  1. I bet they're pretty marmite, but I like the look of these beasts and they can be had for decent money for a V8. Obviously need bigger wheels to fill up that epic arch gap I'm sure I read a post on here from a former owner that said it had given them a load of problems, but I might be mis-remembering Edit: Must have been this thread with the problems http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/36748-other-car-advice-please-300c-may-have-to-go/ But this one is much more positive http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/85177-my-other-car-is-a-300c/ and this one too http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/55904-strangely-tempted/ DO IT!
  2. I am presuming the information we have or use here is what we have heard via the media, the media seem to suggest the mp's vote for him was very weak, so why would the mp's who are "throwing their toys out the pram" hang around for a party leader whos views/policies they dont agree with and more over someone who they think will damage the party? I think the biggest surprise is that an mp has the integrity to follow their believes, not blindly back a leader they have no faith in. If you put something up for a vote, you have to accept the result. Particularly when it's so overwhelming. He took 40% more than the next candidate with 250,000 of 420,000 cast. That's a mandate by any standard even if you believe 1000s of secret Tory voters snuck in. If the losers don't think party members are "right" then it means their either wildly out of touch with your the supporter base or they have no respect for what they've decided (or more likely a bit of both)
  3. Looks great Which is great, as I just sent one of to him too
  4. Labour have demonstrated quite clearly that Blair's plan only worked for Blair and subsequent attempts to continue that haven't been a tremendous success (perhaps it might have been better had the other Millibland won?). If they're going to lose elections becuase the electorate like what Dave is doing, then they may as well lose saying things that are principled as opposed to the last few years of adopting the "If the tories are cutting £1, we'll cut 98p, aren't we nice?" approach. They're biggest problem is the toys out the pram from the losers, when you've been so colossally rejected by the party members, at least have the good grace to concede and get on board instead of beefing in the corner
  5. Didn't 60% of his own party vote for him?
  6. My tech used electrical contact cleaner on the MAF. Be careful with it, it looks delicate. Speaking of which, the throttle body can be super stroppy too, but only on the HR I believe. So make sure you disconnect the battery first (be careful about the door glass when it's disconnected). I couldn't find a guide, but do read this if you have an HR. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/86610-high-erratic-idle-2007-coupe-70k-mileage/page__st__20
  7. Pleased yoy're ok. Sorry to see the Zed like that. No one can say you didn't do it properly though!
  8. This un http://www.amazon.co.uk/GREASE-cartridge-bearings-resist-marine/dp/B00JVVJ9KQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1442183232&sr=8-1&keywords=lucas+marine+grease
  9. Make sure you get super heavy duty marine grease that won't wash off, mine's been gone now for 2 years
  10. It's already flushed some Tories out of the Labour front bench, so that's positive. It's about time Labour wasn't just Tories in red outfits. Think it'll be enough to worry Nicola north of the border G?
  11. I watched a Z4M tear it up at Croft in the rain against some extremely rapid cars, a couple of 911s and an M3 amongst them.
  12. Nice job, looks great For a ginge
  13. Couple of small mods today now the rain's gone. Silvatec bulbs up front, fiddly as **** to get to, but worth the effort. Fried egg well and truly eaten Finally fitted the carbon dipped kicks from Ricey, had to paint the Zeds since these arrived to match the others dotted about the car. Whilst I had the red out, thought I'd tart up the washer fluid cap too
  14. Don't suppose you need a 34yr old apprentice, doesn't know much, quick learner, works hard?
  15. Is it significantly more ugly than a regular BMW or Merc rep mobile on the outside. The 50" screen airdropped into the dash is significantly uglier mind. Either way beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You reckon anything else might tempt you in the intervening 15 months? It's a long wait.
  16. As above. Report to his company, the Fedz won't be interested but his boss should be. Remember the good old days, when there were no crashes? Before foreigners
  17. If that doesn't help, given where you are, I'd forget about Nissan as you've got Abbey Motorsport and Horsham Developments less than an hour away and they're two of the most respected and experienced Zed specialists in the country. Might be worth considering. Good luck!

    GT-Four

    It's such a great motor you've got there, few years and it will be worth a fortune!
  19. I think I got mine from eurocarparts I think Clark Motorsport stock em too. PS - A causal relationship has been established between the pump change and the wet leg.
  20. If there's absolutely no noise when you pull the lever, it's likely the fuse or the pump. As you know, the pump's a tenner and just about the easiest replacement job on the zed after wiper blades. It's so easy, I managed to do it and only suffered a wet leg. If it was making a noise but with no squirt (ooo err) I'd be replacing or drilling out the one way valve for the front wipers.
  21. Couldn't hear much on the vid but if its a metalic click when changing from reverse to forward and vice versa, then probably.
  22. MAF clean with appropriate precautions and correct fluid wouldn't hurt, have a quick look for a guide. Cured a lumpy idle for me, though mine never actually cut out, just stumbled
  23. They'll most likely have a record, so you could try phoning with your plate and asking. Saves the trip.
