Moved up in October from Swansea. Enjoying so far despite lockdown!

Morning, spotted about 8:30 along Hotwell's road this morning while walking the pooch. Sounded great but didn't get the plate. Would love to know what exhaust that was as its just the kind of noise i'm after

Cheers for the responses guys, will make me sleep a little easier knowing that they will come off!

Awesome, gonna dig out the socket set and get a breaker from somewhere !

Thread revival.... The tops of my locking wheel nuts have disappeared.... On both rears. As per thread, seems the spacer threads are too long for the nut. Front are fine but I'll be changing them for normal nuts. I've not tried to have a go at anything yet so I came here for some advice first as I'm not sure I have the same issue as @Stuggerz Only noticed as MOT guy pointed it out. Reckon a tyre place could get these off? Or me hammering a socket on etc?

Currently on s7 of the office US. Wasn't keen on an American remake of a classic (in my opinion) but its brilliant. Also now watching the Fall. Would recommend both

What MOT has it missed, history shows its had one every year back to 2011. (as far as i can see online via gov.uk) Can you share any info on it standing around for 18 months? Has it been with a dealer? Perhaps someone garaged it? Id check that the advisories have been properly sorted from the last MOT and ask for scans of the service history. Have you been able to see the car? I would not purchase a car via click and collect and photos. You can tell so much from these cars by test driving them, listening to the engine. The inside looks a bit grubby and well worn, could use that to knock the price down also Personally i do not recommend buying one without test driving, having access to all the service history and being able to check the car thoroughly against the various buyers watch-outs for a 350Z Best of luck Mike

His advert says he's decided to keep it but he's paid for the ad until the car sells so he's just put it as a place saver it seems

Love a freebie

Man your attention to detail is amazing. I think you could so wonders with my car

this is awesome. Do you have a date in mind for completion?

Thanks for the offer, I ordered a cheapy ebay one which should be here early this week so if that turns out to be crap I'll drop you a PM to purchase

Saw this on Twitter

Good luck. I switched from fags to a vape around a a year and a half ago. Now I need to ween off the vape

I don't think it was directed at you. The comment was edited by msitpro so probably something added was irrelevant

Thanks Paul, just updated the original post

Only from what I've read on here, type J17 into the search and there's a thread

J17... Bad rep from what I've read Prices seem to have gone up recently, maybe due to lockdown etc but those examples seem high priced to me.

was just about to say was that Humpy's car, beat me to it Paul (although 4 hours ahead haha)

Hi all After a stubby for a 350z if anyone has one they no longer want. Failing that anyone have a LINK for one they know works, plenty on eBay but not sure of the quality. The ones on torqen and tarmaxc look too long Cheers Mike

Hammond looks a bit Vorderman haha

My budget isn't that great a bigger house and a mini me is on the agenda for the end of the year. Was looking to spend 8k max (also dependant on what I could potentially get for the Z - 2006 rev up, FSH, 76k on the clock, clean and relatively unmolested model). Back to the point, I love the colour so it would have to be viper green if I did switch. Diesel for the mileage and the 2.0 TDI. I've read they can be mapped to mid 200's for relatively low cost including a new exhaust. Seems a 2011-2012 model is around my ball park but much prefer the looks of a Scirocco to a golf. As I say though, it's just me being bored in lockdown currently but it has tickled my interest. Thanks for your feedback and always welcome more and alternative suggestions

Afternoon all Just wanted to see if any forum members have owned / do own a VW Scirocco? I've not made any decision yet on the possibility of selling the Z but just enquiring out of interest. The Z hardly gets used and I don't have storage for it so toying with the idea of moving it on to someone who may get more use out of it. There's also the possibility of an additional 360 miles a week commute in the not so distant future. A VW Scirocco has caught my eye in Viper green, a 2.0 TDI (170) so just after some impressions of the car overall. Not going to be able to test drive it until March so it seems and I've found this forum to give excellent opinion *The pic is just one ive plucked off google search Cheers Mike

There'll be plenty coming up for sale in spring/summer. Typically best time to sell a convertible. You'll get what you want I'm.in no doubt.

Put your reg into opie, they usually list the required grades
