  1. Ah I didn't realise you could get them so cheap! I think i got ripped off with mine
  2. They're about 50-60 new, I was shocked as well.
  3. SOLD TO A MISTER SamN Looking for £40 ono including postage, pictures below
  4. I haven't heard anything back yet. R35LEE, I'm glad you said that as I thought the clutch disengaged the cruise as well. A little more info on the crash: The brake pedal wouldn't depress fully, would only depress about 20% and would not disengage the cruise, same for the clutch, would only depress about 20%, this did manage to slow the car down slightly as it let it coast but when I let the clutch back up the car would accelerate back to cruising speed. Neither the cancel or on/off button would turn the cruse off. Please note guys that this all happened in about 10 seconds, I was coming up to a 3 lane traffic jam, I always leave a massive gap in front off me so I calmly began to brake, and thats when the problems started. I had enough time to realise the brake/clutch weren't working properly and nothing would turn the cruise off, at this point I was in a runaway car and starred panicking, was only a few seconds from hitting a wall of cars, the inside lane was blocked by now so I couldn't get in to the hard shoulder to use the gears as brakes which would have been my next move. Scary stuff
  5. I've just had a look now, they're all around the £9k mark, I only paid £7k for mine and only said the value was £7k when I insured it, do you think this makes a difference? Doesn't make a difference mate. If you put 20k they aren't going to pay that out are they? Send over the adverts with similair age and mileage and see what they come back with Ah thanks a lot, just emailed them now.
  6. No slur taken, I always keep my feet on the pedals when I have cruise control on anyway, but this thought did cross my mind when the brakes weren't working, so I looked at my feet to make sure I was actually pressing the brake pedal, and I was. No, everyone was alright.
  7. Ah sorry, I meant it has 350z rays not the 370z, I've edited the original post.
  8. Well this is another post coming, the cruise control would not turn off and the brakes would not work, I was stuck at 65 on the motorway with only a few seconds until I hit a traffic jam, I had to sort of thread the car through the cars in the outside lane and the central reservation to avoid a serious collision, thankfully the impact with the central reservation slowed the car down. The insurance conducted a investigation but couldn't find a fault with the car so they say it's my fault. Has anyone else had or know of anything like this happening?

  10. Yeah it's their first offer, thanks, I'll try this.
  11. Damage is pretty bad, every panel on both sides need replacing, all wheels need repairing/fixing and the underside is probably damaged, its making knocking noises.
  12. Thanks for the reply, the wheels are trashed unfortunately.
  13. My beloved zed got written off and I'm just wondering how accurate the insurers valuation is? They've quoted £6,300. This seems a little low to me as I payed £7,000 for it 3 months ago and that seemed like a bargain at the time as another zed dealer was trying to buy it to sell it on. Details about the car: 54 plate gt spec black leather and black paint 350z rays alloys full service history 50,000 miles. It was in absolute pristine condition as well.
  14. Hey guys, so I followed the the ipod hack guide to a t, did the stereo reset and the aux lead works (terrible sound, but thats a separate issue) but none of the stereo buttons work! I can turn it on, adjust the volume, load and eject a cd, but thats it! I can't select cd, tape or radio, cant adjust frequency or base settings or anything else, does anyone have any idea whats causing it? Have I basically destroyed my stereo with dodgy soldering?
