Been trying to get hold of a pair of Kumho KU31's 245/45ZR18 for the rear of my Zed but it appears these are no longer listed, only choice seems to be KU19's, has anybody tried these, if so are they any good compared to the 31's.

 

Biccy's..... Pfft doughnuts are the way to a sheds heart

I heard something about pallets of doughnuts!!!!!!!!!!!

Your very welcome mate (what an array of biccys )

 

Keep an eye out for a repeat of the same problem but she seems fine after a reset.

Who is bonkers me or the Bitch ???

 

Your Zed looked great as well very clean and shiny

The bitch is bonkers, not so sure about you mate only kidding, your help and hospitality was much appriciated.

Had my first visit to the Zed shed today, saw The Bitch in all her glory, even had a trip out in her, two words "Proper Bonkers", big thank you to Chris and Bob for sorting Roxy out, she's back to normal.

Cheers Guys.

both Keyser and myself are out today but drop him a pm mate i am sure we can get it into the zed shed for a look.....stay clear of nissan mate.

 

 

+1 I should be in tomorrow drop me a PM if you want to swing by

 

Now The Bitch and the Ginger Ninja are off to play

Cheers Keyser PM sent.

The engine light will stay on even if the actual fault has gone away. Before bending over for Nissan, look for the 'pedal dance' on here, which is a way to read and clear the ECU codes yourself for free. That way you'll at least know what you're dealing with before spending any money.

 

DB

Cheers for that DB, I'll have a look for it and maybe have a go in the morning.

Well mine and Roxy's relationship came crushing down this afternoon when I got in her, drove off thinking she doesn't feel right, very sluggish, not much power, looked down and saw I had the check engine light, slip indicator and traction light all on, pulled over switched her off, then started again, traction and slip lights off but check engine still on and back to having some engine power.

So it looks like I will have a trip to Westover Nissan to get her sorted, P3 service due aswell along with MOT, think it could turn out to be an expensive next week.

Sounds like a mental beast but absolutely addictive, I bet you must have one hell of a grin

Not too far from me mate, so another southern owner, I travelled all over before I found my Roxy and see turned up in Poole, so you never know, just keep looking and the right one will find ya.

Between 650 - 800 a month, use my Roxy for work, travelling to events all over the UK and Europe.

As the title suggests a 54 plate gunmetal travelling along Belle Vue Road in Southbourne at 4.34pm.

Bloody hell when I phoned up Westover Nissan in Poole, they told me £442.00p for a P3, cant find a decent independent in the Bournemouth/Poole area so I will end up having to pay that, cant really travel too far cos my work takes me away a lot.

 

This is going to sound odd bt take it to Halfords auto centre on the Nuffield industrial estate. They are all good chaps and will look after you very well, cost effective and they know zed's as a few other local chaps go there. Any MOT or servicing stuff I take it to them, any modifications/fabrication I take to a friend in Gillingham.

Cheers Chris, I'll have to give them a call cos it needs an mot as well so I would rather get it all done at once.

Around £630

 

I bet his arse dropped when he read that

 

To be honest before I got the car, this is the kind of price I was expecting for a V6 Sports Car... was pleasantly surprised by the quotes i've been getting!

 

Quite nice to see the massive variation in prices too - I live in the south so afraid you're a bit far away atkins666 or i'd go for that!

 

ZMANALEX - I'll give it a think and get back to you, definitely not confident enough to do it myself so i'll work out prices.

 

Cheers for the resposnes

I with you on that, not sure I would fancy taking it all on myself, up the drive with my axle stands.

Bloody hell when I phoned up Westover Nissan in Poole, they told me £442.00p for a P3, cant find a decent independent in the Bournemouth/Poole area so I will end up having to pay that, cant really travel too far cos my work takes me away a lot.

 

Believe me I know guys who would snap that price up just to get the main dealership stamp in the book!

No not I !!

Really, I thought it was over priced myself but with no independent near dont have any choice, now if I had kept my BM or Jag then no probs, independents within a mile or two both with good reps.

Right then, just been working my mpg out after a trip at the weekend to Lincs, my journey miles from home to the event was 215 each way, going up I averaged 24.1 and on the return 16.12.

Never heard of Metrosexual before so loked it up, below is the definition:

Metrosexual

An urban straight male ranging in age from late teens to mid 30's who is: good looking, stylish, fashionable, trendy, cultured, & well groomed. A metro sexual is very conscious about his image and looks in public. A metro sexual is often associated with getting manicures, facials, & massages, as well as using "products" and shopping at nice clothing stores. However, metro sexuals don't necessarily engage in each of these activities.

Modern enlightened, sort of rennasance man. Secure and confident, capable and cool, typically well educated and stylish. Heterosexual with a twist, not gay by any means, but he probally has a few gay friends, and can easily be mistaken for gay by rednecks and jock types. The only straight guy in a fabric store or antique shop who is not being dragged there by a woman.

Not being good looking, stylish, fashionable, trendy, cultured and being well above my mid 30's, I'm f****d for fitting into that category!
