  1. Its not a cam belt they are talking about, if that is what you were thinking - ZEDs have a chain
  2. Search button - now er, what's that for again
  3. Unfortunately it is very believable - any excuse for an insurance company not to pay out, even when someone is trying to do the right thing.
  4. If the eject/load options are not doing anything, then I would go back to the dealer. Jusy hope they don't suggest you inserted a dodgy CD that got stuck

  6. Simple, just tell her that her bum DOES look big in that new dress... I guarantee you will be able to go wherever you like permanently! Im in will be bringing my boy! At least she will know who you are with, June's getting suspicious with me going out 2 weekends on the trot on my own

    Rear Tyres

    The chances are that you have Bridgestone 040's on the car. It is not adviseable to use the much superior Bridgestone 050A's just on the rear as it will show up a lack of grip at the front. The 040's are rather poor in the wet and no doubt why Nissan stopped supplying them on the later 350's and 370's. There are varying opinions about what tyres are best, but what we do know from experience of the ZED is that it is safer to use 4 tyres of the same make and type and even tread wear. Unfortunately the more expensive they are the better they are likley to be, but that is not to say some of the mid-range tyres are perfectly suitable. In the dry you can get away with various combinations but in the wet the ZED can be a real handful and that is where tyre choice becomes critical. A set of 452 Falkens all round can be had for under £500 - if budget is limited - I have used them and found them more than adequate. Otherwise go for a full set of 050A's if you can.
  8. Chris - don't you remember the time out we set for Zugara every time he logged on to save our headaches
  9. Nice spot What's also nice is that all the panels are the same colour
  10. A little bit of wrapping and a decent exhaust would no go amiss
  11. welcome back and same as me with two 350's previously and now a 370, but didn't need the BM fix in between
  12. 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
  13. "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.
  14. And happy birthday to its pilot today, you old codger
  15. But just popping down to HMV so I can read it in tune
  16. You got two feet like glrnet so you go and have your Snowball you lazy git
  17. 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
  18. .... 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
  19. 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
  20. 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
