Fantastic buy for someone

Good luck - let us know when you have found one

Base model came with 18" as standard. Limited numbers sold though this side of the 'pond' but seems to be standard OEM issue on the other side.

Done

That maybe down to driving style though - use of brakes to slow down (as many do and nothing wrong with it) rather than the gears, but having driven a host of cars in nearly 50 years I have to say all 3 ZEDs that I have owned have such efficient engine braking that does suit my style and why I find them such a joy to drive. Probably stems from my days of youth taking part in Production and Classic Car Trials when the only braking you did was with the engine and handbrake . Diesels and especially the 4 x4 variety with their torque characteristics, are a good example where we know going down a slippery slope you simply rely on a low gear and let the engine do the braking and avoid the brakes altogether and feel the engine doing the slowing - something an off-road experience day would reveal to the full The 370 in fact addresses the issue rasied by the OP very well with the synchro rev (yes I know heel and toe can do the same but hey, I never got it right all the time ), and quite often when you find the the need to upchange, such as natural increase in speed going downhill, the synchro rev will blip the throttle to match the engine to the road speed and nicely smooths the drive.

That will be a HR - its Temper Orange and only had a 12 month run or so in that colour so limited numbers around For any wannabes reading, don't be fooled by the HR bonnet - quite a few have beeen added to pre 2007 ZEDs for the looks - always check under the bonnet to be sure it is an HR

Individual posts for the 6 entrants - Amy is No.5

Just bear in mind that if you are also thinking of upgrading exhaust, air filters etc it is best to do those before the uprev otherwise you won't benefit from any gains these changes might do and might even upset the tune

Hi, and as it is a 2007 car make sure it is a HR version as being claimed - too many before you have been fooled into buying a pre-HR version as many unsold 2006 cars with the DE rev up engine were not registered until 2007 and even later! HR engine: This is my 370 but same unit that you see in the 350HR: and this is the earlier DE rev-up engine 350 (in my previous 350):

I know you have had enough of dealing with Nissan, but honestly that response by Macklins is totally unacceptable and would urge you to let Nissan Customer Services about that and it being the last straw leading you to now buy a BMW due to the poor back-up service. PLEASE!

Think we have had this problem before when a member lost a poll he had started and it stems from the first post being edited when the poll somehow gets deleted and there is no known way of getting it back. And that is what Al did although I think this might be the first case of a Mod/Admin getting caught out. Just one of those things unfortunately.

Makes me think of the old signage in windows saying the car was alarmed (when that was relatively new practice), by now having signs saying something along the lines: "This car is protected by internal camera recording that is fed to remote recording - you have been warned!" Especially if you have the dash cams...... No doubt some will find good reasons as why that would not be sensible/useful but.......just trying to think of something to discourage these scroats that understandably makes you feel like keying them if you got hold of them! That's not the answer I know, but the law is clearly ineffective in dishing out appropraite punishment to stop/discourage this vandalism.

See, age is not so much a barrier in F1 whether young or old - which Alonso is in relative terms and as much as it grieves me to say it, he has that something extra to wring the neck out of a car that Button as another relative oldie does not have. Talented young drivers may lack experience but they have honed their race craft through the successive formulas they have competed in with their peers and proven their worth as we see with Riccardo who is not phased by the 'old guard' in F1 after just a few races at the top level finding out where he is in competitive terms. Also seems to me that the current level of technolgy in F1 is more suited to those that have not experienced anything else and as such not having the adjust driving styles

Diesel Civic? Pretty bullet proof, good turn of speed (always remember Ricky on here keeping up well in one on the 2008 Scottish hoon when his ZED was run over just as he left home to join us), and reliable as they come.

Looks like you got yourself a nicely modded Zed there Any more internal pics, only that slightly blurred view from the rear seems to suggest you have may have the 2006+ centre dash looking at the 3 dial and gearlever surrounds?

I'd recommend you get TOPHOOKER to have a look at your brake issue -sure he can sort it for you http://www.discskimmers.com/

Lets hope so - no pressure on Dad then And many congratulations Karrah

Can't be a feminine thing or Ekona would love them as much as you do :lol: +1 and another cup of coffee spat over the keyboard

I expect he is like the majority of the population and wonder why some owners get so anal about their cars, so your proposed gesture will probably make him think Christmas has come early...... . So like 370ad said ^^^ - a bottle of Malt should earn you a lot of brownie points But the fact you owned up does you credit anyway - how many times have we seen posts about hit and runs and members left having to fork out hundreds of pounds through no fault of theirs and I bet many would have shrugged it off if they had and it was minor - just pleased that the culprit owned up

Sorry - I was just following on from the previous posts about the MPSS Best pic I can find with the Sessas (with 25mm spacers):
