Jimbo, Mine does it too.............but it shouldn't happen. My local dealer said If I wanted it investigated further, I would have to pay for a new clutch if they looked at it and if the gearbox was thought to be faulty, I would have to pay for a replacement up front and they would then approach Nissan for a refund under warranty but could not confirm they would cough up. I will do the job myself when it gets that bad and put a half decent clutch (Sach's) in, thrust bearing (which if you ask me is half of the problem) and pressure plate in. Best of luck with it. Feel for you.

Anyone else like to put their name down or confirm their attendance?

Took out a new 3.2 Quatro TT the other day. Why..................because I could! What a boring car! Well finished, but no roar from the back end. Ideal for your Granny................no wait a minute, not for £35k. Go with the Honda Jazz Grandma!

Ah, so it was you who outbid me! No, well done. I went as high as I thought it was worth.

The thing is his wife (my customer) told him to do it and sod the job! Her words were "we can manage for 6 months". What a lady! He still declined.

One of my customers husbands had a chance of doing it for nothing last year.........yes nothing. The co-driver had pulled out but had paid his money and was happy for someone to fill his space for nothing. Unfortunately, his boss would not give him the time off work to do it. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! My question is how many of us would have said "bye bye job" for a chance to have done it ?

350znismo, From someone who has been in the industry, which alloy brands would you recommend?

How much for shipping?...............WOW

Quite a process though. Imagine there was a production run and they got the settings wrong on the lathe. Back to square one! They wouldnt, what they tend to do is do a dry run first without any material (to make sure there are no completely wrong settings that could break the whole machine) then a second with the material, which then goes through a series of tests to double check everything is as it should be. If not, the process is started again, so they dont really lose out on a lot of material during this stage. I think you took me a bit too seriously here....................well it is Sunday morning

I bet you he has all his Ian Allen Train Spotting Books in mint condition as well PS I bet his back seat has never seen any action...........................well, whilst he has owned the car anyway

I bet some people thought this link was about something else

Thanks for this. These are the photo's that prompted me towards these wheels. Notice his rear offset though if different to that suggested to me by Adam at z1auto. Will enquire.
