  1. Black. Used in my car boot but there is no wear and tear, looks new, no stains or dirt. This will have to be rolled to be posted . Price £35 including postage
  2. Enjoy the car. We'll be glad to see you anytime you are around here. Is your Dad happy how it drives?
  3. Hi Sam. Looks like you it didn't take you long to get your number plate on. Have you been able to drive it properly yet or is the insurance still on the Mini? I never turned off the traction control but no doubt you will! John.
  4. Sadly decided to sell my Z, it's getting very little use.Here's the link to the Pistonheads ad: http://www.pistonhea...-uk-car/2196615

    Just Checking

    Need a new set of 19" tyres for the 370 and from what I've read here and elsewhere Michelin Pilot Super Sports are easily the top choice,disregarding price of course. It was between these or sticking to the oem Bridgestones,but I'll go with the Michelin unless anyone disagrees,or something better has just come out. Just for fast road use,no trackdays.
  6. Worth £8k at least IMO...might not sell mine next year. The prices will go up...but in about 5 years time!!!
  7. Sorry,should have been on the 350 section not the 370,but plenty of replies anyway. Car will have a very low mileage on it,about 25k,so I'll want a good price for the year. I was thinking Falkens,or something else mid range like Uniroyal or Avon.I would think a good matching set of these wouldn't put anyone off given it's more than 8 years old and so isn't going to be worth a fortune.
  8. My 05 Zed will need new tyres soon .It's a second car and does very little mileage. Later in the year I'll be selling it and at that stage I guess the new tyres will only be 10% worn. So I'm reluctant to spend on the most expensive tyres but neither do I want to put anything on dangerously cheap that would tend also to put off a private buyer of the car. So,any recomendations?
  9. Actually,I'd consider a Griffith in the future,mainly because the old V8 engines don't have the reliability issues of the later engines...and I like the shape. The Z has,in some ways,a bit of the character of a TVR...but unlikely to breakdown!!
  10. What a dog's breakfast of an opinion. Firstly,what have motor bikes to do with cars?If he's had a million bikes how is this relevant to any car buying decision? Minis are little budget rattle traps that were designed over 50 years ago...so again irrelevant Metros were just a joke and the MGB was one of the worse handling and fastest rusting cars ever made. A Westfield is just a poor man's Caterham,it may handle well, but it's light years in concept from a modern sports /GT car like a Z. The guy has no experience of owning any thing like a Z so I fail to see how he even dares to express any sort of opinion about them. I'll not go into the strength and weaknesses of the Z,but based on my previous ownership of the following I'll just say a good Z is a GREAT car... TVR Tuscan 4.0 TVR Cerbera 4.5 Nissan 200SX Toyota MR 2 mk2 Honda Prelude 2.2 v-tec Mercedes SLK Audi TT Quattro Sport Etc,Etc. P.S I have actually owned all the above cars,I didn't have to " borrow any of them from my mum"
  11. I'm also glad you fixed it...others take note...it often seems the noise is from the back when it's actually from the front.
  12. I think I already said that...just a little more coherently
  13. It's probably coming from the front,I thought my noise was at back at first, but it proved to be n/s compression("banana") arm. Very common, there are loads of threads about it,do a seach. Get a passenger to listen for you,leaning forward towards the footwell,to see if the noise really is from the front. Because the wear in the ball joint only needs to be very little for a rattle/knock to appear,garages find it hard to find with just a quick look underneath.
