i recently emailed them and ended up getting someone called Lauren replying. They are now charging 75+vat per hour labour increased from jan. not sure if this is discounted or just the standard rate? Also for a P3 it’s £260 which includes brake fluid change. https://www.infiniti.co.uk/centre-locator/infiniti-glasgow.html?utm_medium=other&utm_content=UKOW183GPS28222&utm_campaign=fy18_q3_google-paid-search-uk&dcp=psn.non.HMP.UKOW183GPS28222.google.leadgen_infiniti&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7oew3_zz3gIVTrHtCh0rlwVhEAAYASAAEgLd3PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Appears the team has changed, and Marie n Kelly are no longer listed?

Hi, Anyone still using Infiniti Glasgow for servicing? Are they still providing discounted rates for club members? Just curious what the hourly rates are.....if anyone had recent work done. Cheers

So far the estimated 700 for the track rod ends on both sides is already a push also got a p2 to through in there... When you mention ball joints, surely they are part of the track rod end. Unless you're talking about other ball joint parts...

Thanks...have PM Ewen for prices. Did a forum search, and surprised there's little chat on the subject of replacements/aftermarkets....so possibly most would just stick with the standard Genuine Nissan ones?

The garage is an independent, but asked them to quote us Nissan parts to get an idea on costs. You had these rod ends replaced? Did you do both sides at the same time? If I get the Nissan parts they'd be the same price as quoted, unless there are cheaper and more superior aftermarkets that others are using on the forum? Any suggestions please....

Hi, Had an Mot advisory for some play developing on the front nearside track rod end ball joint. But not really noticed any knocking noises as such...so might be early signs. I've got a p2 service due and now looking to get this issue recitifed. I was recently quoted 97+vat for the part alone (Genuine Nissan); I assume this is just for a single side. And about 55+vat for labour plus an extra 55+vat for 4 wheel alignment after. A couple of questions... 1) although it appears to be only one side affected, is it best practice to get the track rod ends replaced across both sides at the same time? 2) what's the standard labour time for replacing one side of the track rod end? I believe the price I was quoted is about 1 hr. That sound about right? 3) Is there better aftermarket options available, and at a cheaper rate compared with the Nissan ones? Looks like it's gonna be rather pricey, pair of Nissan ones at 200+vat, 110+vat (2hr) labour and 55+vat for alignment stretching it to almost 700 Thanks, HY Just looking to get some advice and options?

Aye knew it mention the 10 day max....but was curious if anyone had it go quicker? Only half way, so will wait and see....

Interesting, how long does yours take to go from step 7 to 8? It's the first time I've used, so naturally thought something's not rite, or an indication that my battery is duff?

Had the charger on since Sunday (almost 5 days running)...but still sitting on step 7? Waiting for it to move to step 8? Any ideas? Does it mean the battery is unable to charge fully?

This is my 2nd battery. The oem one lasted for 7 years. Recharged the battery again in recond mode. Took just over 4hrs and now on step 7. Will it really take up to 10 days at this stage until it reaches step 8?

Thanks just got one today. The car hasn't been used in a week, so ran the battery test and got a bad status back. But car still started ok, probably just voltage is slowly degrading. Just charging her up now, and within a few minutes it had jumped to stage 4.. Can I ask for the recond mode. Does one need to do this? In the past my battery has not drained to such a state that there's zero charge. It's more likely it's lost charge slightly below the 12v threshold that's required to start the car. The car sits unused for longer periods these days due a recent change in work circumstances (train commutes); so the car sits unused for longer periods. The battery is about 3 years old now. So will there be any benefit or need to add a recond step in my situation? Might be wrong but guessing it's only used when the battery is drained to zero etc. I assume you can recond anytime even if the battery is well charged? Cheers..

Aye, seemed like a daft question as I assumed it would be fine to charge it indoors at first. But having read the pdf manual, and noticed that the safety notes mentions that 1) during charging it requires proper ventilation 2) battery being charged could emit explosive gases. Prevent sparks close to the battery..etc http://www.ctek.com/Archive/ProductManualPdf/MXS%205.0%20Test%20and%20Charge_EN.pdf Hence that's why I wanted to check it was still appropriate to use this indoors (enclosed garage w gas boiler). Otherwise it'd be a bit of a hassle having to repark the car outside for charging, and having to get extension cables routed out etc.

Hi, Not been able to use the Z much these days, and have it parked in the garage. However, recently experienced start issues due to battery drain and general lack of use. I'm thinking of getting a trickle charger to keep the battery topped up. It seems some have gone for Ctek. Looking to get the Ctek MXS5.0? As I have the car parked indoors (double garage), for safety reasons is it fine to have such a unit connected up, charging and unattended in an enclosed garage? We have a gas boiler in the corner and the Z parked adjacent to it. Or must you charge outdoors, as I doubt the standard cables would be long enough.

Oem one at £200ish. ... Anyone gone the aftermarket route for replacement and any comments? Details and cost please ??
