Awesome, I've got a pom x he would never do that!!

With the AC running at Idle the 350 sounds much better and to top it off the release bearing doesn't rattle, because that rattle to people who don't know much about cars or who are not mechanically minded means it's broken!

Anyway, anyone know if there is a way of increasing the idle RPM to the same as if the AC is running?

Hi are these still for sale? Thanks

It's not an advert but surely if any of you watched Dexter TV series you've noticed a yellow Zed with Nismo bodykit. It was just a 2 seconds scene, but one I remembered Can't remember which season or episode though... Maybe at some point I will decide to re-watch and then let you know :-)

Evening all,

Another advert with the 350 in, lime green remote control in new LV insurance add, so that's to add to the Azure 350 in the We Buy Any Car add, any more?

Welcome! I'm in Wokingham, I've only see another two floating around near us.

That was me at the petrol station :-) the bemusement was because I was trying to see if they had super which they didn't LOL, thanks for the beep.

Cheers, saw that today funnily enough! Looked fairly good for the money, not fussed about touch screen. My main reasons for upgrading was decent connectivity, have you noticed much improvement in sound quality / performance? Thanks

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before, search wasn't my friend today. Can anyone recommend a good all round double din head unit for around £120? Loads of choice out there! Cheers

Nice one, thanks all!

There are TONS of threads just like this one, do try and search first pretty please.

Anyway, I have new, standard EBC discs & yellow stuff pads - no cold squealing\squeaks

Thought there would be, but multiple searches brought nothing up for me. I am an avid user of search.

I have yellow stuff on mine, my brakes are set up for track and day use, somewhere on here is a thread from Zmanalex showing correct bedding in procedures..

Thanks, any problems with squeaking from cold?

Just bought a set of these but not fitted yet, so cant comment on performance.

By the way......top car you've got there!!

Cheers you too, let us know how you get on with them!

Thanks all, not going to track, just for normal road use and a blat every now and then. Yellow stuff seem to be well regarded on the net, but sometimes have cold squeak problems, that would do my head in. Ferrodos 2500's also good reviews but was hoping to keep the budget to £130 mark. I'll keep searching.

Cheers

Hi,

Couldn’t find a detailed write up on pads, anyone recommend some decent (Better than standard) / well priced pads?

Cheers

If your thinking of putting spacers on but worrying about adverse effects to driving characteristics / handling, don’t worry. I have a HR and last weekend put the 25mm & 20mm setup on, looks soooo much better and no adverse effect, might even say cornering slightly improved, but that could be a placebo. In summary - DO IT!

Hi,

I owned a 05 M3 manual for a while. In summary, nice car, awesome engine, didn’t like the manual box throws were too long! and clutch was heavy. Obviously inspection 2 servicing is £££, at the time I had mine it was around the £900 mark. The older ones have the potential rear subframe issue, so one to watch out for and check. Also check for running in service and that the valve shims have been checked / replaced at the required intervals. A lot of car for the money but costs quite a bit more that a Z to run and maintain properly.

Also worth getting one with the Harmon Kardon system as standard stereo is naff!

Wanted good condition as above. Thanks

Best place for an Astra!

Hello Steve,

I’m interested in a set of these if you still have some. To confirm these will fit an HR model?

Any ideas why they cost so much more than the older type? e.g better material, design etc?

Cheers

Nick

Hi, having bought my 350 back in September, I test drove two non HR models then an HR, difference is noticeable. Generally feels more modern. Go for a HR if you can! Plus you get the bonnet bulge

Thanks Jez.

Cool, just wanted to check. Thanks all.
