  1. Signed - thanks for drawing this to our attention. And having just moved to a location where we can hear racing on the local track - nothing like race engines at full chat
  2. The poor horse, and then having to show his shiny bit too
  3. Winter tyres, engine over the driven wheels, largely fresh snow minimising ice, piece of cake I'd say
  4. No wonder Insurance companies do very nicely Sorry Annie, but that is like pouring money down the drain...... I hope you don't have other similar insurance policies - just have those you must have - which are car and house for me and as you suggest, keep a sinking fund for the unexpected.
  5. Don't forget - we live in rip-off Britain
  6. Move over Ricciardo, Daryl needs a pit stop.... Well you would expect that when you work for RB, eh
  7. NO, do as Tricky Ricky says - 10w40 - basically it stays thicker than 5w40 when the engine gets hot and less likely to get burnt away
  8. Normally kept with the 4 wheels nuts that been replaced by the locking nuts. Just look in all your cubby holes and in the boot and as said above, having first checked it is the one that fits your (wheel ) nuts.
  9. I've been advised before that it's best to get at least two of the alloys done as it's virtually impossible to get an exact match with the dark colour Rays. A slight mismatch between the alloys from one side to the other will not be noticeable wheras a mismatch between the two wheels on one side will be - hence its best to have two done on the same side. A company called Lepsons gets good reviews. As for the paint, I've done a lot of my own research pending getting my bumper scratch repaired. A good painter should be able to do a repair that isn't detectable to the naked eye by blending the repaired area with the surrounding area etc. Pearls are supposedly harder to match, which is why you need to use a body shop with a very good rep. Like you I won't be happy unless the repair is invisible (although bear in mind that there is always a mismatch between bumper and body anyway due to the way paint sits on plastic and metal). Yet to see a perfect 370 OEM wheel refurb colour match so as - Sipar says ^^^ but in my case I decided to all 4 done and asked that they match the satin alloy on the handles etc - pleased with what they did (powder coated btw). And noting Sipar mentioned TGM in his previous post as regards the pearl white match, when I enquired about having the stone chips on the front bumper and bonnet done, Billy at TGM said as happy as would be to take my money he strongly advised to have the front blended and onto the front wings as the pearl sparkle does vary from car to car and on each car and helps to avoid any obvious change at panel lines and in my case said the chips were relatively minor and I should save my money! You might like to pm Will370z who has had work done at TGM..... Not saying that is where you should go just passing on info obtained from one of the rare places I would entrusted my 370 to be painted.
  10. Rather than hijacking the thread Fodder with your own question - best if you start a new topic in the off topic discussion forum - I've removed your post but pm me if you want a copy. Oh, and moved this thread from 350 General.
  11. Sorry to see that - hope it is all limited to what your pics show, but it's what has been damaged that is out of sight ( if anything of note) that can be a question mark. Admire your cool in the circumstances - let's hope it is sorted to your satisfaction asap.
  12. When you grow up Andy the tie will be just fine
  13. Think we can safely say she is not a petrolhead
  14. As you are buying and not selling have moved from the for sale section.
  15. Only if you mix your nuts Dan
  16. Good to see a newbie taking on board the PB advice (or you use other picture hosting sites) and also managed to achieve a smilie in your topic, something that is rare to see. A good start and welcome, with a cracking looking Sunset!
  17. Moved from 350 parts, given you say it is also OK for a 370.
  18. Have a good one everyone And enjoy those ZEDS!
  19. Them there Welsh roads are just made for Zeds - glad you had a good day and lots of car washing followed, eh? Pics are fine
  20. Looking at all the pics he ought to be ibusy and the rest of you iwatch
  21. Interesting you say that Alex as when I first saw this thread it made me think that not all countries have super unleaded and I have wondered whether exports to those places would have meant Nissan catered for that in the ECU settings? And that said, I have never seen what fuel labels are put on other countries cars.
  22. Built by Nissan Broken by grundy225 Mounted by Keyser Can grundy win it two years on the trot er, drift....
  23. Never thought I'd live to hear this!!!!!! I think you used to say if it's too loud you're old. Welcome to my world Neilly Lol yep I'm now officially too old for a loud exhaust. I think its more the fact that my hearing is ruined! Living up to your avatar then
  24. +1 If you are in Canturbury then Sly at Kaizer will sort you out. Try sending a text as he may possibly be having time off atm.
