  1. That's pretty good for a set of tyres on the Zed. I quite like it when a garage takes my car out for a bit to make sure there's no problems, but that's just me. Also there's no point resetting the odometer as they can just reset it again after they've driven it, you need to be writing down the actual mileage.
  2. Have you checked the oil level yet?! Yes, you need 5w-30 diesel oil, although tbh anything around those numbers will suffice.
  3. It'll be fine. Also, roofs.
  4. *head explodes from too many double entendres*
  5. Trouble is, those tyre review sites assume that everyone who leaves a review has much of a clue what they're talking about, and also that people will actually slag off something they paid good money for. Which they don't, and they won't. The 50As are a superb tyre. Did you know that the Ferrari Enzo had them as OEM tyres? I didn't, until yesterday.
  6. They would've been RE040s unless it's a HR car, in which case it would have been RE050As. HTH
  7. That's very similar to GF William's style of photo
  8. I hate to say it, but this is the downside to owning a silver car. It's very easy to keep looking clean, but you'll never be able to get a really deep gloss look to the paint as the colour just blends it all away. I wouldn't bother spending any big money on it, as you'll never achieve the look you're after that you could get on a black or a red.
  9. Doesn't sound good mate, best of luck to you though and I hope it's an easy fix
  10. See, this is why you should always watch the F1 on Sky, you'd all have seen this when it was first shown then
  11. I judge on what I see, like every single other person on the planet. Hence, Alcocko,
  12. So the same way the rest of the nation views Alcocko then
  13. Either pay for a specialist to take a look, or save your money IMHO. Generic checks like the AA and RAC are too obtuse to be of any real help, no-one can be a specialist on every single make and model of car so you can't really expect them to know exactly what to look out for.

    Front tow cover

    The Perforation From Corrosion Warranty covers body sheet metal panels which suffer from inside-to-outside perforation from corrosion as a result of defective materials or workmanship. The period for the Perforation From Corrosion Warranty is either 6 or 12 years (depending on the vehicle model) from warranty start date, regardless of mileage driven. Please see the table on page 17 for which applies to your vehicle. This warranty requires that the vehicle is inspected according to the inspection schedule on pages 38-46, and repaired if necessary, by an authorised Nissan dealer. Technically, they're correct. No hole, no warranty claim. Clicky
  15. That's not really an option, as I didn't have the money to buy an engine in the 1st place, that's why it went through the insurance. But now you're out of pocket because the payout won't cover the finance, and you're down a car.
  16. Seriously, get them to add protected NCB on now.
  17. Tbh, if they're that cheap then who cares if the claims department is rubbish? As long as the ballache you get is less than a couple hundred quid worth, then you're still in the good.
  18. It's the decat, you need to either run cats or get some plugs to lift the O2 sensors out of the exhaust gas.
  19. You fill out the purple section for export, not the usual section. It's fairly obvious what to do on the V5.
  20. Could always have cancelled the claim and taken your car back that way, fixed it yourself.
  21. They're fine, but check that everything is in order with the paperwork first and do check about mods as said.
  22. There isn't. That's the exact trouble I found when I purchased the proper connector from the US a few years back, and had to sell it on. OP, save your time and money, it won't work.
  23. You can protect your NCB after 4 years IIRC. This is exactly why it's worth doing, just in case. Maybe give them a ring tomorrow and update your policy, as you never know if your car might get damaged next week.
