Helped a customer to there car, then took a few pictures, the lady I was helping said 'is that going to be on you Christmas list?' I replied 'no, I already have one!' She did not look convinced.

Sister text me to make sure it was not me.. supposedly spun off and hit a lamp post, not sure if it was anyone on here, hope all involved are ok.

Have reset and no EML has appeared yet
-
Firstly oil ~ park the car on a flat level surface & check the level when cold. Ideally it should be at the top mark, top it up if necessary.
The EML light being on will give you a code to read that should show you an error code relating to why the EML has come on.
List of fault codes: http://www.350z-uk.c...t-codes-in-pdf/
Easiest way to read the codes is to buy an OBII code reader (around £20+ on eBay) or ask (pay) a garage to read the codes or do the ECU reset procedure from the service manual which can flash the codes at you via the EML blinking in sequence although this is probably the most awkward way of reading the codes especially if there are a few on there.
Codes though can be stored on the ECU for awhile unless wiped clean with the an "ECU reset" so it's best to clear them first, then drive the car & when the EML comes back on you should have the correct code relating to the most recent problem & not an old code that just happens to be on there.

As for the vibration/loud whirring imo it sounds like a wheel bearing issue if you ask me.
Just read my fault code as 1147 which is the Heated O2 Sensor 2, going to reset and see is it is completely nakered or not!

Hello and !
-
Wheel bearing is an easy job, especially at the front. Drive down a straight road and turn the car left to right, if the car only makes a 'whiring' noise on one side then pretty much is the bearing.
And stop wasting money on rubbish local garages, the wheel isn't going to fall off so if you have the cash drive to Horsham and leave it there (Probably not the cheapest option).
This is another silly question but as I am getting the vibration mainly when turning right, am I right in thinking its the left side causing the problem? (i.e weight distribution to the left is what I am thinking..........)
-
The reason for new wheel bearings is to hopefully rid the vibration/humming at speed and whilst cornering. If I get that sorted I will then feel more comfortable travelling to a specialist to solve the knocking noise.
-
Drop links were done about 6 months ago, just before I got the car. I will look into the other possibilities
-
Wheel bearings were my first thought for the vibration issue, Will purchase some front wheel bearings and attempt to fit them myself!
I have tried many tests to locate the knocking noise but I cannot pin point it.
-
I have posted before about needing a local service centre, but was recommended to go to Horsham which is about an hour and a bit away from me... Lets just say the drive would be incredibly un-comfortable and maybe dangerous...!?
I have had a knocking noise, from the front I believe.. it is identical to this noise:
Went to my local garage after a week of driving, came back with a £300 bill and all the noise was still there, they wanted to replace the rear shocks too, when the sound it clearly from the front. I quote, they 'had never had one of these car's in before'.
Left it a little while, the noise in really annoying but does not effect handling. (that I know of)
Then around a month ago I developed a vibration along with a loud whirring noise. It is especially bad once above 40mph and even worse when on a slight right hand bend. And nearly un-bearable at motorway speeds. (it is incredibly noisy!) I do have a dented alloy but again, that has been there since buying the car and never caused any vibration issues.
And now, Saturday just gone, my engine light is on, constantly. I panicked when I saw my oil pressure was about 20 upon idle, so ran out and got some oil. Was not sure if it was normal or not........
I am in the Fareham / Portsmouth area, if anyone can recommend me a local garage that will actually be able to tell me what is wrong with my Zed! If it is a simple enough job I would like to tackle it myself (I need to learn).
I am trying to avoid the garage I went to originally, but might have to pop down just for a diagnostic on my engine fault.
I am working 6 days a week and have no access to any other vehicle so I am finding it a real struggle to get time to sort my Zed out.

I want it
-
I do not have either, but I am so tempted by the Xbox One, Forza Horizon 2 looks amazing..

I had a silver zed pass me on the motorway heading home, gave me a friendly toot! Was it you by any chance?
-
I managed to get down there! No pictures though due to weather.

Brilliant, absolutely love it!

Hello and ! As I said in the PM, it is possible to get a 350 insured for a reasonable price at our age, I bought mine when I was 18 and paid off the insurance on my 19th birthday, at 8am in the morning, just so I could drive it to work!
I wish you the best of luck, have a go at doing a quote directly with Admiral on line
-
Does anyone have a picture of these on a zed? I have looked but to no avail...
-
I will have to look into this...
