Nice to know

If you can back the car up towards a wall or something solid, by first finding suitable lengths of wood and a few wedges with cloths that should provide sufficient pressure to help hold the diffuser in place once the car has been fully warmed up and the diffuser then offered up. The longer you can leave it the better but as I have suggested, silicone might help and dare I say can be removed in the future and is unlikley to affect the paintwork, which I don't think you would be so lucky with using araldite

Get the wife's hairdryer out (or yours ) and make sure the area on the car is nicely warmed up as well. Maybe some clear silicone and if you can rig up a 'press' against the areas where the lifting occurs and leave that in place overnight that might help to complete the bonding? I used silicone when fitting the mudflaps, although one rear one needs re-doing as I did not keep some pressure on for long enough

You are seemingly taking the adverse comments personally John. We know the supurb quality of your own work - there are ample threads on here to vouch for that and I sure there are many of your colleagues at Jaguar who are equally as particular about their work and good at what they do. The fact is manufacturers (and their agents) go through difficult times - look at Alfa Romeo, Vauxhall, Skoda and many more - they have all been the butt of many adverse comments and went to lows at various stages because of the crap they put on the market for sale. Now look a Skoda for example - http://www.which.co.uk/news/2010/05/sko ... 10-214579/ Nissan still produce some crap cars that just don't sell and have got 'pulled' after a short life span. By and large the 350 has an enviable reputation and yes you will always get the odd rogue one but I can tell you that of the many, many cars I have had over 45 years of driving none, bar none, has been more reliable and given more satisfaction than the two 350's and 370 I have been fortunate to enjoy.

Having experienced both the 452's and 050A's I would not say the latter are very much better than the Falkens, for everyday road use. Yes, if you plan to drive the car very hard most of the time and on track the stiffer sidewalls of the 050A's will be better. The difference in price reflects the difference in performance - not that much, IMO. But you should certainly get new fronts as well as the rears with the tyre depth you have left. If not, you may even find the ESP cuts in a little too often spoiling the driving pleasure

Didn't you threaten to ban Zugara for that?? ? Pics of the car of course - usual request with newbies

Hi, welcome and look forward to meeting you at Goodwood

Ask your dad to chat to Chesterfield about a Jag XFR

rapidly joining the club mate

Moved from the 370 section

Like this one, contemplating the next project

Checking us out eh, for 11 months Welcome to ZED ownership and a nice Nismo kitted ZED you have got yourself there - just needs the Nismo wheels to finish it off rather than the bog standard wheels

Nice, but is crying out for the Nismo wheels

Even better when you have syncro-rev going up and down the gears

Not a find - just a regular newsletter I get now having spent a few $$ with Stillen

Glad you are pleased Will - I reckon Surrey's db levels have shot up of late BUT ALL IN THE BEST POSSIBLE TASTE, of course

Thread locked as item sold

Hey, don't wait until you are 25 - make it 23 at the latest I'll never forget on one of our Wales drives, a 17 year old driving his mums GT4 and what a pleasure it was to see how well he handled a 300bhp ZED - a real credit. Just a shame all new drivers aren't like him and meant sky-high premiums for all

Welcome to you and your mum and ZED ownership. Main question is are you going to drive it as well - if so, it is unlikely your mum will get much of a look in on that front ZED looks great BTW

Yep, difficult to beat the ZED magic - look forward to your return then

Lots of other bits for sale - well for the 370's anyway, so you should be safe

Bloody hell Feel for you - they say things come in threes, but how many times in your case Lets hope your luck turns.
