  1. I thought the general trend was for insurance to be higher this year than last? My last renewal with AF was ~£50 more expensive, but I added £1k onto the guaranteed value.
  2. Probably worth dropping a PM to Mark@Abbey. He'll be able to confirm for sure.
  3. There are BT compatibility issues with the 350z not sure about the 370z though.
  4. Ignore me - didn't realise this was 370 related
  5. yep - 6 months up front - I've just done that with a new tenant - situation is - couple just moving in, his ex-partner ran up credit bills and left them with him - he's paying them off under an agreed payment scheme - but that makes his credit score low I was just going to mention this, you can get around the guarantor requirement by paying 6 months+ upfront. Obviously given the situation you'd have to loan this to her and work out a repayment plan with her, but it would get round you having your name associated to the flat. My old house mate just moved to London and had to pay 6 months rent up front - 1 bed flat in Camden, total required to move in £14k upfront....
  6. Autotrader puts the stock value at £4.5k (private) or 5.9k (Dealer). So, that's a good baseline. You have to decide if the mods and relative peace of mind (you should get form buying from a member) worth the extra?
  7. Mighty car mods Jalopnik TheHoonigans
  8. So I couldn't resist. No Odb2 codes Brake lights work but.... If I just top this up with the dot 4 I've got coming tomorrow would that be an issue? No idea whats in there at the moment, but presumed as its such a small amount it would be an issue. I'll be booking it in for a full change ASAP, but imagine it'll probably be done next week some time. Also, whats that smaller bottle to the top of the image? Its on max, possibly even slightly over.
  9. No, I can't park by my house and i don't drive daily. I've ordered the brake fluid as it needs to be changed anyway, so will check it out at the weekend if I don't get round to it after work. The tap only happens when I turn the engine on and got less sever the closer to home i got. I turned the car off and on at each set of traffic lights. My thinking is that as the brake fluid gets warmer it takes it more volume, so low fluid becomes less of an issue. I'll be getting a OB2 code when I'm next at the car.
  10. How much fluid do I need if I'm just replacing not flushing? Found the answer 1 liter...
  11. Cheers, at least they are both easy things to check. Don't think its my switch due to the tap I'm getting from the brake pedal.
  12. My ESP, TCS and ABS lights are coming on and staying on. Re-starting the car turns them off but they come on again shortly Found this thread with pretty much the same problem. http://www.350z-uk.c...-esp-lights-on/ Only difference is when I turn the car on I can feel a tap through the brake pedal. Would this be caused by low brake fluid? It is due a brake fluid change anyway. I did a reasonably heavy break from ~20mph on an empty road and the brakes felt fine. My cars parked 5 minutes away and its raining, so I'm trying to trouble shoot now and then I'll check the level next I'm out there. Is this correct for brake fluids? Dot 3 or above but Motul RBF 600/660 is recommended and I need 2 liters for a flush and refill Do i need a flush? thanks
  13. Hey we've all got to start somewhere
  14. What was the little bottle of glue for (I know it sounds like an obvious question/answer but the rim tape already has adhesive on it)? Mine came with a little bottle of glue with a brush in the lid. Haven't put mine on yet as i'm due a wheel refurb soon. I found the wipes and glue bottle the other day, took me 1/2 an hour to remember what 'project' they came with. The glues dried up now
  15. I'd say you can also make a car more sensitive by wearing heavier shoes.
  16. They can crop up anywhere.... Technically its 360 video, but its pretty amazing video to watch in a VR headset.... ~3:05
  17. Someone put an off in for my sister house of £xxx,xxx.72p We were laughing at the cheek of it so much we walked off and lost one of her kids for 10 minutes. General consensus was they were probably trying to insinuate they were down to their last few pence. Didn't work...
  18. Couldn't you get the same results by wearing heavier shoes?
  19. The re-map can add different modes like - valet/economy or add pops and bangs to you exhaust (if your into that kind of thing). But as others have said better off to spend some money on engine/air flow mods first then get a remap latter.
  20. It's the metal part of the door just below the seal I think As abve it's either hard rubber or plastic, so clay bar or magic sponge will remove it; you just need something abrasive to lift it. So before I do something stupid, when you say a magic sponge do you mean this? https://www.amazon.c...oval/B003QITQC6 I'll have a go with a clay bar first and see how it fares. Thanks for your help guys. I've got some of them in my house always wondered what they were, they just disintegrate when ever I've tried to use them on the dishes as for magic sponges, this is the only one i'm aware off.
  21. I've got an agreed value policy with Adrain Flux only cost me ~£50 to add the agreed value
  22. I think somthing like this is good, on the front or back of a hoodie, simple design, I'd have one On the back it should say "I've got a stubby"
  23. Doesn't it hold the hands free microphones?
