  1. Nissan Will lend every customer an ICE for 14 days of each year, so an occassional holiday - SORTED! So not bias at all then oi you! haha I'm not sure you can compare an R32 or a VXR of any kind with a Leaf. I wouldnt say Bias no. I woud say ifg they were @*!#. no need to lie on here but when it comes to the other guys racing down the road and having to put £20 petrol in their car and theres me just poping home and spending about £1 on electric, i do laugh. Depends what you want from an electric car in many ways. Theres alot of proof that the Nissan Leaf is one of the best for the buck And when you consider the boys in their vxr or r33 wont loose a penny on depreciation it probably levels it all out. I will say, they have their place though and they suit a particular requirement, if your driving meets those requirements i see no downsides, but to me, i couldnt find one upside. One thing never really mentioned because they are relatively new, what will the costs be when they start going wrong. Delight of a PCP- give the car back at the end. money you have saved on fuel, pays for the difference. There are simple calculations to work out the money savings.

One thing never really mentioned because they are relatively new, what will the costs be when they start going wrong. There are plenty of example of this not being a problem. Taxi companies with 7 electric cars. saves them 24k a year on costs compared to their old ice cars. all vehicle above the 100k mile mark and battery state still above 96%. the trouble is people are still scared! the depreciation side of things will still happen to the best of cars. at the end of the day im enjoying the extra £80 in my pocket. i enjoy the car. its all self opinion and lack of knowledge that people have these 'Fears'

  3. I own the LEAF. Love it. I save roughly £80 a month on fuel. I beat kmost of the guys here at work in their VRX zafira, R32 Golf. I have the tekna. comfortable. I have heated seats all round. I can turn my heating on with a touch of a botton on my mobile. Excellent second car. I also sell them so speak with me and il sort you out a deal.
  4. Hi. Does anyone run this. Anyone know who supplies these and reviews? Cheers
  5. Hi guys. Sorry for asking such a 'Tacky' question. I'd normally hate these. Can anyone recommend me a fix? I have jr11 wheels. Look great but they have the rim that sticks out further than the tyre. A great look but after taking the car out today I come home to some stone chips on the outer edge. Aarrrggggghhhhh. Help me!! What have other people done? Are there such thing as a decent rim protection? Where can I get some decent? Cheers

    If you have no luck, I will have a mirror finished one for sale.
  7. Received and fitted this morning. Thanks Torqen. Had fun setting it up with it not quite working. Went and put my foot down in sport mode and lost all power over 3k revs. But think iv followed the instructions correctly second time round and think it works. I'm sure I can feel a difference between economic and sports. If u can help with the above let me know but hopefully I'm there. And I will enjoy. X
  8. Today I spent 15 mins. Fitting my new toy. The D1 Spec GT Throttle Controller. Had trouble with the setting the first time round. Thought I'd set up correctly. Went down the road. Put foot to the floor. Bammm Eps lights came on and couldnt rev over 3k revs.?? Scary glad I wasn't over taking. Anyway after a bit of a reset I think it's working. Here's some pics of it.
  9. Il have the interior bit and inserts for badge pls
  10. I dont know about a career change but this sound perfect right now with this shitty weather!!!
  11. If u go for the 1.6dCi ul love it. It's a great car. Very reliable. Very comfortable. Only question to ask is, have all the recalls been done if the new sat Nav age. I'd have it over the Mazda any day. Iv driven the qashqai a lot. Very nice. Plus economical. Only £30 to tax. 55 plus mpg. Whatcar says it all. It the winner out of the two. I agree that it has to be the 1.6dCi over the 1.5 though. Unless power isn't an issue. But being on here, that would be a silly comment surely. Haha

  16. AHHH got it! If you look at the picture u uploaded of another engine bay, it has turbo on it!
  17. ??? Is it anything to do with yours being a JDM? I havent got this on mine!
  18. Spats I got made through a guy that worked for nissan making them. But don't think he no longer does it. Tarmac sell them tho. The carbon Diffuser was from America. But at a good price. If not again tarmac sells them in black. Tarmac is your man on this one I think.
  19. It's te standard OEM one mate. Iv just added spats and a carbon Diffuser. U like then?
  20. As I said. Amateur. Lol. Slam panel being replaced. Be up for sale soon. But clean obviously. U didn't mention the shampoo everywhere though.
