  1. Just noticed all the above, yep, it's an import
  2. I might be wrong but I doubt it's an import, the reg plates are all wrong but can be changed Also, it has an 80 litre tank, thought was was only a uk thing
  3. No rear spoiler, perhaps he took it off, find out if he still has it? Depends on what you prefer I guess That's also a HR engine with 309 HP, the ad states 280 so another thing to ask, other than that, looks fine and clean
  4. Welcome to the club, Put it this way, I moan to the wife something rotten when we need to take her 206 out because of the extra seats, Give me the zed any day and a huge smile
  5. We will find out soon enough, I have just this Friday sent my 08 reflectors to Marzman for the same reason. I picked up a clear set from chilli red. He'll get back to me when he gets them which should have been today or Monday,
  6. Welcome to the wonderful world of zed ownership
  7. How old is the car, I found Nissan main dealer to be pretty poor with little experience with the zed. I'm based in Watford, and go to japex in Kings Langley (M1 Junc 6) for service or anything else, Ross is a top guy and knows his stuff, also get a discount as a forum member, I would go to see him first, his number can be found using the search button at the top
  8. If you burn music straight from iTunes I believe that makes it into an audio cd - not a cd filled with mp3s? Didn't know that, cheers
  9. Erm, I bef to differ, I have a 313 GT and have burnt music from iTunes onto a cd which plays just fine in the Bose system
  10. My work also does a cycle to work scheme and quite a few of us have taken the offer up. A bike you don't have to pay any tax on is worth taking advantage on. I got a Boardmans Hybrid bike worth £850 and really rate it. I do about 60 miles a week on it mostly in London and not only is it getting me fitter, I do not have to ride on that horrible underground. The other benefit is that I am saving loads of money on petrol in the zed and not racking up the mileage. But I do negate that by missing the drive so go out on a nice long blast on the twisties with a huge smile on my face
  11. 08 plate 30k 17k when bought 1 1/2 years ago, used to be a daily driver, cycle most of the time now (only way to get rid of the belly)
  12. 04 sunset coupe. I'm parked behind you
  13. Paid 17k last year for at the time a 1 year old ebisu coupe GT 2008 model, no mods of yet, still waiting for the warranty to run before I mess about with it and still loving every second in it
  14. My parents car has had a rough time of it of late It's a 2005 corsa 1.3 cdti and for the past month has been off road, They have had a quote for the repair but I think they may be getting screwed over the garage it's with now claim it needs a new engine, turbo, cam belt and gasket Recon engine at £880 New turbo at £284 Gasket for £42 Chain belt £150 Plus £600 labour and Vat on tip costing a total £2115 (a small discount was added) I still feel it's too much and doubt all that work is actually needed, any suggestions, parents are in Corby near Kettering

    Event Tyres

    Despite the reviews I decided to take the plunge and booked event tires to fit Falkens 452's all round, guy was round this morning at 0800 as asked and called up 15 min before hand. Only took him 45 mins and did a very good job, left the alloys spotless and used hidden weights without being asked would def recommend them again. Cost me £466 for all 4 452's fitting, balancing etc, very good considering I needed them by the weekend for a long drive ahead of me. I must say, soo much better then the RE040's that were on it and much less tyre noise
  16. Hi and welcome to the forums, I'm sure you would love the zed and the rear wheel drive aspect of it, having once owned an astra gsi this is by far a much better drivers car, (just be careful in the wet) You should be able to get 2 golf bags in the back and believe or not there is even a picture in the boot showing you how, I've never done it though As for MPG, I also use nothing but V power and normally run an average of 27 mpg doing a mix or motorway and town driving, it only ever drops as low as 18 or so when I really thrash the hell out of it which is rare, but as others say, this isn't a bluemotion and likes a good drink as for road tax, pre April 06 is about the £230 mark I think, post April 06 which I have cost me £405 last year which is a kick in the teeth As for servicing, depending on if you buy a car still in warranty or not but there are a lot of independents that offer services much cheap than the main stealers, all depends on where you live but a P3 service ( the big one ) can be around £250 - £300 mark, using the search button above will also give you loads of advise, there is so much here Good luck, get a Zed, you won't regret it (excuse the spelling, typing this on an iPhone and can't be bothered to change it)
  17. That bonnet wont fit over the 313 engine. Sorry buddy but will be a 276 or 300
  18. When out of gear I do get some noise from the gearbox and when serviced last by japex they stated that the bearing was noisy. I also every now and then struggle to get the car into 6th gear when at higher speeds, Motorway slip roads etc and it sounds like its crunching into pos which sounds terrible. Looking at taking it into Nissan in Watford in the next few days, its an 08 and still under warranty, anyone else had this issue?
  19. I also have a question if I may, Does the clicky rear axle affect later models, have a my08 313, no issues yet with it but thinking ahead just in case
  20. Its right behind the sunglasses holder on the roof
  21. I also have a 313 but get alot better mpg than that, I avg about 24-28 but when on the motorway In cruise control, 6th gear doing about 80-85 i normally avg 32-34 mpg, With a heavy right foot it tends to drop to about 14 mpg, but I only tend to do that on the twisties as it's so much fun, I also use shell ultimax, I think it does make a little difference
