First off, Welcome to the forum
Yeah, that was me, didn't really catch your plate though, daydreaming as usual, eyes are rubbish, etc. Didn't know there was another Zed in the Buckley area, car looks very nice .

Yeah, Each main refinery supplies raw petroleum to a specific area. Around here, Shell Stanlow is the supplier, Fawley supplies the South etc. Additives specific to a manufacturer will be added at smaller terminals if needed. The only exceptions would be Supermarkets who are supplied from The Netherlands via a terminal in the south.

Yeah, the gearbox takes a bit of getting used to. From my experience and from what I've read here, first to second is very notchy and clunky, especially from cold. The rest I find O.K, but not great. As far as the burning oil goes, what sort of smell was it? Gear oil has a completely different smell to engine oil when it burns.
Welcome BTW .

Not often that you see one off the main roads around here but I spotted a clean Black 350Z by Ewloe School earlier today, got a wave too . 54 or 56 plate (blinded a bit by the sun).
Pete
Not what they told us last night . How did they contact you? Just checked my E-Mail and there's nothing there from Heaves, I'm pretty certain its booked in my name.
Pete
Yeah, Caroline was getting a bit concerned as they hadn't contacted us, which originally they promised to do. Anyway, she gave them a quick buzz and both confirmed our booking and that they wouldn't be contacting us again, so presumably they won't be needing a deposit . Good news is that I've convinced Caroline to drive her roadster up there, so that's one extra Zed
Pete
Just an excuse to hike the price of an MOT. Most of those new regulations are completely unworkable, the only one Zed owners should be concerned about is 4.1.6 for those with after market front bumpers. I will contact my mate who has 30 years as an MOT tester and garage owner to see what he knows.
