    HFC degradation

    Thanks for the info. I've tried clearing the code but the eml comes back on after a few miles. I don't think the gaskets are blowing but that's certainly worth checking. The strange thing is the car was mot'd in May and passed the emissions test without a problem, so somethings gone wrong pretty quickly.

    HFC degradation

    I fitted Cobra HFC's just over 3 years ago and I've just been told by my local Nissan dealership that they have degraded and are responsible for the EML that's recently appeared. In 3 years I have done approx 15k miles and the car has been dealer serviced every year so it seems somewhat soon for the cats to break down. Has anybody else experienced similar problems?
  3. Need to replace the top 02 sensor, passenger side on my 370. Has anybody previously done this and how easy/difficult was it?
  4. I'm looking to buy a waterproof half cover for my 370z coupe from Classic Additions. I don't have a garage so the car is obviously outside all year round (secure driveway). My biggest problem is the inside of the back window icing over during frosty nights and I want to stop this happening. Does anyone have any experience of the C.A. half covers.
  5. Thanks guys, Looks like a Cobra system is next on the shopping list then. Taff
  6. Will a remap get the emissions to a level that will get the car through the MOT, mine blew out due to CO2 off the scale. Taff
  7. Hi Zugara, Do you still have the spare wheel, will it fit 19" rims, if it will I will buy it. Cheers Taff
  8. That is true Sargara, but I can only speak from personal experience which was of their Nottingham dealership. It would be interesting to know if the poor aftersales service relates solely to one of their dealerships or whether or not it permeates throughout the whole company. There is obviously a problem which they need to take on board & rectify or eventually it will catch them out. I wonder if customers whom have bought other makes of car from them have also had bad experiences.
  9. I bought my 2010 370z from Junction 17 back in February & I had no problems with them whatsoever. The car has performed well & proved itself to be reliable on a 3,000 mile trip around France & Germany during June & July. I had a problem with the cover over the dashboard storage pod & they paid for a replacement without question. I don't know whether or not the complaints about Junction 17 were in relation to Nottingham or Peterborough, but my experience with Nottingham was only ever positive.
  10. Hi Rich, if you can accept a delivered price of £300 I will buy the cats off you. Cheers.
  11. Hi Rich, what's the claimed power increase for the HFC's & will they still allow the car to pass the M.O.T., also, does the engine need remapping after they're fitted. Cheers

    Thanks everyone. I think I'll give the Bosch Aero flats a go.

    Apologies if this has already been asked or answered, but can someone please recommend the best replacement wipers, front & rear. Thanks in advance.

    which tyres?

    For 36 of the 41 years of my working life I worked for 2 large American Automotive Engineering Companies & for 23 of those 36 years I worked in the Purchasing Depts buying raw materials & components which ended up being supplied to most of the motor manufacturers in Europe as safety critical products. The classification safety critical meant that the engineering specification was set to an extremely high level & the purchasing people had to liaise very closely with engineering, quality control & logistics, both in our own company & also at the customer in order to ensure that all safety critical parts were supplied to the exact specification with no room for error, after all not being melodramatic about it, the failure of a safety critical part could end up with somebody being killed. Although I didn't purchase tyres they would also carry the safety critical classification & be subject to extremely rigorous test procedures covering everything that a tyre will be subjected to during its working life & like yourself I believe that there are far more critical reasons to buying a tyre than whether it looked good or not. Cheers.
