  1. +1 on what the others said. Fine to run on 95RON, but if you can get 98RON or better the car will be happier, as I find I get better MPG which offsets the extra cost of the better stuff
  2. That doesnt sound good! I always assumed that when you push the switch it manually opens the latch or pushes the mechanism. If you cant do that by hand I assume something is jammed. You may still be able to remove enough around the door handle area to get a bit of a looksie at some of the mech. Not sure how I'd go about fixing it, dare I say it, you migh need a stealer
  3. Right back on topic... after staying at the Macdonal "Portal" Hotel at Wales, Amanda and I think that the Macdonal Crutherland House is worth the extra expense over a Travel Lodge or Premier Inn According to google maps its about 4hrs on the first leg from Chester area to the hotel, then 3.5hrs to do the final stint to FA. Sounds about right to me
  4. Excellent work
  5. Nice work there Bex! Will get Amanda onto it, shes chief accomodation officer We are thinking of staying somewhere near north Wales for a couple of days prior to setting off for Scotland on the Tuesday, so are easy on where we stop. I'm sure Amanda will have a preference out of that lot though
  6. Paints4u do a cracking stone chip repair kit. I use it on the biggest stone chips on my car and its the first kit I've found that perfectly matches GM. The kits come with excellent little applicators that mean you dont blob the paint in, you just put the bare minimum in. Works very well.
  7. Castle for two sir???? Dont give her ideas Luckily the winner at the moment is about £50 a night for the 2 of us
  8. Me and Amanda are now looking into other B&Bs after she saw a few on the net. I can see this getting expensive
  9. As Nick said, just bolt it to a bit of the chasis that is already there with a bolt in it. There are quite a few places around there if you remove the trim. Mine ended up on one near the rear ciggy lighter IIRC.
  10. Sorry missed this earlier. Yes got loads of LED bulbs from him, he sent me quite a few in the end to test them when I mentioned that people on here were looking fo the brightest ones. Seems a nice chap, and he definately sends them out from HK, but dont worry, they all got to me safe and sound. And yes they make it through the MOT just fine if you get the one in the first link, its by far the brightest.
  11. Yes, Chris and Ian helped me out finding an MOT friendly one, see other thread... http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=23242 Yup, mines been through an MOT with a clear lense and a LED bulb. I was massively concerned the first time, but its fine
  12. Quite a few of the traders on here do it. Matt@i4detailing does us a discount and he sells it Waxes - http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/waxes.html Dodo Supernatural (the dogs danglies!) - http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/D ... 0ml_1.html
  13. Good question. If it doesnt I'm tempted to crack open my spare OEM light, remove the lense and see it as a clear indicator cluster
  14. Asad... Ooh, really, didnt know that. Thanks chaps EDIT: Seems he never signed up as a trader, so better do it through eBay
  15. Mate you are going to make a lot of new friends with that! When I got my clear light off Phil, it was pretty cheap, but they are mucho expensive these days. Should save a few people a few quid! Top work
  16. removed em and painted em myself... I was looking to get these - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/350Z-Emblem-Kit-Z ... 7C294%3A50
  17. Looks nice Any closer pics? Did you paint the 350z one yourself or does Sarah have black ones too? I've been after changing all my badges to black chrome ones
  18. He obviously moves around a lot Hes a registered user from Hong Kong and thats where my one came from. You can change the item location easy enough. Out of interest, was the original link from eBay US and not UK (i.e. was it an International Seller with the item on eBay US?). Its normally a ploy so when you say local items only it will still come up EDIT: Infact he has some items listed as US, some HK some AU!
  19. +1 though he was in Australia when I bought them He's based in Hong Kong but posts on all the eBays, so does get confusing
  20. Another thumbs up for Dodo. Until you try it you cant compare it to anything else. I've tried Tech Wax, P21S and now onto Dodo SN2. Its in a completely different league. P21S comes close for gloss/wet look, but Dodo brings out the fleck more, lasts waaaaaay longer (main gripe with P21S is it only last a month tops). You will not be disapointed with Dodo Also, I wouldnt go much on pics on here, all the cars are clean so a camera will find it hard to tell the difference between the finishes. Its more down to how good the camera and their operator is and also if the car has been machine polished or has swirls (my car looks a lot better now its been properly polished, more of a difference than any different wax made!). Go check our Detailing World and check out the reviews on there
  21. The first ones you have posted are the ones you want, I've had both and the first are far brighter. Been using mine for over a year now and no problems
  22. Hope you can make it Mike
  23. I'm amazed they still have demo cars out there without the Nissan wheel on. The one we saw at Nissan HQ at the PH Sunday Service had a Nissan wheel
  24. Yes Please. Which junction of which road is this at? Sorry if thats a stupid question. :bye: Dont worry its very easy to find. Its M40 Jct 10, see my previous post of the link of the services to Silverstone. You cant miss the exit as its the one marked Silverstone You just come off there and follow signs for the services I should be there about 7:45am, will try and park somewhere near the back furthers from the entrance. May be a few of us not on the list Thanks Chris Had a feeling there might be. Its ok, we'll be neighbours on the day
