we are trying to keep values up by being exclusive Basically the recession and general financial climate has limited sales of cars like the 370, which was not such a concern 2003-2007, so 350 sales were good and the exchange rate meant many imports. I don't recall anyone coming on here with a 370 import yet......(waits to be corrected ) Reliability is fine after 21 months of ownership and 13k miles, in fact I would say much better than with the 350 given the know issues, but there again the relatively low numbers are a factor But having had two 350's before, I have found the 370 pretty well faultless so far. I have changed the front discs/pads to address warped discs that the dealer did skim first, but which did not fully resolve the problem. My biggest 'grumble' is that the sills are too easily stone chipped by the front wheels. It is surprising that no clear wrapping (as on the 350) is provided which would at least protect the more visible areas forward of the rear wheels. Otherwise, I can honestly say that a lot of the niggles in the 350 Nissan have been addressed in the 370 design making it a worthy successor in all respects, in my experience.

Does Mercedes know he's moonlighting Hope he has good news for you

Best wishes to you both

Cheeky

Will you don't drive any faster than 70...... Ask him how he lost his cap

Around 1pm going along Croydon Lane east to west. Looked very with the hood down and ultra low. And with roll over hoops or a rollover bar behind the seats, did I spot?

Great work - credit to you

Another is TGM sport at Fleet - 01252 811972 - ask for Tom. Good rates

Hope you had a great day and Vik spoilt you rotten

Not good to have an otherwise enjoyable day spoilt by that driving behaviour. Will be interesting to hear if you get any feedback from the police.

Moved topic from 370 to the 350 area

I have to say I find that it is the rubber air deflectors in front of each wheel that are being 'hit' more often than not but fortunately they are of a relatively flexible material and easily bend back. Otherwise a quick fix with a file/emery removes the scrapes left behind on the chin spoiler. For me, I would rather have the chin spoiler in place as a warning when parking close to kerbs etc or in my part of the world where we have any number of the tarmac humps that buses (and the ZED) can straddle but sometimes their height gives concern they could scrape/damage something under the car and a slow approach with the chin spoiler tells me when I need to adjust the approach with one front wheel going up and over.

Dosen't help in this case as the bumper is not OEM

That's ace!

Bad driving must run with the Schumacher name As David Coulthard knows all too well from Spa. Sorry to see that and hope the insurance covers everything OK. Glad you are OK.

I'd love too but i'm struggling to find where that is. . Can someone point be in the right direction? Click on the NEW TOPIC button here : viewforum.php?f=3

I hate to rain on your ideas, but having told us your engine is consuming a lot of oil you really ought to get that addressed before spending money on performance mods, as I am sure Mark at Abbey will tell you. Just hate to see someone wasting their money on cart before horse, if you get my drift

So presumable you don't have the connect premium on your car then? Correct - no touch screen

My 2009 GT has a 6 CD disc system - same as the 350's but I so miss the tape deck

Just Got 4 of Vred's finest for the 370 from MyTyres - maybe not the cheapest but easy site to search and buy and delivered to my fitter of choice with no problem. Checking their site, 2 x 225/45/18 and 2 x 245/45/18 the total price delivered is £584.40, as something to compare with.

absolute non-starter mate - the HR engine is 80% different from the DE, apart from all the other changes Mark (Abbey) has listed and the need for a 'humped' bonnet for it to fit

But I was on a recce in the Elan Valley area for the Wales drive in May :lol:

At least us HR owners can rest a little easily now that coope046a has clarified his engine - sorry about that potential lost business you saw coming Mark

Simple answer is that winter and ZEDs are not good bedfellows. 6 years of ZED ownership has proved that - period. And I do not shy away easily - Wales, March 2010 But if you have to use the ZED in winter - yes a set of winter tyres is better than the stock Bridgestones/Michelins PS2's (or Supersports) etc as they are classed as summer tyres.
