Top man is our Mike, cheers matey!

I'd be telling anyone that stopped me in that park and asked me what I was doing in no uncertain terms to go forth and fornicate. It really does wind me up when you hear things like this.

You can do that here too, just click the radio button under the 'Display results as' option in the search area. Tbh phpBB searches aren't the easiest of things to use at times, but then it takes a while to know how to use Google to your advantage as well so it's one of those things. Clicking the 'search for all terms' button makes a world of difference to what results you receive back for starters.

But there in lies the problem: As soon as someone else asks a question about 'best shampoo', then that's 71 threads to trawl through. And then someone else asks, so that's 72 for the next person, and so on and so forth. By not using the search you then make it more difficult for the next person who does make the effort to use it. Besides, 70 posts really isn't that much to go through: You can scan the results and see pretty quickly if it's relevant to you. There's a difference between searching and not being able to find the info you wanted and not searching at all: One is understandable and, by mentioning what you searched for, people can guide you for the next time, and the other is just about as lazy as you can get and quickly fills a forum full of wasted threads. Whilst everyone needs a bit of help sometimes, to be expected to be spoon fed every little thing shows a certain amount of contempt for your fellow owners IMHO.

Don't get a blue one, I've got one and you'll curse me! You basically want enough money to go out and buy exactly the same car you've got now, which is why you need to see what's out there and what other people are asking for theirs.

Clicky Yup, they've gone pop. They just can't keep up with all the cheap (both in terms of cost and quality) Chinese knock-offs that people buy instead allegedly, and there's rumours that they're not the only company in trouble. Sad times to be a Jap car enthusiast

*takes note* You won't be thanking me when we lose

The best thing you can do at this point is trawl your way through the PH classifieds and Autotrader, and find similar cars. Bearing in mind you'll totally have to ignore the mods, just find a few good examples of cars like yours and the prices. Put all this together in a file and send it via recorded delivery to the insurers and prepare to start haggling. What happened BTW? You ok?

Have you got like-for-like cover on the mods? If not, then they'll just give you the price of a totally standard car. Apologies if I'm telling you something you've already sorted.

The V6 tone. The roadster is quite an ugly car, but you can hear the engine note perfectly when you drop the roof and that makes up for it. I guess the only other thing that attracted me to the Zed was the price, as it's ridiculous when you look at what you get.

You have PM.

I know, that's probably most of the reason I considered it to be the time to really learn my lesson. The points have expired now, but I still stick to the speed limits as it makes for a much more relaxed drive. That doesn't mean that I don't accelerate like buggery up to the speed limit though

I got 3pts and £60 for 107mph on the A12 (and that was an average over 1/4 mile!). Really decent coppers that pulled me over though, they were stern enough with me that I've learnt my lesson but not patronising and with the common sense to realise that I was doing that in perfect conditions on a straight bit of road. No excuses though, it was bloody stupid and I was an idiot back then. I save it all for the track now.

Not quite then

"I've got copies of those photos of you and Max Mosley together" ?

33mpg? Where can I get one of those diesel Zeds?

You can bet your ass it will. Tbh I'm not surprised as it makes sense to do it on your premium models that people will buy regardless than on the lower price ones where's there's plenty of competition.

That's very old news (check the date in the article!), and I'm never going to try it. Besides which, they've now brought (or are in the process of bringing out) a newer SPECS which catches you regardless.

The trouble I have with Setanta is that the whole reason they ended up with the England and Premiership games is that the European Commission decided that Sky having all the games was too close to a monopoly, and they don't like those so ordered them to split the packages up. Now, instead of just paying for Sky and getting all the England games included, I have to pay more monies instead. Nice one EU busybodies, that worked out really well

Right, gotcha. Why didn't Nissan just make one type and leave the bloody thing alone!

Must've changed it for the '07s then, as my brother's car has sat nav but no lid at all. Thinking about it, even if that part from JDM doesn't let me rob the lid from it, I wonder if it's possible to change the whole thing? Go from flip to retractable?

Good find, think I'll shoot them a message now to find out.

I'll try and get a shot of the slot I cut sometime this week, weather permitting. As for the c/f idea, again it's something which sits over the entire console rather than replacing it. Well, all the ones I've seen do anyway.

Not a bad idea, might try that now. Cheers! The trouble is I've scratched both the main part AND the lever bit as well, and the sticky bits only cover the main face of the flap. Having just spent a weekend taking it to bits and dremmeling it to make the TomTom XL fit in it perfectly, I'm loathe to change plans at this point again. Besides, how do you think I scratched it in the first place?!
