  1. The accepted plural is "roofs". The plural of roof is roofs or rooves The Oxford English Dictionary lists "rooves" as an alternate, one of several outdated spellings used in the UK, and in New England as late as the 19th century Thanks for the advice all the same. So the accepted plural is roofs, but you still used rooves?
  2. That's because the 452s are only marginally better in the wet than the 040s, and they're both not really suitable for the Zed and this is what happens when you mix tyres. Oh come one, this has been going for pages now and that's the first time I've mentioned anything! Hope it gets sorted out soon fella, I think you took it quite well considering but please don't underestimate how important it is to have matching tyres all round.
  3. Exactly. How would you like them to test it? 9 miles is nothing, gives the car a decent shakedown too.
  4. 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.
  5. Have you checked the oil level yet?! Yes, you need 5w-30 diesel oil, although tbh anything around those numbers will suffice.
  6. It'll be fine. Also, roofs.
  7. Mine's a 4S and is perfect
  8. *head explodes from too many double entendres*
  9. 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.
  10. Mine's fine.
  11. They would've been RE040s unless it's a HR car, in which case it would have been RE050As. HTH
  12. That's very similar to GF William's style of photo
  13. 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.
  14. Doesn't sound good mate, best of luck to you though and I hope it's an easy fix
  15. See, this is why you should always watch the F1 on Sky, you'd all have seen this when it was first shown then
  16. I judge on what I see, like every single other person on the planet. Hence, Alcocko,
  17. So the same way the rest of the nation views Alcocko then
  18. 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.

    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
  20. 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.
  21. Seriously, get them to add protected NCB on now.
  22. 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.
  23. It's the decat, you need to either run cats or get some plugs to lift the O2 sensors out of the exhaust gas.
  24. You fill out the purple section for export, not the usual section. It's fairly obvious what to do on the V5.
  25. Could always have cancelled the claim and taken your car back that way, fixed it yourself.
