Variation in prices throughout dealers does my head in! £160 I was quoted for a new key, which is still extortionate.

Yea driving it for a while then re bleeding probably would have sorted it out for me too, however I really couldn't be arsed jacking all 4 corners up and removing the wheels all over again, hence the lazy £40

With all insurance companies there are hit and miss moments. They usually over price your renewal anyway so getting a few quid off after calling is to be expected. Admiral couldn't come within £200 of our second cars insurance though, they offered £450 for renewal and dropped about £20 on the phone, but I already had quotes of just over £200 from the post office...

eBay, buy any of them, they all work, however, for about 4 times the price of the cheapest ones you can get the Bosch Aero Blades which are probably the best you can get, just not sure if they're worth 4-5 times more than the cheap ones.

Jeez Kyle, 13 seconds to return a simple search result on eBay? What internet service provider you using? I know, I know, it took a bit longer than usual, but I got sidetracked by the clear indicator clusters

I'd have that black 240Z in a heartbeat, stunning motor!!

Bleeding them twice is nothing, I went round the car 7 times when I changed my lines, pads and discs, still bloody spongey. Ended up giving up and paid £40 to get it sorted.

you got a link to that mate? If you go to eBay and type in "350z rear lights" they'll be there, but since I'm in a good mood, I took 13 seconds of my time and did it for you. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/02-05-Nissan-350Z-LED-All-Red-Lexus-Rear-Tail-lights-/380634716706?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item589f98da22

No the oil would be fine although its never a bad idea to change it. The Zeds gears tick does vibrate quite a bit as it is, is it possible that you never really noticed it and after having work done to the car you're more critical and looking for faults? I know I tend to do this after a service and usually find something I never noticed before.

Glad you're enjoying the new Zed about the boot, though, it's not the struts, it'll be the spring poppers at each bottom corner of the lid, it's their job to lift the boot beyond the catch, so search for the penny trick or source some new ones from Zmanalex

Have to checked the for sale thread? http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/70633-alezan-leather-gearknob-vgc/

Close but no cigar

I'd get them to put the Rays on and then rubbish what ever's on it ATM, unless it's a set a non Halfords aftermarket rims.

What the hell did he think was going to happen? The roof just hang there on its own?

Chances are, like mine the camber bolts and toe bolts will all be rusted solid and will need chopped off. You only get one pair with the camber kit to be used in place of the OEM toe ones, so you'll likely still need another pair to be able to adjust everything correctly

Go see it with no money, check out all paper work, agree a price then come back at a later date with a "driver" to pay and pick her up

It's a no brainer for me, get the HR (313) the only difference between it and the facelift model from 06 externally is the bonnet, but what a bonnet it is! Also with the HR, the engine is good for 500+bhp if you choose to go FI in the future, whereas the other 2 will need the engine rebuilt.

I love it, one of my top 5 series at the moment. It's weird watching it and recognising places, castles, hills etc. I know of a good few people who have been used as extras in it too. Most of the forest scenes are filmed less than 10 miles from me and you can go watch filming if you know when it's on.

Unfortunately the type of car, where its kept etc will make very little difference, the main factor is age and experience, so there's nothing that can be done. When I was 18 I had a 125 motorcycle, £1600 for the first year it cost me and that's with 1 years NCB. Now with 0 years NCB for motorcycles I could insure it for £100. I also don't think the new car free insurance thing would work either, I haven't seen one that gives free insurance to under 22's for years.

All GT leather seats will fit all models of Zeds

But hopefully many more improvements in the future $£$£$£

Is there a genuine reason why he would try to keep turning the car over when it was burning or was he just trying to take advantage of the situation and fire it up?

I got a packet of Maryland cookies yesterday, they're now about the same size as those mini cookies you used to get in bags like mini chedders!

Unfortunately that's how it is. Statistically 1 in 5 young drivers will have an accident in their first 6 months, someone has to pay for it, namely other young drivers. If the money can be scrambled together for this one year and there are no incidents, you'll probably find it'll cost less than half next year,

I'm actually not 100% sure what to do with them yet. I might keep them incase I sell the car so I can swap them back as the 06+ are worth a few quid, on the other hand I might sell them if they start to get in the way...
