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

In standard form: And now wrapped:

You can ask them why 50+ ZEDs got past the van without a ticket about the same time and yours didn't

"A photograph with your user name on a piece of paper with the item(s) must be posted at the time of placing the advert"

Given your 'fanatic' status I've approved the ad but as you are cleary a pro with the camera and so I don't get my ears clipped by the rest of the team, if you can post a pic of the lens with name/date..............

There is a God 7 WHOLE HOURS without the pesky dawg on the forum

So they're old, then? Maybe they're hard of hearing which is why the TV is on loud? That's hardly going to be grounds for a legal complaint of any kind. Any kind of retaliation by making more noise really isn't going to help matters. GO AND TALK TO THEM LIKE A CIVILISED HUMAN BEING. If they're still arseholes after that than you can start thinking about other methods, but until you've done that then you're as bad as them. +1 and bear in mind if you make a complaint to the police or other authorities you are legally required to devulge formal complaints during enquiries on property sale which might put off buyers, so best to try and resolve amicably. When you revealed is was elderly neighbours that is a difficult one as it is bound to be a hearing issue for them and chances are they are removing hearing aids (if they wear them) for some respite. My father can't hear very well but what we have got him to do is have the subtitles running and no sound on the TV - and that has worked well (for him) and overcomes the potential complaints from neighbouring residents in the sheltered accommodation where he lives, on the advice of the staff there (in Oz).

Sounds like you might have to raise your voice for them to hear your invite In which case drop a few leaflets through their letterbox about hearing aids

Now that is far too sensible way forward Chris - with the freedom our demoracy allows that will only stir up those who, without any good reason will shout "foul" - we will do what we want. But when you see how families of those involved are affected and what they go through, and I can assure you that when it is your own off-spring and whether it is money problems, drugs or whatever, as parents/relatives you end up tearing your hearts out wanting their problems to end without their lives being ruined. and Vik/Sized, anyone else - drugs are drugs and if misused it not only affects the users but others as well and until they are only used as prescribed (yeah, Utopia) the associated problems will never go away, sadly.

Nice write up and pics there Will - yeah and sad that Iain's roadster has to go......

Could try turning your TV up even louder and wait for a complaint and say you had to do it because you couldn't hear yours because of theirs More seriously, might be an idea to introduce yourselves and invite them in for a drink and at the right moment tell what you are planning to do (insulate the stairs) because party-wall does not seem very sound absorbent - and do they have any suggestions? Hoepfully they get the hint and are reasonable.

Great race and well won by Lewis Germans didn't fare too well at their home race Wonder if Webber and Alonso will pick up penalties for the lift back to the pits - none I hope. But maybe Ferrari might if they can't supply a fuel sample

I think a sense of pproportion is required in terms of notifying insurance companies about minor incidents that results in no loss for anyone - i.e. how many times have you seen lorries create ruts in a grass verge - do the drivers ever notify the Council or Highway Authority what they have done - do they ever and if they did the department concerned would have to treble its staff etc! Thousands of minor vehicle related 'accidents' must happen every day but either the collision is so minor that the parties sort it out with resort to the insurance companies, or I suspect when a wall is hit or whatever nobody worries about it - just one of those things with no harm done. No point in giving insurance companies any excuse to hike your premiums

57 plate - looks like you were on your way to Kingston about 10.40am. I wasn't in the 370 so no point an old git waving from a Jazz as you came past

ZED is looking very nice and great pics - credit to you
