Its my horrid postcode that does it (I still fall into a Salford postcode which ranks pretty similar to Iraq). I asked what it would be to insure from my Mum & Dads out of interest and it came back at a far more reasonable £450

Jesus thats v10 BMW M5 Money for me

Obviously not given it a go today due to Nissan having my car back for the clutch issue

Just to let you all know Ill be on the Millertec stand as I have loads of there goodies on my car i.e Jammer, Hands free, alarm etc etc feel free to come over and say hi, Ill have some of the flyers on mywindscreen for the forum.

Its also your choice how often do you use the air con does it essentially need to be a few degrees cooler to make you happy , IMO I would leave it alone and say to the stealer that youll live with it for now and use the £89 towards the service. Or say I can get it re-gassed for £40 down the road at another garage

Right.....

Went in as I couldnt get anyone on the phone again and explained that the car was exactly the same as before the new parts were fitted.

I asked to inspect my old parts and that the current parts are replaced as I still have the original fault. The clutch was worn beyond belief I mean it had started to take out the rivets there were no groves left or anything and the middle was completely blue and purple from heat

Any way got the mechanic who fitted my bits and bobs to do a test drive and he said " Ooooo thats not right, must be a manufacturing fault on this "

The Nissan dealer promptly ordered replacement parts and said it would all be done asap, meanwhile im ok to drive the nifty around. anythings better than a micra.

I then rang Nissan Warranty people and shouted and said how unacceptable this was as how do we not know the clutch fitted to my nifty was not faulty when installed causing premature wear They said that they needed the dealer to explain that the cause of the failure was from a defect and not from diver abuse ( please bear in mind my car has done 16K with one previous lady owner and its still on it original tyres )

The dealer said we did state exactly that and that the warranty people are just trying to get out of paying.

The dealer is going to chase for me so ill keep you all updated when I know more.

Problem is I find it addictive, this cars gonna cost me a fortune in tyres.

Mine has had a slight judder when pulling off in first from day one. The dealer has driven it and recons all zeds do this. He has also said though that excessive judder is down to a faulty damping effect on the dual mass flywheel.

 

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.

 

What should I do then should I go back winging now or wait to see if they can get me some cash back first?

 

 

You could try getting a second opinion from another dealer. Alternatively, you need to make a bit of a nuisance of yourself and see what happens.

On it, one angry Jimbo and flying toys comming from my pram in all directions.

Been doing some looking and aparently its plug 12 which as you look at the back of your bose HU its the smaller connector on the left and the top right cable.

I will give it a go tomorrow and let you all know how I do.

Can anyone tell me which wire it is so I can run my Alpine headunit without the ROEM kit.

Right then just been and got the car and low and behold it still has clutch judder, is this a normal thing with 350z`s

The gear crunching has gone away huzzzzah and they have fixed my alarm although they say the phone kit is ok and its a problem with my phone, I say B0lloCK5 My phone works fine with my nokia kit in my misses car.

The guy at Nissan said he is going to try and get some cash back for me via the warranty people but going to have to wait and see

Jimbo is

Just got a phone call about the car, Nissan will not replace the clutch under warranty as it is slightly worn with no defects apart from that ( aparently ). The dealer has said that I should contest this with Nissan GB because the car has only covered 16,000 miles in its life the clutch should have lasted alot longer. They reckon I should be able to get some costings back.

Its going to cost me £890.24 for the clutch and flywheel to be fitted am really pi55ed off.

I will ring Nissan GB this afternoon and see what they have to say, Trading standards are currently on standby to assist

Ignore this ive just bought a JWT popcharger from the states

I would have used them but they couldnt squeeze me in for a few weeks and I wanted it done asap specially as the warranty runs out in about 4 weeks

Not the point Tim though is it - they said they would have it back by 3pm and have left Jimbo hanging without telling him what's going on. Sure they probably screwed up on the estimation

My point exactly, would only have taken a phone call to say "sorry mister Jimbo your car wont be ready today we will try and get it finished tomorrow"and I wouldnt be moaning about them

Not good enough, not by a long chalk

 

Name and shame

Evans and Halshaw Bedford, cutomer service sucks I was warned about them by a friend who tried to buy a new micra convertible from them and was left standing in the showroom for 20mins with no help.

She bought from Marshalls in Cambridge in the end and she said they couldnt have been more helpfull.

Took my car in for some warranty work today was told I should have it back by 3pm latest ( I dropped it off at 07:30 )

Parts to be sorted are

1. New Clutch, Clutchplate and Flywheel

2. Hands Free Kit Sorted ( It doesnt work at all )

3. Alarm constantly goes off for no reason

4. Crunching gears between 1st and 2nd and 2nd and 3rd ( Suspect caused by clutch )

5. Sidelight out MOT due next month so need it done

All bar sidelight being done under warranty

I rang at 3:15PM and was told that the service desk is busy, I the rang at 4PM and the guy said he would go check on the progress and call me back, he didnt. I rang at 5:30PM and was told that the service desk was busy again.

Meanwhile im stuck with a bogo Micra sat on the drive looking like a deformed kind of bubble, even my neighbours have asked if id changed the 350z for it

anyone else had problems with dealer customer service

Not sure what they are new but i cracked my airbrushed one while trying to put it back on with my Kinteix Plenum.

 

Let me know what you want for it Phill

 

 

£25 sound OK

I was watching these on ebay thought they would be snapped up considering the start price, you couldnt notice the crack, well not on the pictures anyways looked good but not my cup `o` tea get some pics up im sure they will fly away on here

I guess there is no way to tell if you have bad ground without upgrading to see?

 

Might just have to get a kit when I get paid.

Thinking exactly the same

I already have a large filter and just want the bracket which connects to the bottom of the AFM, the one with the four bolts which allows you to attatch a filter.

Can anyone help

Are there any installation manuals about how to do this? and what you need to be carefull with? ( Thats the earthing kit not which wheels to buy with divorce money )

parked in the corner looked nice, take it you were there for the CE conference hence I was there but I was in misses 307

Looks like everyone had such a good time, would love to have attended but it is almost literally a million miles away

Hopefully next time I can come along too, also are there any events in the midlands or east anglia, essex, herts around these areas would be nice to meet some peeps or I may have to wait for JAE
