  1. every time I give the loud pedal a good shove.
  2. ...........think I'll pass on the BBQ
  3. I had similar experience last week Stew but better outcome? Been with O2 for 7 years - end of 18 month contract - local O2 shop wanted £100 to upgrade Xda Orbit to version 2; raise the monthly payment a fiver and an 18 month contract. Checked out the rivals - Orange doing a reasonable deal on the HTC Touch Diamond - rang O2 told em I was looking at the Orange deal - the coal face spoke to the backroom and in two days I had a the new Orbit for free on my same monthly payment plan and just a 12 month contract. Saves messing about changing car phone holders/chargers and staying with O2 means I also continue to benefit from a £5.60 off the monthly payment described as "loyalty reward" New Orbit, which has the HTC cube software, is a great improvement as is the the revised sat nav.
  4. Its what I use - suits me fine having the phone and sat nav in a more discreet place than stuck hanging off the windscreen: I use an extended lead (tucked out of sight along the central tunnel with a double socket velco fixed to the side carpet (see pic), which has the phone charging lead also serves a snooper. The passenger socket is then free for lap top or whatever. It can all be removed leaving no trace for when I do sell and its easy to change over the cradles on the Brodit to suit different phones.
  5. The correct repair is here: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... sc&start=0 - as said by others above, a re-grease is only a temp fix
  6. Or worse...... I am afraid these days for "keyed" take that as likely to be "knifed". Gutted for you ZBoy so soon after geting the car but make sure the same dosen't happen to you - maybe a cctv camera trained on your drive may deter, or at least make the scroats move on somewhere else. Lets face it that sort of low-life take the easy option of doing their 'thing'
  7. So given Cliff interest, guess that could be Hank
  8. Now the repair is all so very clear - I had always thought the regreasing option (and done by Nissan dealers) was only a temp fix as the symptons reminded me of the old BMC driveshaft issues - damage had been done to the joints that grease alone would not fix. Anyone who is wary of tackling this job themselves and is offered the 'quick fix' by the dealers can now refer them to this sticky to show them how it should be properly done. Top stuff Toffeeman
  9. ...........and potentially then at the front as well? But not sure how front sensors are normally wired in to work automatically I should have added when making a forward manouvre
  10. That sounds great, Phil. So, you're not going to continue on parking by feel then - sorry, couldn't resist
  11. IT - don't you just love it - like cars, great when it all works but when it don't................grrrrrrrrr Hope we hear from you again Stew - we might get lost in there them Highlands without you
  12. Looking good Martin - I now use the Dodo purple haze and equally impressed, oh and just in case you had forgotten the result :
  13. Kick the salesman out and go on your own. When I bought my first ZED I was handed the keys and told to enjoy myself An hour later I was sold and the car was bought To be fair the garage (non Nissan) have known me for a long time and I have since bought my second one from them (new 06 model at a price better than the Nissan stealers could offer) so it has been a good mutual arrangement
  14. You got an open hot-line to your insurers for the on-going mods The LEDS look really good, and black sets them off so well Looks like P15UL T is going to a busy man. Do I presume there is no problem to do the same on the 06 lights?

    Braking query

    Put my two-penny worth in. Not sure the age/mileage of your ZED but do the records show if the brake fluid been changed, particuarly if the car is over 3 years old? I always remember going to a seminar by a Castrol expert telling us about how water gradually builds up in the system - a possibility in your case? Phil or others more in know can say if the ZED's system is susceptible to this problem but if the fluid has been 'diluted' that maybe a cause
  16. Have you seen Lomoto's set-up
  17. £25k and all you get is bit of skirt with it. Registered '57 or not, they got be joking
  18. - just pocket change for you I've asked the question tis a very good buy, they dont come along that often...snap it up buy the way what was the question ?? was it...."do you take milk tokens ?" It was: Do you take Mothercare vouchers? Hard times eh Sarnie - one month you're going round spitting flames in the G the next your bartering mothercare vouchers
  19. Might have to do what the sailors did in days gone by - you remember Martin
  20. You changed your mind, thought your first answer said it was a Greddy 2, or was I seeing things Jay seems sure.
  21. - just pocket change for you I've asked the question Has she said yes, you can spend your pocket money
  22. 2006 car with an MOT just curious - what exhaust do you reckon has he got on that
