  1. Anyone tried this website? They quoted £330 for full service, aircon recharge and MOT, including pickup and delivery. This is about what my local garage charged for just a service, so the price is good, but I have some concerns. No idea what garage they will be using, and I think my car is due a P2 service. I assume full service means P3. Anyone with experience with this website? Cheers

    Thinking of getting some bling for my std 350z. Complete newb, at the moment im thinking of getting some nismo parts from here http://z-store.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseacti ... ory_ID=211 and getting them fitted by these guys http://www.sprintautos.co.uk/index.html Good plan? Bad plan? anyone had good experiences with anyone around Birmingham for this sort of work? Cheers
  4. Guy who did my tyres must have buggered off with my locking wheel bolt. Its the standard one for rays..Wheres the best place to get a replacement? Cheers
  5. I have topped up the car and it sounds like its running sweet. Used almost a whole thing of oil tho! Going in for a full service/MOT next week...will this reveal any possible damage caused by low oil? Will check oil regularly from now on. Thanks for the help guys.
  6. The light didnt come on. Its a VU04.
  7. Car had a service when I bought it 8000 miles ago. It was low on oil today (not as low as my original reading, but way below the hash markings on the dipstick). Is using this amount of oil over 8000 miles normal?
  8. I have never checked or replaced the oil. I bought the car with 7.5k on it now it has 15.5k. Does it need doing more than this?
  9. Ahh the drive is sloped...Gonna park it on road and recheck.
  10. Ok I know very little about cars and arbitarily decided to check my oil...The car has been on my drive all night. I took the stick out, wiped it, put it back in, and examined. It came back basically clean. Am I correct in assuming this means haenus problems? Took it out then wiped it off... Put it back... Pulled it out again.
  11. Stange noise has started happening. Sounds somwhere between a "whoosh" and a rapid click. Happens usually whenever im going fairly slowly (20-40 mph) if I accelerate then take my foot off accelerator. Anyone experienced this? I'm in Birmingham and niether Colliers Nissan nor West Way Nissan are able to look at it until next week. Cheers
  12. Upgrade to what? Any suggestions? Will I still be able to use the steering wheel controls?
  13. Where did you get this done please?
  14. Considering getting a full respray done. Want to get a really top notch job...Anyone got any idea of cost and could recommend a good bodyshop? (Birmingham area preferable).
  15. Seems to be worse when im using the car a lot, which pretty much goes dead against the condensation theory. Gonna try get hold of a cleaning disk tomorrow. If that fails looks like its gonna be £300 swapsie with clarion. Doesnt seem too bad considering my window motor fix ran to over £500.
  16. It is Bose. When its working its fine with either copied CDs or originals. When its not working niether work. Thanks for info, checking out clarion now.
  17. An intermittent fault has started happening with the 6CD changer on my car. It just cycles through all the CDs and doesnt play any of them, then says "check disk". Seems to be getting more frequent. Anyone experienced this?
  18. Got back to the car park and someone had kindly left this on my rear wheel arch... Also there are a couple of other annoying marks like these on the paintwork: Would like to get it all sorted out. Can anyone reccomend a good body shop in the Birmingham area? Also, just had a new driver side window motor fitted. If anyone wants the old one with intermitent fault its free if you pick it up or send me £5 for the postage. I read somwhere they can be refurbished. Cheers, Chris

    Boot struts

    Anyone know another source for these as Adam at z1auto is out of stock?
  20. Can anyone recommend somewhere in the Birmingham area to replace my drivers window motor? It works on and off at the moment but seems to be working less frequently then it did a month ago. Nissan dealer wanted over £500. I have found the parts for sale for around £100 but I am not confident in fitting it myself. The procedure looks tricky. Cheers

    Thanks. Do you have a contact for him? Also I think I posed this in the wrong forum...any chance an admin could move it to general? Cheers.

    Boot struts

    Having problems with weak boot struts. Nissan dealer quoted £500 to replace the pair So I bought new struts from ebay for $130 and took them to a local garage for fitting. They made a cowboy job of fitting them (had problems getting the old struts off) so they look a bit of a mess and arent that much stronger than the ones I replaced. What I would like is a straight bolt on kit with decent struts. Anyone have any ideas? Im pretty close to just taking it to the nissan garage and having them sort the problem out. Cheers.
  23. Thanks for the replies. Im gonna get the Falken FK452 all round. This comes in at £486 fitted on blackcircles.com. Is this a resonable price? How much would a pair of dunlop sp sport maxx with about 300 miles on them be worth doya recon? Thanks.
  24. Got a rear tyre puncture so i replaced both the rear tyres. Was in quite a hurry so around 5 minutes searching online i thought dunlop sp sport maxx looked like a good buy, 245/45/18 were a little under £400 for the pair fitted so i took it. Now i have 2 problems: 1)The front tyres need replacing and dunlop sp sport maxx 225/45/18 do not exist (I would like a matching set, didnt think of this when ordering rears) 2) The car handles great when im completely thraping it, but the ESP light seems to come on when im going round long, steep corners, even if i am not going too fast. Whats my best plan here? I could afford new tyres all round (reccomendations appreciated) If you guys think its worth it. Failing that, what would be the best tyres to fit on the front? Do you think the ESP issue is a tyre issue? Thanks, Chris
