  1. Hope it goes well for you. I was ok in the end and the majority of people are, I'm just saying take care its not always as straight cut as its made out to be. My car was parked at the time and there were witnesses including myself but the TP still denied reversing into my drivers door and his insurance company refused to pay out.
  2. Interesting. My agreement paperwork is very clear about who is liable for the charges and it ain't me! They pursue the TP for the charges, and in the event they don't pay then there is a policy in place to protect me from any liability, actually this cost is also covered by the TP so no charge for that to me. I also also spoke with them on the phone yesterday and verified again that there's no comeback to me on the charges. Which is all good, because with £15k to spare I'd buy another 'Z and make it into a superlight project car! Yes that's what I said, The TP is liable unless they dont pay then you are but you have been sold (which is claimed off the TP) an insurance policy to cover the fact you are liable. It took me 3 years of letters answered again and again and a court appearance as a witness before the hire liability insurance policy paid out to cover the refusal of the TP insurance to pay out, It is possible (However unlikely) that the hire liability insurance will not pay out and then you are liable. ( Read again what you have signed ) Some people will not be able to cope with the 3 years of uncertainty of who will have to pay the hire charge, despite there being an insurance policy in place to cover your liability. At the end of the day Its still your liability (although insured), and if it all goes tits up they will claim off you. Were you advised to take legal advice before signing? as the fact that I wasn't was a factor in the judgement in my case.
  3. Take care with Accedent Exchange. You had to sign when you took the car to agree to underwright the hire cost yourself if they do not manage to get the hire cost claimed. Hopefully they then "sold" you an insurance policy to be claimed back also to pay for the hire cost if they claim it off you. I had the same, a like for like car at an inflated cost, and the other insurance company ( Swift Cover) contested the cost when the bill went in. It took 3 years to sort out before I walked paying nothing.
  4. You could try Keswick just a few miles north but not on Windermere. Castlerigg Hall campsite has views from the hillside over Derwent Water and Cats Bells. Best campsite view in the lakes. Very good facilities campers kitchen, laundry etc, a pub Nextdoor and a Bar onsite. The nightlife and resteraunts in Keswick a walk down the hill through the woods, are far better than Windermere or Bowness. I stay there a few times a year, and highly recomend it. PM me if you want more details of alternatives.
  5. Picked up a chip on Wednesday morning 3 miles later it was a 12" crack behind the mirror. Had it done yesterday by National Windscreens, 2 days from the initial call as I wouldn't wait 7 days for Auto Windscreens. Did a great job. 2 fitters who took pride in their work. Nice clean install, even took care with my auto-dim mirror as its hard wired and not on a plug. Cleanest my screen has been for a year. £75 to get it clean tho
  6. Hi Mate, only just seen this. Glad your sorted anyway. Looks different to the earlier cars, perhaps you can update the how to if you get a minute. Thanks Martin
  7. The key blade is inside to be used in an emergency when the car battery is flat and the central locking wont work. It is not used to start the car as it has a start button.
  8. That would be me then... http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/91728-boot-too-small-so-stripped-out-re-trimmed-now-huge/

    MOT Issue

    Mine passed with cheap ebay HFC and an invidia gemini --- once a tiny exhaust leak had been fixed from the mid flange. Check for even the smallest leak as this threw the Lambda and HC way out on mine.
  10. Never got round to using mine before I sold the 350 and got the 370. Pm me if you want one.
  11. It is harder than it looks. Buy the best kit you can afford to cut the mitres. A cheap saw and guide will never produce a quality cut.
  12. Check the switches on the brake and clutch pedals as a start.
  13. Decats dont pass an MOT period.
  14. 2 or 3? Big difference when it only has 5 in the sump. Either is a lot to add on a level check IMO You best check it more often as when the light comes on its usually a bad sign for our engines, and normally means damage has been done.
  15. Still look like new. So the stainless steel must be a fairly good grade.
