  1. As some of you may be aware i've suffered the clicking axle problem to give you the short version:- it basically happened during warranty, but was only picked up 3 weeks outside of my warranty. i've emailed twice, phoned 6 times and written 1 letter to Nissan GB, but basically their final word on the matter was " you bought from a third party, it was serviced before i bought it by a third party so i'm not classed as a loyal nissan customer and therefore I'm not eligible for nissan good will gestures" well this has kind of wound me up as i'm fairly certain that the clicking axle problem is a fault at manufacture thats why they brought out the revised parts and they even know which factory the fault came from depending on if tits the bolts or the CV joint. well nissan in their last letter said if i'm not happy to take it up with the motor industry code of conduct (kind of like ofcom for the motor world) i've decided that i don't like being fobbed off and that it is there problem to fix. if it was a ware and tear issue i would understand and replace myself but this isn't. so i rang them up, and they said that if i could provide proof that it was a fault at manufacture they might be able to follow up on it and sort something out. so what i'm looking for is do we have any proof? can a nissan mechanic write a statement, provide a memo, something that would give me solid evidence of an issue at manufacture. also anyone else who might be suffering a similar problem to add names and we could send several in at the same time to kind of reinforce the fact that it should be done at nissan cost, not customer cost. vive la revolution!!! r at least a final conclusion to the issue as there is no where else to take it after this
  2. did it happen when it was raining or just after wet weather. if so then my guess is defo the ballast and igniters. seems to be when they play up.
  3. ouch thats alot of money for the dunlops, could have got 4 vredestein ultrac ssantas for £500. might be able to find another dunlop tyre which is similar. but to be honest same rubber all round should fix it. best bet for a cheap fix is the falken 452's they are a good midrange tyre and you'll only notice the difference if yor taking the car on track. might even be able to sell the rear dunlops on ebay to recoup some of your cash
  4. just been trawling a list of films and found the other answers

  6. are you sure you got into your own car i've done that once. used to delver pizzas in coventry, parked in aroad for a delivery came back and got in what i thought was my car, it was same model, same colour and door was unlocked like mine would be. but i sat inthere and thought, hmm it smell s different in here, and whos nicked my phone holder. why won't my key fit. then looked behind me to see my own car. very quietly got out and ran to my own car.
  7. the two towers any one got any more, am really struggling at 41 ones left is the 2 old gituar things 3 little girls something looks like maths stuff on the water tank the sign with 5280ft written on it 2 green flags with dad's written on them 3 c's on the wall 3 kung fu cheerleaders the man doubled over infront of them with a gun on the floor not sure what the last clue is

  12. Common???? Now now Jerry!!! Non of the above are common, they only happen really when you mod the car and are not common on an unmodded car!! Dont want to scare new or prospective owners!! OP, o2 Sensor may be where the problem is due to the clank and you have dislodged one of the sensors... Have you got hiflow cats? Also blinking light dosnt always mean a problem, its a warning, solid light is worse adnd shouldnt be driven... Where in the UK are you? If may be that someone in your area has an ODB reader and can pull up a code. There is a way to get the engine light to blink at you to tell you what the code is but that is a real pain in the hole to get it too read! i always thought it was the other way round, light comes on = warning if it turns to flashing = pull the heck over and stop. i know you know these cars really well so have i had it the wrong way round, its just all the times i hear of a light coming on its been for minimal issues, never really heard of the light flashing at anyone, which is kinda why i thought it was that way round
  13. sounds like you have dodgy something. my guess is your ballasts and igniters are on the way out. shame you just missed out as i order a batch for me and stew and got them at a great discount rate, but only cos i ordered in bulk. i got 3 for about £50 each, they are second hand, but should do the job. cheapest i've found them other than my bulk buy was about £75 each second hand. similar price for new ones but i believe the ones on ebay are a cheap chinese knock off, hence why stew and I went for original second hand ones from the states. cheapest UK i've found was from breakers at about £90 each. i doubt its the bulbs as they would just blow, but could be a wiring harness issue.
  14. just checked and it seems the one i have is for JDM number plates at the front. so if its a small square plate you have then its fine, but i think your looking for a uk one?
  15. i think i might have one in the garage, i have a nismo bumper which i am modifying, and so won't need it. as for price just leave me enough to cover the postage and buy a beer i'll just go and check first.
  16. lol, i'm trying to loose weight, hope it doesn't affect my boobs
