I was No 42 last week, now I'm No 25. I'm hoping to get into the top 10 in next weeks charts....

I came in with a bullet at 40 and after a week I've hit No.8. A top ten placing after a week. Wonder if I can make the top five

Parked right next to all the big boys expensive toys: BMW's Range Rover Sport, etc

Can you please add me +1 to the list

 

I sure can Is this a definate confirmation and carvery for 2?

Sure is

Can you put me down for 2x carvery pls

Can you please add me +1 to the list

This is the best picture I have of the underside of a Zed. I have the same problem but my drive catches on the two black plastic panels in the middle of the car.

I'm sure he does Bosch and PIAA

I believe its a first year hit on new cars of £1k then it reverts to £400 thereafter. There will also be seven car bands. What with the extra 2p/l on fuel as well the govt really don't want us to own anything other than a pedal car!!

Try one of these: http://www.handnav.co.uk/proclip_select2.php?id=70

I used one to fit my Denison Ice link for my Ipod.

I really like freashly baked granary bread, soft cream cheese spread thickly , thin strips of fresh scottish salmon finished with lemon juice and black pepper.

Give Performance Friction pads a go from Big Phil. No squeal, very little brake dust and best of all great stopping power.

Now my car is over 3 years old the Nissan Assistance breakdown cover has run out. This service was provided by RAC and I have had to use it once and it was superb in my hour of need. So I rang the RAC for renewal and they gave me another number to contact (0870 1650973). What a crackin' deal I have just got: they've extended the cover, equivalent to at least RAC Solution 4 which gives Roadside assistance, Nationwide recovery, At Home and Onward relay, online price £128 for ..........£144 for 2 years. I think that's a great deal unless someone knows better...............

Worth giving them a call if you 3 years is up or coming to an end.

As I mentioned in my post I really like Colin Hoad at CAT

http://www.catdrivertraining.co.uk/

The training is mostly done at Millbrook Proving Ground which is a superb facility. You might even get to see something new from the car industry!!

IMO changes in performance must start with the driver. You need to be taught how to push the Zed to it's limits to experience it's limits of grip and cornering ability and what to expect in those conditions. From that point you will be able understand if you want or need to improve. This can be accomplish by taking performance driver lessons (I did mine with CAT training as Coiln was one of the drivers employed by Nissan to fully test the Zed in Germany) and this will open your eyes into the Zed's capabilities.The next stage is then to improve the braking performance. Again following fitting take further lessons to explore the full potential of your buy. Thirdly I would then go down the route of replacing the suspension with new ie, KW or Tein etc backed with futher education. Forthly then go down the route of further stiffening if you need but there will always be a trade off between still being road usable and a track setup.

I cannot stress the importance of the driver training in the right environment to fully experience your Zed and the changes that your make to it. Best of all its bloody good fun while learning!!!!

I always use Motul 300v which in the past I have got from Guy at www.opieoils.co.uk my zed loves it. I know other Zed owners who like Miller oils or Silkolene

This policy sounds tooo good to be true...

 

especially this part"Wear and Tear included atfer 90 days policy inception"

 

no warranty company will sanction this, if they do I think everyone should take one out before they go bankcrupt

I am not in the habit of misleading people. The details I have listed are directly from a written quotation from Warranty Direct. If you wish to check for yourself :

I remember playing Thunder and Lightning as a kid, jublee's at playing football all day, scrumping for apples and strawberries in the Churchyard, sugar sandwiches, and when I got a older getting into a nightclub, 10 No6 cigarettes and a pint of bitter all for a quid on a saturday night!!

I had some problems recently after having having a new exhaust fitted. The problem was 'hunting' as if the throttle cable was stuck!. Even after trying an ECU reset the car when to 'limp' mode. Anyway the resultant problem was diagnosed as a faulty throttle pedal sensor. Warranty job in the end.

Give Big Phil a call I'm sure he will be able to help you.

I'm sure BigPhil replaced his reflectors with mesh and will pop up soon with a picture for you.

i hope Alonso joins NASCAR

I think that generally we are missing the point of Paul's question.

What makes a good winter tyre, not what you use most of the time. Alot depends on the area of the country that you live in. In Paul's case Scotland, which in itself is big enough to get a variety of extreme weather. Generally Scotland has a higher level of rainfall compared to England so should his tyres have good grip in the wet and good levels of water dispersion? Scotland also has a higher chance of winter conditions so should this be taken into consideration?

As these conditions are the most hazardous that we would encounter when driving surely the quality and performance of the tyre be just as important as when we drive in better weather but pushing the car more to grip limits that are more predictable?

Food for thought?
