Thanks for the reply I'm based in the South West, but I don't know if there are any Zed specialists near me. Luckily Alex was on the case and has responded to my post as well. I'm going to see how it goes over the next few days I think. I don't mind spending money to make sure she is looked after but I certainly don't want to pay over the odds. She seems to be running fine though, no nasty sounds, engine appears nice and smooth, no other issues of any kind. Guess I just need to see how things go over the coming week. Might try the old DIY ECU reset process if the warning light appears again and stays on.

Hi Alex, many thanks for your response. I was surprised that all of them could have failed at the same time, so I think it probably is a little gremlin of some kind. I think I'll monitor the situation for a few days and see what happens. My main concern is driving her about when perhaps I may be doing her some harm or just making a problem (which I should probably get sorted) much worse. Thanks also for the nod on the price of the replacement sensors. If I end up needing them I'll pick your brains again if that's ok?

Hi Guys, I picked up my Zed this Friday just gone and to say I am extremely happy with her is an understatement. However; I did get an engine check light appear on Saturday morning so I whipped her in to a local Nissan dealer so they could take a look. They very kindly ran a check on her and this is what the report came back with: DTC RESULTS.............................TIME HO2S1 HTR (B1)............................0 (P0031) HO2S1 HTR (B2)............................0 (P0051) HO2S2 HTR (B1)............................0 (P0037) HO2S2 HTR (B2)............................0 (P0057) Now this is clearly some kind of issue related to the o2 sensors, which is ok, because at least I know what it is. The chap in the garage said that the car seemed to be running fine without any other errors. He also indicated that if the car had been parked with its tail against a wall or bush, or even close to another parked car this could sometimes trigger the warning light to appear as the flow of Oxygen around the exhaust wouldn't be as free. He also said that the really wet heavy weather we had been experiencing could also have been a contributory factor He indicated that if the problem persisted it would be worth getting it fully checked out and that a replacement o2 sensor would be about £190 each if required So that all sounds ok and I am going to monitor things to see if the light re-appears. However; what I'm most concerned about it what kind of issue I could encounter if I run the car with this kind of problem, other than crappy fuel economy, prior to taking the car in to get the o2 sensors checked or replaced? Does anyone have any advice or suggestions about the best way to handle this issue? Thanks

Got home in one piece although I have to admit it wasn't the most relaxing drive back. Wind, rain, bits of tree all over the place, certainly kept it interesting. Anyway, she's parked up safe and sound and I'm just enjoying a beer. I'm positive I've made the right choice buying her, despite the less than ideal driving conditions on the way home, I do have a bloomin great big smile on me face. Many thanks for all the welcomes guys

Thanks, I am going to take it nice and easy. I'll have to get me a Stubby, its on the list along with Poor Boys or Gliptones Leather treatment and probably a whole host of other stuff I am going to find ways of spending me pennies on!

Thanks, think I'll be doing a bit of a "Driving Miss Daisy" approach today

Thanks for the welcome everyone Home for me is Bath, city of Georgian splendour, high culture, residents parking permits, limited spaces and extremely keen traffic wardens I think I'll be taking it nice and easy out there today, just going to pootle around a bit until I get confident with how she handles. Cribbs Causeway is really easy to get to from here so that could be do-able. Don't know about you folks but work have got me with my nose right against the grindstone at the mo. If work and other commitments allow I'll certainly get there.

Morning all, Been browsing the forum for a while, picking up hints and tips all over the site, and finally taken the plunge to buy my first 350Z. Better say a thank you to all the members who's posts I've been reading, which have proved to be really helpful She's a 2003 import that I'm due to pick up this afternoon. Think I'll be taking it steady on the way home though as it's chucking it down here in the south west! Anyway, hoping to be able to pick everyone's brains and learn how to really take care of her. Cheers
