These cars are not cheap to run, and get very, very expensive if you skimp on servicing. My advice would be to take your car to a good independent (driving there with low revs) and get them to do a 'proper' oil and filter change. In your general location there has been continuously good feedback about Lockwood & Greenwood from members on here: http://www.lockwoodandgreenwood.co.uk/contactus Others on here may be able to tell you of others nearer to you

If it is yours.......and not picked up on the road then Nissan should cover it under the warranty

You have answered your own question about the disc issue and and I agree with Commander about replacements ^^^ As for the rubbing, those 'tram lines' disappear under the tyre crud you have left which suggests to me they are something you have picked up on the road surface somewhere, beside which they are well clear of the bolt (seeing your test pic) that you think might be responsible. But have you checked nothing is caught between the rear of the disc and the brake shield, like a stone or twig - that has often been responsible for rubbing noises You should know by spinning the wheels when the car is jacked up.

Hi Ady - yep, your birthday prezzie is a welcome back on the best UK 350/370 forum

Hope your head is not hurting now Hugh

There is an excellent guide here: http://www.350z-uk.c...removal-brembo/

Can you post up a vid showing the noise?

Opportunist

Car has gone into 'limp' mode for a reason. As I understand it the ECU will start the car as normal but then will pick up the sensor(s) that are showing an issue and hence the limp mode.

That garage clearly has no understanding about the car given the list of miss-descriptions, and yes I agree with you about its more likely true worth. I can believe that. Peter certainly had skills when it came to leather work, but his mechanical abilities were far more limited and remember as he was disabled could not physically do much of the work himself. I think you find those bills might also include work he had redone and repairs..... But they do not begin the justify the price being asked

Poor Kim

Surely a dipstick check or would indicate if there was water in the engine or drain the oil to see what comes out? Seems a whole lot cheaper than stripping the "top down"?

Not a good idea to post your email up Matt as the BOTS love to latch onto those and before you know you have the world and his wife emailing you. PM messages are far better as mentioned above. You can edit your first post if you wish, or pm me and I'll do the necessary

Feel for you guys, wear and tear is one thing but when you did nothing wrong to end up collecting scrapes etc it really sucks.

This one? http://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/tools/hand-tools?cm_re=mmworkshop-_-Tools-_-Handtools

As you say Will a lot of familiar roads and all that does is want me to go back, again, again, again...... So many great cars there - spoilt for choice, but although I have never driven any of them from that review by the drivers/testers at the conclusion who have that opportunity (damn them ), the GT4 Cayman is the one to have with Porsche having focused on the driving experience rather than looks outright speed or dare I say those with bottomless pockets. And I have to say I was minded to take a serious look at Cupra 280 that earned praise in this review before i saw the feedback about awful dealer experience and when buying a new car that is a factor in my book never mind the nearest dealer was about 50 miles away and at the time did not have a demo to try!

Suggest you pay a visit to Marcus (trader on here and has helped sort out brakes for many members on here) - he's not far from you, and he will sort out your issue - see his website: http://www.discskimmers.com

Especially the 200,000k+ miles

Great idea Dave

Perhaps Michelin will send you a birthday card for all the business you have put their way Or perhaps they will up your commission And if not have these on me xxx

See his first sentence in post No.46, in answer to me seeking clarification on the 'other work'. A risky thing to do giving them virtually a blank cheque but the poor guy (literally now!) has hopefully learnt a hard lesson on how to not presume that because a garage has NISSAN over the door it will always mean a job well done at fair prices.

Terrible, terrible news and he will be sadly missed. He contributed so much to the forum in so many ways - in the fact the list is endless, and he was so generous is help in all ways. Having enjoyed many meets, drives and 'socials' with 'Mart' and Liz, our hearts go out to her for her loss and he was one of the best. Although he did not always enjoy the best of health there was always laughter and good humour when Mart was around even though his body was giving him grief, such was his way to enjoy life to the full. A very sad loss for all who knew him. Rest in Peace Martin .
