  1. Cool Cool, look forward to hearing more +1 !
  2. Out of interest, why mileage <45K? The V6 is an immensely strong design in principle and the Z engine should run on for ever* You may get a higher mileage 04 cheaper, or an 05/06 for the same price! *well, not quite for ever
  3. +1 Reception no different form the original imo
  4. Take the 10K draft, pay it in, take out the money as cash. Close the account and move!
  5. Hi Andrew, i am trying to buy buy no answer to PM or phone. If you see my pm in your inbox, please take a look - I have money to be parted from
  6. What a good idea I thought my headlight washers were getting a bit intermittent, too
  7. It is advertised for all Nissans so it must be some sort of plug-in. Call a dealer, get the info and let us Know! If you have the BOSE with the useless-from-medieval-times tape deck (except for MartinMac), try the MP3 fix which will cost you about £1 and only takes a few hours to do - although it does mean opening the BOSE and invalidating it's warranty.
  8. So you have an Exedy plate and JWT flywheel then Martin? What pressure plate do you have, is that Exedy too? I`m keen on a lightened flywheel (JWT) but I seem to remember Phil saying it would be ok with a standard clutch and pressure plate. Even so, if the Exedy isn't to noisy and has no drawbacks then it just comes down to price i guess.
  9. I'd definitely be a customer. I`ve got jobs lined up for you already!
  10. Cheers Mate, That is so close it is worth going there just for a browse.
  11. Interesting, but not fast to evolve successfully, I got bored before it made it .
  12. Have tried the chinese cake now. Nice Dragon, eh? Ok, I could be persuaded to walk that far, cheers for the invite for a free meal (just kidding)
  13. I had a LPG conversion on my old Alfa V6. I got the same warnings about valve seats but if you use a bit of petrol now and then it's ok. I did save a lot of money but it was a PITA too as the tank only allowed you to do 200 miles. I was always in the shell garage! The 'old tank' did 250K miles, at least 200K on LPG, and was quite happy. Lost a little power though, but who cares when cruising on the motorway? Saved me a fortune, kept the engine clean and was kind(er) to the sparrows and squirrels
  14. Yes, they became illegal many years ago, except on forklifts etc. Ooh, real wood effect!!
  15. PM sent for a new order this morning Andrew
  16. Sounds like a sticky brake, mate. The calliper may need removing and cleaning up.
  17. The BMW looks so drab!
  18. yeah, I saw the conveyer had gone. The bread point, on the corner on the way down to Richer Sounds? Looks nice (smells great!) but haven't tried it yet. Sagawa I have heard good things about but never tried. After trying a few local 'chinese' restaurants I have pretty much given up on them - all the ones in chinatown seem to be minkin'. I had high hopes for Mangos but it was shite.
  19. Very nice! Good looking 5zigen on there too
  20. It's dead easy to do, I was surprised that I could have done it in about 2 hours including console out and back. Some tips I picked up when removing the console: a) you need a philips (X-head) screwdriver at least 15cm long to get to some of the screws use a magnetic screwdriver (or put a magnet on the shaft). It makes taking the screws out and feeding them back in easier and stops you dropping them (you will definitely drop one otherwise). disconnect the ribbon to the aircon controls - its easier c) you have to pull the control unit (what the aircon ribbon cable connects to) forwards a good few inches so you can get the bottom of the console fully out. d) when taking the plugs out of the back of the Bose, twist the entire console through 90 degrees and use a small screwdriver to poke the tabs that lock the plugs in place. Fingers can't push hard enough and the tabs are on the bottom so are fiddly to get to. When you take apart the Bose, there is an extra screw that holds the bottom on which goes through the heatsink - you will spot it. Good luck - it's a great mod!
  21. The cable you are using should be shielded audio cable so will be a core wire surrounded by coloured insulation, then this is covered by a wire sheath (made of lots of woven copper wires), then finally covered with the outer layer of insulation. You have one of these for the left channel and one for the right channel. When you strip the insulation back for each wire, twist the two wire sheaths together into one. That is your earth wire (A-GND). You need to use a sheilded cable to protect from RF interference (there is a lot of this in a car!). Use something like this and chop the phono plugs off the end. http://www.mkcables.com/35mm-stereo-plu ... p-623.html
  22. Do you mean St Sushi, that is just down the road from me and I love to go there
  23. The Independent has bumped the value up to 6M and says there were only 17 made. It's getting rarer by the day!
