I actually rang Nissan a few weeks back and was quoted .... wait for it ..... £230 + VAT !!!

Well just thought I'd give you guys am update on the whole situation ... I had the accident back in April and now 3 months later the guy is still not willing to pay the £480 that the dealer quoted ... so I've had to go through insurance ... I've only just dropped my Zed off to the Insurance approved repairs .. for which they say the paitnwork is guaranteed for life ... seems ok to me ... They've given me a X-Type Jaguar in the mean time and after about 10 mins of driving it ... I'M BORED! I really hope they speed up the repair job so that I can enjoy driving again ....

Hey all, Just thought I'd post a link to my OEM Gear knob that I've just listed on eBay ... If you have any questions then please PM me or Ask a Question through eBay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=160351709426 Regards

I have exactly the same problem with the missing top 2 brackets ... Originally I was only missing one so gave the other to a friend so he could make me a matching one ...but he's only gone and lost that one too! If you have any luck in making the top brackets can you let me know ... I would be interested in how you did it .. Thanks!

I have the same problem only that one of the upper mounts was missing when i purchased the vehicle ... Nissan won't do the mounts separately ... and suggested that I goto B&Q and try and make one out of a random metal bracket ... I've since taken the mount I did have to a metal worker I know and he says it's a 5 minute job to make one ... 3 weeks on I'm still waiting ... LoL

WOW! I've been watching your eBay auction as my gear knob has some signs of wear on it ... Just had a look today and couldn't believe how much it actually sold for ... I'm tempted to sell my gear knob from my car now too .. LoL Was that a legitimate bid or some idiot just messing around?

My handbrake is pretty weak too ... If I don't pull it up as far as possible then the car will start rolling ... Can this be adjusted? It's really started to annoy me recently to the point where I've even dreamt about it ... In the dream I park the car up and use the handbrake thinking it's all ok ... then when i get out and start walking off ... the car starts to roll back and scrapes a wall along one side ... LoL You can imagine my relief when I woke up!

I've got a Bluetooth adapter for sale. It's fully working and comes with instruction manuals. £65 including recorded delivery. PM please if you are interested. Thanks

Though I'd give you guys an update ... I used the Kleen Air can placing by it in the passenger footwell with the seat all the way back ... It's doesn't half make a mess of your dash and windscreen with all the liquid residue ... but it does wipe straight off once complete with out leaving any marks ... I think overall it was worth it ... the smell of the spray has not worn off which is a good thing as it was a bit too citrusy for my liking ...

Thanks alot for your suggestions guys ... I don't like the idea of the Kleen Air product leaving a mess on my dash and windscreen ... I might just cover the surrounding area with some cloth to minimise the cleaning effort afterwards ... I've decided I'll give the Kleen Air thing a go and if all else fails I'm gonna try washing more often ... but that's only as a last resort LoL ...

Hey all, Has anyone had any experience with this type of product before: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=400049109281 My AC has a slight smell to it and I was advised that it was probably due to bacteria in the AC air filters ... I thought it was worth a try for £7 delivered anyway so will keep you posted with the results..

Just thought I'd mention that yesterday I tried to re-program my spare key fob and had a few problems. I followed the process diagram from the guides section but still somehow managed to wipe my existing fob and immobilise my car! Luckily I was parked outside my house ... Anyway after about an hour of messing around I managed to get back to where I started. It turns out the spare key fob was faulty and was not able to register with the car. I think I'm gonna leave it for a bit now before I try again ... LoL

PM Sent ... Let me know. Thanks

Hey guys, I had the Tonneau Cover fitted on the car when I purchased it but have only just noticed that one of the top brackets is missing completely. I went down to my local Nissan dealer and they said that the cover comes as a kit and they wouldn't be able to get me the part separately ... and I don't wanna pay for the whole lot when I only need one piece ... Does anyone have one of these lying around or know somewhere where I can source one of these from? Any help is much appreciated ...

I'm glad it all worked out well for you ...

LoL ... what colour is your Zed? I'll keep an eye out for it around Leicester ... I saw 2 black Zeds parked up off Welford road over the weekend and an Orange one near St Margaret's Bus Station ... Also noticed that UV have one in their carpark being worked on ....

Woo Hoo! That'll be mine then ... the coach lines are a dead give away ...

Thanks for the advice ... I might just ask about it when my car goes in for some bodywork next week ... I know it's a bit cheeky but has anyone tried to copy the map DVD?

Yeah I'm feeling pretty happy about the whole thing now ... I've been pretty stressed out with it since the day it happened ... I'll be sure to post some pre and post repair pictures once the work is done ... But it just goes to show that sometimes the dealer can actually be your best bet!

Hey guys, I've got the Xanavi Sat Nav unit installed in my '04 Zed and so am still using the 2004 Software and Maps ... I was wondering if anyone knew what the most current version Software and Map Discs were ... and also where I could get my hands on them ... CHEAP! Any help much appreciated .. Thanks

Woo Hoo ... Didn't realise that it was going to work in this way until now but my '04 Plate should be about the same as my '98 FTO ... No logic in this whatsoever but I'm not complaining ...

Hey guys ... Just thought I'd fill you in on recent events with the car situation ... I've been getting a quote everyday this week from insurance approved bodyshops around my area ... and they've been comming in at around £800 - £1000 ... Every bodyshop has been telling me that I'm going to need the the most part of that side painted ... which is fair enough; if it's gonna look as good as new ... So today I thought I'd try my local Nissan Main Stealer ... just for a laugh really ... and they gave me a quote of £488 including VAT .... how good is that? and they are even gonna give me a courtesy car while the work is being carried out! And to think I wasn't even going to try there because I assumed it'd be Alot more then everywhere else ...

Hi, Thanks for the info above I'm sure it'll be very useful to me ... Although I do have a few questions ... Does the key that's in the ignition have to be the one which you are re-programming? My situation is that I have just purchased a second keyfob from eBay which will need cutting ... but in the mean time can I use my exisiting key to do the "ON - LOCK" procedure and then press the buttons on my new keyfob? I will be getting the new keycut at somepoint but would like to know that I have the programming part of it done before ... just being impatient LoL

Hi, Sorry if this is a dumb question but how can I find CS on the forum?
