I have moved to France, and so now those on my 2009 roadsters are on the wrong sides, and it has failed the French MOT. Any ideas on sourcing or solutions please ?

Apparently the United States ones are not acceptable for right hand drive mainland European countries. Something about the indicator set up. A main dealer told me that they had done the reverse, fro expats returning home, but when the work was done the customer was given his or her headlights back.

How much might it cost to have the headlights on a February 2009 changed. Beam benders are not accepted by the French authorities. I have just been informed, by a main dealership, that each headlight alone costs £987, plus fitting. Many thanks.

Right, Abbey in Oxted it is then chaps. Many thanks !

Make that Westerham with an H !

Hi, many thanks, I am based in Westeham, about 5 minutes from Abbey Motors.

Despite telephoning several "main" Nissan dealers, I can't get a definitive price for my 350 GT Roadster, born on 13 February 2009, with 13,994 miles on the clock. I have had it since new, and it has been regularly serviced by Beadles. Any ideas my chums ? Many thanks.

Well, I put the setup disk from the Bose in the house in, and it came back to life, for how long, I don't know. I was well cheesed to know that the Bose isn't a Bose.

I have a February 2009 350Z GT Roadster, with the Bose system. On Friday the CD display started saying " Disk Check", and won't play any CD. The rest of the system, radio and cassette is fine, the sound is just as good also. I have tried putting various CDs from the house in, but the problem persists. Any ideas guys ? Is there a reset button perhaps ? I have a Bose system in the house also, which has a setup disk, but I am loathe to start messing around with that disk as it may not be compatible. Many thanks, John.

An even bigger sickener is that the KA gets free AA cover, sorry to rub it in mate.

How the hell did you manage that? You must be in your sixties with full NCB! Fifty, but I do have a full NCB.

I don't know about Direct Line, but I've just renewed my 2009 Roadster for £244.46 with AXA, the KA cost £130, with AA. £500 excess both.

That's very interesting and helpful. It started when the wet weather kicked off, in fact the roof seems to have absorbed some of the rain, it feels damp inside the roof. I presume it is covered by warranty - I have not misused the car, mileage now still only 3,947, in fact I am the only person to have been in it since I collected it, unless you count my briefcase. Thinking back it was never reluctant to close in the summer.

I bought this new vehicle in February. Now, the roof opening cycle gets about 14 seconds into the cycle, but the roof will not completely fold up, neither therefore will the metal back drop down. Also very slight water ingress at front/top of drivers window. Anyone had similar please ? What would the warranty position be. I bought it from Crystals in Boston.

I missed a bit from my last post. I had Sierra XR4x4 at one time, and there was a firm called, I think, Turbo Technics, in Aldershot and Northampton who could do this to the XR4X4, but I wondered if there was an equivalent firm for the 350Z.

On a different subject, I have finally '' run the car in'', now done about 2,500 miles. Does any one know how I can have its power increased please ? I know, in the old days, on the old '' Cossies '' that you could have them, what was called, '' chipping them up '', but they had Turbos that people put new chips in. Anyone know of how to increase the power, and where, and how much ? It is the 313 BHP engine, bought new in February this year. Nice motor in any event. Thank you.

Many thanks for that information, I am still new to this. It is one hell of a car, every time that I take it out I learn something.

One more also please, is it true that if you turn the ESP off, does this '' muller '' the Warranty ?

Getting this car was really good, apart from being approached by people, on a daily basis, and asking me what it is. I have a question, however. Is it possible to connect a thing like an I Pod, or an MP3 into the Bose system ? I haven't got either,yet, but any advice would be much welcome. Excellent car for the money, hardly run in yet.

You got off lightly, my Roadster has an 80 Litre tank.

Many thanks for your kind welcomes. My Roadster does not have the Blootooth facility. No problemo, it is still a smashing motor.

I am indeed.

I bought a brand new 350Z Roadster, with the GT pack in February. I am really pleased with it. A pleasant surprise was the Cassette player in the BOSE sound system;I was not looking forward to transferring my tapes to CD. One question I have concerns the Blootooth 'phone facility - what do I need to do ?
