  1. The only one I've heard about are Carhood Warehouse in Chessington. i'm going there in a couple of weeks.
  2. Did these go in the end? Looks like they did
  3. I'll have to give this guy a call I think. I'm in Margate (blue roadster with a lovely keymark down one side and have been using Total Motor Care for years, but they've just quoted me over £800 for two tyres and replacing the suspension arms even though it was just the bushes that had an advisory post-MOT.
  4. It's the indicators in the bumper. I can move them around, it's like a clip has busted on them.
  5. So I've just noticed that both my rear indicator clusters are no longer where they should be. Either someone has knocked them out or I've got too close to a hedge or something. Can these be re-seated by just removing the rear lights or is it a bigger job than I'm hoping for? Cheers.
  6. Pics of damage and price if you could please?
  7. Looking to replace the shoddy standards. Anyone?
  8. After much searching for a black GT, I found... A blue 350 roadster! Either way, I'm loving it, so I guess this is an official hello! One niggle is the clutch pedal sticks when the engine gets hot, I understand this is an easy fix with braided lines replacing OEM pipes, where do I get some? My local Nissan garage didn't have a clue what I was talking about Cheers, Lee
  9. Nope, not a problem for the right car at all. I was in a bit of a situation with the FTO going a bit dodge, but I'm gonna patch her up until I can find the right Zed for sure. I'll keep that in mind about the members thing if I see one further up north. Thanks for the warm welcome though
  10. Cheers guys. Driving one has definitely sown a seed so I'm on a mission to find one! There's a couple about on forecourts, I have an £7-8k budget (a bit more come April), I'm guessing I should be able to find a decent one.
  11. Already done! The hunt continues!!!
  12. Hi all, I'm Lee and I'm looking at stepping up to a 350Z having owned an FTO for the past 7 years. I'm desperately trying to find a black GT with black leather interior and failing miserably, being located in the most south east part of the UK possible! I went and test drove a black GT with orange leather today, fabulous car but this one had some niggles and I was hoping to get some advice. I checked all the usual bits (clunking from the rear, fogged up Xenons, rust on the sills/exhaust etc), but the following bits concerned me. - There was a nasty grinding noise at full lock both ways, I worry that it's wheel bearings being shot? - The Bose head unit seems to have something stuck in it as there was no way a CD was going in. Now unless I'm being utterly stupid and this wasn't actually a CD insert, that appears to be screwed. - The sub behind the driver's seat did not appear to be working. As I understand it, these Bose systems are a pig to replace/upgrade (or downgrade, depending how you look at it!). Otherwise the car is clean, it's a '04 with I guess expected mileage of 89k. It's been serviced fairly regularly, but has been SORN for a while now. 6 previous owners, here it is in case there's any knowledge in the club: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201214461495623/sort/default/usedcars/colour/black/model/350_z/make/nissan/onesearchad/used/onesearchad/nearlynew/onesearchad/new/page/1/postcode/ct94df/radius/1500?logcode=p The bloke that owns the garage is a complete tool which has put me on edge, he's offered to fix everything (albeit begrudgingly) and offered a 3 month warranty, and seeing as my FTO is pretty much dead I need a car sooner rather than later, but I don't want to buy a dog of a car. Thanks and hope to own one of these brilliant cars very soon!
