Scary stuff. Motor Sport can be extremely dangerous.

Happy days indeed.

Offer to pay the card charges You can't expect the guy to give you the deal that you want and suck up the CC charges.

Ermmm, no. My dreams are usually nice dreams. I would only begin to worry about it if you have the same dream on a regular basis, as those usually come true. Best to check your insurance small print.

The dealer would have to pay a "surcharge" if you pay by card and this can vary from 2% to circa 4% depending on the card. However Bank charges apply to cash transactions once/if lodged with the Bank.

Yes, I would carry out the ECU reset.

Fully working pre owned spiral cables are in stock if required if you damage your existing one. Alex.

Get it on a diagnostic machine from some one who knows there way around a 350Z and remove the guesswork. Preowned ECUs are in stock if required. Alex.

Fully working, low mileage, pre owned air con compressors are in stock and good to go same/next day. Just drop me a PM if I can help you further. Alex.

A covert operation is usually always a good plan. However providing they fix all your issues and they fit a genuine LUK DMF and a proper Exedy clutch kit with a Koyo release bearing then a £350 contribution is not unreasonable as they are wear and tear items and a degree of betterment will be evident. However, I would make sure that the above parts are definitely fitted and would stand over the technician during the process. The above all does sound a bit extreme, however you have painted a cynical picture in your post so needs must. Only hand over your cash once you have test driven the car after the repairs, and you are entirely satisfied.

What a drama Just pay the postage and measure it up your self, and if it does not work then just bin it or take it to the scrappy and recoup the shipping costs. Job done:

Yeah, Matic S ATF supersedes Matic J ATF. Matic S is a far superior fluid to Matic J, however I believe that it does require to be changed at a certain mileage where Matic J was a fluid for life. Also I am not sure if they are compatible with each other. Best to have a Google.
