That is your compression rod bushing and is definitely an MOT failure. It is a wear and tear item and is a common failure. New bushings are in stock but you will require a commercial press to remove and refit the bushing. Also in stock are new arms complete with bushings and ball joints, which is the easier option. Just drop me a PM if I can help further. Alex.

That will be down to you as what is one man's food is another man's poison. The leather heated seats are very heavy and that would be a great weight saving. Also loads of trim stuff that you could bin.

Lose as much car weight as is practical is always a win.

No, it does not, you are misinformed. The block exemption ruling put paid to that monopoly.

Plenty genuine Nissan UK wings in stock: Choice of colour. Collection only. Just drop me a PM if I can help further.

Then perhaps you should be venting your anger at the garage who took so long to diagnose this for you. This fault is much more common then you would believe and is quite a straight forward diagnoses for the informed garages. However, as you say, the main thing is that it is sorted, so go and enjoy your car.

Clutch components and Dual Mass Flywheels are wear and tear items. I think that you have done very well getting 13 years out of these parts. I think that it is a bit harsh criticising LUK. Also “Burn” weld marks are to be expected during the manufacture of the LUK DMF.

to the forum. The Jap nav cannot be changed to English I am afraid. Bin it, and fit aftermarket.

Then you got lucky if you did not disconnect the above.

That is typical banana arm symptoms as the knock is usually only heard on rough surfaces at low speed. Unfortunately, worm ball joints on the banana arm cannot be detected in the usual manner (visually, on a ramp with a pry bar) If nothing else is showing signs of wear, it will be the banana arm ball joint giving you the knock. Plenty in stock if required, Just drop me a PM if I can help further. Alex.

They are made of metal so virtually bullet proof.

Disconnect the battery, ECU and the TBs and you will be fine.

What gaskets are you after? The gaskets from ex. manifold to head are just stock OEM

Will do, but it may be the weekend. I will drop you a PM with images and prices. Alex.

I have a pair of SPC (Eibach) front arms which came off my 350 recently, (replaced with SPL) Below is an image of when they were new. The hardware kit in the image was never fitted so still brand new. Let me know if of interest to you and I will take some images when next over in the shop.

In this case best with stock OEM nuts torqued up properly:

I have sent you a PM.

So the plastic arch liners. ? They come in two parts, the front part covers the rear of the headlamp. If this is what you require I have new liners in stock. Sorry fresh out of pre-owned. Just drop me PM if I can help further.
