  1. Nice spot What's also nice is that all the panels are the same colour
  2. A little bit of wrapping and a decent exhaust would no go amiss
  3. welcome back and same as me with two 350's previously and now a 370, but didn't need the BM fix in between
  4. Got a few comets in the pond More seriously one of my clients http://www.koiwatergarden.com is one of the few licensed retail Koi importers in the UK - contact me if you want an intro
  5. "Viewing is always warmly welcomed, BEFORE BUYING NOT AFTER, Please kindly remember you buy/bid at the asking price and not to haggle afterwards. All though I have listed this BMW with best offers I would like nearer asking price so please refrain from making silly offers. A token deposit of £100 would be appreciated if you use the buy it now option just to secure the car. 'You can see from my feed back I describe the cars accurately as possible and I like to make sure the customer is happy with their purchase'' Is he sure it is an Nissan? Typical trader error although not in the same league as a certain S2000 outfit.
  6. And happy birthday to its pilot today, you old codger
  7. No need Colin
  8. But just popping down to HMV so I can read it in tune
  9. You got two feet like glrnet so you go and have your Snowball you lazy git
  10. Thread now locked as all sold
  11. There is some good avice here: http://www.drivingfast.net/techniques/w ... niques.htm From my "off-road" days I find that if you do get in a slide and balancing the motion in first gear on the clutch without stalling isn't helping, don't use the foot brake but use the handbrake, on and off quickly cadance style. Using the footbrake is only likely to increase the slide speed and all the ABS wil be doing is making a lot of noise. Whilst the ZEDs ABS will theoretically allow you to steer I have found that to keep to a preffered direction appropriate levels of handbrake leverage will also help to 'steer' the rear end, which you will not be able to do with the footbrake on. All of this is only recommended at low speeds though as if the conditions are that bad and you are going too fast there's no helping you
  12. .... and expensive BTW, if your are searching make sure they are from an MY06 facelift model, rather than an 06 otherwise you could end up with the same lights you already have
  13. Yep, I would recommend Brodit - no holes of glue so leaves no marks when you remove it. What I had in the 350 and what I have in the 370
  14. Used to be bob-a-job in my day Think I'll go round clearing some drives as a sideline - I reckon the new leaf blower I've got would make it an easy fiver
  15. The 350 spacesaver certainly does not fit over the 370 calipers. But by using a 15mm spacer it will fit on a 370, which requires the removal of the 10mm bolt. In snow you are worse off having wide wheels - rather like aquaplaning with standing water (recent F1 wet races demonstrated that so well). In fact in any slippery conditions the narrower the driven wheels the better (as I remember from my trialing days) and the reason why winter tyres not only have chunky tread blocks but are considerably narrower than 'summer tyres' , so I would not agree with Ekona's suggestion in the context of this thread heading.
  16. Thought the space saver went on the rear - doesnt clear the front Brembos? Got me thinking now - is that why the "bolt" is fitted to the front hubs to stop the spacesaver being used there, as you fit the rear OEM wheels on the front with the bolt in place. 2006 hand book warning notes about the spare and no other warnings I can see about not using on the front/rear axles : The T-type spare tire should be used for emergency use only. It should be replaced by the standard tire at the first opportunity. Drive carefully while the T-type spare tire is installed.Avoid sharp turns and abrupt braking while driving. Periodically check the T-type spare tire inflation pressure, and always keep it at 60 psi (420 kPa, 4.2 bar). Do not drive your vehicle at speeds faster than 50 MPH (80 km/h). Do not use tire chains on a T-type spare tire. Tire chains will not fit properly on the T-type spare tire and may cause damage to the vehicle. Tire tread of the T-type spare tire will wear at a faster rate than the standard tire. Replace the T-type spare tire as soon as the tread wear indicators appear. Because the T-type spare tire is smaller than the original tire, ground clearance is reduced. To avoid damage to the vehicle, do not drive over obstacles. Also, do not drive the vehicle through an automatic car wash since it may get caught. Do not use the T-type spare tire on other vehicles. Do not use more than one T-type spare tire at the same time. Do not tow a trailer while the T-type spare tire is installed. Which means my idea of using 2 spacesavers is out
  17. On your previous thread Mark from Abbey said: "knocking noise , detonation maybe? was you running low on fuel when you added the injector cleaner? Do a ECU reset and make sure the ca rid fille dup with Super before running it again. But reading the problem I suspect a Air flow meter problem , Zmanalex can supply these as a good price at the moment" Is this the answer?? As you say, its black smoke so hopefully it is not the engine bottom end. I suggest you get a decent mechanic to take a look - send a pm to ChrisS who is in your part of the world - he knows a good one
  18. You spent the last 5 weeks trying to find it then - linky please
  19. Thread locked as item sold
  20. If you can download it onto your computer and save as jpeg and then add as an attachment, that is one way
  21. THAT DEEP
  22. Don't get John all excited now
  23. probably ended up with one vote if we were lucky It worked on Bernie to get F1 there so they probably got off cheap with FIFA
  24. Having seen several similar threads in the past, as Alex says and who probably knows more about ZEDS than the rest of us put together on here (not including other spealist traders on here), the air lock suggestion does sound a strong possibility. Another possibility is the thermostat is stuck as your symptons sound very similar to an issue I had in another car many years ago. But should you need parts ZMANALEX normally has everyting in stock (new and secondhand) and I'm sure he would talk you through the checking process if you contacted him
