  1. Had the same problem on mine - turns out it was the power steering pump had gone. Most likely cause, however, is air in the system, so try bleeding it properly to start with (it can take a while to get all the air out). There is a thread about it somewhere - have a search.
  2. It was Christmas Day in the workhouse The merriest day of the year The paupers and the prisoners Were all assembled there In came the Christmas pudding When a voice that shattered glass Said, "We don't want your Christmas pudding So stick it there with the rest of the unwanted presents" The workhouse master then arose And prepared to carve the duck He said "Who wants the parson's nose And the prisoners shouted "you have it yourself sir" The vicar brought his bible And read out little bits Said one old crone at the back of the hall "This man gets on very well with everybody" The workhouse mistress then began To hand out Christmas parcels The paupers tore the wrappers off And began to wipe their eyes, which were full of tears The master rose to make a speech But just before he started The mistress, who was fifteen stone Gave three loud cheers and nearly choked herself And all the paupers then began To pull their Christmas crackers One pauper held his too low down And blew off both his paper hat and the man's next to him A steaming bowl of white bread sauce Was handed round to some An aged gourmet called aloud "This bread sauce tastes like it was made by a continental chef" Mince pie with custard sauce was next And each received a bit One pauper said "The mince pie's nice But the custard tastes like the bread sauce we had in the last verse !" The mistress dishing out the food Dropped custard down her front She cried "Aren't I a silly girl" And they answered "You're a perfect picture as always ma'am !" "This pudding ", said the master "It's solid, hard and thick how am I going to cut it ?" And a man cried "Use your penknife sir, the one with the pearl handle" The mistress asked the vicar To entertain his flock He said "What would you like to see ?" And they cried "Let's see your conjuring tricks, they're always worth watching" "Your reverence may I be excused ?" Said one benign old chap "I don't like conjuring tricks I'd sooner have a carol or two around the fire" So then they all began to sing Which shook the workhouse walls "Merry Christmas!" cried the master And the inmates shouted "Best of luck to you as well sir !"
  3. Three years service is a P1, which you've just had done only 2.5 months ago. See here viewtopic.php?f=64&t=32277 Really the dealer should have done a P2 on it before they sold it to you, so I'd check what they did for thir "inspection service" (if anything). I'd wait until 36,000 miles for the next one and then get a P3 (if you want to be completely up to the standard, although a P2 is exactly the same, just cheaper). The fuel filter is maintenance free of the 350 and doesn't need replacing. Oil and filter should be replaced as a matter of course at every service.
  4. Locked now as it's getting boring and predictable.
  5. I was given a Numark USB turntable as a present a few years ago, but I have to say the quality is not that good (not compared to the Rega 3 I use for proper listening). There must be a way of capturing the signal from your usual turntable/amp combo onto a laptop via the right software by now I would have thought. Use the tape output from the amp to the line in/mic socket on your laptop?
  6. Yep, my local is The Stirrup (about 7 miles east of Gainsborough). Just been taken over by the owner again, Hugh, rather than the idiots who had the lease. It's clean now and the beer actually tastes like beer again Still no food though Shameless FB page plug if anyone's interested https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Stir ... 6106737146 Looking forward to the OSH on Saturday Martin
  7. Cheers all Managed a few sherbets in the pub yesterday pm after a full-on roast dinner
  8. The imports do, if you have a JDM and it has the auto logo on the switches you should have one touch Yep, JDMs have auto windows on both sides - the JDM switches also work in UK cars if you put them in. Auto down switches have a white line and "AUTO" written on them.
  9. All dealers/supermarkets etc will have trade insurance to cover anyone driving their cars for test drives and the like. Shouldn't be anything to worry about. Private sellers, now that's different obviously.
  10. As far as I'm aware if you respray a different colour you have to inform the DVLA and, therefore, you would have to inform your insurance company. A wrap doesn't need to be notified to the DVLA but you would still need to tell your insurer as it has to count as a modification? If the V5 was different to the details the insurer has on their system they would probably be none too amused.
  11. Two seen today going to the match and back, and both modded so probably on here somewhere! Didn't get a good look as heading in opposite direction. 1. Blue heading southbound on M6 between junctions 7 and 6 about 1 pm - nice rear spoiler 2. Silver heading south on A46 just south of Newark - looked like a Nismo kit - about 7pm this evening. (Match was boring as hell)
  12. Make sure you use the correct diff and gearbox oil as you will get more problems afterwards than if you just left it alone. Alex is the man to ask about which ones to use; not all generic ones work properly in the Zed.
  13. No timing belt - it's a chain and therefore doesn't need changing
  14. Yeah, Happy Birthday big fella (again)
  15. Hair dryer won't affect the paint. I used one to debadge the 350 and it was fine (dental floss helps as well).
  16. Yep, a moth would cause the sensors to go off. Same happened in my X-Trail - eventually found a spider near the sensors that was walking around at night and setting the alarm off constantly - he won't be doing it again!
