+1 but afraid I do accept that Lewis said he did not see the Force India - again just another example of his impatience creeping in as there was a large gap just afterwards that he could have slotted into without drama. Di Resta is certainly proving his worth - I'm sure one of the main teams will have him signed up before long. Entertaining race though only spoilt by a combination of poor delivery by the director.................... and Brundle/Coulthard probably discussiing their futures rather than concentrating on the commentary

Thread now locked as the wheels are sold

Unless there was another 370 around, yes that was me between Burgh Heath and the Tadworth roundabout just before 11.30 Loaded with tools and bits on my way to Netherene on the Hill and my son's newly acquired house Didn't see you though - were you in your Sunset?

100% agree you

Shite

Nice fishing rod The car looks good too

Tell you what. Be nice and polite and offer him a ride and go to your favourite bit of road........ but put a seat protector on first Then see if opens his mouth again

I don't think you are defending the error Toby, but the fact is that is a misleading advert and could fool most into believing they are looking at something special and especially at the advertised price as that is way over what new discounted 370's are selling for which implies to me the person starting the ad process thought it was a Black Edition. (Benefit of doubt there). As Chris says, even enthusiasts have difficulties understanding all the 350/370 model variations so those new to ZED ownership would be in an even worse position. As the black editions are the most prized versions and rarely available, potential customers could be a making a hasty long trip to view the car so as not to lose the purchase opportunity only to be highly disappointed when they got there. Of course I am not suggesting that was the purpose by the ad but it would not be the first time....... A word in someone's ear who has clout in Nissan is due me thinks

Unless it's black, then it might be the most pointless mod ever You could have a white wrap, or even red to match your calipers

Just spotted something. I do not have the connect premium in mine and if you look at the phone button you will see the graphics are different to the MY10 370's that have the connect premium - so that is a quick visual reference

All he needs now is a good 350 to play with I can just see martinmac and Lexx arguing on the bridge when the next ban opportunity comes along, and with the spammers chancing their arms these days that could be quite often

I guess when it came to the limited "me time" it was no contest between keeping the ZEDs engine bay looking good and moderating the dawg, there was no contest More seriously, thanks for your work and support and perhaps when your present housebuilding is done you can come out of retirement on here

Here is something to get you started viewtopic.php?f=17&t=23843 Loads of other info too if you do a search

Having been told the Prima's are good boilers and will last ages, blah, blah,... I suppose the fact it has given trouble free service over the 19 years made me hopeful a fix was available. It has never locked out and hs always kicked into life - sometimes almost straight away but at other times it may be the 10th attempt before it catches and 'fires up'. But something is not right and of course I would rather get it sorted before winter arrives

Don't you find that whenever you drive in an unfamilier area the 'locals' are invariably exceeding the 30mph limits and get quite agitated if they have to follow you at the legal limit? That has been all too apparent in numerous visits to Wales in recent years with the tell-tale Welsh flags on cars letting others know. On our drive-outs in Wales we have certainly made a point to ensure the speed limits in the 30/40 zones are respected as there so that a convoy of ZEDs attracts the right attention rather than otherwise.

Think we all know that in Oz the boys in blue can be very unforgiving if you exceed the limit when the signs require a drop in speed. But its much 'fairer' there as virtually everywhere there are warning signs of the forthcoming change and so there is no excuse if you are over the limit as you are given ample time to slow. Here the advanced warnings are very limited - it is a shame it was not mandatory for all highway authorities to provide these instead of the sudden change from 60 to 30, 40 to 30 or whatever.

Perhaps a friendly Nissan dealer can do a reset?

Item: Boiler - Potterton Prima F40 - approx 19 years old. Issue: Being lazy in firing up - fan is running - hear the noise as though it is going to fire up - then clicks and stops and restart the procedure after a few seconds. It will eventually catch after a varying number of clicks and all is well and usually, but will not always ignite first time once it has got going the first time. Sounds like: When you use a cigarette lighter and the flint is on the way out before it eventually sparks and the flame is lit. Checks carried out: I've had two registered engineers look at it. One had a Electronic control module with him that he swopped with the original - made no difference so he put the old one back. Scratched his head and said he would go away and do some research - and that's the last I have heard. Second engineer looked and scratched his head and said he would go away and do some research and yes, you guessed it....... Me googling: Came across this discussion which seems to have worked for many - capacitor change (loose change costs from Maplin) and/or dry joints. Not something I would undertake under any circumstances BTW. http://www.howtomendit.com/answers.php?id=26383 The first useful answer (bottom of the link) prompted all the positive answers: I had this problem, and spent a long time experimenting with various ideas, but the cycling on and off happened everytime that the boiler started up from cold. Sometimes it would cycle the fan on and off for 40 minutes before it finally started. I took the "black box" out and examined it. I clipped the tops off the relays and cleaned the contacts with paper: still the same. I then examined the underside of the PCB, and found several dry (ie badly soldered) joints. This didn't fix it. I then replaced all the electrolytic capacitors on the PCB, total cost £1.50, and Bingo!! it all worked fine. The electrolytic capacitors have a "+" marked on the board, and you must observe this. C4 and C7 were 22uF at 63v and C6 was 4.7 at 63v (but check on your board) The 63v is important don't get any lower voltage. Get high temperature (105deg) if you can, as they get hot, and that's what shortens their life. One of mine was oozing out at the bottom. You can buy capacitors at Maplins or CPC via the internet. This will probably fix most boiler control boards: the electrolytics will always be the first thing to fail on any bit of kit that gets hot. Next Step: Before trying a third engineer do you guys think the results in the link are credible and worth getting an Enginner to try first? I don't want him to think I was telling him how to suck eggs but given two registered engineers have so far not helped I hope it will be third time lucky, with a little prompt from one of you guys perhaps. Any suggestions for a fix as I do hope a new boiler is not required

And its not as though it is a trade-in so the garage has the full paperwork - no doubt a demonstrator - it even has the blue protective film on the footrest. Vik: 370 models -nicked from a post by Chris`I 2 main models as with the 350z - base and GT pack. GT pack adds leather seats, better stereo and cruise (as with the 350z). Connect Premium is the upgraded entertainment system which adds touch screen nav and better ipod integration and HDD "jukebox" (can rip CDs to MP3s upto 10GB). Ultimate was the first MY09 offer where you get a fully loaded 370z (nav, illumiated kick plates, etc) all included in the price and available in yellow with or without stickerage. 40th/Black Edition was the MY10 special which came with special red interior, callipers, dark wheels and limited numbers (370 for the whole of Europe) GT Edition is the MY11 special edition which comes with revised suspension for the UK, better sound deadening underneath and a sticker down the side.

Well it is black A Nissan dealer too

i'm using mobil just now and its lasting alot longer than castrol edge. Burning about 100ml less between top ups in comparison to edge I expect there is an easy answer to this but why are using mobil and not motul that you advertise on your car BTW, I have used Motul in my ZEDs

Just a thought. You don't normally have police vehicles with a camera van. It may be that van was checking for insurance/tax dodgers as that is when police are normally in attendance to chase after the dodgers when the signal comes through. Fingers crossed for you.

How about taking a pic and add a note to pin on a staff noticeboard where you work that a 'grey' car has done the damage and would the person responsible kindly contact you before it is reported to the police as failing to report an accident - might embarass them to come forward or a colleague might know the culprit?

Hope this helps: http://www.abd.org.uk/speed_limit_signs.htm and this quote taken from it: "Thus drivers entering the new 30mph limit from the existing one have only one chance (if that) to realise that the limit has changed — if they miss seeing that one sign, assuming there is one, they may continue at 40mph in ignorance of the change. This in our view is indefensible, and even more so if no sign is installed at all. There was a case in Kidderminster in 2002 where a 40mph limit was reduced to 30mph on the A449 and no signs warning of the change were installed. A large number of drivers were caught exceeding the new limit and one of them went to court, where it was agreed that the highway authority had acted unreasonably by not making drivers aware of the change. The police had to refund all the fines." If you feel the law is not complied with I would go back and take a video of the relevant section of road just so you have a record of the signage, in case it gets altered
