Standard back box for sale... Came off a 2005 car, original UK part was on the car for about 5000miles. Will accept any sensible offers but buyer would have to collect from Peterborough.. Give me a shout, if anyone is interested!

I have recently had a new screen fitted, its a UK car, which does have a tinted screen.. Apparently, I cant say I can tell a huge difference, but its there. Now its fitted you would never know.. RAC windscreeens did a great job, courtesy of the insurance company!

I think the Zed has held its value really well over the past two years, its only in the last 2 months that I have had any concern that its taken a real hit. Having said that, your all probably right, the country is getting more expensive at the moment. That credit crunch thing going on!! Groan!

Has anyone noticed a massive drop in value on the 350s?? Im not sure if its just that autotrader has a few cheap ones on at the moment, but I'm fairly sure in the month since I last checked mine has dropped a chunk!!??

I have had mine for three years now, never a drip in!! Have to say have had cars in the past that have leeked, always found if you stick a bit of lubricant around all the seals that helps out a load!!

Im never getting more than 380 miles to a tank in mine... Im not heavy footed, well not that often anyway!! Do some of the Zeds have a larger tank or something? What am I missing out on! lol

Well... Ive been fine with it for ages... Its only when I found myself stuck in heavy crawling traffic for an age and I re set the computer thingy.... That said i was doign 8MPG... Which really was a bit of a shocker.. Your all right though, on a carefull run it does say abotu 28MPG so I should complain too much.. It just makes me wonder how the other makes get their cars to sip it sooo carefully!

Thanks for that.. I will have to have another look! Always shocking when they say they cant find whats wrong!!

Just just looking at all the performance figures for lots of different cars.. I started to notice the 350s look like they are all a bit on the thirsty side.. Wondering if im just getting tight at the pumps with super now well over £1-? Things like the BMW Z4 (3.0) give almost the same power per tonne out, but claim to offer almost a third more MPG. Ok I dont like the BMW nearly as much BUT!!

Really odd...... Suspension, brakes, wheel barings, ball joints have all been checked and they say they cant find anything wrong! Still makes the noise though! Its a mystery!

Sounds like its coming from the front end of the car, underneath really. It does sounds quite low. Cant really say if its left or right.

That did cross my mind as well.. But theres nothing obvious to roll about.. Will have another hunt around, but i think it sounds a bit mechanical.

Bit of a funny noise coming from the Yaris... When you brake firmly theres a 'clunk' noise.... Doesnt make that noise any other time and theres no other problems with the brakes that I can feel. Theres no lose of braking, and no pulling at all. Anyone have any ideas what this could be?? Sounds a bit worrying!

If you have the Bose head unit, you can program the time to display there, presuming the presets are the same in the UK. Give me a clue.. How do you do this?

Makes me wonder what mine is worth.. Same car only a year older!

I really hate the fact the dash lights come on as soon as you start the car... They should only come on when I switch the lights on!! Arrghh!

Not sure what you all think...... But given the recent rumours about a hard top convertable, this looks like it could be in the running.... If you look at the photo again, you can see a line to the top of the rear window that looks like it goes across the roof (yeah i know there isnt one at the front) but could be the start of the convertable production. If not that, maybe a t- top?? Just a thought!

I might just not be tooo far away! Your not the silver roadster I keep seeing about the city?

ANPR sounds about right.... Having said that there are a lot of white CCTV systems in a lot of road works.

Dont laugh.. But a Toyota Yaris diesel is a smasing little car... ok its very small, but it will do over 60 MPG, it sits in almost the bottom road tax bracket... and as a run around its really fairly zippy! Ok its got a bit of a blue rinse image, but you would be surprised at how good it is!

I have to agree.. The current roadster looks a bit iffy with the roof up.. Having said that, its a cracker with it down!! I have to say, the current roadster has less bufferting than my last Porsche Boxster.. Would almost go as far as to say its better planted on the road too!.

It was a really good mini report about it.. Only thing was, it was way too short! VBH sounded like she liked it.. Well loved it, she was gushing over it1

The only problem with a complex foling system is that it will go wrong that much more often.. The soft top mech' that they have now isnt the most reliable! I really like the idea of it, but it would have to be tested to destruction first! If anyone gets any pics of this new design i would be interested.

I quite like the sound of it.. Having said that, there have been no pictures or sketches of what this would look like.. The other thing Im not sure where they could store a metal roof, not without loosing the already small boot thats on a roadster.. Im interested all the same!

Just bought a pair of new wiper blades from www.wiperblades.co.uk Really good service, they delivered them within a day, and they still cost half the price of Halfords. They do have a selection of brands, no PIA ones (or whatever they are called) but not bad all the same!
