cheers guys

hi, I have a 2007 56 plate facelift GT. got it in jan, only done 17000 miles, very happy with it. I am intending to take it to a local dealer to have several issues addressed, all of which I believe are covered by warranty:

1. Skipping Bose head unit - mostly at motorway speeds - well covered by this forum, confident this should be sorted.

2. Bubbling on one (passenger rear) ray - varying experiences as far as I can see

3. Clicking rear axle - havent managed to see if this is covered by the warranty?

My question is this - should I be prepared to go in and argue my case for these issues to be sorted, or are they covered by things like technical service bulletins within nissan, which would be a valuable peice of knowledge to have before I go in. With car dealers doing less business these days, I could understand a reluctance to give service time to issues that may not be the fault of the dealership themselves. They may be more keen to allocate time to paying customers!

Has anyone gone in with documentation to support their case? Or is it worth giving Nissan GB a call beforehand and get their view on it?

And finally, anyone got experience of Nissan dealers within the glasgow area who are good to deal with?

Cheers

spotted in tesco car park at silverburn in glasgow this afternoon. Parked next to an R33. nice

In the car park park in front of the old building at around seven this morning

good one guys, good one.

This does not solve my problem though.

I still want that shirt.

...

he did indeed. i may make tentative enquiries about purchasing one.

I was watching a replay of an old top gear episode on iplayer today (think it was originally broadcast in 2007) which featured a rather funky 350z hawaiian shirt. Has anyone seen it?

I though it looked rather nice

cheers mate, allayed some fears.

I bought 2007 zed from a mitsibushi dealer in jan, had a year left on the warranty. Do i need to contact nissan to officially transfer the warranty over? And does the servicing need to be done at a main dealer to keep the warranty valid?

i suppose that would make even more sense. cheers!

fair enough. The warning light did not come on the dashboard though, even once the windshield had run dry. might need to check that one out

living and working in glasgow (west end) I do an average of 8 miles a day all in town, get around 250 miles from a tank (just before the light comes on) and my computer tells me I am averaging 16mpg.

all sorted. It would appear that there was enough fluid in there for the windshield but not enough for the headlamps. weird.

cheers mate. Its still under warranty so i will have a look at it tomorrow, if not i shall drop it by for some attention.

Does anyone know if the headlamp washers draw fluid from the main reservoir for the windshield wipers, or do they have a separate tank?

Looked in the owners manual to no avail. I press the button for the washers when the lamps are on full and there is a loud whirring noise but no water coming out.

Any ideas?

that exclusivety was one of the reasons i got one over a TT or Z4.

how about in the summer when I am not too scared to push the accelerator? drove today in the torrential lane, large aquaplane, think i soiled a little

I shall keep a firm eye on both feet, make everyone happy.

On a serious note though, I understand what you mean. had a few tail happy moments on the corners already. Bring on the summer, already got some sweet highland driving routes planned out, plenty of bends and twists to keep me happy

no worries chief, got the weekend off so I think the chammy is coming out, will see what I can do

Hi folks. Picked it up on saturday, its sweet! Now I know what you are all banging on about.

Dont feel too sorry, it was a dealer I got it from and i think the guy had traded it in against an evo so he must have had a decent margin in the first place! Pick it up on saturday, very excited.

he had it up for £16000 which was a steal for this car anyway, so it shows how tough things must be just now

just pm'd you mate

Hi everyone, tremendous news, managed to conclude a deal on the car at a hefty discount, got it for £14.5, which I am mighty pleased at to tell you the truth! going to give the car a final look over tonight, it seems to be in good nick, is there any common things i should look for when checking it out? they said they would service it before they give it to me.

Jay, I am living in the west end at the moment, yourself?
