Apologies Scoobie and everyone Ive mistakingly posted this on the wrong forum, it should be on the 370 side.....I'm getting old you see ha ha

Any bright sparks figured a way of achieving this, if so do tell !!

My daughter has the same Bluetooth audio connectivity problem from her iPhone 5s. It keeps skipping and dropping out, useless. The Apple tech guy said to create at least 500 Mb space on the phone to help with the problem but still the same. Has anyone taken issue with Nissan over this obvious fault?

Well all done now. The arm cost £143 and the whole job £277 and I now have a brand new MOT to file. Panic now over and into the blue yonder for me!

Bloody hell that must have been a close shave if the engine began to make noises for the lack of oil. i couldn't download the recording either to my iPad.

Not aware of any guide. I had a bit of rust on my rear wheel arches and had it cut out. The guy that did the work flooded the arches with wax oil during th work. The only way I could imagine it being possible would be to drill a hole on the inside of the boot to allow access to the wheel arches and spray the wax oil in then plug up the hole.

As it happens the car seems to drive fine Alex, unless I've just got used to it. I recall getting an advisory on this some years ago, around 5 yr I think and when I looked at the workshop manual and saw that its drawn bent I just assumed it was right, apparently not. Wheel alignment & tracking WOW, I'm a pensioner now you know!! Suppose I can't complain though the only other non rust related expense I've had in all this time was to replace a coil pack. It's been a bloody good car and I still love it an want to have its babies ha ha

Buggar just booked the car in Alex to have it done. Attempted to loosen the securing bolts with my breaker bar but not much space under the ramps. The bolts are well rusted and frightened I might round the nut so thought I'd take the hit and have it done. To old to be crawling under cars these days especially on potentialy nightmare jobs. couple of pics below, the offending off side link and the near side link

Anyone have a photo of this part because the stealers wants £143 for it, none of them have it in stock and if bought it can't be returned and I don't know if the bend in mine is as it should be or distorted?? a photo would really help

The front edge of the bonnet under the rubber sealing strip is prone to rusting. I have smeared Vaseline on mine for some years now and it's still ok but wax oil would be better

The near side rear does have a slight bend in it while the offside (fail side) one appears to be bent more. Can't think how it can have happened other than careless garage mechanics because I know I would never jack the car up there. Given the bar is quite thick (poss 15mm dia or so) I can't imagine I could have ran over anything either without hearing it. Must have been a mentally challenged mechanic then? Tryed a breaker bar on the badly rusted bolts but chickened out when it wouldn't give , so will let the garage have this one to do me thinks! Does Tarmac/ other supply these ?

Apparently the offside rear suspension component "Front Lower Link" item 22 in attached diagram is apparently "severely bent" The attached diagram seems to indicate that its supposed to be bent. Can anyone confirm if it does have a bend in it and if any of the forum traders can supply one?

Looking to install an oil pressure gauge somewhere in the car so anyone know the spec and/or supplier of a suitable 'T' piece adaptor to fit an oil pressure sensor. Thinking of removing the oil press switch from the oil filter/pump assembly, screwing in the 'T' piece adaptor, re fitting the pressure switch to one of the adaptor ports then screwing in the new pressure sensor to another port. Any advice from those who supply or have done this mod would be most appreciated. OR is there a better way?

Thanks lads

Anyone know what the reading should be from a hot engine at idle, mine is about 96 degC How does this compare?

Sorry for the delay. Yep my 350 net appears to be to big in the 370 with lots of slack.

I would revisit Foundry Alloys and suggest to them that you will arrange for a third party inspection of the match, typically by AA, RAC or Nissan main dealer and if they agree with him then you will accept the wheels and pay his price. However they agree with you then he must pay for any third party costs and redo your wheels to your satisfaction. ps I'm sure there is equipment available in the car paint match industry which would show up any mis match. GET TOUGH and don't stand for shoddy service.

I'm pretty sure my 350 net doesn't fit my daughters 370

Flocking hell what a good idea!!!

Interesting. Isn't life just full of such pleasurable little mysteries to keep us from getting bored!!! I wonder if this could be a static build up problem. I'm thinking that the speedo "glass" may be in fact some sort of plastic and by touching it your transferring the static charge into yourself or grounding it, thereby removing some static field around the display (sounds quite Star Trekish me thinks). In sure Scotty would ask, "Does the display return to faulty as soon as you remove your finger or does it work OK for a while" ?

One has come to wish that one had not pointed this out to one cos now one notices every little dribble these incontinent little dickey birds deposit on ones pride and joy. As one is now retired and seeing as how one has lots of spare time and how one also has a nice apple tree in the garden, often frequented by these unreasonable little pests, ones deranged mind is now turning to revenge and thinking how one could climb ones apple tree to the very top, stay very still and quite then at the opportune moment CRAP ON THOSE LITTLE BUGGARS AND SEE HOW THEY LIKE SHOVELLING @*!# FOR A CHANGE......HA HA HA HA OOOOOOW HA HA. Wouldn't life be worth living again... if only!!!

Bastards like this should have their hands cut off, extreme I know but it would stop thefts overnight. Why should a responsible person who goes out to work and saves hard to buy the car they want have a nice experience ruined by people like this. We're way to lienient in this country to the extent where the honest person has to be vigilant, looking over their shoulder the whole time. Why can't we have the thieves on the back foot for a change. They are generally no hopers who if caught get a severe finger wagging or a little community service then go out and do it again. Imagine one of these arse wipes going into the local pub with a hand chopped off. His mates asks "bloody hell what happened to you" ....."well I broke into a car and nicked some plastic bits"..."and they chopped off your hand" ..."yep".... Local crime would fall to zero over night and the rest of us could get on with a peaceful life. Apologies for the rant and language but this sort of of thing really pisses me off. Hartley sorry for you young man!!

I would guess there could be several possible causes, and without seeing a circuit diagram I can only offer the following help. Given that the wiper motor is a high current device it will probably be directly driven by a relay which in itself wouldn't be directly influenced by your remote.I would guess the motor relay would be driven by a cpu output. If you leave the wiper mid travel and the rear wiper switch on when you switch the ignition off then I can only assume that operating the remote causes a transitory output from the cpu to momentarily operate the wiper motor driving relay. This could possible be corrected by placing a small value capacitor (0.1Mf) on the output of the cpu but If it worked would only be masking the real problem. My first thought would be to check the earthing or ground connections around the relevant cpu. The obvious answer though is to turn off your rear wiper properly before switching off the ignition Im not a qualified electronics expert but know a little (a dangerous combination ha ha) so hope it helps.

That sounds LOW to me. My car's an 04 and and I'm pretty sure at low speeds the gauge reads about 30 while at higher speeds it reads around 60, I'll double check. Be aware of the useless dip stick. I find I have to take several dips before I'm sure the oil level is ok. The dip stick seems to get smeared and it's difficult to tell on one reading. I'ts my belief that you could be fooled into believing your level is ok when it's in fact low!!
