dilema. He wants to view an RX7 and the only time he can do it is on Sunday. Is he able to park his car in regular parking and use his ticket to catch up with me inside the main club parking? (leaving his car elsewhere). That way, he can leave early and view the RX7? Any ideas? As I would like to stick with you lot till the end!

I think Nurrish should donate this for it? viewtopic.php?f=32&t=23304

Same! What time does this event "finish" ?

I can bring cake to the Silverstone meet, might be a bit stale!

I'm not trying to drag out my 21st birthday any further, but check out this birthday cake I got! Fantastic surprise!!! Not quite sure the wheels are the same size as mine, nor offer the same amount of grip

Thanks Alex, I am building up a case against it using the following. The P3 service is ticked to show that they have touched/serviced/observed the driveshaft and also the healthcheck shows that they have visually checked the driveshaft. I paid £415 labour for the service, MOT and brakes to be fitted.... so surely at some point during the healthcheck and service they would have noticed it not being greased. I mean that is why I am paying them and quite clearly it hasn't been checked? The zed went into their workshop without a noise, they do their checks and service etc and suddenly there is a noise and I need to spend £146 to fix it, yet it's something that should have been noticed in the checks/service? She said it's only an hours labour to sort the problem and maybe that "taking my wheels off dislodged it"... which sounds like bullpoo to me. I need as much input to this as possible as I fear that they are trying to make a quick bit of money out of me and I need to fight my corner if this is the case. Thanks guys

Right, so the bolts for a drive shaft side flange isn't a permenant fix, it's just a grease and rotate job. I would like to put the blame on them, as the car was fine, now it's not. Am I likely to be able to do this with the evidence I have (P3 service records)? or is this a case that I need to pay this £146 and be done with it?

Clicking rear axle too, but other than that...they are pretty sound!

Seems normal, I found the gearbox quite clunky at first, especially a noisy clunky 1st -> 2nd change, which I still suffer from

Not entirely sure, he said that he doesn't know how, but since the service...they have got dry. He said that they have to take of the wheels to do the brakes etc and this may have dislodged it and it's now dry. Just seems weird that that car is mechanically sound, then suddenly it's clicking and "dry". I am not tech savvy enough to understand this and I don't know how that explanation passes up against your wisdom?

Right, bit of a problem. Took it to Nissan westway today, they came out with me and heard the noise. I said, it wasn't like this when I gave it to you, it must be coming from the brakes or the rear axle. They put it up on ramps and came back and said "Not sure how, I can't explain it, but your rear axles are dry and that's causing the clicking. You need to buy some bolts (39606 22PO19 bolts) for the drive shaft side flange as it's dry" My P3 service has a tick where they touched the driveshaft, Yet they said that they did not cause this? or check in the service?? Surely the P3 service and MOT would have spotted this problem, especially with a roadtest after fitting the discs/Pads. Seems too much of a coincidence..... the bill is now £146.72 and can't be done till they get parts June 6th, but the car is safe to drive till then. Am I being ripped off? are they likely to have caused this?

Ouch

This will save me a few pennys

So I can give them hassle for this? I mean surely the clicking axle would have been noticed after 3.5 years, I have had the car for a few months before the service, not clicking then.

Popcharger is now my favorite modification. After a warm day of V6 growl, I am actually in love.

I went passed you, then you came passed me and gave me a wave.

I love my zed, it's perfect and had no faults as it was well looked after by MarkW. However, I just had it in Westway for a P3 service, MOT and discs/pads all round. Since getting it back, I have noticed that there is a clicking sound. When I turn at low speeds or accelerate in 1st/2nd/3rd, there is a loud clicking from presumably the rear axel. The car is out of warranty, but seeing I am sure he would have had it fixed if it was apparent over 3 years of the car. So Westway have done something to it or it's just a massive co-incidence. Do you think I can ring them and say what exactly have they done to my baby? I know in the P3 service they touch the transmission among other thing

Dodgy! I will be at the services for 7.45am too, I want a front row parking spot

Yes the Bodyshop should be able to sort you out there.
