Thanks mate what would I do without you all, so caring Spend it all on Lauren?

Loving the Merc, much better than the hairdresser 911!!!

Yep, that's right. I bascially had the very same problem with some corroding wheels - it happened in the warranty period but the dealer messed it up. See this link http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... losing+rag It will explain all and show you how I wrote to them and got it sorted. I would say write back raising your points in a similar way I did in my letter and explain why it is unacceptable that they should only pay 50%. Use every reference, this place, dealer service, the lot. Don't let them fob you off. Think of it as a 4 week job that you will earn whatever the pre tax amount of £3,300 is!!

+1 - unless you parked the car in a pond or have removed some trim then it must be down to design that the water got in.... Out of interest in that case, where is this circuit board, and how did the water get there??

The 4th to 6th crunching is a known warranty issue, and it sounds like there is a lack of ownership in someone looking after your problem. Write to NMGB explaining what has happened, and you will probably find it gets fixed under warranty. The fact you have reported it and the original place failed to find it is not your fault. If the place you are at have never fixed a gearbox, my advice would be to go to a dealer who has. As much as their service sucks, the mechanics at the Slough dealership have done a few and did mine very well IMO. It is now the best change in the box! But above all else, do not pay for it or admit any 'liability' until you get a final, written response from NMGB. The reply saying you have spoken to a lawyer.....!

Good luck with it, and if you get any chance please stitch up the estate agent. They deserve it. Be seeing you at Donny then as one of the stand girls??

Yeah, cos that's the reason you're getting it!!

You have got to be one brave guy to try that!!

your female , it dont work for us guy's I had a guy in an Audi A3 wave at me today, that was odd... Was it Sarnie???

Tell me it was the police car, some people have a real phobia about that Never messed with my numberplate either, however some I've seen you can't read at all. I think they should be more interested in people with one headlight! ... that's the more likely to cause a problem, yet I see countless amounts of people who don't know what bulb looks like! I have done that though, on the M25, at about 85. He was sat in the middle lane at 80, no lights on and not adhering to his guidelines when travelling on the motorway. He pulled me, I explained why I thought it was dangerous sitting with lots of people keep braking behind him so I went past. And that it was confusing he was breaking the speed limit with no lights or siren on..... Bit smart @rse but correct, he smiled and let me go! This one was him going the other way, stopped, turned around, then gunned it like mad to catch up with me. Two things about it, one I was in the Volvo, two I barely exceeded the speed limit which was why I overtook! One headlight, front foglights on, no lights early in the morning, brake lights out...... Any of it would be a start!!

Sorry, my post was misleading! No, my numberplate was fine, have never messed about with a number plate. This was for overtaking someone......

I read about this in the Metro on the way into town today, a national crackdown to prevent organised crime...... pulling people over! I got pulled over for the 15th time on Saturday morning and still no ticket or anything.....

+1 - sorry, but if something big did go wrong, especially engine-wise, you can bet NISSAN would reject or if very lucky only partially pay a claim +1 I had huge issues getting my alloys done for corrosion because the previous owner missed the first service. I would call NMGB before committing to buy the car to see where you stand. And get the decision in writing if you do go ahead......

You can never satisfy all of the people all of the time. On that basis the runs should be be for ZED's only, as much as I would love to see Sarnie and others in their what-have-you's who take an active interest in the club. Chesterfield is right, its a hard enough job organizing these things (I remember from the days of organizing 12 car rallies on public roads) and marshaling 30 or so cars of one type on the day alone is a difficult enough task in itself, without minding others of various descriptions. Come on Sarnie you have been going on for ages about getting another ZED, at this rate by the time you actually do it you'll be as old as me and have missed the opportunity Personally I'm up for events that involve some good driving experiences, not parking them up and see who's got the shinyiest. With the increasing interest in the club perhaps hiring/attending a circuit or similar for the day that allows all 350.com members to partake is the answer? Just a thought and I'll stop now as I'm going off topic - sorry Mods. If you are referring to Donny, then reading up on it would tell you that isn't what it is..... Yes there is a show and shine, but if the club gets 20+ cars we get Donington circuit to ourselves for a short while. To me the whole point of doing the show is for the members to help the club grow by showing the car (standard to heavily modded) and talk to owners about them. Just the same way Zed Club, RS Owners club etc all do.

+1 The only people I feel sorry in that are the families of the dead, as they've got to live with not only the fact that their kids/siblings/whatever are dead, but also that they were completely devoid of any common sense. +1 Not good.

Congrats!!

Welcome to the site!

Looks good, nice pics from your mate.

Welcome to the nuthouse!

Just to be clear, I am not in anyway criticising the way the Wales run has been and is organised. I understand the points above. The reference was purely with regards to getting more active members by being at something that isn't Zed exclusive.

About the same amount as it would have been unworn, perhaps a 5% increase, in 25 years you may be looking at a 35% increase due to its limited status... If you look at page 4 on this site Lot 398 http://www.artcurial.com/pdf/presse/2007/r1261.pdf I sold a series of these watches that came in a group of 6... I think that they were about 20k each and this one sold for 50k euros... Not a bad return in 17 years!! If he had have sold all 6 he would have made alot more money... Big Phil, nice collection mate Makes an interesting comparison with what a £100k car would be worth after the same period of time... Depends if that £100k car was a Ferrari F40.....! I 'looked' at one a few years ago when I was on my way down to the south coast, in a small specialist dealer, and it was up for £125k. The last one I saw a few months ago the guy had paid £250k for!! Classic car market is very fragile, especially in uncertain economic times. Anyway, the comparison was with a new car. Very true! Just find out what the big insurance and banking executives are looking for and buy one now ready for the ridiculous bonus time in 12 months time!

Thanks for the points you raise, firstly the idea of starting this thread was to guage what members wanted to do this year, some are asking for Donny and some are asking for Wales, i want members idea,s on dates etc. I am yet to be convinced Donny will happen and i must admit i am very pro Wales. Last April was a massive success with 30+ zeds in attendance, i don't really see the point you are trying to make about it been insular, yes it's a meet for members only i don't think 30+ zeds is an exclusive club!! We currently have in excess of 2000 members and the club is growing rapidly and yes i would like to see a meet with a huge amount of zed's. I moaned like hell last October when we had 2085 members and only 12 going Wales. Ok it was year end and lot's of people had other stuff going on, but i know for a fact that Wales in April or May this year will once again be a great success. Up to yet i have only put forward April because that was when it was last year (Thank God Jacko got the sun order in early) it's not written in stone so if people want it in May then say so but i need more than one person to say so. I guess that proves two of my points bud. Firstly if we aren't convinced Donny will happen then there hasn't been enough put behind it by the 'leaders' of the club. If it was highlighted as a big kick off / meet / drive / party, it covers just about all the things the members on here seem to get involved in. As for growth, the number of registered users is certainly not directly proportional to the number of contributing users..... And the Wales drives are insular - if the most posting-ist member is told he can't go without a Zed that by definition says it doesn't reach out to non-Zed owners. Being out of the car, while it is stationary and talking to people does. If it comes down to it and there isn't the support there for it, I will be there for the drive in Wales, and support what the club wants to do. But I do think it would be opportunity missed.
