sad times, shame you haven't got some other kind of sports car to cheer yourself up with. i always found ferraris made me feel better.

looks like its just ipswich GH which is populated by numpties then.

i'm 30 and my insurance renewal at the end of this month with 5 years NCB is £400 for a 4 litre SC V8 down £200 from last year now that i turned 30

a turd is still a turd how ever much you polish it, have you tried using your cleaning products on cars?

i'm classed as the pre 2001 bracket

1. I have to admit I haven't heard a Zed with an aftermarket exhaust IRL, but the Zed as stock has a beautiful note IMO. 2. I wasn't saying they aren't out there, but if I found one in comparable Zed condition and miles, it started to approach 5 figure territory Which I just didn't have. 3. But then I lose the OEM look of the Jag dash. A flashy Sony etc head unit wouldn't look that great in a Jag IMO. 4. Ref No. 2 5. I am not disputing it's worth good money if it's a great example, but my pocket just wasn't deep enough. I wouldn't say it's twice the car, though. Yes it has an extra 500/700cc, 20bhp and 2 more pots, the seats are like sitting in a palace and even your shopping gets to feel comfortable in the rear storage area/seats, but the Zed has more gadgets and easier to customize to your exact taste. 6. Yup, but his is one of those XK's that won't be for sale because they are so perfect. I have no doubt an XKR with it's extra 120 supercharged HP will @*!# all over a Zed, but I was after an 8, not an R, insurance would rip me a new one if I went with a 4.2 V8 400bhp monster! completly understand where you're both coming from, you're right about rust, i have a few areas to fix at some point, at the moment i'm making sure its mechanically perfect before i play with noise and looks etc. standard xhaust has 5 silencers in it which is great on long drives as its so quiet. as for gadgets my XKR has more than the zed, auto lights, auto wipers, auto dimming rear view and auto dimming wing mirrors. sat nav, handsfree, adaptive cruise. full electric memory seats. but you are right when it comes to running one. its not a jag if something isn't broken on it. but if your handy with a spanner then there is lots of 2nd hand parts, basically avoid jag dealerships unless its a part you need. hadit a year and spent about £200 on parts to fix things etc. its the old horses for course debate. as for parts there is a fair bit of fiddling to be done on the jag, but none of it cheap.

personally i'm not a glynn hopkin fan, dealt with their dealership before in Ipswich, i wouldn't trust their mechanics to find their own genitals in a sex exam. saw mechanics ragging cars in the car park. if you had to go main dealer the only one in the southeast i think is OK is marshalls. their cambridge one is a nissan performance centre, and see alot more than just micra's

you can wash a car as normal, you just can't use a hose pipe, so rinse with buckets

Works great on the tail pipes Pete my zed used to be blue but now its silver

i use them on the jag as i have 20" wheels, been more than happy with the falkens, and at that e options are limited. if i had the cash i'd put more expensive tyres on, but the pirellis that come as standard are just shy of £2k i paid alot less for the falkens put it that way, but they more than meet my needs. as has been said above, they are a mid range, and the lowest value of tye i'd stick on a car. but they haven't let me down yet. ultrac seesantas are worth a look, again another mid range, but i'd say a little better than the 452's Conti 5s are good, and from what i've heard PS3's are the mac daddy.

so this and aren't suitable for car washing then?

should be one in the boot but you can slip your arm under and take a photo. basically if it has tin metal shrouds round it, then they're stock. if you can see the body then its AM

strangly they've managed to make the badge even more hidious than the nissan badge which is a feat in itself with renewing the name will it revive the reliability issues that plagued the name so many years ago. i hope it works for them

have you tried jacking the car up and actually looking for yourself?

i always give the official 350Z owners salute; see below for instructions

done snetterton a few times, its one of my favourites

falkens, sessantas toyos, all suitable tyres, bridgestone re050s are good

just seen the pic of your car being tuned, looks hot

as long as it doesnt affect the current lights need for an MOT you'll be fine

Cheap Hydrogen Alternate Voltage lighting is also an alternative, again they can be found in similiar places

i have no issue with toll roads, but if they do bring it in, then they should reduce the RFL. I think the M6 toll is brilliant, bypass birmingham brilliantly, the only thing they forgot to build was the 30ft wall with barb wire on top.

engine will turn over but not start. had this on an MR2 list of possibles Air lock in fuel line block in fuel line dodgy fuel pump imoboliser spark issue coil pack issue admittedlythe last 2 should still start even on 5 cyclinders

i noticed that too

might be the imoberliser could be the key fob battery

yes, just use brighter LED's, but also mount an LED at either end. also sand the plastic to take it from clear to opaque
