  1. Wait, you've got runflats on??!! Jeez man, get them off and put something decent on! That's your issue, right there. I'm willing to bet that very few Zeds are ever within caster spec. It's not adjustable. It really doesn't matter that much at all. Reject the car for it if you want, but personally I think that's overkill. It's a cheap Jap sportscar, to expect it to drive like a German one costing twice as much just isn't realistic IMHO. And sure, I'd pay £120 for a decent alignment to my spec at a place that knew what they were doing. I wouldn't pay £120 for some monkey to turn a few nuts to get it back into the green for the sake of being in factory spec
  2. Interior is a lovely place to be. Even though I really don't get on with the haptic buttons
  3. If only it was actually going to look like that Check out the recent spy shots, it's far more generic in the flesh. The front and rear isn't a mile off, but the side profile is pure Panamera.
  4. £114 is a huge rip off: No way Nissan will be paying that, and tbh neither should they. Who's to say that it wasn't fine when you left the dealership, but the roads you've been driving on have been what's put anything out of alignment? Not saying that's the case, but tbh I think you're on a hiding to nothing if you chase that money back. They may well pay it, but there's no reason they should. Caster isn't adjustable directly on most cars tbh, so it's not even worth worrying about. How does the car drive now you've had an alignment? That's what matters, not a set of numbers on a page. Don't get me wrong, caster can affect the steering, but it's not going to cause the problems you've mentioned. Dodgy at the front will, and now you've had that sorted...
  5. So you're surprised that a manufacturer lines up it's oldest car next to it's newest one in a press release celebrating a milestone? Because I'm really not
  6. Now that’s an offer, I’ll take that next time I’m up your neck of the woods mate
  7. RE050As are decent tyres, bit old now though. I think you really need to re-think your budget, the Zed isn’t a cheap car to run and you’re kinda scrimping on the only bits keeping you on the road. Not saying part worns are a bad idea (I’ve used them in the past), but can you not get something like the SportContact5 or MPSS in part worns instead?
  8. Which Pilot Sports did you have? Not all are created equally.

  10. Flog it, then keep the cash in the account until you see something you really want. You'll know what car that is when it crops up, no point leaving a depreciating asset just sat there.

    But it's still a diesel, so sounds like a tractor and revs to nothing. Tbh at that money I'd be looking at S5s or RS5s over the 6ers tbh. V8 or a TTV6, a much better option IMHO.

    Issues? It’s a diesel, so that’s your issue right there.
  13. Do you just want black bits of rubber to put on your wheels, or do you want decent tyres?
  14. Well that’s no fun! I have much to teach you in the art of offending, young padawan
  15. I’m hoping that MYT are your initials, and the rest is filler. Oh, and that it was cheap
  16. YASS SISTAH Top man, that was it, nice one I knew it was something obvious! Now, if you know a way to reduce the latency as well I'll send you a Curly Wurly in the post.
  17. Civilisation one is brilliant
  18. Not that I could see at all, but then it was late at night so...
  19. Ooh that looks like an option, I’ll try that tonight, cheers
  20. Anyone shed any light on this for me? I'm sure I'm missing the obvious here. I have a USB device that records music (it's a guitar fx board). On the Win10 Sound Recording tab, it happily shows that it's receiving an input, and using Audacity I can record whatever I want no worries at all. It plays back fine too. So why can't I get Windows to play the sound back instantly live (without recording) via the speakers hooked up to my PC? I've done it before, completely accidentally and completely unwanted, but now I want to do it I can't I want to pick up and play the live sound from the board straight via USB to my PC speakers, basically. What am I doing wrong here?
  21. Second series? They’re still on the first one matey... But yes, seems to be much improved of late. Bit obvious with the mirror universe and the Emperor, but still very enjoyable. Feels a bit more ST now, and totally didn’t see the doctor being killed coming at all!
  22. You'll never get them to pay out for a full set. It's not their fault that the wheel has been discontinued (but likewise, it's not your fault the wheel got busted I know!). Has the pothole been previously reported to the appropriate authority? If not then you're stuffed, if so then you have a reasonable case for some cash. The good news is you can put the money towards a decent set of wheels instead
