  3. Common 'issue' that normally does not need work done, unless it really bothers you and as some have found replacements can make the same noise! http://www.350z-uk.c...ng#entry1298330
  4. Yep But in my defence the technology in the AMG has upped the game and the sport mode (which brings the exhaust alive along with the 'manual' paddle option) allows you switch to paddle changes, but will then change back to auto when the next shift is detected and you haven't done that so that on roundabouts for example it's quite handy to leave the auto to sort it as there is only so far I can twist my arms round with the wheel . Opting for manual paddle changes means it stays in that right up to the rev limiter.....until I decide otherwise. Then there is also comfy/lazy/stop& start/petrol consumption mode which is the default setting at each start, but somehow that's not getting much use Nearly done enough miles to test the launch control But yes if I'm honest I miss my knob to play with in the twisties

    Welcome Torqen

    The same sitaution with all our other traders who deal with both models - really down to them how they choose to list their 'wares'.
  8. For the record, National Rail will refund in some situations: http://lisa.national... I get a refund
  9. Compare that to the number of cars stolen by thieves getting hold of car keys by house break-ins, pocket picking, in pubs etc. From that BBC story 370's are not mentioned and can't say I recall one being stolen without the key..... unless someone knows better? But yes if one were stolen without the key and driven to some hideaway for dismantling, then that would be sad, but the fact the owner still has the key(s) should not mean an issue in the the insurance being paid out. A reminder not to leave the keys loose in the car while you pop indoors for the car to warm up! Not sure why you felt the need to quote Romania G Man, cars are geting stolen to order for all over the world
  10. Maybe, but your post was asking about whether the mechansim working hence the operation method to test. As you set up two threads effectively about the same thing I have locked your linked thread as this is the one attracting responses.

    MPSS price

    That is in 18" sizes? That is about half what I paid in October 2013 for the 19" wheels on the 370
  13. Who are you ? More seriously, hope your birthday is a turning point for more things ZED in this coming year - do hope it was a good one
  14. Have a good one mate - expect you will be getting up close and personal to Pumpkin for the night, eh Oh, with the odd bottle pop to keep you going
  15. With the headlights on, they will be washed the first time you operate the windscreen washers and then every third time. Or, you can manually operate the headlight washers with the switch by your right knee - just make sure you don't open the fuel flap by mistake speaking from experience
  16. The response for those interested that I received on 23/1. (The layout is how it was emailed to me ) Dear Colin, The e-petition 'introduce mandatory noise complaint waiver for anyone who buys or rents a property close to motorsport venue' signed by you recently reached 37,927 signatures and a response has been made to it. As this e-petition has received more than 10 000 signatures, the relevant Government department have provided the following response: Introduction The issues raised in this e-petition relate to land use in England and Wales. They touch on the law relating to the ownership of property and the private law of nuisance as well as the planning system, statutory nuisance and the regulation of public events. The underlying complaint is that new residents object to established activities within their new neighbourhood. Individuals are in general free to live in any part of England and Wales. They may buy, rent or be permitted to use a residence. On taking up residence they generally have the same rights as the existing inhabitants. Removing the rights of incomers to protect themselves against nuisances would discriminate against them and probably intensify the enquiries made by prospective residents, making transactions more complicated and expensive, as well as increasing the risk of post-transaction litigation about non-disclosure or limited disclosure. The Government has no plans to change the law in this respect. The law of nuisance The private law of nuisance is a long-standing common law tort, or civil wrong, which affects a person’s private rights in relation to land. The law recognises that, in general, every person is entitled to the comfortable and healthy enjoyment of the land or premises owned or occupied by them. It is open to anyone with an interest in land to bring a civil claim where there has been an unreasonable interference with the use and enjoyment of their land as a result of the unreasonable use of neighbouring land by another person (the defendant). Remedies available could include an injunction to moderate or cease the unreasonable use of the land and/or damages for the interference suffered. The standard to be applied by the courts in determining whether the claimant is entitled to a remedy is an objective one based on what is reasonable to the average person. It is also necessary to take account of the circumstances and nature of the locality in which the claimant is living. While any benefit to the wider community arising from the defendant’s use of their land is not a defence against a claim, it may be a factor considered by the court when assessing if the use is reasonable. The fact that the defendant may have been using the land in that way before the claimant came to the vicinity is also not a defence, although the extent to which the claimant was aware of the activity when acquiring their interest in the land may be a factor that the court will consider as part of the overall picture. Applying these general principles, the court has to reach a decision in the light of all the circumstances of the individual case. Achieving a just outcome in such civil disputes is a matter best left to the courts, and the Government has no plans to change the law in this area. There is also statutory nuisance legislation which draws on common law nuisance. It would apply to noise from premises that unreasonably and substantially interferes with a person’s enjoyment of their property or damages their health. It also places a duty on local authorities to take action, rather than individuals relying on seeking redress through the courts. Before using this legislation, the local authority would assess whether a statutory nuisance exists based on the circumstances of the case, taking into account a range of factors including how the character of the locality (including existing noise sources) affects the situation. Individuals may also bring private actions under this legislation There are safeguards for motor sport venues in relation to complaints from nearby residents. When assessing statutory nuisance and deciding on potential enforcement action and whether mitigation measures are required, the venues – or any businesses - have a defence of best practicable means if they can demonstrate that they have done all they reasonably and practicably can to minimise the noise impact. Planning The planning system has an important role to play in helping to prevent nuisances occurring in the first place. National planning policy for England as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework expects local planning policies and decisions to avoid noise from giving rise to significant adverse impacts on health and quality of life as a result of new development, and mitigate and reduce to a minimum other adverse impacts on heath and quality of life arising from noise from new development, including through the use of conditions. However, it should be borne in mind that the grant of planning permission does not license a nuisance and in some cases businesses may need to do more than just comply with their planning conditions to avoid causing a nuisance. Where appropriate, the courts will look at planning decisions and compliance with any planning decisions when assessing whether a nuisance exists. Elements of an ‘agent of change†or “right of first occupant†principle already exist within national planning policy and guidance. The National Planning Policy Framework, for example, states that existing businesses wanting to develop in continuance of their business should not have unreasonable restrictions put on them because of changes in nearby land uses since they were established. In particular, the planning guidance supporting the Framework directly addresses the issue of noise sensitive developments, like new residential developments, where there is an existing noise source and includes advice on noise mitigation measures. In a recent update of the guidance, the Department for Communities and Local Government underlined planning’s contribution to avoiding future complaints including through looking to developers building new homes near venues giving rise to noise to include sound-proofing in the homes. Motor sports venues The Government fully recognises the huge popularity of motor sport in this country both on 2 and 4 wheels. Motor sport is important in terms sporting participation, volunteering, engineering, advancements in technology, job creation and wider economic benefits. In summary, our policies and legislation, along with existing planning guidance, allow people to enjoy motor sport while managing the noise environment and without placing an unnecessary burden on businesses that operate as motor sport venues. The Government considers that it is striking the right balance between those who welcome motor sport and those who have concerns about it. This e-petition remains open to signatures and will be considered for debate by the Backbench Business Committee should it pass the 100 000 signature threshold.

  17. Credit to you getting up at sillyo'clock and take you car for a spin in the snow and then taking photos. Got to be worth a pic in next years calendar if only for going to that trouble. BTW, I also love the pics - the first one is literally a very 'cool' shot.
  18. Saddens me deeply, but this time I couldn't agree with you more

    370Z Nismo

    Unlike the 350's, the 370's ECU's retain the bhp gains after exhaust changes etc without the uprev. Personally, I found the uprev improved the driveability/responsiveness or whatever you choose to call it. As others have said before it's difficult to describe the 'feel' but if you enjoy using the full rev range that is where it comes into its own. But if you are someone that does not explore the full revs too often then it may be a waste of money. Oh, and it improved the mpg - not by any great amount but for me it was by about 3mpg cruising on the motorways, when I got bored and monitored the consumption.
  21. You looking to take Buster's crown on the wheel repaints And if those were your wheels on a certain black 350 I was following on the way home - I'd nick 'em back.
