Thank you both for helpful advice, I will give Abbey a shout on Monday and arrange to get her down there.....There has been an issue for a while with the heating even before the radiator blew.....Previous owner put a cheap one on her so I have upgraded and also swapped the thermostat. I am hoping it is not the head but will get it checked as per your guidance....I'll let you know!

Hi all, I have had issues with the heating system for a while and swapped out the radiator and thermostat but is still running hot within a minute of starting up and not circulating properly. I am moving on and am guessing that it must be the head gasket which is blown.....does anybody have the parts for sale and can anyone advise is this a job I can manage or a garage visit?? WIth thanks in advance...

Lovely dark grey wrapped 350 turned into car park just opposite fire station in Purley....looking goooood!

Hi Stephanie, mine is also gun metal and lowered, had a good run into work yesterday but need a bit of attention.....engine warning light still on and a little dribble of oil I think but would need to get her up on ramps for a good look! Will keep an eye out for you!

Thank all for the welcome, especially Dracostan and jumping350 for the advice... Jumping350, I am Leatherhead so if you are close would appreciate hooking up to your datascan if able? Dracostan, will give Dan a shout and get some quotes...need to get the sound right as she is a bit high pitched at the mo for my taste! She is a head turner though, especially like the lowered look with great looking rims. She has a new pioeneer head unit which is in place of the original, does anyone have any good tips of what to put in place of the original sat nav screen....bit of a waste at present, not too much hardship keeping it but looking for ideas??

Sure it was you going up Kingston Road, will keep an eye out for you!

So I'm a real newbie here but have seen a gun metal 350 floating around Leatherhead, saw your car a couple of weeks back and was one of the many reasons I chose the Zed....if you are local there is now another floating around as I picked mine up today!

Hi all, thanks for letting me in to your forums......just got hold of my 350Z after a bit of back and forth from the seller. She sits on a '54 plate and has been tastefully lowered with low profiles. Had to get an oil leak seen to, turned out it was the crank seal but got a new sump out of them too! Also have the engine management light came on after about 40 mile test drive so they fitted a sports CAT on the front which sounds great.....sensor light has come on again today after an M25 run of about 45 miles....I have read a couple of threads and realise this may not be as straightforward so wondered if anyone local has any ideas and could maybe take a peek if you have knowledge? Looking to replace the rest of the exhaust soon so any recommendations gratefully received. I have a Landy too so have a basic grounding of mechanics (obs with a Landy!!) but appreciate the vast ammount of experience on here so look forward to any responses! Will be great to meet some of you, have admired these beasts for a long time and finally now have chance to cherish and get to know "Zelda" as my boy has christened her.....

To add to this thread....I am a cop and have just bought a zed.....bring it on!
