  1. Ended up getting the correct filter socket as suggested above :D worked a treat!!! anyone who reads this buy the cup wrench as suggested above. She's running even better from just a simple oil change :D. driveway got a bit covered though... I misjudged where my drip tray was for a moment. Next for the trans and diff fluid!!.

     

    Good work!

  2. You think PlusNet or Sky are any more secure? There's plenty of reasons to leave TalkTalk, but the current situation isn't one.

     

     

    Personally I stick with BT, as their cosy relationship with Openreach makes problem solving significantly quicker.

     

    Bollocks !!!!! :surrender:

     

    BT couldn't organise a **** up in a Brewery - their "cosy" relationship does NOT exist - I'm living proof of that

     

    bottom line is ................ they're all as bad as each other and you pays your money and takes your chance

     

    Fully agree there, I left bt a few months back to join sky for a faster rate at half the price that doesn't go down one a month. Complete shower that lot

  3. I have for sale my beloved zed. I have owned this car for 6 years now and it has been the best car i have owned, it has never broken down or placed a foot wrong. Im only selling as I'm in the process of buying my first property and its deeply regretted.

     

    Since i have owned the car i have serviced it myself every year on the dot regardless of the lack of miles covered. when it was my daily car i serviced it every 6000 miles since then its been more like 3500 in between changes. It has 4 new tyres with less than a thousand miles on them, and has only covered about 500 miles since the oil, coolant, brake fluid and diff oil were changed. and at most 5000 miles since a new rocker cover due to the notorious oil leak in the plug tube and plug change as well as cleaning out the plenum and throttle body.

     

    It has always been run on shell v power with receipts to prove it.

     

    I have added a few mods over the years, It has.

     

    20mm front spacers, 25mm Rear spacers.

    18" Rays alloys with Hankook V12 EVO tyres. (only just scrubbed in) front alloys could do with a refurb.

    Grooved brake discs with yellowstuff front pads and red stuff rears.

    Stainless braided brake lines. (brand new)

    KW V3 Coilovers i have them set quite stiff but still do not make the ride crashey.

    Full GT Spec underbody brace set, Front, Mid brace and two rears.

    Z speed aluminium under tray.

    Mishimoto silicone hoses (months old)

    Mishimoto oil cooler with a thermostatic sandwich plate which is vital for an oil cooler.

    Defi oil temp gauge which i have mounted in the door vent

    Re-trimmed steering wheel in black alcantara with orange stitching.

    Japspeed K2 stainless exhaust.

    Nismo style body kit. front bumper could do with a respray and to repair the cracks from speedhumps etc

    K&N Typhoon induction kit.

     

     

    I only have 1 key but 3 dongles for the immobiliser.

     

    It has covered 74712 miles.

    Mot until September 2016

  4. I think. resuming you don't have a grub screw in your sandwich plate. (dont hold me to this) you can wind out the sensor for the oil pressure and fit a tee in the socket then on one side refit the oil pressure sensor, the other you can fit your oil temp probe.

     

    I personally have the defi gauge and i think its fantastic, I fitted mine into my mishimoto thermostatic sandwich plate.

  5. It wasn't too bad getting under, took a bit longer than expected though as some screws were rusted on the belly pan. (so will have to replace these). I had a bit of a semi panic moment as so much driving to do in the next couple of weeks, family commitments etc so no time. So went to Halfrauds and picked up esp formula 5w30, filter and washer from Nissan, must admit Opie prices are a lot better, cost a bit more but cold weather and that you know peace of mind, luckily have a couple of hours in the day on Friday so will get it done hopefully :D.

     

    Really appreciate the advice. :D just noticed click and collect at Argos ++ looks a steal at £20 for the filter adapters. The screwdriver method .. I was thinking about it then my superstitious mind kicked in and decided against as being Sunday afternoon.

     

    I'm ordering up some tranny + Diff fluid from a place called Horsham Developments in the next few days hopefully. I hear they are supposed to be pretty good. I believe the Trans + diff fluid were done a couple of years ago since looking at the service record..

     

    Is that quite a common thing for the transmission nuts to be tight on the 350?

     

    Horsham are traders on here and seem to have a decent rep. In regards to the nuts mine were b*****d tight. I got my fill plug out but my drain plug was nearly to the point where i thought my allen socket would snap.

     

    Its regarded aswell that the 350 likes a dose of molyslip in with fresh gearbox oil to help smooth things up in there :thumbs:

  6. Momo gear knob a couple of years old, has a couple of marks from previous owner wearing a ring, (what it looks like anyway) only very small. Has the three grub screws but no rubber collar. i just wrapped the gear lever in electrical tape so it was a tight fit then tightened up the screws.

    this is the other knob. Only been on my car for a month which is about 300 miles. Just a bit small for my liking. Its a proper screw on to the existing threads jobbie so no grub screws.

  7. So how did everyone else meet their current partners then?

     

    I met mine when I was in a band, and she was the guitarist's younger cousin. She was 15, I was 24 and engaged at the time so nothing happened, but we really hit it off. A few months later and I was single, the guitarist organised a Halloween party and we both had an invite, haven't looked back since. :)

     

    See, being in a band DOES get you chicks! :lol:

     

    I bet her dad loved you!!
