isn't the servicing expensive and every 4.5k ?

Not anymore: Is up to a far more sensible 9K IIRC.

I like the idea of owning a Jap turbo nutter barge of some description one day, but it'll be when I simply have to have 4 doors and 4 seats. Until then, I'm sticking firmly with 2.

It'll be interesting to see how well the paddle shift holds up over a few years, and whether it starts to eat clutches or has a few electronic foibles that could prove expensive to fix.

and that with their 'pop a hole in the leather and we'll replace the whole sofa' guarantee thing.

 

and just for your info, if it does get damaged, when you ring up tell them the damage has only just happened. any delay at all and they won't repair it. was told that by a repairman who sorted mine out

Now that's handy to know, thanks!

I went into DFS last weekend looking for a simple black leather three-seat sofa, and they had absolutely bugger all (both in terms of anything nice or anything not silly money). Popped into ScS and picked up a gorgeous one with two power recliners either end for £1650, and that with their 'pop a hole in the leather and we'll replace the whole sofa' guarantee thing. Hopefully it should come in about 8-10 weeks.

Can't wait!

Very true, I got caught doing 106mph on a 70mph dual-carriageway and only got 3pts and £60. That was getting stopped by proper police officers at the time though and not via a letter through the door a few days later. Had that been the case I've no doubt I'd have been hauled up before the courts.

That much over is a close call between 3pts + £60 and a court appearance. I'm going to go sadly for the latter.

Best dust that nice suit off

it is a stand alone system but is intergrated with the stock ecu,

It is not a chip mate it is a complete ecu

So which is it? Either you completely remove the stock ECU (a la PowerFC et al) or you piggyback with the existing (e-Manage).

Do Nissan sell a special set just for the Zed, or is it a case of getting something generic and hoping for the best?

Daihatsu Copen. Cute little things, and with bags of character. Great photo too

I wedge my old-stylee TT500 in the cubby hole above the stereo. Job's a carrot.

Go to a regular motorbike shop and try a few on and see what kind of shape is comfortable on your head. No need to spend a fortune unless you really want to.

I got mine from Demon Tweeks as they had a lot of them in there to try on when I was up that way for a TD at Anglesey.

That answers that one then, ta!

Doesn't look as nice as I'd hoped it would sadly, so I think I may well end up leaving mine with the fat arse it came from the factory with.

Does the OEM spoiler fit the Roadster with no issues then?

That's proper loud, that is. I think it's probably a bit too loud for me personally, but I really appreciate you digging that video out for me., if nothing else it's saved me the cash that a set of decat pipes cost!

Nice, but any chance of editing the title so it doesn't spoil the review? I don't know about others, but I like to wait until I actually get the mag to find out what score cars get...

Fair enough, I was more worried about losing the NCB than anything else as that's worth it's weight in gold nowadays.

Silly point maybe, but wouldn't it have been cheaper to source a bonnet from somewhere (scrappies?) and get both that and your bumper resprayed, rather than pay the excess and lose your NCB (unless it's guaranteed)?

Top man, I'll give you a shout if I get stuck

Jailed for four years because the dozy cyclist decided they should jump a red light? Bloody madness IMHO.

Yes, there's no way that she should have been doing 45mph in a 30, and that's inexcusable. I'm going to go out on a limb here on the limited info I've got and say that in this case the speed was the primary contributing factor (along with the daft cyclist) and not the use of the phone. It's not big and it's not clever, but now the media are highlighting this case as a phone one, and not a speeding car/stupid cyclist one.

Put it in context: How many drivers have we seen recently jailed for killing someone else who was driving legally/walking on the pavement, when they were drunk? There's been a few, and they've all got less than 4 years (some had no jail at all). If I'm honest, the judge should've (may have?) used this to highlight road safety for cyclists as well.

Probably not a popular viewpoint my one, but that's how I see it. No doubt the driver was in the wrong, but not 4 years in the wrong.

Bear in mind this does NOT work with the UK-spec Bose unit. I should know, I bought one to try it on the off chance it would work

Can you not (using FF + AdBlock Plus) right-click and block it?

*EDIT* Just tried myself, and yes you can!

Ah, so you can put stuff safely in that space! That answers another question I had floating around, seeing as there's tons of room there for coats and clothes and stuff.

Genius.

I bloody hope it all fits in, I'm off to LeMans in mine this year!

If I can get a weekend's worth of camping gear in an MR2 mk3 which has about as much storage space as a small bumbag, then I reckon you can easily get everything into a Z. At least, I don't see any issues at all.

That's a great help, that sounds lovely without being too noisy

So clearing the codes via an OBDII reader got rid of them permanently, yup?

I see you went for HFCs in the end, was this to get the power back in the mid-range, the sound or simply because you didn't want to faff around at MOT time? Sorry to be a PITA with all the newbie questions BTW, I really appreciate your help.
