Good effort John - but you forgot to include the 2009 Hoon spam pics and your first attempt at servicing http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=26349

You did not authorise this work. You only authorised the warranty work. Go in and see the service manager and ask them who gave the go ahead for the technicians to do anything other than the warranty work!

Admit it Graham - he didn't need to ask did he?

Craig or Jay?

Awh check out the bro-mances, they're all over the shop today!

Welcome to the forum Marcus

Saying recon engines are not worth it because the BBC says all breakers are rip-off artists is a bit of a sweeping statement. There are plenty of honest breakers who'll sell the original engine as it came out of the car, and many specialists (some of them on here) who'll do reconditioned parts for pretty reasonable prices. +1 - what hassle and aggro - if there's a warranty? Also its not just cost of parts but also the time taken to source and fit said parts - that reflects £2k worth quite easily IMO

You're not a proper zed-head until you've done some quality stalking

Welcome to the forum Looks an interesting project

Zug is just giving as he says a 'belt and braces' approach answer to the OP Each to their own - some people, even the experts struggle to identify which bearing is on its way out - you can do road tests and impose load on each side and still not get where the noise is coming from. If you can clearly identify which one it is - most folks would just do the one

Are you sure he just didn't realise that the dipstick is meant to be twisted if you do need a new engine

Are you having a 'special' day again today Chris? I think that sickness bug has left you dehydrated and yer brain has shriveled

well done Jim

Glad to see neither of you were involved what on earth were you doing at a TF anyway?!

Nice bit of kit there - looks bet it sounds

Oh FFS

God do we have to listen to yer whinging on here as well as FB? Honestly men - you're such a bunch of wusses Glad you're feeling better

About 11am this morning on the High St

Saw the ad for this today...tempted to buy a new console...suppose about time really considering the last one I bought (and still have) was an N64 when I was at Uni

Have a fantastic day!!

Welcome to the forum If you're going to tackle those swirls yourself just be aware that the paint can be very thin so unless you're confident with the polisher best get a detailer to have a look or take some paint depth readings first

Too cheap walk away otherwise go through the service history with a fine tooth comb - it could be they just want it shifted before the winter

It does serve as a good icebreaker with particularly 'hard-to-reach' young people
