Sounds like the first symptoms of a bearing to me. They don't all rumble when they go.

That's lovely. It will be a shame to damp it down.

although... a clip of embarrassingly loud would be nice too Just for comparison you understand.

If you are stuck for choice Alex, a friend of mine works for M-Sport. I'm sure we could get you a deal on one of their used Bentleys (yes they do sell them second-hand) GT3 Spec

Excellent

Ricer bonnet scoop time

Hmm. Dorky Lambo doors and a BGW. Some decent drifts in there but also a lot of pointless sliding about. What an odd film.

No guarantee but if you have a plenum spacer fitted nip up the bolts holding the top of the plenum on. I had the same problem and that is where my leak was.

But I've already spoilt it by guessing correctly!

Assuming it has to be a car on sale now, and assuming it isn't daft money (i.e. not a Maclaren), not German, Italian or American, I'm voting for this: https://www.jaguar.co.uk/jaguar-range/f-type/coupe-models/f-type-svr.html Beautiful GTR by the way Alex. I've sent the link round but my friends are all too poor. If you want to charge a pound for each person drooling you may get a few quid

No, but as someone hinted at earlier, the AMG owner better take 15 minutes to fully warm up their oil or their engine might go pop at some point

Yours was the correct one

Ooh, I can't believe I missed this Where have the grammar police gone?

Don't you just need this? https://carmanuals2.com/nissan/350z-2004-emission-control-system-section-ec-44711

Have to agree its the steering wheel and the rubbish induction kit that would put me off. Change them both or at least the wheel. Sell the induction on or swap it for an original (believe me, its not a great one)

The Rads don't last for ever so I'd guess it was the rad that gave up on you. Should be a simple swap out but bad luck if you were stranded!

Sorry mate. Still amusing though

I woudl always point people to Alex regardless, even if on the odd occasion something on ebay is a pound or two cheaper. What you get with Alex is someone who will genuinely offer you the right part and if its something substantial can offer advice too. Thankfully most people don't need aftersales, but when you do need it, it really matters that you can get it.

I see, so a Range Rover or Jag SUV something like that could have been an alternative. Still, you could always argue the Green card and say none of the rest were electric. Risky I suppose but then why should the OP be worse off. This one could go to court ...

It says same type, not same model that is true, but there are many 'types' of SUV. If you drive a powerful, luxury car then what is wrong with having a loaner that is a powerful luxury car, so long as the cost is reasonably as low as you can get it for. It does not say 'functionally the same', it says type, i.e. similar in more ways than only function. That said, I'd clear it with the insurers first if only to save an argument later on

You need a decent garage that specialises in high power / sporty cars and really knows their stuff about suspension and wheel alignment. Any of the Z specialists on here would be a fine choice also as they ought to be able to spot dodgy bushes etc. Clearly the alignment and suspension are fighting over something. I know of somewhere like that in Gateshead but that's a long way from you. Perhaps bite the bullet and travel to a Z specialist? I don't expect a Nissan garage to have much more effect other than have higher hourly rates and recommend you replace pretty much every part and then still not fix it. Oh, one more idea, is there anywhere near you that has a chassis jig? That would test if the rear chassis has been bonked out of shape and rectify it if it isn't too bad.

I totally sympathise with the PITA that this is, but as a seller on ebay myself I have to stick up for the seller in this case. It is the seller who is at risk if they choose not use insurance. If an item gets lost in the post or disappears it is the seller who has to refund or replace. Often they can reclaim something from the deliverer but for a £60 item they are the ones who would lose out. Why not use insurance? Because it's expensive and the buyer will go and get their goods from someone cheaper. I know that if I am a few pence more than a competitor my sales drop off, so cost is the primary factor in a like-for-like item sale. Many items are shipped with simple royal mail stamps and the seller has to suck it up if someone says it didn't arrive. It is open to abuse but thankfully 99.9% of people are honest. A very kind seller might refund or replace but really they have no obligation to do so. Sellers and ebay rely on the delivery company to validate delivery, presumably to prevent fraud but also to keep sellers in line to delivery timescales. Raising a pay dispute pushes your problem back onto the seller and takes their money away for no fault of theirs As Roicey says, a bit of a dick move. Both the seller and ebay have done everything right and have good working practices, its the courier that is in the wrong and the courier that needs to be beaten until they too get better working practices. They must get this sort of complaint a lot so will have mechanisms to follow to get your item. Do not be fobbed off with them saying the item wasn't insured as that is their contract with the sender for damage and loss. In this case the loss is their failure due to a delivery mistake (in which case they should rectify) or fraud (in which case they should rectify) and a full refund of the full value is reasonable. It's still a royal pain for you though.

Bah Oh well, glad you got buyer.
