  1. Good result. You would think that they would learn by now that offering you a competitive price to get your business and then hiking it up the following year, just doesn't work
  2. 06.30 am Still dark here at that time and that's without the rain to contend with
  3. Definately sounds like fuel pump to me. Quite normal
  4. Sounds obvious, but do you/they have that in writing from NMGB? Very easy way to get them to back off. They normally run scared when you want it in writing as then they cant deny it Good call. I haven't seen it in writing so shall request that on my next visit.
  5. Could be interesting - depending upon the price of course.
  6. Excellent value for money in my opinion. I wouldn't want one for everyday use, but for the odd sunny weekend blast and track days it would be a lot of fun.
  7. Anyone know the exact UK price yet?
  8. Totally unacceptable IMHO. Why aren't you banging the dealer's door down, they must know there are issues with some Rev-Up engines and oil - are they monitoring it for you or something? [i apologise if I haven't seen a thread where you have said that you have been to the dealers every day for the last 6 months, dressed as spiderman and have been holding his children to ransom since August ] Haven't had much luck with the dealer to be honest Dorian. They are of the opinion that it is within acceptable limits that Nissan define as being up to 1 ltr of oil consumption per 1000 miles. Well, why am I not surprised at their attitude. But step back for a moment, at that rate of use, it that means you would run completely out of oil TWICE between services And if you went on a European trip, I reckon it would be quite possible to run up 2000-3000 miles and you'd be compromised on oil. Besides, its probably getting bloody expensive to fill up with petrol AND oil, its not an RX8 for heavens sake I know it may not be easy or practical, but get it to another dealer, one who is more enlightened (they do exist); what's better, a long trip to the dealer every 9k miles or a blown motor with all the legal ramifications of proving who's to blame? Good advice. It's coming up for it's first P2 shortly so I'll have another go at them then and if they don't play ball this time, I shall try another dealer.
  9. About as effective as a chocolate fire guard I would have thought

  11. You can see my comments on the thread that Digsy posted, but essentially my car has used around 0.5 ltr per thousand miles since day one and it is currently on 14k with no indication of any change.
  12. Looks stunning in Yellow Kev. Much better than my Mate's in red. You are going to have to be patient with the running in though as they don't really get going before 6000 rpm and that's a no no until you've done a few miles. Needs a small front number plate to finish it off

  14. PMSL This paragraph in particular cracked me up: "The quad exhaust has been hand made from stainless steel to replicate the exact noise and look of the real thing and this goes for the genuine 355 wheels with new tyres. The car has fully adjustable suspension to lower the height and replicate the dimensions and handling of the real 355. "
  15. This forum is worth checking out http://www.exiges.com/
  16. The guy who turned up to fit the carpet seemed quite impressed that it was to a garage wall rather than to the lounge - but I decided against underlay My garage is carpeted on the floor!! +1. Mind you since I spend quite a bit of time working on my race car in there, I like to have a bit of creature comfort.
  17. Don't forget me Beat you to it, Sarnie. See my previous post
