Hey guys, Got word from Nissan today. They are giving me a full refund for all work carried out. Yey!!! Great result! Thought id let you guys know...

Well we will see what happens. I called them today and raised a ticket. Waiting to hear from Nissan... Ill let you guys know.

I just got the letter of the recall... Wonder if I can acquire for a refund from Nissan? Was less than 3 months (end of Jan) when mine was replaced. I always thought they might recall these models. Glad everyone else getting it sorted though.

Oh I will, as in my car wont be going there. Its just I like to find out things

Do you know the company? He said again about his dealer and said if it made me feel better I could drive my car down. See the dealer and stock etc. What got me was I couldnt find anything at all on the web about this company... Or very very little.

He called me again this morning and I told him I didnt want to go for it. Told him why and there wasnt much he could say to convince me. Essentially no real way fro me to know for sure.

Exactly lol... I said that to the guy on the phone!!!

Hi, I got a call tonight from someone called Dean saying they were from Autovia in Peterborough. After a lenghty call the deal is they buy my car and sell it on. I get a final amount of £xxxxx and no other hidden costs etc. Now this all seems to good to be true to me... They said they will pick up the car and I keep the V5. The car will be sold through them and I get a set amount. I get this amount when it sells of after 60 days if the car has not sold either way. Offered me £17000 for my car, initially £16500. Ive had a good look round on the web and cat find anything negative (or positive) about the company and im just posting this to see if anyone has heard or has any knowledge of the company. www.autoviacars.co.uk.razsor.autotrader.co.uk/ http://www.autotrade...stock/used/cars Anyway im after any info or opinions on this. Its the first ive heard of anything like this. My gut says its too good to be true... Thanks

Lol I just realised I cant put it up for sale as I havent got 100 posts... oh well...is it ok to ask people to spread the word ???

Hey all, I have recently been offered a new job (starts in April) and it comes with a company car so ive decided to sell the 370Z since my partner has a car, dont really have need for 3 cars. Its a damn shame tbh since the time and effort I took to find the model I wanted but there is just no point keeping it. I refuse to use the Z with the car allowance and id really rather not buy a second car sooooooo... Good news is that I have a new job Bad news is I have chosen to sell the 370Z Anyway its been a great car, loved every second (bar the steering lock failure lol) and it really will be a huge shame to see it go. My partner and I think this is the best way forward so car is now up for sale Id like to say thanks to all for the help and support on the forum. Looks like ill have a few choices for the company car but not sure which at the mo. Cheers

Update: Picked up my car today. 1 day early so cant be bad. Good news on arriving, Benfield Nissan offered me further discount on the £475 repair. This was a total surprise and I just cant believe how good this dealer has been with me. Even better than Honda, which is saying something since I was a customer with them for 5 years. They reduced the charge down to £366, another £109 off!!! With the £175 ill be getting from the place I bought the car means I'm only paying £191 Im over the moon. So good to have the car back, and the steering lock control comes with 12 month warranty. Fingers crossed for no more issues. All in all Benfield Nissan have been outstanding as far as customer care goes... \0/ cheer!

I know I shouldn't have to pya but due to the circumstances I feel I got at least something, and having more than 50% of the repair covered is oki. Ill call them about getting the part... Dunno how id go about fixing it?!?

Update: Nissan have agreed a contribution of £238, so basically 33% of the cost. Dealer said main reason why it wasnt more is because I didnt buy the car from Nissan and the 3rd service wasn't completed by Nissan. So ive accepted that and I have £475 to pay. I have called the dealer I bought the car from in Colchester and Mark (the owner) has agreed to pay £175 towards the cost also as a gesture of good will. So all in all im paying £300 for the repair and I have a 12 month warranty on all parts and labour from Nissan. I did hope for more from Nissan but since both Nissan and the dealer arent obliged to contribute anything Im satisfied with that. Work being done, said part should arrive tomorrow and car be ready for Friday. They also letting me keep the courtesy car until I pick up the 370Z which is nice. Benfield Nissan in Newcastle now have a customer guaranteed! Mark from Alresford Garage in Colchester has also been awesome. All in all not bad I think... Just hope nothing else goes wrong now. Bri

Picked up my courtesy car and is a manual Micra... yey! Spoke to the Service Manager and he said he has a 370z on a 10 plate but its in hi garage until March ;-) He is aware of fault and trying to get Nissan to cover the cost or make a partial contribution. He also said the part will be Version 4 or some such. Im sure someone mentioned that the 09 plates have Version 3 of the SLU. So he thinks the newer version of the part will be fine... Everyone very nice at the Service Dept so all is good so far. You dont know how good it feels to have a car again even if it is just a Micra. I will get an update from Nissan on Monday they said...
