  1. It wouldn't bother me. The oil has been changed very year. Coolant change whilst in the service guide generally doesn't get done by Nissan unless you ask. Brake fluid I have rarely ever seen changed on service history so it is good that it has been done at least once. Spark plugs are 50k rated so they will need doing soon. I would check the MOT history online for advisories to get a fuller idea of the car.
  2. Absolutely. It does amaze me when people get themselves in a kerfuffle wondering what other people might think. Buy the car "you" want. It's your life not theirs.
  3. I never knew that! Cheers

    Unfortunately you will never get a low to the ground sports car with shaped headlights to be anywhere near as good as a higher sitting car with headlights sitting at 90deg to the road. It's just not gonna happen with the angles involved. Funny enough, the Zed is has the best headlights of any car I've owned. I increased the throw of the headlamps yesterday evening and it has made a big improvement and doesn't appear to be dazzling anyone.
  5. Care to substantiate? What about the galvanic corrosion between the aluminium and steel shafts assuming the shaft and nut is steel. Not that I am an expert in such matters but I am sceptical of fitting parts that have not been design proven for daily driving.
  6. I wonder how these fare over time in terms of fatigue and corrosion?
  7. I can't say I would ever notice how ugly the rear is as normally you would only see the front in you mirror.
  8. It wouldn't use Bluetooth. Not enough range to reach the parked car. Most likely use a 3G signal or LTE; the encryption of which is yet to be cracked for real time uses.
  9. That's easy. He thinks he is funny but simply isn't. He behaves like a teenager when he is way past it. The program deserves better and right now they are letting the film crew down who create some superb footage. In fact I'd go so far to say that the set the bar that none are yet to reach.
  10. Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn... especially one with a screaming child that refuses to get strapped into a car seat.
  11. Except for the howlers behind May on the sofa.
  12. Glee? I may STEPS but even I wouldn't watch glee over Top Gear! Actually let me re phrase that. I'd never watch glee! You've not been properly introduced to sarcasm have you? To what? Sorry, my bad. I can never get sarcasm from reading. Only vocally. I did post it rather dead pan just for the reaction though

  14. Looks good. If you made a template you would cut down the marking out time dramatically. I have thought about making my own but I would prefer the LEDs to face forwards. These would appear to face sideways.
  15. Any changes to the wiring needed? Can the existing wiring handle nearly twice the current?
  16. That all depends on whether it is law or not. Not all of the highway code is law. Much of it is recommendations or guidelines. For example, I don't think that it is law that you must indicate. I'll go check... Parking on the pavement is indeed against the law except where signs permit it outside London: You MUST NOT park partially or wholly on the pavement in London, and should not do so elsewhere unless signs permit it. Parking on the pavement can obstruct and seriously inconvenience pedestrians, people in wheelchairs or with visual impairments and people with prams or pushchairs. Law GL(GP)A sect 15

    Any improvement? I'm probably going to raise my headlamp level this weekend as the through compared to my Jeep is stupidly short.
  19. Get yourself a shed for a few hundred quid. Drive it exclusively for one month. Then get back in the zed and think yourself lucky that you only spent a few hundred quid to resolve your conscience.
  20. Normally I wouldn't let anyone else clean my car but I'll let her use any crappy sponge she wants
  21. I'm not sure you're going to be let off as easy as you think!
