Everyone says their car is perfect, you have to ask the questions to get the truth out of them sadly. Some people just don't class the wheels as part of the car. Any car you buy is going to need the wheels doing, but I'd be looking to use that and the service history as a bartering point. What car check are you planning on doing, and what do you think it will protect against?

PCars delayed until April 2nd. FFS

Then you may as well use Admiral's recommendation in the first place, Ive no doubt that Nissan will use the cheapest local firm they can get away with TBH. True. And I would, unless I had good reason not to. When I spanked the Cayman, the insurer was Admiral and their instruction was to take it to Chaplanes. As you can imagine, the owner didn't need telling twice.

Every now and then! They may not do it directly, but they will have someone to sub it out to. Just let them handle it all, I would.

Tbh I'd just let a NIssan dealership sort it out: If anything goes wrong, they're the biggest organisation you can go to to make a fuss and get it sorted. The insurance companies really don't expect crap from main dealers either, so are less likely to take it IIRC 370Z doors are standard across the range.

Will they fit? Yes, they will. Will they fit without a massive amount of modification to the vehicle and/or the suspension components? No, they will not.

Well yeah, now you say it! I've never seen it used as a term of force though, ever.

"Max Torque: 78kg/m @ 4,500rpm" What kind of crazy-ass way of spelling out the torque figure is that?! It's actually 564 lb/ft, if the website I used is correct. Why not just say that though? No-one has ever used kg/m to refer to torque in cars that I've seen.* Some epic engineering there though, and I love how short the piping to the IC and back is. *Cue people posting up lots of examples...

If you have a smartphone, then for the sake of £5 go and buy an OBDII dongle and a free app and read it properly.

I know, it made me cry just typing it

I did the same, I swapped the OEM for a genuine Nismo one, made a world of difference

Actually, that's a very good question, and it's one I don't have the answer too. What I would say is that I'd be looking at brass or steel over aluminium or plastic, as like for like the former will always be heavier. I have a custom shift knob in the MR2, weighs about 3/4 of a kilo but it's bloody awesome Custom knobs are cheaper than you think, mine was only £35 IIRC from some bloke on eBay.

Word of advice: Buy the heaviest gear knob you can. It's the only place on the car you actively want to add weight, makes the shift so much more positive

Is the answer here not just to buy two homes? One main residence, then one smaller getaway place? Or two identical but very different properties? Or just sod off for a whole year on a round the world cruise, and then worry about it when you get back? That's what I'd do.

Renovo is the best stuff you'll get your hands on, and it's now cheaper than the AG stuff too so a no-brainer.

Let me have a chat with the missus tonight, this might actually be worth looking into for us.

STOP IT I DON'T HAVE ROOM FOR ANY MORE CARS FFS

Fanks!

Exactly why she needs to show us some flange But yeah, I'm just glad Jo has zero interest in watching this so I don't need to come up with a rubbish excuse.

I want famous person lady garden guaranteed if I'm going to be made to sit through a girly film though

That's great, but unless you're a dealer too then it was NOT a trade sale, regardless of what they say. Your rights under the SOGA are unaffected by their 'trade sale' shenanigans. Y'know, just in case you do need to go back to them for anything. Welcome along

But does it show lady garden?

It's an Americanism, so barely acceptable. Referring to gotten, sorry. Hugh has kindly pointed it out to me via PM, but I've left it up to see how quickly someone else finds it.

That sounds as obnoxious as the 'music' used in the video.

Is it forgetting a question mark at the end of a question?
