  1. someone else that gets their display cabinets from IKEA
  2. I appreciate that Brakes Pads (£148.43) are not warranty due to wear and tear but when the discs (£688.10) wear down and needs replacing before the pads, that is unusual?? what are those prices for full sets of pads or just the rear, same with the discs.
  3. general rule is to match components wherever possible. Lightened flywheel helps engine rev more freely but can result in more noise due to the reduction in mass, the dual mass standard flywheel helps dampen transmission noise.
  4. very doubtfull they will replace discs on warranty. Plenty of options available on discs and pads at much better prices than Nissan.
  5. Clutch wear does vary from driver to driver, longest we have seen is 72k miles on original unit. The standard clutch is actually very strong, unusual for most manufacturers. Just a pointer, if you do feel the clutch slipping stop using the car as once this happens the clutch goes very quickly and damages the flywheel which adds another £350 to the cost.
  6. So is it trade book price that I am after? Hey, every little helps if I'm after a blue car No, price you are after is replacement price ie retail price.
  7. price they have quoted is in fact trade book price, retail would be between £11,500-£12,500K
  8. No cambelt. Average on clutch we have found around 50-55k miles, clutch kit is £250 plus fitting £300. No major expenses as such very reliable car.
  9. For those not looking for a performance upgrade we can now offer Ferodo OEM pads at the following prices. Brembo calipers only Front £52 per set Rear £46 per set
  10. Very well put and I think that mirrors the feelings of the majority.
  11. We dont do cleaning stuff so cant give prices,........... thankfully
  12. I think the fact Ron Dennis asked for clarification immediately after the incident that they had complied with the rules and were given the green light also puts a huge downer on the stewards system.
  13. Now that is nice, credit to you Adam.
  14. Safest to disconnect the battery, leave it for 30mins to fully discharge the system.
  15. They are being particularly active in the north east at the moment. The annoying part is that the reasons they give are to combat terrorism and that misspaced plates restrict their ability to check for suspicious vehicles because the ANPR cameras cant read them which is obviously not true as they have done to be able to send the NIP.
  16. How come it's V1, as it's recent I presumed it would be V2? Is V2 older then??? I'm lost! V1 is the first style but both are still current just down to preference which one you choose. On Marks comment we have yet to see any of them come with the washer cut outs as the headlight washers are a UK thing, certainly none of the replicas such as shine etc dont. When I bought mine, I didn't get the choice!? It does have the washer jets cut out. So would my front bumper be V1 too? Bought from and fitted by Nissan 2 months ago??? If thats a pic of your car in your avatar then its V1.
