Doing my own little research and certainly not to the depth you have, I found the link below informative (sorry if this is a repost) http://www.edisontec...ectricCars.html I guess they will get there in the end with something that is affordable by all, but can I ever see me losing my petrolhead obsession...............nah, unless I lose my hearing - I like the noise from the good ole sporty petrol engines too much

Most new smartphones will have problems connecting through bluetooth, so the feedback goes. Most will do the 'bose hack' for their music (unless head units are changed) - do a search on here if no one comes on with more advice as it's not something I personally wanted when I had my 350's as I just wound down the window for my music

That sucks - really sorry for you.

Over the years I have beeen on the forum this has been reported regularly as an issue and my 2006 350 did this on left hand turns, but I just got used to it and gave it a helping hand.

Working OK for me when I put my head round the door but everyone was out - probably have been having long Friday lunches

Looking at repeaters on the car when Darren first got the car the fronts one are now turned 180 degrees. Darren has probably done that to make it more areodynamic

See page 1-13 of your handbook (2006 model - worldwide) about children in front seats and air bags. But as techinstaller says in the UK it seems this would be illegal but your spot of front facing child seat is the answer.

Time to close this thread as it has gone so far off topic

Keep up doc - post #9 ^^

Having seen the pic and noting you are hoping your present home is only temporary and it is a privacy issue, if it were me I would have gone for the bamboo, as per Sipar69's pic. Easy to install and reduce the height....if that became necessary. But as you have laid out good money for the fencing you are in the process of putting up, might as well stay with that until the Council insist it has to go, by which time you wil have hopefully found your home of choice.

Please read the trading rules if you wish to sell/swap items

But I guess he could use the screening up to the height of the existing fence as that would cover the holes? I'm not 100% sure if the OP has put up a replacement fence or his own in parallel to the one with the holes in. If the existing fence is still there then yes, blocking the 'holes' should be perfectly OK. Oh, and when moving always check the Local Authority Search carefully for 'added' restrictions that Local Planning Authorties can impose, including taking away normal permitted development rights (done for various reasons). All too often I found clients disappointed to find controls in place they had not anticipated or checked before purchase.

Nonsence of the planning laws, looking at that pic above, is that technically the bamboo would be regarded as a means of enclosure that if more than 2 metres high needs planning permission. But nothing to stop you growing shrubs/trees (i.e a hedge) on your side of the boundary that exceed 2 metres.

Enjoying the debate but for goodness sake StevoD/Jetpilot please stop belittling that by language/comments that if continued will only end up in the OP's thread being locked. Everyone is entitled to an opinion - my own is that electric cars have been around for over 100 years but all the while the oil barons control the global economy we will only see meaningful development if there is the political will. Oh, and for a few years I was involved with the trial tests of fully electric Peugots and Citreon vans that were then withdrawn by those companies as they one by one broke down. A lot of interest back then in the 1990's but development stalled. Great fun on grass though with the heavy battery packs adding helping the handbrake turns Yes, as a means of transport they are probably the future, but not at Tesla prices for the masses. And I'm afraid this petrolhead will no more look at putting his hard-earned into owning one of them, anymore that I would buy another diesel.........(made that mistake once ) Oh bugger, and just reminded myself that I might have to eat my words as I get ever nearer to mobility scooter age Suppose we all have make compromises at times.....

Hopefully comon-sense will prevail for you from what you have described. BTW, officers from the local planning authority are also a "council officers" (usually given the title of an enforcement officer), hence me covering both aspects

Explanation is here: http://www.350z-uk.c...or-1-month/ No more to be said. Grundy & others have offered their services in the meantime on this thread in terms of contact with Tarmac.

IF it is the planning department who have taken issue over th fence there is guidance here: http://www.planningp...nceswallsgates/ You will see there are exceptions and I'm drawn to the fact you have replaced something that is existing and if it were of similar height (photos to prove?) then you might get away with arguing it was to "maintain or improve". The front/door back door issue is something of a red herring. More to the point is where any boundary(means of enclosure) fronts a highway and that includes paths, grass verges etc over which the public have right of pass. Without seeing the layout it is difficult to help further. BUT. Was the call from the Council estates/housing department as normally any phyisical changes to Council property require their consent as owners. That 'control' can be far more onerous so a bit more info needed to help further.

Just a thought.... With that mileage, as a starter you may find an engine flush (if one not done in recent times) might help to clear some of the inevitable sludge that is likely to have built up and my be the cause of slow re-acting guage and other areas of the engine not getting a fresh soaking of good quality oil. If you use the car mainly for short trips that will have added to the sludge build-up but if you are getting around 60psi at 70mph and around 20psi at tickover when hot then that would suggest the pump is OK. And make sure you use a quality engine oil (Mobil1 as an example) and filter rather than what comes off the shelf at Halfords etc.

Have to fly higher than this to be seen

Hmmmmm....... does sound more like a diff issue to me in that vid

First I have heard of the clicky axle issue on 370's........

The problem is that PayPal transfers can be withdrawn. Even if the money is in your account and you have taken it out of the bank the sender can still take it back. So what they do is tell you they will pay double for your car and send you double the cash in PayPal. Once you have the funds in your bank they collect the car and disappear. A short time later they then do a PayPal reversal and take the money back. So you end up with no car and a huge debt to pay back. Makes me wonder why people use PayPal if that can happen (as I have heard before) - I'll just stick with credit card and bank transfer payments.

Tradelink are notorious for not removing their old stock from websites though, so what might appear to be a lot of stock only ends up being 3 cars. Well at least that was the case on the two occasions I went to visit. I'm sure they will have an answer as a Trader on here, in case you had not spotted that http://www.350z-uk.c...nese-car-sales/
