  1. just because... heres a pic of her : on a side note, how do i tell if its a genuine nismo bumper? it seems to be fiberglass mix with something.
  2. the stick is rather crap and the more i diped it the more it showed so i took to checking it in the morning when the car had sat 9 hours or so . i started off with a 1L bottle it drunk that ( back to full) a week later and 200 Miles i checked again so i bought a 4.75L bottle and had to keep topping up ( if i go over 4/5K rpm thats when it seems to really effect it.
  3. they did to comp test 180 and 190 retrospectively, they also said that the bores are in good nick, they did note that oil was siting on C6 and suspect sparkplug gasket is leaking. They also say the engine note was strange. with that in mind i dont think it would be leaking 4L worth? on a side note iv only run the car on momentum 99 but for the last 90K who knows. the manual clearly states 98 and if 95 is used dont go over 5k rpm ( i think from the top of my head) and only do a half a tank. it is interesting about no reports of the gt4 using oil.
  4. Oh god, it's not them is it?!? NOOOOO!!!!! every ones knows about him has any here had any dealings with them and had a good out come?
  5. me saying it uses oil inst enough, abbey haven't said in so many words it has either just that i say it had and it falls in line with a common fault. its a pain, i know its going to be i shall not give in easily though.
  6. thank you, it does confirm to me that he is well known in the community and not for good reasons.
  7. TS just said aload of spill to me, basicaly confirmed that i need them to accept there is a fault before i refuse the car or i have to have a alternative dispute team deal / take it to court. that a side how does one prove the oil use with out saying take it for a drive for 200 miles.
  8. ok, il double check with trading standards on the situation because i thought they have to 1 agree to take it back or 2 prove there is a fault.
  9. you cant just return it with out proving it has a fault annoyingly. getting them to accept it has a fault then i can get my money back and my PX if its still there. it does have an mot now this was what i saw with them trying to get it through one But it does have a provable fault: It used over 4 litres of oil in under 1000mi, which isn't even close to being within the Nissan spec. Doc's right, I would get it back to them with a final letter and request a refund or else go to court. And I would follow through with that threat as well: It's easy enough to do, and they're not going to challenge it I promise. But i do need to let them look at it first correct?
  10. nope no longer on - it was sorted before i picked it up but i saw that it had failed on initially you say that i had a celica that was burning oil to the point it was actually sitting in the end tip and it passed the test with no issues.

  12. i know... was thinking with my heart not my head and now im in this hole.;( And your in it now so hindsight is sadly nothing more than a wonderful thing. Dude you're going to need to invest a little bit of money (which you'll probably lose) to get this sorted. Get a solicitor to give you some advice and to write you a letter. Obvs you can do this yourself but I'm thinking your concerned by their 'legal team' (seriously how bad is your garage to have a legal team!!) so show them you mean business and clout them with the same thing. Dan will probs disagree as he knows pretty much for certain what you are and aren't entitled to and how cheaply you can realistically do it. For me id want some reassurance from a legal bod. This is 10 grand we're talking about at the end of the day. It's not buttons. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk I hear you, i guess i should let them give me there diagnosis before i look at getting some one else involved. e.g wait for them to accept it has a problem ( i doubt they will) or 2 they say it has no problem. i keep saying to them are they returnign the car when done ect and get nothgn back its reallyyy annoying,. the one thing i dont want to do is pay for legal and then have to pay for a rebuild. Im selling my house and thats why i bought the 350 in the first place but i didn't intend to spend the equity (20k) on rebuilding the car and purchasing it i purchased on credit card to protect my self and i do need to buy another house after the break up with the mrs is over.. grrrrr
  13. i know... was thinking with my heart not my head and now im in this hole.;(
  14. Utter, utter bobbins. That's exactly what a fuel filter prevents! That's an outright lie, plain and simple. I did try and cancel the transation right there but they said nothign was wring with the car. ps it had failed the mot on the engine light being on and the airbag light. but i understand the air bag light is a common issue.
  15. trouble is iv offered this they basically say they dont have to just take it back with out inspecting it. i am half inclined to just drop the lump out remove the rods and pistons and give to abbey to professionally say they are dead, then get them to rebuild it. i can do it my self but really dont see why i should it wasnt a £1000 car other wise id just sort it my self. This is what we're saying if it gets back to them then they've either got to fix it or give you the money back. Until it gets back to them your fooked and from the sounds of it they're not making any great efforts to get it back. Your call bud but I wouldn't be getting abbey to do anything unless you're going to wipe your mouth of it and just pay to get it sorted. Trying to claim rebuild money from them will be impossible Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk I just had an email from them to say the truck should be repaired on Wednesday and will contact about the collection when it is, they will need the car for a week to do tests. Iv on purposely left the tank empty... just the way they gave it to me. also I am getting multiple engine miss fires (p300) coming up occasional. this happened literly as i bought the car and went to drive away they said it was because of the low fuel level and running the crap from the bottom of the tank and to put some fuel in and injector cleaner so i did and it did clear up but has come back Mate do everything you can to have that car rejected. The chances of S2k4u and Tonto doing a pucker repair are zilch if it needs a rebuild and from the sounds of it you've got a very sickly engine Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk im trying , although they have there law team dealing with me (law data) ? i dont have the funds to get some one in the know to help me out so im relying on the internet to help me fight my case give advise.
  16. im just down the road so thats a possibility. although these things always make me feel awkward not knowing any one lol

  19. ok I will do that, because i have had the car just over 30 days now it shouldnt be an issue because in emails sent (according to trading standards that is enough proof to say that i do decline it) I will re literate it in a letter. I am happy to keep the car if it was repaired but the reputation of the sales man is not good.
  20. Ricey@revolveautomotive I presume you have heard all about them then? so you know the pain im about to entail
  21. ye i know i need them to see it for them selfs and have stated that , all in writing, also have in writing they will collect il give them till the end of the week and at the same time im going to send a letter recorded delivery stating i give them 14 days to inspect and repair or should i not do that?
  22. BCX Basicaly Trading standards said that because im rejecting it and not local, i could do more damage and then it would be reasonable for me to correct the damage, so they should collect it. I offered to uship it to them for £100 and they just kept saying they will collect it. 1st choice cars in oxford direction.... google em and s2ki and sean and you will find out who im dealing with,, it dont look great. As in s20004u? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk you got it

  24. i did speak with trading standards and they did say it was reasonable to expect them to colelct it and they have said they will but things keep happenning like the clutch on the truck went now it has a flat wheel ... so on and so on. iv done 1000 miles and its had 4.2L of oil. no smoke , abbey explained the cats are really good it hiding that. indeed i dont want to pay to strip it down when it cost me 9.4K Iv tried rejecting it ( i did px my old car) so just taking it and leaving it is an issue. I have monitored the usage in excel i now have left it on my drive with no fuel waiting for them to pick it up or the CC to do something about it under section 75 of consumer goods act because its not durable amongst a bunch of other things trading standards said from my description.,
