I used to have a shed which I used on my daily commute to work alongside my BMW 330ci M sport. I ended up exactly how Marzman explained, the BMW became too 'nice' to drive and I ended up hardly using it! It came to a point where I only used it to go for a 'round the block' drive solely for pleasure. Due to the lack of spare time, I never had the chance to take it out! I also fell into the trap of not treating the shed an actual 'shed'. I started off with an old L reg starlet which I got bored with. Then I upgraded to a BMW 318Ti compact which felt under-powered. Then I bought a Toyota MR2 GT, now that completely defeats the object of having a 'shed' as a second car. I then realised it just was not worth having a shed at all as I was clearly worse off and decided to drive the 330ci everywhere. The savings of not running a shed on the side would cover the expenses of fuel, depreciation, wear and tear etc. I decided to sell the MR2 (which I made a nice profit on) and just had one car. To reward myself for seeing sense, a few months later I got rid of the 330ci and treated myself to the Zed I've learnt that having a shed makes you more and more insecure to take the Zed out (or your actual car) as the shed will make you feel the true value of your 'proper' car. You'll ask yourself, why shall I risk taking the car out when I have a shed I could use and risk?

I have the same issue! At first I thought I may have pushed the stalk by mistake which may have released some water, but I've now noticed dried water that has trickled down my rear windscreen a few times now. I've now accepted the fact that it actually leaks! It can't be rain water/condensation as this has happened on a dry summers day on multiple occasions also. I'm curious to know what the cause of this is...

Hi all, I'm after the Z burger badges that look just like the OEM Nissan ones but instead a 'Z' in the middle. I would like the colour to be identical to the original ones (chrome) if possible. Where can I get a cheap pair of these from? Thanks for your help guys Hassan

Pm sent

Hi all, As I've mentioned previously, sometimes my handbrake light comes on when I drive enthusiastically. When I touch my handbrake lever, the light goes off. I've been advised it could be my handbrake switch or the spring? How do I change this? Does anyone have a spare one? I will also PM Alex and Lee to see if they have one Many thanks, Hassan

Just sold mine recently. I am from Leicester and you could have had it tonight! Best of luck with your search mate

The story of my missus: - She got me a Lamborghini Murcielago experience thingy - Her MOT and tax runs out this month - She took me to Top Gear Live show last year - I love footy and my 350z - She doesn't know what to get me for my birthday - My birthday is during this month (how could I forget! ) I hope it's not you!

Hmm...this sounds interesting...

As a Man Utd fan, I just cannot believe the manner in which they destroyed Arsenal (even though Arsenal may not have had their full team on). We could not have asked for a better time to play a run of difficult fixtures given the unstoppable form they are currently in. On the other hand, Man City look just as ruthless as us. I reckon they will be serious contenders for the Barclays Premiership title this season. It's fascinating how they've developed into title contenders so quickly, even though it was all done through their infinite amount of financial resources and sheer spending power. Do you think anybody else would fight for the title and what positions do you think teams will finish? Discuss....

It was cheaper to insure my facelift BMW 330CI M sport compared to a facelift BMW 325CI M sport...

Hi Bob, My cats used to stink too, wasn't good! They were a complete state, the heatshield was falling to pieces due to corrosion and soon began to rattle at 1k revs. I'm guessing yours are in the same boat... I replaced mine with HFCs

Haha!! They definitely know It's not a V6 as they've placed an 'LOL' next to it (laugh out loudly) The driver was a young blonde girl

Check this out guys!

+1!

Has to be what the 5th time thats been posted? I must have missed it 4 times then

HAHA Bet he was thinking 'you weirdo! I don't know you, why you trying to speak to me!?'

+1 Strongly agree!

DAYYMMMM!!!!

You're a credit to this forum mate Yeah same here, lets hope it don't cost too much to sort! HAHA Yeah man it was a laugh, very interesting chilling at that spot That guy got well excited, gave his engine a good rev too! You've just found yourself a new gym friend I've just purchased a couple of lamda spacers off Alex, let's hope they sort the issue! I will update you on the outcome I had a feeling it could be the HFCs as the error popped up when accelerating. Thank you for your advice, I have just purchased a set off Alex. Let's hope this rectifies the issue! I will keep this thread updated. Many Thanks, Hassan

I met Narcotix earlier who kindly plugged in his diagnostic equipment into my Zed. We retrieved an error code that states the following: 'P0420 - catalyst system effeciency below threshold bank 1' Any ideas what this means? Many thanks, Hassan

I'll PM you now

I'll sell it you for £80 You joker!!! I'm going to ask a thick question so bare with me.... what does these things do? I know it's something to do with controlling the throttle...

Bruv I really appreciate your help! When will you be free to link up? I can either come over to yours and sort it there or we can do it elsewhere at your convenience. You're a life saver man!! That's a good idea, thanks for you advice! I'll take up Narcotix's kind offer on using the code reader and we'll take it from there

Hassan you mean Yes you're right... liking the attention to detail I was driving a few days ago and the traction and ABS lights triggered. A few members have suspected this was the brake fluid level which I have topped up. Now the EML light has triggered when merging onto the M1... I can't remember if the EML light triggered the last time also or not. All the other warning lights went off as soon as I switched off and restarted the car. The EML has stayed on permanently...

Hiran! The flashing CEL method looks very confusing! I'll probably end up with the wrong diagnosis altogether This software/cable, do I have to install it onto a laptop or something? I don't actually own a laptop, I'm a PC person I would really appreciate it if you could help somehow though...
