  1. See if the advice at around 1.30 in this vid helps you: http://youtu.be/XCE2z9yzIJk Bear in mind this is US spec so some of the functions mentioned elsewhere do not apply to UK 370's, but what I have suggested you might see if it stops the annoying noise for you.
  2. Look at the blades: They're the V8 ones. It needed the bigger blades for the bigger intake/cooling requirements for the engine. The exhaust tips can be changed, but no way you'd put the smaller blades on. /R8 geek Having checked the specs (not being an R8 geek ) the exhuast on the silver wrapped one is a bit of a giveawy that it is a V8 as they are hardly likely to have changed the V10 tips, as on the adjacent car, to V8 tips
  3. I'll ask, as you have not mentioned it, you sure the spare key is not in the car somewhere?
  4. Nice drive and cool down lap - and can't blame you for staying clear of that Escort
  5. Pm R35LEE - he's not far from you and I'm sure could help you with a fix, and if any more parts are necessary. Here is some good advice on another thread by a post from samniss350z: Posted 16 April 2015 - 07:33 If you remove the window motor and strip it down you will find that the inside will be covered in gunk and crap. Give it a good clean with a toothbrush (the wife's will do) and solvent and then remove the brushes. Chances are that these will be worn down to the nub end . Maplins do a brushes that are virtually a direct replacement (a little mat/l needs to be removed). Replace, refit and all should be well. My motor has lasted 2 years so far. This is the only fix that has worked long term for me. I can't recall the Maplin part No; but will try to dig it out if you require. This fix cost about £8 as opposed to the £130 plus you'll pay for a new motor. I initially just cleaned out the motor but within a couple of months it started to fail again. Good Luck.

    Porsche Cayman

    My sis in Oz has one of those - great engine under the bonnet but getting in and out the back with the scissor doors was not made for my 6'2" frame and when you are in there, oh the backache. But at least in the back you were not easily seen..............
  7. Sad news about your ZED, good news about you and the one to be, positive news about a replacement ZED - ought to be a white one!
  8. Might be your joke but that hardly sends the right signals to the all the female ZED owners we have on the forum. An appropriate smilie, especially for a newbie, might have least conveyed to all on here it was said in jest.
  9. You know the rules; pictures or it didn't happen! Looking like he is heading for with all this teasing
  10. Here you go: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/22880-guide-for-new-memberspotential-buyers/ Good luck
  11. This is what I thought was a splitter - on andyjames car: As I agree with you Steve - Darren's example and even the one Adrian (octet) posted is what I would term a chin spoiler
  12. Looking forward to seeing the updates in the flesh on Saturday, nuts 'n-all.
  13. I guess once you have have added the FI you will need something to keep it grounded! But have to say that the rear louvres are a no-no for me, and without FI do you really need the spoiler/splitter?
  14. Compare yours to this one: http://www.350z-uk.c...es/page__st__20 Borrowed from 350Ad when he had hsi 350 done (now 370Ad) Seems to me there are some significant differences but I'll let others with more knowledge on the settings comment further.
  15. Great feedback
  16. £100 for a fixed penalty fine these days. Pete Say Whaaaat.... Bloody inflation, the speed awareness it is! Look at the positive - that's about a tank full of petrol, that you could be using and then pick up another ticket
  17. Seller is not trying to pass it off as a 313 so credit to him for that. The '06 296hp rev-up was a short run compared to the DE 276bhp and with the release just a year or so later quite few of the 06 models remained unsold even into 2008.
  18. The caravan driver should have been in the lane before the shortened white lines - the **** simply left if too late and seemed to be aiming for the larger gap in front of the Renault that was in front of the lorry, but then decided not and tried pulled into a space that wasn't there for a car+ caravan. Can't believe he would risk his life and that of the young girl as that could easily have resulted in his car and the caravan being serverely crushed. The only factor against the lorry driver was not remembering shed tuggers are a law unto themselves on the road....in my experience of them. How many times do you see them be courteous and pull over when there a traffic jam behind them.....
  19. Edited the thread heading for you Amy
