  1. Sounds like pulley / alternator whine to me, possibly power steering. Have you checked it with the bonnet open to narrow it down better?
  2. I thought that was the panel that had interior sensors in just in case someone breaks a window?
  3. What is the point of the extra pulley if people are going to just remove it & fit a shorter belt?
  4. Chances are your bluetooth isn't compatible with the system in your car.
  5. Is this the original kit from 2005? Unless you or someone else changed the clutch on a like for like basis, or abused it for it to wear early, I can't see how it's the fault of LUK. We do a lot of their kits at work & never have any comebacks. I had the clutch done in my sisters Golf over xmas, symptoms were it felt like a misfire at idle, lumpy, but it ran fine. It turned out the DMF had gone out of balance. New LUK kit was fitted & it's been spot on. How old is the kit?

    PCV valve.

    This question could be answered by Torqen - PCV valve, is yours a genuine Nissan part? If so, is this for the driver or passenger side, or are they both the same? Can these be cleaned with brake cleaner? I don't seem to be having any issues that I know of, but it's coming upto oil change time & was wondering how long the life of these are & whether it's worth replacing it as preventative maintenance?
  7. Seen this some weeks ago, again today around 4.15pm, flashed the headlights & got the thumbs up from the other driver
  8. Glad you've sorted it & it's nothing major. My sensor got stuck in the summer, I had to disconnect the battery for 20 mins to reset everything, it's been fine since. As I say, I'm not far from you if you ever need the ECU's scanning if you have a light on.
  9. I'm available Saturday sometime if that helps, earlier the better though. PM me.
  10. I've got Nissan Datascan if that helps, I'm only 20 mins from Cheadle.
  11. Do you mean the EML / engine management light?
  12. Many people doubt the use of colour charged waxes & whether they actually add anything at all. I used Orange Crush on my last car, yellow 406 Coupe & loved the finish it gave. Sharp, crisp & super smooth.
  13. Considering some Z'z have xenons, to me they still look very halogen in appearance, nothing like the crisp white light you get from modern day bulbs.
  14. I've tried an SGS2, SGS4 & my current Moto G4 & neither will stay connected to the module. Apparently the module has bluetooth stack 3 in it, newer phones are stack 4 according to the reply I got from Bury.
  15. I also had the P1147 on Sunday. I'm going to check the obvious first (see my topic below this one). Failing that I'll probably just put a Blue Print sensor on it. IIRC it's the blue connector. Buy a decent brand one, not some cheap & nasty thing off ebay or ECP.

    EML & P1147

    No Jay, standard cats with an Ark Grip cat back.

    EML & P1147

    Setting off from the lights today & the EML came on. Car was fully upto temperature. Read it with the ELM327 with the above code, cleared it & carried on. It hasn't come back on yet. I've read a number of topics on here that suggest replacing the sensor. I'm firstly going to check the connector & wiring to check all that is ok, then make sure I've got no vac leaks after the MAF. I don't I do have as no work has been done sonce an oil change in October. I'm right in saying, correct me if I'm wrong, it's the drivers side, after the car, the one that clips to the underside of the gearbox? Blue connector I think? Thanks
  18. This was parked on Crouchley Lane in Lymm, Cheshire this morning. Was a 57/07 with Rays alloys. Front bumper seemed to be that from a silver car?

    SGS rear struts.

    Thanks for the info. Just to clarify, mine doesn't have the Nismo spoiler, just the standard lip one. I don't want to make hard work of closing the boot than necessary, if you know what I mean.
  20. During this winter mine don't seem to be holding the bootlid up unless you hold it in position fully & slowly let go. I have the standard lip spoiler on, but just wondered if it was worth going for the ones for the Nismo spoiler for extra lift?
  21. Another for Dr. Leather wipes, I then nourish them with Juicy Details cream & buff off any excess once it's been absorbed.

    Exhaust upgrade

    Or even given your budget, look for a used one on ebay..

    Exhaust upgrade

    As above, what's your budget? Plenty of systems on ebay at the bottom end of your budget, they may not sound the best from what you see on YT. Mine has an Ark Grip on it & I love the thing..
  24. All I read was praise for Mishimoto stuff when I first joined the forum. I had 1 failed cooling fan so bought the twin fan Mishimoto kit which, so far has been spot on. But then again, they probably don't make the fans, just put their name on them, the shroud is just a piece of aluminium so you can't go wrong there too. But I didn't pay for it, the warranty company did.
  25. Holding both buttons on the fob will activate the unlocking of both doors with one press of the fob. Holding both of them again will put it back to factory settings, only the drivers door unlocks. Pretty sure it's a safety thing so nobody can jump into the passenger seat? Would be nicer if the doors would automatically lock when you start to drive off.
