  1. Maybe this will help to tempt you....
  2. If you can be tempted to sell it for £50 incl delivery, I'll take it.
  3. Did you need to cut the tracks Jumbo? Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
  4. Out of interest, how much would you be looking at for a DE engine? Mine's fine but would like to know should that day arrive. Sorry to hear about your engine. Good luck getting the replacement fitted! Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
  5. I wouldn't advise drilling a hole in the car at all. You have to get this sorted before it starts to stink and ruin your carpet or worse. Remove the seat, carpet and as much trim as you can from the car. Get someone to sit in the car and then hose the car thoroughly. You may have to wait a while but look around for where the water is coming in. I'd also dry everything thoroughly and then lay news paper down so you can see where it's coming from. As it's behind that cross member it's unlikely to be coming in on the front bulk head. It's sitting there because it's the lowest point. Is it dry in the boot under the carpet where the spare wheel is? Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
  6. Considering doing this myself. Looks good although I'd want a way of charging the phone/iPod at the same time. How have people done this, just splice into the cigarette lighter port behind the seats?

  9. If the fluid is 5 years old, I'd be tempted to replace it and blead the system. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
  10. Any scratch remover or cutting compount should do it with a polishing pad. Post a pic, difficult to say... Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
  11. Hmmm that's the head unit I've been looking at I think. Is that the App Radio 3? Did you buy it new or second hand? What other stuff did you buy with it? I've read you need a seperate cable to connect Android phones with it. Did you have to buy another set of leads to put it in the 350 and for the steering wheel? I'm tempted by that head unit but I've read mixed reviews! Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
  12. Haha yea good thanks pal. I saw ages ago you guys sold your MR2. Glad to hear your both still together. You were in Wales before weren't you? Remember hooning down to London with you two and driving round France was mental :-) I used to live near Bournemouth years ago in Harwood. Yea, will have to hook up at a meet and catch up. Will have to check your 350 out. How are you guys getting on? Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
  13. Hi, Thanks all. To be honest I just didn't want to be spunking £500 to the DVLA every year, when I can have a very similar car for much less tax. Yep, got a stubby aerial on it now. Took delivery of it yesterday and fitted it before I washed it, seems great. Ahhaa yes indeed it it me! Still have the MR2. Are you Lisa's other half? I can remember a few Matt's from there but haven't been on there for a long time! Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
  14. Hi, Last bank holiday Monday I picked up my new 350Z. I've been reading here and looking for the right car for months. I looked at others who's online description wasn't what it seemed when I turned up to view it. I was after: Pre end of March 06 car (Cheaper tax band) Gun metal grey or Chilli Red GT Pack with BOSE, Rays, Heated electric seats Good condition interior/exterior Service History Under £8K I called a few 06 cars but was predictably told they were in the higher tax band. Eventually I called one and was told it was the cheaper tax band and was an 06 model.I called on the Saturday and found out it was 2-3 hours drive away in Derbyshire Regardless, I told the gent I'd come and view it on the Bank holiday Monday and he agreed to open up for me. I chanced it and booked a one way train ticket for me and the misses.... Whenever viewing a car I do an initial walk around and decide if its worth looking at further. It was gleaming and I didn't see anything immediately other than a couple of age related marks, and importantly, no spraying had been done. Upon further inspection I failed to find anything that would put me off, so I spent a couple of hours pouring over everything from the buyers guide. The car: 2006 model (early march so was cheaper tax band) Full Nissan Service History GT Pack Refurbished Rays ONE owner from new Lots of receipts and money spent (including over 1K for part exhaust replacement) Excellent exterior (few little marks) Spotless interior I started the car from cold and looked for any dodgy engine bay work (mods, rounded bolts, trim missing, etc) and checked for rattles, smoke, etc. Everything seemed perfect and the temperatures reflected normal. The salesman was a lovely chap and let me take it for a test drive with the misses on my own. The car was faultless, gearbox seemed good, engine pulled hard, no clutch slipping and all the interior features worked. I was very impressed. The only thing I noticed was the clicking from the rear axle which seems to be an easy fix for me (grease D/S splines). After a lot of haggling, I got it for £100 more than I wanted (£7,650) to, but he'd already dropped the price a lot. The deal was done and she drove back perfectly and I was BEAMING. I've driven it to work every day and in the evenings and found hardly anything wrong with it.The battery was naff so I bought a new Bosch one from Euro and fitted it. Here are some pictures: Current issues with it: No Bluetooth adapter. the cradle is there so I just need to buy the adapter now. Some age related marks (noticeably a scratch on the underside of the sill but you can't see it 2x medium sized spots on the roof where the paint has been chipped. This needs sorting so it doesn't rust! Slightly rough idle (you can only feel this when sat stationary and could just be a dirty MAF?) Slight juddering when pulling away from standing in first (again could eb a slightly dirty MAF) Other than that, she is perfect and I love it. Some questions: What Head unit would you recommend? I want one with Android connectivity and be able to plug it in to charge and play music, use the phone features. Preferably touch screen and double din. Those who have done the sports CAT, plenum spacer and re-map, would you say it is worth the money? I'd probably get the parts from Horsham, fit myself and get them to do the re map. Mirrors - there are 3 positions for the switch. Does one of them auto fold the mirrors when you turn the engine off? If not is this possible other than pushing the button each time to fold them in? Whens the next meet in the Southwest? I'm in Somerset!
  15. I was lucky to find a March 06 car in the cheaper tax band :-)
  16. Would you do the adapter for £50 posted? That may well be a cheeky offer but I'm basing that on the same items selling price on eBay. I'd like to have on for my newly acquired 350, but I may be upgrading the Head Unit soon which would give me that functionality anyway.... Thanks.
  17. Just called Halfords and they said they can't get batteries for the 350Z, or there aren't any listed.... Tried my reg on their website and it said the same. I'm sure they've got one that fits... Has anyone ordered one from Halfords? If so which one?
