  3. Do you get any cabin noise from it on long drives, don't really want it to be intrusive when on the motorway but when comparing them on you tube it does sound nice.
  4. Think you have to buy new valve covers complete, the plug seals are not removable. There is a lot on the USA forums about it and one company does seals that fit but you have to use a hole saw to cut out the plastic baffle inside the cover and silicone the new seals in. if you PM Alex I think he does the new covers.
  5. Hi All, Anyone got a full Nismo cat back exhaust system for sale for a 2005 Zed, would like a new one but boy are they expensive.
  6. Hi All, Had my 276 for 2 months with 67,000 miles now done 3000 miles on it over that period but have been a bit concerned as used getting on for 2ltrs of oil. It uses more oil than my old supercharged A series Mini. Looked at the US forums and can see it has been a big issue over there. I have done visual inspections and can only see a small leak in No.6 plug hole but not major yet. No sign of burning it either although I recently fitted a plenum spacer and the oil looked fairly fresh inside. Going to check the PCV valve and try a leak down test if I get time over the weekend.
  7. Had the same issue, bought the slave kit from Alex..problem solved.
  8. Just bought the rad cap and rocker gaskets.
  9. Hi Dan, Interested in then hoses and manual wallet. Where are you based?
  10. Thanks for the welcome....couple of pics attached...
  11. Hi to All, Bought a UK 350 GT in Azure blue and factory Nismo kit 3 weeks ago and can't get enough of it :teeth:I have always been a self confessed classic Mini nut, restoring tuning supercharging etc etc and still have 3 of them but I can't stay away from the Zed....I was actually looking at Prodrive Alfa Brera's but saw the 350 and fell in love with it.glad I didn't get the Alfa.....tuning has started with a spacer kit from Wasso and Zmanalex sorting out a sat nav remote...everyone very helpful and friendly.............think I may be a convert.... Nick...
