Ebized

Makes a change to hear something in Scotland is dearer than England these days But that is a rip-off Paul - no doubt Chris will give you a few pointers

First thing I would do is check the pads - I'm sure I've read that the inner (less obvious) ones wear quicker than those you can more easily see from the sides of the car.

I've got a 3gs and it works with the BT bluetooth perfectly, it initially didnt want to but i got it to search for connections as i turned the car on and once paired it has been fine Great news - thanks Paul

Thought I would use this thread to ask if anyone who has a I phone 3g or 3gs has been able able to pair it successfully with the BT bluetooth adaptor that fits the Zed cradle so all the usual hands-free options work

What year was it when they stopped teaching English Language in schools

No just sensible and as Martin has said we like home comforts

Hi Mike, and I had to post it after I got rid of my Zed... I did post this on the Merc owners website , but they are such a boring forum , nobody evens bothers to comment on posts.. The guys on here dont realise what an excellent site this is Thats why my post count will never reach the dizzy heights you two have achieved as I always write too much We miss your one liners Tim (and the shirts) But hey, why you join us on the HOON in September, sure Stew will let you blast round with in the Merc Unless of course you feel you couldn't keep up...... I could go on but.....

Both days of course The main run is on the Sunday leaving Moreton Park at 10.00 and should be back for 18.00. The Saturday run will leave about 11.00am and likely to be back about 16.30 so that cars can be cleaned up for the next day. Be great to have you along im tempted with both days, is a two hour drive home and then 2 back in the morning acceptable? hmm i think i will come along for the sunday run! just need to find a co-driver, i'll add my name to the sunday list now Why not stay overnight and do both - for £60 + a meal isn't that worth it to meet up with members on here over a few jars that you you only so far exchanged pleasantries with, or in the case of Nixy, wound up

Nothing wrong with your sanity Stew, its just that lad has got good taste and probably realises it is a car he could aspire to and not just dream about But good on you for making the opportunity - shame something like that dosen't seem to happen at the other end of the country........unless someone out there knows otherwise

what the bonnet or engine Engine bay bud. Not a fan of the bonnet - the second you touch it, finger prints. Second you clean it, scratches. Nice idea but not convinced. OK for shows but for general road use it would be a magnet for the light-fingered brigade and looking at the pic above I see bonnet pins are used to keep it shut but no obvious sign of locking, only making matters easier for the scroats. Mind you, with some carefully placed lighting about the engine bay that could look at night

Nice pics and if you want to see more of Wales sunning scenery and some of the best driving roads come and join us on the 10/11 October viewtopic.php?f=57&t=25919

As you are in Cumbria I am sure one of the locals can help verify the problem - ask Martinmac for starters

Forgive me if this sounds patronizing but just to be sure your have the adaptor fitted - check out this thread which shows the item in the cradle - they were not supplied with 55 ZEDs new so it wil have been added at some time after. viewtopic.php?f=17&t=13358&hilit=BLUETOOTH+ADAPTOR If so, I presume you are also trying to pair your phone with the adaptor with the ignition switched on otherwise it won't work. If it is still not working then, given others have said their same phone works ok, is that you have a dud bluetooth adaptor. Do you konw another local forum member who might be able to test theirs with your phone? Hope this helps and sorry about suggesting you check the basics but I thought it might be worth mentioning

Always a pleasure to see your engine bay James - more cracking work you have done there Hope it still looks like that clean after the Wales drive in October

I can never understand those that attempt to go the full way round a 6 foot diameter blob of white paint (a mIni-roundabout) without crossing over it - watching their arm thrailing antics can be hilarious - and how do they think lorries get round They are the same idiots who glare at you because you don't try to do the same as them, as though you are cheating or something, fogetting that as long as the principle of treating it as a normal roundabout in terms of when to enter is followed, that is what matters. Looking at those pics of the magic roundabout there is a similar arrangement at Hatton Cross on the south side of London Airport where you go the 'wrong' way round one of the roundabouts - creates some confusion for those coming upon it for the first time

Wow - that is a very useful link - ought to be put up as a sticky

...and then you woke up .....it was all a dream

That pic was not taken by Louis - it was on the London to Brighton run November last year, but I agree the ones Louis has taken are also supurb

........and you havn't already gone to the trouble of changing locks etc

OK, but try ending the call on the phone itself rather than the steering whel button, to see if that clears the radio - its not what you should have to do but if you at least get your music back its half a result. Perhaps someone on here who has the same phone as you can help out

Surprised that one so young as you know about these - they pumped out 101BHP from their little 998cc turbo-charged 3-pot and it was a well sorted car in the handling department too -as good fun as the original Mini-Cooper S in its day. One of the best cars I have had the pleasure of owning Whilst the temptation of showing who is boss on the road is there with the chavs, although sometimes what they have under the bonnet can result in , the risk of the proverbial cash machines being parked round the corner or the intimidator turning out to be an unmarked bored plod carrier looking for the next points victim, means I try to be as careful as possible about when and where I exercise the loud pedal

She's looking good Tim, just a shame the car is not standing the test of time as well Seriously though, thanks for taking the time of sharing your trip and pics with us - looks like you had a great time even if MB reliability dosen't match Nissans It is amazing just how many ex-ZED owners keep in touch on this forum - and I'm glad one of them is Tim

Seems odd I presume you have the manual, but if not here it is: http://www.350z-uk.com/downloads/KE283- ... manual.pdf On the odd occasion I have found that if I have dialled a number before getting into the car (out of bluetooth range, I thought) and it was not answered but on having started the car the PHONE message stays lit rather than going out after a few seconds, as it should. The only way to clear it was to ring the number again and then end the call knowing I was definitely within bluetooth range. The only reason I am telling you this in your case is to see whether you can clear the PHONE message by using the red button on your phone, as well as/instead of the telephone switch on the steering wheel, to see if that works, just in case the bluetooth is not registering the call has ended for some reason? Are you sure the telephone button is fully working? Try the re-dial procedure to see if that works (page 3 in the manual). Otherwise
