  1. And in case there are still those holding back for fear of increased mpg it makes **** all difference. What about the drop in BHP though, you`d need to turn it off when racing with a VXR or VRS surely ??.... As long as you don't turn off your brain as well if you are the public highway
  2. No problem for you Will, going topless everywhere, eh? All 3 of my Zeds would steam up if I didn't use the a/c - and Autumn is the classic time for this - just use the a/c and its not only good for you to see where you are going its good for the a/c to keep working at its best. And in case there are still those holding back for fear of increased mpg it makes **** all difference.
  3. It's a horrible time for them as I've said earlier, but F1 does not need also-rans. Neither team has contributed anything to the sport, apart from making up the numbers. Perhaps if all the teams had an equal share of the pot to help development.......
  4. >Before my time unfortunately but heard nothing but good stories about the guy. Big Phil was one of the first to get an R35 in the UK, and distinctive number plate to go with it (seen at Godalming 2008)
  5. Good news, but do we get to see.........
  6. Nice pair of Zeds (well one was until its nose got re-shaped) and have to say that is definitely the first Matt red 370 roadster I have seen
  7. Hmmmmm OP, you could play at him at his own game there. Two things. If you didn't mention what your working was day was that could be 9 to 4 , but if more realistically you are like most of the trades I have used start is normally 8/8.30 and finish at 4/4.30. And in my book if they finish early and the job done is good - good luck to them, as quite often on other jobs delays can crop up (i.e. material availiability not checked beforehand ) which can mean they take longer than expected, but that is their misfortune. Unless it is something byond their reasonable control and is negotiated while the the job is in progress. Hope you do get the money you quoted, but if he continues to be a pig, not worth losing sleep over and just make sure you don't help him again and your friend knows why that will be the case
  8. Yes as a cruiser they don't come much better for getting from A to B effortlessly, but it comes into its own when pushing on along B roads and really the mpg is going to take a dive, and all depending of course what you are doing with your right foot. Having seen many before you worry about the mpg but taking the plunge we have then seen sales soon follow on due to the running costs as they are not exactly cheap cars to run and given 350's are least 5 years old now going onto 12 years old so invariably wear and tear items, aside from any unexpected costs, will all add up. Deepish pockets then
  9. If you are driving it to be enjoyed then the title of your thread should be: MPG - I know it goes down a lot.
  10. Thread tided at request of OP and having adjusted his description of the cargo net.
  11. Will have to check that out
  12. Do you know another 370 owner in your neck of the woods to compare if your wiper action is different?
  13. Having just sold my car I found out that when you send the V5C to DVLA with the green section filled about the sale they will repay the (former) owner the outstanding 'unused' full months. When.......now that we shall see........
  14. For a collector I suppose....
  15. Yes, but you recently confirnmed in post 25 that you have no sat nav, hence why you do not have the full function.
  16. Quality
  17. When I mentioned the auto/intermittent function they are one and the same in terms of what is on the stalk and what is on the page. The handbook page I attached above was from a 2011 version and the book still does not mention the rear wiper exists anyway, like you said . The windscreen sensor decides, if you have the setting on auto/intermittment switched on, when to kick the wipers on and the timing can be calibrated by Nissan, or possibly the sensor can play up so as not to work as you might expect and that would be a replacement job. Looking at your pic above, when you turn the dial with the graduations on (in the middle of the stalk) that detrmines the wiper frequencey when it is on the auto/intermittent setting - yes? To its right the single marking and the 3 options including OFF relate solely to the rear wiper operation. But has your car got the Sat Nav - seeing the note in (1) on the page I posted, as that does say the speed on auto/intermittent does not vary on those cars without it?
  18. Doesn't matter how many of the boxes you want ticked it rarely works out, but as you are finding you are not going to get a lot for your money in Surrey and especially if you want land for your animals. Maybe somewhere out in Hampshire/Sussex that offers an easy commute to Mr Two Bears place of work and Heathrow/Gatwick is a thought?
  19. Auto/intermittent are the same thing - the explanation how it works is in (1) on the handbook page I posted ^^^.
  20. You have got intermittent/auto wipers. But in that pic you have it set to the slowest speed so that is undoubtedly the reason for apparently not working, I would suggest. See page from the handbook here: 2011-Nissan-370Z handbook - wipers.pdf
  21. Well, as you Scots decided to stay with us Brits thought we would like to show we are one happy family Be good to have your input Neil - welcome aboard

    lost keys

    Have you checked your insurance, and don't you have breakdown cover that would save on the £50 recovery truck fee?
  23. Good find Check out the bathrooms in the Z-tune category and

    lost keys

    I believe so, apart from whether there is an issue registering the key with the car's alarm/immobiliser, but why not ring them to find out for sure? Also, check your insurance - you may find the cost is covered without affecting your NCB
  25. Last thing I did before I left the car with Nino was to remove the snooper - didn't want to, er, get caught out on my last drive And yes Nino knows it was an S4
