If the reported flew out before the flights were cancelled from their respective country apparently it's not causing too much disruption to Iceland apart from the immediate area as the ash is all going up then heading across to europe Schools closing is a bit of a joke. I work in one and you can easily get supply teachers. It'll cost the schools a fair amount if they have a few teachers but if it's just 1 or 2 most schools now have a permanent cover teacher at the school as there's always one of the teachers off for some reason or other

Any further update coops?

Hi As title states can anyone recommend an MOT Station in Stoke/Crewe area? My mate has advised me trying a council run station as they are less likely to try and find something wrong as they don't do the repairs themselves Also, can anyone advise whether a Japspeed K1 system has any chance of failing an MOT due to noise? Cheers for any help

Will get some pics for you tomorrow The bluetooth unit for the pioneer will completely replace your standard bluetooth, so you'll need to cable in a Mic and the bluetooth module. It's not hard though and if ya need any help just ask

I noticed that too, must just be instinct of a racing driver to try and steer into the skid, wouldn't have made any difference though without wheels Interview with Buemi afterwards "I've never seen this before and if you look at the on board I keep the steering wheel in my hand but it didn't really help"

Yeah, have had a quick look around this morning between calls at work and it seems that Megs have brought out a Scratch X2 which is meant to be the next stage after Scratch X. If Scratch X doesn't shift the scratch they advise using the Scratch X2, but I'm thinking that might be ill-advised on the 350z So I can feel secure that Scratch X should be fine to use on the 350z, that's sommat at least. It's mainly for swirl's, I do have a couple of scratchs I'd like to get out, but I don't think anything other than a proper repair will get them sorted

Which part are you talking about? If it's the bluetooth then you need the part with code cd-btb200 which I found on ebay for around £100 (but I needed it same day so I brought it locally for a little over £120). If it's the iPod then it's just a lead which is about £20 - £30 (Part Number CD-IU200V) but the stereo does have a USB lead at the back which you can use a normal iPod lead with apparently but it might not give you all the same functionality so for the price I just decided to get the dedicated lead. I dunno how much you've found it for but I brought mine from RoadRadio (link to exact headunit)and it's currently listed at £428.92 without the Bluetooth and iPod lead As for the fascia I brought this one from Sextons but didn't find the fit great but this was more down to the stereo i think than the fascia etc. Anyway, ended up getting one from a local company who I am almost certain ordered the autoleads one and that seems to fit great. This one is also available at Sextons from what I can see here but can't be sure this is the same one that I got. Any other questions don't hesitate to ask, or if ya want pics of it etc

I was just wondering if this is safe to use on the Z? I've read loads of people saying the paint is too soft to use much stuff on it and wanted to check whether this would be ok to use on the Z and if so what sort of results I can expect? Brought it when I had a previous car but never got round to trying it so I am just wondering what it's like and whether it's too abrasive to use on the Z's soft paint finish?

I've recently had this and installed it myself. It's a great headunit. I have got the iPod cable and the Bluetooth module (worth noting you can't retain the factory bluetooth if you remove the bose) and it all seems to work great Any questions about the unit don't hesitate to ask

Anyone else going on the Sunday, I thought I might go along but can't make the Saturday so may go on the Sunday

Might have been me as I was coming back from the Wrexham / Chester meet but as I was following the sat nav no idea what roads I took, lol. Can't remember seeing another Zed tho (apart from the ones that were at the meet) Did ya get a wave back? If so it wouldn't have been me, lol

That's a shame Macca, hope ya get better soon

Nice to see the roof problems are sorted Mart, just in time for the nice weather we're having for a few days (allegedly) as well, and the meet today

Yeah

I have just recently installed the Pioneer AVH-P4200dvd and think it's amazing, prob a bit OTT for what you want. All I would say is, if you just want ipod might be worth going down the Alpine route as they were the first ones to do a proper iPod connection and as such might still have the best connections. I know they were the only manufacturer for a long time that did connections that could operate the iPod and at a fast speed too. Sommat like this possibly

Like people have said, about the only way to actually get the refund will be civil suit, as PayPal have every right to say, the money was sent as a gift and as such they cannot act on this. Whether or not this will bear any ground on the possibility of a refund or not I don't know. I know that people will often try to save a bit of cash in places, but sending the money as a gift will cut out one safety net that you have. I have done it so I can't say your doing the wrong thing etc. My advise however (and don't take this as gospel just considering circumstances on forums with for sale sections etc might be wise taking it into advisement) would be to only send the money as a gift if you are certain you can trust the person etc. Like Paul has said, the only person that will know whether the item was really sent is the seller. If he hasn't then he should just give the refund. If he has then he should still give the refund but he can try and get some of his money at least back from Royal Mail. If he lets it go to court all he's gonna do is end up paying legal fee's on top of the refund Keep us all updated with how you get on Craigus

Saw a Roadster in Clayton today about 3ish i think. Gave me a wave. Just wondered if it was someone from here?

This is 100% correct, end of the day, the seller can choose any way he chooses to get the part to you. He could even pay a mate to come and drop it off etc. But at the end of the day unless you receive your item then you want your refund. There is no chance he can say you should be chasing Royal Mail etc as the sender has to chase them, not the would-be receiver. Definately think twice before commenting on a public forum people. They can print off the comments (so even think about it when it's PM's) and these can be used as evidence. Also as a side note (not that anyone has) but be careful hinting at doing anything, either to the person or their property. Even if you don't intend on doing anything (which most people won't even when they say they will) because if sommat happens you'll be prime suspect EDIT: Also meant to say, a seller should always send it recorded at least anyway. Otherwise what's to stop the buyer (I know we should live in a world where people can trust each other but obviously we don't) saying they've never received it when they have (Just to clarify not saying that this is the case in this instance). If that did happen the seller would have no comeback because they can't prove it one way or the other

Cool! Sold it to him now

Welcome to the forum I have a 350z and use it as a daily driver to work and back, I travel approximately 10 - 15 miles each way and mine is made up of mostly 70mph roads. On average I tend to get about 24 mpg and that's not just with conservative driving. It won't be great (afterall think of the engine that's powering it) but considering the engine it's not too bad and on a run can get high twenties at least. I went on a job down south and got 28 mpg easily. A couple of piece's of advise, like other have said, don't rush into buying the first one you've seen, make sure it's the right one for you. Also if you find yourself with high running costs in the first few months don't despair, the fuel you'll be using will be high in the first few months for definate as you will be getting used to the smile on your face because of the engine power and exhaust sounds I have never driven a Civic Type R but my mate has one and loves my car, lol. One good thing with the Z over the Type R (imo) is that the Z will get a lot more respect and not just from young lads.

+1 Let's face it, anyone who is honestly gonna buy a car, if the person said to you about getting insurance and you weren't willing to spend the £10 on temp cover, surely your not interested anyway. Garages can cover your insurance, but if it's a private sale why should the seller be the one risking loosing out? Worth mentioning to prospective buyers to give their insurance companies a ring? Surely they'd be willing to give temp cover on sommat? Could also be worth asking prospective buyers to bring evidence they have a license? Afterall whether they are insured or not, if they don't have a license the insurance isn't worth the paper it's written on. Also it'll give you peace of mind of at least knowing where the person lives should anything happen

I'll agree with the above. Only people liable to look at it are ones who will try to knock your price down because of it (so be prepared for it) or ones who want to change the bonnet anyway. Best bet is probably to look around for one the same as yours and replace it, or the Smart repairs. Only other option really is to change for a Carbon bonnet, or possibly get a price for a vinyl wrap or sommat like that?

I know what you mean, people wouldn't buy without test driving, well most wouldn't. A mate of mine did once, but he learnt his lesson the hard way. Yes you can get temporary insurance to cover things like test drives etc. Whether you got them to sign a piece of paper or not, if they weren't gonna pay up, they wouldn't have to. Nothing signed gives legal implications unless signed with a witness able to legally witness contract signing etc (as far as I'm aware) I would be very careful about it. Most common thing seems to be a car park or something similar. Car park is ideal if there's no cars about as it's private land so the police wouldn't be able to do anything. But you need to trust them to not smash into anything like lamposts or curbs etc. Only other possibility I suppose would be to look into the price of getting insurance yourself for any driver on the car for a few weeks?

Ah yeah I see it now, ok then, will try to be there for around that time then

So what time are we meeting? And have I got the right place here. Where about's on this road is the pub?
