  1. I am planning to get my tracking done at a garage near to where I am working. The garage has the Hunter system, is there any particular fast road settings I need to ask for? Or would I be better having them just dial in the standard factory set up?
  2. I will have a set of GT4 Alloys with tyres up for sale soon.
  3. Why not use a phablet? Some thing like the Ulefone U7 U69, it has a 7 inch screen and a good spec.
  4. Here's a picture of my bay. I'd like to take credit for it, but the work was done by MopedMark. I still have a few bit I want to do and when Its finish I will put up a few photos showing the before and afters.

    Boot poppers

    Thanks for the replies. I have already taken the boot weight out, and the struts are brand new uprated for use with a spoiler.

    Boot poppers

    I have replaced my dampers and the boot wont pop up enough to release the catch. I've tried put penny's in the boot poppers, but even with 6p in each side its still not working. Can anyone tell me where I can buy a set?
  7. Did you ever fit the later console? If so any problems?
  8. I now have a Mishimoto power steering tank and coolant tank to install, the brackets don't look like a direct replacement. Do I need to fabricate or bend the included mounting plates? How have others install them?
  9. I have a Mishimoto thermostat to install in my 2003 350z. The thermostat did not come with a gasket and checking the installation notes on the Mishimoto website, it states one isn't needed? Is this information correct?
  10. Has anyone used silicon hose instead of P/S hose? is the silicon hose likely to react to the P/S fluid?
  11. Love the US version but, turned over after a couple of minuets of listening to the UK version. The fat "Mine" woman and her chubby hubby, just grated on me.
  12. I have just replaced my tyres for Eagle F1's and now plan on getting a 4 wheel alignment as I don't think it's been done since it left the factory. Can anyone recommend me somewhere near Castle Vale in Birmingham? I can't travel anywhere else as I am currently working at Jaguar 7days a week.

    Worth a punt

    As others have said, don't buy unbranded crap, spend another £40 and buy something like this. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pioneer-AVH-X1600DVD-Touchscreen-AppRadio-MirrorLink-Black/dp/B00G5A9N6Q/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1414041025&sr=8-17&keywords=pioneer+8500bt
  14. After have some seriously good engine bay work done by MopedMark, I'm looking to add some polished parts. Who out of Mishimoto supplies the best looking and fitting coolant tank and Power Steering reservoir? BTW - As soon as the parts are in I will post up a few pictures showing the work Mark has done, it looks the dogs dangles.
  15. I will take this. Please PM me with your PayPal address.
  16. As per my opening post, I'm currently working 12hr shifts 7 days a week on the XE launch, the wheels needed balancing and its right next door to Jaguar. The good news is that I have received email confirmation from Halfords, confirming that the parking charge has been cancelled.
  17. Halfords have written cancelled on the letter along with the date and the managers signature. So hopefully that will be the end of it, but I am a little concerned that they may not have the authority to cancel parking charges, even though its the only place to park if you are have work being done by them. I have written to Halfords CEO (Thanks Ebized ) to ask him to confirm.
  18. I have just come back from Halfords and the manager photo copied the letter he told me he would get it cancelled and he wrote the word cancelled along with the date, he then signed it. I just get the impression that this is going to run on and will probably get loads of letters. Do I risk sending a copy of the cancelled letter to UKPC or just completely ignore everything from them from now on in?
  19. Yes that the spot. However, because Halfords had the keys and had accepted my vehicle, that the rules did not apply. If they did, then Halfords should have made that clear when they told me to leave the keys with them when they took responsibility for my car?
  20. After swapping my wheels over for a set of 370z Rays, I noticed that I was getting vibration when driving above 60 mph and as I am work 12hrs shifts 7 days a week, I thought I would drop the car off at Halfords in Castle Vale, Birmingham. I spoke to the Halfords manager who said they were busy and that if I left them the keys (they recorded it and I signed for the work to be done) and had a chance they would balance the wheels for me and phone me when it was done. By the end of the day the I hadn't had a phone call so went round and collected my keys from Halfords, the manager appologised and said to try again the following day. 10 days later I get a letter from UKPC with a £100 parking charge (not fine) reduced to £60 if I pay within 14 days because my car had overstayed the maximum 4 hours. My car was parked opposite Halfords garage doors as shown in the pictures below. I plan on speaking to Halfords about the issue and asking them for a copy of the dated receipt I signed and challenging the parking charge, but the problem is that I could end up having to pay the whole £100. Any thoughts on what I should do?
