+1 on that,i wanted a sporty car,not a tarted up,double the price of a basic model hot hatch.

+1.Unless people on here knew him personally how can anyone possibly comment on him?

I think I'd have to disagree with you on freewheeling - correct don't use the brakes, because you have wasted the energy getting there, just use natural engine braking. Also when freewheeling the engine will use fuel to turn the engine over and keep firing, however, keep it in gear going downhill, just take you foot off the accelerator - the momentum keeps the engine turning ie use gravity to power the engine not petrol I am no mechanic/engineer - so feel free to shoot me down Hmmm. you learn something new every day. What I found with the golf was that under engine braking the car would slow down quicker, whereas if free wheeling, you could happily freewheel for a much greater distance - so if i saw cars braking up ahead of me on the road I could just time it so id freewheel up to them, whereas with engine braking, the car would end up stopping too soon, and id have to accelerate again. You can cover quite a long distance sometimes through freewheeling, esp if down hill - so in effect you could be travelling at 60mph, but engine revs are just idling at 600rpm - compared to whatever revs you`d normally be pulling travelling at 60mph. I know on my golf it made a huge difference, but maybe on the zed things are different. As someone else said, at any rate, the zed isnt the car to have if your worried about saving a few mpg! Think diesels run a higher compression than petrol so have greater engine braking!

ERRRRRRRRRRRRR ,so your names not Chris then Stew?

Have driven often in Europe,the lane discipline is much better than here,have driven at over 130mph in Germany,never had to brake heavy while some idiot trundles along in the overtaking lane.Also noticed that on the Autobahn they drive with lights on whatever the conditions presumably so you can be seen easily in the rear view mirrors.

The M10 x1.25 is a non standard thread pitch,M10 standard is a 1.5 pitch,as i said car makers use non standard so you buy the parts from them.I work for an engineering company and have access to any combination of threads available.

Would have been tempted while silencer was off to spray with heat resistant black paint,surprising how much better it would have looked as you do do see quite a huge chunk of the silencer from behind.

If it measures 8mm it will be an M8 thread,BUT you can get different thread pitches.Best to compare with a standard M8 bolt.In my exsperience some car manufacturers use non standard threads just to confuse people who like to work on there cars and not take them to a franchised garages.

Have a set that my son bought me for my b'day,not got round to fitting them.I have an 05 GT,so should fit yours.They were purchased from USA,will find out how much he paid for them and how much he would want to sell them for.If interested pm me and will reply with a price.

Another battery!

Same here,cheap small sat nav in cubby when 'birdview' cant cope

oops,on again!

Me,an addict?NO

Tyre stockists wont sell tyres over 3 years old,have also been told they wont fit customer supplied tyres over 10 years old,so if yours are within that they should be okay.As the seller is a reputable garage,i am sure if you have a problem they will sort it.

Nice pics You get gravel rash on ur chin

After sending my logbook off with a personal reg change,it came back with an extra owner,they added me on again ,tho after a phone call was sorted!

Dont exspect a Nissan 'stealer' to know what he's doing,too many on hear know they havent a clue!

Take a loan car from EH370z!

Offered me stupid money for my previous car,a mint 53plate Yaris t-sport,38k miles,£1850 Sold it private,£2950.

My wifes 55,drives my zed!

Hope you weren't offended,just that knowing how much these cars cost to run had me wondering.

Sorry but still trying to figure out how someone with no job can afford to buy,insure and run a zed?

Thought they were paint runs

Nice paintwork from Nissan,managed to do a mural on every panel of some bloke with a camera!
