Astons, Jaguars built like sh1te - this is going back to the bad old BMC days and their like when build quality let the Japanese and other 'foreign' car manufacturers take over most of the market - no wonder British industry is on its knees if quality control has gone out the window again.
Reminds me why I buy Japanesse cars - they may not be perfect but at least I am not back at the dealers every 5 minutes German build quality may be good - but at a price, although recent tales of woe about VW has meant their customer satisfaction rating has slipped badly.......

"But he seems to think there is definitely something wrong"
Get that in writing from the dealer - armed with that information I would hope Nissan would not get difficult about paying the £200 labour charge, irrespective of the outcome.
Yes, I was thinking that, but before ou put your hand in your pocket I would push the dealer more.
It just occured to me that one of the local Taffys might know of a good dealer - see this thread and possibly pm those who might be near to you;

Good luck
If the dealer acknowledges there is a problem that can only be resolved by taking the box out and checking the internals and given your car is under warranty then that work should be down to Nissan, or the dealer if it turns out their diagnosis is wrong.
This seems a case that the dealer is either not assertive enough with Nissan about the issue or they are not sure if their diagnosis is right and are covering their backs.
I would get a statement in writing from the dealer about what he considers is necessary. If he backs away from that then take the car to another dealer that has the expertise. Not sure who are your local dealers but a check on the thread that lists good and bad dealers (I'll try to locate it after posting) might be your better option.

BTW - have moved the thread.
So although you are no longer the car's owner, it wil be a good buy for someone else - just a pity they have not been around so you could have both done better out of a deal.
But thanks for the feedback and I have seen a few move on from ZEDs to R26's so you will be in good company - I presume you fit better in that
Have amended the title of the thread to reflect the sale.
Good luck, and don't be a stranger

Oh dear me, must improve my spelling
nope, on second thoughts think I got it right first time
But by now arnie will be so he won't care...
...as if he ever would anyway
Hope you had a great time, old boy
+1 But i really cant see it happening.
You not gonna have another bet with Ebized then?
I think he has other priorities in the gambling stakes at the mo (see his avatar)
They didn't want him in the end, even for the same money as this year (£3m) once Mercedes took over...
Really no-one has confimed that. There is talk that it may have been one of the reasons but there is also the reason that Button too a huge pay cut last year and could not do the same again. £3m is taking the **** when you think Kimi gets £20M for sodding off to another sport
...and the fact that Button would whip Heidfield's arse and they couln't have that in what is becoming the premier German team in F1
Welcome on board and hey, why wait 3or 4 years - we had an 18 year old driving a GT4 on our Mid wales drive-out in October and there are a few 20 years with ZEDs.

Welcome to the club and pleased to say, , the more mature generation are well represented on here although my grandson has not yet called me an old fart
Back on topic (as I drag myself from drooling over Dave's avatar), I wonder how well Porsche paint stands up to a bit of sand blasting - can you imagine the outcome if that were a ZED
