Hi David, I've approved this for now, but please can you add one photo with the items plus your name on a bit of paper - as per the FS ad rules.

Arch bubbling is common and neither proof the rest of the underneath is a rusty mess or absolutely fine - you really need to see underneath it to make that kind of assessment. I'd take a rusty arch one with FSH over a clean one with no history. It's been a some years since I owned a 350z now, but if I was buying one again, I'd arrange for it to be up on hoist before buying. Good luck, they are awesome cars if you're patient and pick wisely.

I believe they're quite fussy when they're cold. What's the ambient temp when you're trying to open it?

Quite often, if people don't know the answer to a question - rather than just guess, they don't put anything at all. Apologies this didn't live up to your expectations, but there's no need for a temper tantrum.

Teenagers and other people involved in anti social behaviour, like warming up their car engine in a morning

I have one of these, it works, so long as the cats stick to the area that triggers it - or you have multiple for total coverage. Also annoys teenagers who can hear those frequencies.

Get some lion poo from your local garden centre, scares off foxes too.

You can disregard most of the above @Savage GT, I just spotted a page setting that might have blocked you, should be working now - if you can try again and let me know, that would be great.

Hi @Savage GT The quickest way to get to flag a problem and hopefully get an answer, is to PM a Mod or Admin with your query. Which thread specifically (please copy the link to this page) are you trying to reply to? If it's a locked or sold thread, you will not be able to reply - e.g. this one below However, if it is not locked/sold - e.g. this one below You should be able to reply. If you could please try and post on the second link, just any message will do, if it works, I will tidy it up. I have checked your profile and there is no reason there that you should not be able to reply. I have also checked the permissions on the forum sub section and cannot see an issue there. It's not impossible there is a browser or caching issue. If you are still unable to post in the second thread, then suggest trying an alternate browser briefly - so we can rule that in or out. Thanks.

These are useful, I have a 'blow r buddy' which is decent and also warms the air slightly, but it is overpriced for what it is and I would buy an alternative product with no "detailing" tax, if it needs replacing. But I only use it to dry the car if I need to apply a product after the wash and need a dry surface quickly. Otherwise, if you're just doing a wash, and you use an inline water filter, there is no need to dry it - blow or otherwise. An inline filter will pay for itself compared to using a blower each time and eliminates a job.

+1 for an inline water filter and open hose rinse - game changer in the effort and carefulness required in the drying phase, but it won't get rid of more dirt I you can't touch. To assist with that problem, I like Bill Hamber Surfex HD as a prewash, but it requires a bit of care in application (don't let it dry in sunshine or on hot panels!) and correct dilution - https://bilthamber.com/product/surfex-hd/ I know it upsets some people but I also put a splash in my snow foam lance, apparently you need to be careful if your snowfoam is already alkaline.

Hi, you're missing your bit of paper - approved for now, but please add an additional photo.

Happy to delete if you still want, but the number has been tidied.
