Thank you!

Hello!

I'm had my 350Z for 15 years now I used to get it serviced at the main dealer in Reading but it's not *that* convenient anymore plus costs were high.

Does anyone have any independent garage recommendations in the Berkshire/Bracknell area?

The work I need done is:

• Rear shocks
• Rear left wheel bearing
• Pads and discs (front and rear)

Thanks!

Kenny

I agree with Chris on Dan Perkins in Slough. I've had 3 services with them and had no problems, they have been very courteous and their prices have been reasonable, after some negotiating

I've just had a P3 done as well as full pad and fluid change at Dan Perkins in Slough and been pleased with the service.

Oh and thanks again to Big Phil for supplying the Ferodo pads and brake fluid so quickly

Brake fluid cap screwed in correctly?

They need to get this plate to match it

Cheers pal.

Excellent work Mike. I just called them and there's more than 10 units available (as advertised on the ebay link). Just to clarify, you are responsible for removal and refitting, Clarion don't do it for you.

Phil, does that include the forum discount ?

I'm also considering SS brake lines and dot 5.1 fluid since I'm about to go on a trip to the Alps, think it would really be worth it? Some heavy breaking to be done going down the Alpine passes

I spotted and waved at a Kuro JDM yesterday morning in Bracknell, at the roundabout near the Blue Mountain Golf Course, nothing in return, nada. That's par for the course round here it seems....

Finally managed to get a pair of Toyos, £139 each, gone up a bit since last year. I'll have to try out the Pilot Sports next time Trev.

Thanks but they're approximately £50 more per tyre. Didn't get a price on the F1 asymmetrics though as I needed two.

What is it with the scarcity of 245/45/R18 tyres these days?! Took me ages to find someone with Toyo T1-R's. Ideally I wanted to try Eagle F1 asymmetrics but there's only one available in the country! Crazeee!

According to Nissan the CD version does not exist after 2004, all their, or xanavi's in fact, efforts went on the DVD version.

What a bunch of ar$e

That sounds like a great idea....just need to find someone that has a backup copy

He tries he fails again

It's a 2004 and it's not a DVD it's a CD version

When I got the car all it had was a UK CD

Still no-one?

Has ANYONE got European maps on CD??

I saw the exact same Lambo at the Olde Leathern Bottle in Wokingham today at lunchtime, thought it was Sarnie but guess not.

You can get a reconditioned one from Nissan and/or Clarion, can't remember exactly how much but it's in the region of £350....or if you want to go new it's around £1000 (ouch)!

I'm currently using one of these connected to my Nokia N95 for my music pleasure, dirt cheap to

I need a working standard one to

I'm with shire, I want to keep bluetooth, satnav and steering controls!

My wife had my car last week while she was on a course in Bristol and came back with a dent in the same place, rear wheel arch, on the crease, just below the petrol cap Not her fault, some careless ****er opening their door on it.

CD's stuck in the changer, car out of warranty (2004 GT model). So it was sent of for "repair" only to be told they can't repair it but instead they get a factory refurbished unit at a cost of £250+VAT plus £58 for just looking at it

 

Can anyone confirm the model number of the unit is Clarion PP2596L?

 

I don't really want to lose the functionality of the BT phone unit or the steering wheel controls but if I go for an after market unit that's going to happen right?

 

It's not certain you will lose the steering wheel controls. I would say that for a little more than that you could get yourself and Alpine unit that also has bluetooth phone kit, and the Sound Gallery are working on getting the steering wheel controls to work for me.....

Hmmm High Wycombe, not too far. Can you let me know how you get on with it? I might take the car to them and see what they can do with a different head unit.

Cheers,

Kenny
