  1. I think the programme has lost it's track they don't test cars any more just sort of make jokes at each other which is all written for them, anyway have any of them come from any type of racing pedigree to judge the cars performance? unlike those on 5th gear.

    Birthday Present

    Just used my new Snow Foam lance on my van then my zed I've been out there all day today cleaning things then the wife pulled up from shopping by the time she got up the drive and stopped I had snowed her in while she was still in it She reckons I'm a big kid
  3. flag down a 4x4 owner I'm sure he will pull you out onto a good bit of road
  4. ho,ho Robin I have 8 air bags in my BMW what's that lot worth
  5. I will be booking a course with these http://www.carlimits.com/ in the summer with my bruv he owns an 08 Audi TT 3.2 Quattro I have yet to drive my car in ernest!
  6. I have never ever been on the website but with my two teenage daughters still at school is a different thing! I have had nothing but greif with them using that poxy website. I cannot say how much I loath these sites like MSN, Facebook and Twitter and in my opinion and probably thousands of other parents wish they were shut down. Did you know that every single word written on Facebook which is in the billoins is stored in archive for some reason it has totally no privacy at all.
  7. There's no point changing the oil if you don't change the filter so do both, the dealer will charge you more than your garage so just for an oil change I would use the garage and give him your own oil that you want in it. As for oils I would use a fully synthetic oil I'm sure someone on here will recommend a brand.
  8. what are the red led interor lights all about?
  9. It was my Birthday yesterday (23rd) and I got a big box from the wife and kids I could not believe it I got a Snow Foam lance and 5 Litres of Snow Foam Fluid for my K'archer I cannot wait to wash the car seems like one of my girls has noticed me keep reading the detailing threads

    Heated seats

    It has a built in thermostat so it will get to what ever setting you have and keep it at the temperature, it tells you in your manuel MERRY CHRISTMAS
  11. what's the top picture showing the 'Z' carbon thingy's?
  12. Hi Mate, See you pulling out the garage tonight did they manage to put all the kit on?
  13. I went to my local Nissan dealer Gylnn Hopkins (Woodford) who quoted me for a P3 £420 plus £81 if plugs needed I was advised on here to try Abbey and gave them a call last week and spoke with Scott, he quoted me £319 and that's to change all fluids he told me the plugs do not need replacing until 60,000 miles or 5 years which mine is not near. I will be having the service done in the new year weather permitting.
  14. that looks as good as the rear light one and a lot cheaper thanks for heads up!
  15. remember if going thru tunnels to switch headlights on to low beam it's the law in most of Europe the french police know we don't in the UK and pick us out. (on the spot fine)
  16. not sure what spec yours is for £20 but this unit is built into the number plate light not drilled into the bumper also a quote from the blurb ' This camera provides a wide angle (170°) image with automatic colour and brightness adjustment as well as a night vision mode. The image is displayed mirrored to match what you would normally see in your rear view mirror. The camera connects to the reversing light to activate it when reverse is selected, and there is a cable to connect to the 'monitor' or activation input on the screen (as well as the video cable) which activates the monitor at the same time, if your vehicle supports this. Is this similar to yours?
  17. Just found this and wondered will it fit our zed's I am considering parking sensors for my car but I could link this unit up to one of Nurrish's sat nav units (I think) They also do some LED driving lights that may be able to be adapted to fit our front reflectors as well. http://www.hids4u.co.uk/integrated-rear ... issan.html
  18. First time I have ever bought a convertable and was not sure I was doing the right thing but boy am I glad I did, I cannot recommend the roadster enough you have the best of both worlds owning a Zed with the coupe performance and features plus the added bonus of the roof down when it gets warmer and driving in the summer months at night is fantastic Although it's a ragtop you would not know, it's still sound proof with the roof on and warms up inside in the winter like any other car. If the car is a good price go for it I would love the later 07 model.
  19. The AA, RAC and Green Flag all use jump packs like Halfords if you need one buy one, also just because it's a Zed why does it use batterys? The battery is the same for all cars, if you have a slightly suspect battery in this weather it will die I think your best best is get a new Branded battery like a VARTA you won't go wrong with them.
  20. Mmmm! nice feature not sure if the car would be insured with no steering lock in fact not sure I would like to have the car left with no steering lock on.
  21. I know you say your car has just passed it's MOT but that doesn't mean there's plenty of tread in them I have just last week fited a 4 new tyres to my wifes BMW 325 Auto and the cars been fine in this snow and ice although rear wheel drive cars are never going to be as good as front wheel drive. I have used my Vivaro van every day in country lanes where cars have been stuck at the bottom of hills I have just gone past them it's down to front wheel drive and the weight of the engine over the wheels and being sensable with the throttle. Just to add my brother the other night lost the back end of his Audi TT 3.2 Quattro in this snow and done a rim so nothing is perfect unless you want a landrover
  22. I'm also a biker I ride an R6 but only in the summer months.
  23. I was driving around the M25 the other month when I got behind a car towing a trailer with a VW Camper that was totally rusty with holes all over it and I said to my mate 'Jesus he's got some project on there' then within minutes of passing it I aproached a car transporter with 10 Brand new VW Campers exactly the same as the one had just passed I could not believe it. We both just laughed my mate said 'I think I would rather be driving new than spending thousands on a rusty hulk' I tend to agree.
  24. No I don't drive the Sunset Orange parked in the Broadway just wondered if you knew the car I drive a roadster but at the moment tucked under a cover till the better weather. As for the garage I have seen his work and it's extremely good maybe that's why at the moment he's working on an Aston, Range Rover and porsche I have a small scratch on my nearside rear wing that's too deep to buff out so I'm going to get him to do the work on it. I would like to see your car when you get it back as it's the same colour as mine.
