Oh, 'just' some eibachs

Well come on then! What is in the box...

Speed and Revs would do for me

I can see Martin getting arrested for mis-using his spotted cards Blimey is that you Martin? You want to get that seen to, looks like quite a swelling...

It`s V nice. Tempting, but how do you wire it in? Do you know if its a few properly designed plugs or is it a major cut and shunt into the loom?

Phil has both in stock (well he did last weekend). Decide when you get there... Personally I LOVE my 5Zigen

+1. Contact Nissan GB customer care but only if you can't get anywhere with the garage first. Make sure you get the old parts from the garage - don't let them be thrown away. You may need an independent assessment of them. If you can, get someone who know about cars to sit with you and go visit the workshop manager. Explain that they have misdiagnosed a clutch fault on a clutch only 5K old. Explain that it took then 4 hours to misdiagnose the wrong part. Explain that you will pay for the new parts (because you have benefited from them) but not the labour. He is able to give you free labour much more easily than free parts. If he agrees to this then its a quick and easy get out - if not then its going to be harder for you but you must stick with it and this time go for parts and labour. Get the RAC or AA legal assistance if you can.

Have a girly what all over where?

Thanks Mike. It looks like way too much trouble. I can see it all coming apart but never being quite the same afterwards

Oh well, thanks all for the advice. I think I`ll break the microphone out and use a clipped version on the sun visor. That may improve matters - we will see. Still no clue as to how to dissasemble the unit so I guess its just me and the screwdriver and I hope I don't get blood on the roofing.

Daily use, lots of miles, great fun, depreciating as fast as Chris'I's but so what, it is great fun to drive

Well done mate, it's not exactly what you would call a 'fun' course is it I am a Project Manager and as you already know, if you don't have PRINCE2 you are pretty small beer and will miss out on all but the most junior posts for interview. Next step MSP. I`ve just done that one and it is an utter b*st*rd of an exam!

Sorry, I can't see how it can be the reception. I have the problem when talking to Lady Pardon, never mind getting as far as the call itsself. Nope, the phone and aerial reception aren't the issue. No ideas for opening up the mike area that don't involve trial and error or brute force?

The phone system can't hear me very well, it can't decipher what I am saying unless I shout loudly - even parked up with the engine off. It can't differentiate between phone book entries. People I can report that they can barely hear me unless I put my head right by the microphone and shout - not easy to do when driving...!

I`ve mentioned this in an old post but I think it may need a new one in order to attract some attention I think my phone microphone is dicky and want to swap it out as a test. I can't see any obvious way of removing the central console in the roof and don't really want to get the screwdriver to it in an experimental and probably damaging poking session. Anyone dismatled this unit before that can give some pointers as to where to apply pressure to remove it? (where are the darn screws!) Cheers

Sorry but BMW BMW Z4

It's likely that the steering wheel is off centre because they didn't have it centered when they made the adjustments. Best to get it double checked though. Many of them are lazy grease monkeys who adjust front tracking at one rod end only. What they should do is centre the wheel and check and adjust both sides. What they actually do is put one wheel straight and adjust the opposite side to suit. Bingo, wonky and annoying steering wheel

Tsk. Where do you think my shiny new exhaust came from.. I popped in for biccies, I mean badges, but ended up with the 5Zigen Back to thread, essex to sunderland is about 4.5 hours, possibly 4 if you are naughty. Its' worth it.

Are you sure about the idea of a single? The sound it makes is probably quite unique but it is going to look a bit strange on the car.

Hmmm.... true, but a biscuit bonus would have been a treat I like anything with a cream centre, like those gingernut ones with cream in, hint, hint, when I'm back in a few weeks time

Cruise control at 55mph today on the A1. registered 46mpg finally settling on 43.2mpg over 5 miles. Before you ask it was down to 32mpg as soon as the truck got out of the way !

It's the hot colour at the mo...

What I didn't get one of those!

Yep, my recent P1 at Big Phil's was £320 including good oil and new DS2500 pads all round. A hefty saving on the prices you wre offered and more than enough to cover the petrol for a nice drive up. Phil will make sure you have a coffee and do the work whilst you wait
