Chris`I

Very impressive chap. I hope you are taking one of his kidneys as payment! Thats one hell of a job. I nearly killed myself just going over mine with a DA polisher and thats soft Nissan paint and light correction. This is truely a mamoth job! Looking forward to some finished engine bay shots

Yup, I told him that loads of times He just wants more noise! Ad: Went back to TGM today and Tom rebled the brakes. Got a bit of air out of it and now I've reset the brake pedal position (was out of spec according to service manual), brakes are all good Also told him you'd be after de-cats soon!

I like my heated and electric seats over Recaro

Good man Anybody else travelling up on the Tuesday? We might be

Classic

Jim, get the tracking done after you’ve fitted your new tyres… +1

Yup or CAB ( http://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/ ). So long as you have dated photos with measurements then you shouldnt have a problem claiming it. Hate bloody potholes and man covers with a vengence. My mates dad went over a man hole cover which was 2" deep and threw him off his CBR. Was a nasty incident which needen't have happened

what did he expect to acheive?!

Its not actually metal mate, its just plastic with a silver coating. What you need to do is remove the 2 pieces that are directly to the side of them (looking from above). These can be quite fiddly but you can pry them from the centre of the car back towards the respective side of the car and they will come out from under the other bits of trim that overlap. Sounds like you've done them already. Then you need to loosen the big bits to the back and front of it (if looking from behind the car into the boot). The bits that swoop from one side to the other from the boot floor up the strut to the other side of boot floor in one big piece. You only need to loosen these in the middle where the silver cover is. They are on several poppers so go careful or you might break them. Use a trim removal tool or at a push a screwdriver in by where the poppers are. Just make sure you dont snap the lugs. Then the silver bit should be good to just pull out, nothing holding it in from what I remember. I had to do it when re-trimming mine in Alcantara

1. martinmac 2. Chris`I 3. 4. Tell her to get the beers in, this sailing melarky is hard work!

Bin it dude. Never been a fan of having brands on non-branded items. Bit "try hard" if you know what I mean.

Could it not just be the wires for the airbag? Maybe they think they are heated as there are wires? Or maybe they are heated I guess if it was a JDM option. Definately dont look like the GT leccy seats though!

I think the pump for the washer jets are bolted pretty much directly to the water bottle below them. So removing one would disable the headlight washer for the passenger side.

Do you mean the plastic bit of trim on the strut in the middle? Its just poppers I think that hold it in. Or there may be nothing holding it down. Just need to take of the plastic around it. Oh you do need to do the side bits that come up and aound from the boot floor though, they hold the side of it to the top of the strut.

Nice to know, I'll send him a message at some point then

Any indication on price? I'm hopefully going to get some plain seats off Andy so I can send mine away. I want to get an indication of price as CS is quite a trip from me and local places might be able to do it cheaper. Phil was previously the cheapest, wish I had done it back then

What you guys need is a little friend called a valve core remover. Use said friend on said prats cars and they soon learn their lesson

Just to bump this thread. I got annoyed at my recolour leather wearing through, so thought I would see how much one of their kits are for the zed. Now given this is just for the leather and you have to fit it yourself, you might want to sit down.... £565 + VAT Bit more than I was expecting! I've been told I can get it all done and fitted for not much more than that! I guess given their site says 2 seater sports cars start at £295, I was expecting us to have a price around there! This is nearly 2x as much

Its because the export of the old DB was in one character set and the import in another. Confused it a little bit. See the posts above

Is that her in your profile pic

I'm going across too Was impressed with your island hopping

Hope you're on commision chap

As the others have said, Motordyne is the most reliable I have heard of (and the one I have!). If installed correctly it will not invalidate your warrenty. Only way it will invalidate it is if you fit it incorrectly and it causes damage. No loss of torque at all, but it doesnt really add owt at top end either. Its all about getting more mid-range torque and you can defiantely feel it. Its not a lot, but make daily driving easier to pottle around.

Thats a real shame, it was a lovely car. I was so excited sitting in the drivers seat starting it up I am glad Phil got to experience it before his turn though, as he was originally holding out for a UK car which he never would have seen or driven.
