  1. None of this is tricky but you do need a multi-meter and to do it properly, seal any new joints you make and not leave wires dangling, you obviously have to be OK with removing bits of trim etc. Think carefully about an existing circuit that meets all your condition and use that so your logic is all sorted.
  2. These already have oil seals in correct? so your replacing two components in one go? the main gaskets and the oil seals?
  3. Silly question. I saw some awhile back involved drilling bits out etc these I take it are completely identical to the OEM ones? remove and replace? How much work is it to replace them? I'm sure I have some leaks somewhere
  4. Well we can only go on what we know!
  5. Except they aren't building in Europe, not one of the Japanese factories is moving to Europe, the trade deal and decline in sales is what's started this. Us being in the EU might have delayed the move but that's it.
  6. If us leaving the EU was the cause then these companies would be moving to EU countries they're not all of the Japanese companies are returning to Japan, partly due to the fact EU sales are dipping and partly due to the coming trade deal between Japan and the EU meaning there's little point to having EU production for models reducing in volume. Yes we'll need to come up with our own trade deal but ultimately they're moving due to the fact market conditions have meant ANY EU production isn't sensible anymore.

    Spoiler

    Not a fan of that design but the finish looks great bodyshop or yourself?
  8. Mines mirrored with admiral, that's from my cheap 350 onto something much more pricey!
  9. Cool curious to hear what the quality is like, i'd assumed the cap based solutions weren't as accurate as the inside ones
  10. What tyre pressure/temp system are you using? I had a look awhile back and most of the them are just the screw in caps rather than a proper system or a horrid little display. I fancy fitting one to my DE, I'm always too lazy to check the pressures myself!
  11. If I reset mine it's usually triggered by cruising at a certain RPM or load.
  12. I've got Berk HFCs and they constantly throw errors, some people seem to get them some people don't I reset them sometimes, I've had spacers on and off doesn't make a bit of difference it's just life. I've pondered if there's some oil in the mixture, I do burn a fair bit of oil so I was pondering fitting a catch can and seeing if that helped. I've had the cats 6 years now so it's not terminal or anything, never had any other issues. Can't be bothered to buy new sensors that as far as everyone says are totally redundant. There's apparently a dummy circuit you can fit and then delete the sensors or even have them turned off at remap time
  13. Your not helping the DRL's, are they a standard thing? I'm assuming the rear bumper light is the usual 370 one?
  14. I dread to ask but what's an MOT wash? An hour isn't a long time to do a job you'll spend 10 min just getting the car up and down!
  15. ah jeeze just saw this, still meant to be saving up for the weber! the rears look very similar, kinda prefer this one tbh! Do you know in terms of fitment which is better the weber or this?
  16. Agreed, however service won't tell you those things either mind!
  17. Get the last Mot at least (online) and see what advisories it had!
  18. Yup but the service is really just fluid changes and occasionally the belts. It's not a magic check or guarantee of anything. I've given up having my cars serviced apart from the BMW as it's resale price will factor in the magic dealer stamps, the other cars it makes no different and I'll do as good a job on the service as anyone else.
  19. The service is just oil/filter changes I'd look in detail at the MOT's to see what the advisories were and if they reoccurred or seemed to be fixed. I'm fine with someone changing their own oil and filters and much more worried if it seems like there's a ton of advisories popping up.
  20. Do more pennys help? Reason I ask is I got some new OEM poppers and they were weaker than my old ones with 3p wedged inside! Having said that I got some new struts and they weren't much better either!
  21. It was indeed it's located just by the antenna in the boot. I've no idea if it's the same across all the 350z's regardless of age.
  22. It was my exact issue yes, sorry I can't tell you what the expected voltage is I just took it on faith to replace it but yeah testing would be good!
