Just rang chips away and they refused it point blank as its on the bonnet, they said it would need a full respray!

Would you like a bonnet with C**t scratched in it??? I have one if you'd like.

They obviously must know me . Noticed it when putting my car in for the MOT, presumably it will now fail for bad language. I was going to get the bonnet resprayed in a few months but will now get chips away to look at it for a short term fix. It doesn't look too deep. I live in Brighton, I thought we were better than this!

Either Super 7 in Worthing or Owen Garage in Haywards Heath, both have been recommend by forum members. Just found out my MOT ran out last week so getting that done first in case any other bits of work need to be done. Luckily I don't need to use my car and there is an independent MOT garage on my street and I'm parked outside. MOT/Service/Insurance all due in the next 4 weeks !!!

I had an overheat in the summer and had to refill ~4 litres of the coolant so wasn't going to do it. Briefly mentioned it in the OP.

Not for a Zed then Why not, have I made another school boy error? Can we have a thread of the month competition? I vote this one.

I've been after a new plate for a while the only thing that has tickled my fancy is V6 FTL (Faster Than Light).

I watched a plane do stunts for a bit then realised it was just a really big model airplane.

Thats what I was worried of, I'll give them a call. MOT/Service/Insurance all due next month EDIT .... You can now check your record online at the DVLA, you just need Drivers license number, National Insurance number and postcode. Its in Beta but worked fine for me, took 30 seconds. Result = 3 points https://www.viewdriv...licence-number?

I'll leave the thread up but thought I'd post this at the top. You can now check your record online at the DVLA, you just need Drivers license number, National Insurance number and postcode. Its in Beta but worked fine for me, took 30 seconds. Result = 3 points https://www.viewdriv...licence-number? ----------------------------- Coming up to renew my insurance and just thought I check that I only have 3 points I've an SP50 dated 31/08/2011 so should expire next summer. 3 points! Now the confusing bit. When I brought my car, it had private plates on it. The previous owner de-registered the plates with out telling me and it took them 4 months to get the V5 to me. During that time I set off a speed camera in Dorset. I didn't hear anything from the DVLA for a while so thought I'd avoided it. Then I was driving down the A23 into Brighton and as soon as I got in to Brighton I was pulled over by an undercover cop as my license plate had a red flag against it. There was a speeding ticket from Dorset against my plate but as it was de-registered they didn't know how to send it to. I admitted it was me in Dorset and still had some of the paper work form the car sale with me, to prove my story. I gave my details to the police who told me I needed to request a V5 myself via a V62, but they would update my details on the system and I would get a fine via the post. Fast forward 9 months and I've not received anything, so as far as I'm aware it wasn't added to my license. What do I tell the insurance company? 3 points or 6 points?

Wondered why there was spitfire following me home yesterday!

Space it like this? Ask Ian if he has ever had any issues.

I just accept them then mark them as an acquaintance. Once marked you never see there their stuff in your stream unless they have a baby or get married or something like that.

Had my clutch, flywheel and slave cylinder replaced earlier in the year by Japex so presume the clutch fluid doesn't need replacing? Thats what I was planing but want to make sure I've got everything covered.

My car is a 2004 GT, brought last year with 67k on the clock. Its has a stamp to show its been serviced every year and was serviced last Sept. However I don't know what has been done. The stamp just states 32 point service. The company who serviced it say they tailor the service for the specific manufacturer/model service plan and they are not an independent So question is what should I get done, I feel like I should clean slate it. I've changed the air filter and recently had an over heat that need about 3 litres of coolant to be replaced so I was going to ignore those parts but so far my list is: Engine oil filter and oil change Brake fluid change Spark plug change Gear box and dif oil change Belt change (presuming both Aux belts ???) I know a few of you will tell me to get my hands dirty but, I don't have a drive or garage so have to work by the side of the road. I also very much a 2 steps forward 1 step back kind of guy, so something will go wrong!

That was clutch, flywheel and slave + labour. Guaranteed for a year. A cheap exedy clutch will set you back £300. If you clutch is going it's a good idea to change the flywheel as well as it'll save you paying for the labour twice.

I'm in Brighton and I've used Japex (Kings Langley) new clutch flywheel and slave was around. £900. Ive also heard good things about super 7 Worthing and Owens garage in Haywards heath. There's always the Z-Shed in Bournemouth.

It was early, I was on my phone

ASAD sells them on this forum or there are plenty on eBay. http://www.350z-uk.c...essories-sales/

Needs a black roof, wing mirrors and door handles. Just like mine.

If you buy me a copy of photoshop in do it for you . Was trying to get a naughty version last week, but couldn't find a download that worked

1. Pull up plastic side trim, held in by a few clips 2.Pull up rubber seal from around the bottom of the door frame 3. Unclip side wall trim - there are 2 clips they are a bit stiff, but I think there is a release inside the clip. I pushed a screwdriver inside and then levered them off against the car. The metal is covered by the door seal so its not going to do any viable damage if the screwdriver marks the car. 4. Undo the first screw you see, there are 2 screws in this general area you want the one nearest you (on the right). 5. Last screw is on the underside of the trim, sort of in line with the accelerator but facing you. There is anouther screw in the general area but its facing downwards (leave this one). I had already removed the screw in this photo, but its the hole center top. 6. Then pull! I think there are three main clips. Note, when i tried to clip the trim back in it didn't go first time, this is because the bonnet release wire had dropped under the L-shaped metal bracket that the second screw goes into. I just moved it on top and everything went back together easily. 10 minute job.

Just fixed fit 10 minute job. No need for super glue! Exactly the same as the US version. I took some photos and will upload them later. thanks

I'll never touch the ESP button, so once I get it back in It'll stay in as long as nothings broken. Maybe take a bit of glue with me when I take the dash off. Anyone have a guide on the lower dash removal? I can see one screw.

Yes, but its been pushed right in! Previous owner must have been having a bit of fun! Next job is to take off the lower dash then.
