yeah... Volvo ... but ALSO the "Focus" owners group... FAIL!

+1

I couldn't believe the premium I got from Admiral... I was paying £550 a year for a shitty beaten up SEAT Leon Diesel..... Tam was paying £100 less for her A3 diesel. So I was a little worried about quotes for the Zed (obviously looked before I bought) We NOW pay £700 a year for the Zed AND the A3! MUCHO recommend Admiral multicar!

What you have to do is think ... "Where SHOULD it be?" Rather than... "Where the hell would STOOOOPID windows hide it?" If in doubt click on the magnifying glass in the top right hand corner and type in iphoto. It will show up, you can either just click on it, or click "show all", then drag the icon into your dock... Problem people have is that windows does everything so complex and unorganised, when you get a Mac, you think it is going to be more complex. Where as it is always actually VERY VERY intuitive ... LOVE THE MAC!!!! I love all mine!

I have NO idea about this leccy stuff.... But wouldn't some kind of capacitor or something emulate the fade feature? Suppose it wouldn't be in sync with the other lights then If there is an issue with the dome light not being fused... cant you just stick a fuse in it? THEN splice off it? (And the answer is ... No, I DON'T know what I am talking about!)

Can you define... "European Christmas Market".... Kinda like the one in Brum?

BLOODY USELESS!!!! I managed to get the Engine light to flash... but DIDN'T read the extra "Hold Gas for 10 to reset" line... Light reset... all looking good!

Love my iPad... Used it for looking at the service manuals all day yesterday when I was doing my fluid changes... But, as Sparky says... where would it fit in the car? custom made housing unit in place of the headunit and cubby hole ? not seen one in the flesh so not sure on the exact size I would say they are too big to be honest. Plus the screen is SO shiny... If it caught the sun and got you in your eyes, you would be screwed

Love my iPad... Used it for looking at the service manuals all day yesterday when I was doing my fluid changes... But, as Sparky says... where would it fit in the car?

Nope... car wasn't started without the MAF connected. But it WAS started (a few times) only firing on 4 cylinders. When we put the coils back onto the sparks, two of them were not sitting right... so it mis-fired. We whipped the coils off again, re-seated them, and she now runs fine. Taken her out and she actually feels like she pulls BETTER now. Presume that is down to the new sparkies Alex sorted for me.... So how do I reset the error codes? Shouldn't the "dance" do that? (Lesson one, never put EVERYTHING back on... cover, strut brace etc BEFORE checking it fires up fine!)

I THINK that works out too.... P0102 MAF Sensor P0300 Random Misfire Does that look right peeps?

Guess you have to whip out the battery to get to it then? Was going to do some compression testing yesterday, but ran out of time anyway..... Got all the other fluids changed though... (Thanks to Alex sorting them for me!)

OK so... I get 10 slow, 1 Fast, 10 Fast, 2 Fast, 10 slow, 3 Fast, 10 fast, 10 fast.... Have I read it wrong? Or does it look right.. And how do I work out the code?

Cheers Alex.... I heard there was an extra fuse box behind the battery, but I couldn't/wouldn't beleive it! the most ridiculous placement of a serviceable item in human history How insane is that!

Yeah, I forgot how much it rains in tunnels....

I presumed Nissan would r4p3 me for just looking at the car. Probably charge me an hours labor just to give me the code. I found out about the "dance" yesterday. But I didn't know the flashing give you the code! I will do it again this morning and work out what the code is. How do I work out from that what the error code is?

I managed the pedal dace... worked... but the light came back on again

After servicing my car to day, the damn Engine light has come on... Anyone bought a "Consult" setup? Seen some on eBay for like 40 quid, thought they might be worth a punt. Rather than paying Nissan a load of cash. Anyone?

Even if it is only 5 out on the viscosity... and it will be like 0.3L? cheers Husky.. I have hands to help me today, will be tricky later on in the week on my own

I have filled my Gear box up with oil supplied to me... but it turns out that I don't have enough Yes, I know, I should have checked. I have put about 2.6L of 75w-85 APL4+ in.... But I need to top it up to overflowing (about 0.3L) and all I can get hold of is 75w-90 API GL4/GL5 Am I OK to top up this 0.3L with the lower grade stuff? Or should I leave it as is and order some of the same stuff to top it up (Don't really need to drive her for a few days)... Suggestions please people.....?

PROPER newbie question... what is the rad on the passenger side at the front for?

Fraid not... I saw that but couldnt work out where the hell it was

Looked in all the manuals... and I must be going blind. Can anyone tell me where it is? And which box it's in ... and WHERE the box is?

Sweeeet! Cheers Ian!

Actually (Apart from say carparks) why does anyone wind the window down on the Zed anyway? so people can hear your toons! mmmmm nice!
