I would go for WV2 and just hope for the best.

Nothing wrong with a bit of negative camber, however if you are concerned about premature tyre wear then best get the geometry checked.

Try pressing the brake pedal when operating the switch. Alex.

What I should have said was the Roadster is now available with 550bhp. for 2015.

to the forum. Back to the dealer for hopefully a warranty fix.

The gate is adjustable, however I doubt if that is the issue.

Before you even consider replacing the bushings, you will have to make sure that the ball joints are okay as they only come with the new compression rods (banana arm) Always good to get the geometry settings checked. Yes, definitely DIY doable, just drop me a PM if you require any further guidance. Alex.

to the forum Simon.

It is always Dave from L & G that always phones me. So I guess that he is your man.

Nice one Will, thank you: Ant: PM received and replied to. Alex.

Of course the numbers will be higher with the addition of more oil, however that does not get away from the fact that irretrievable damage has been done to your motor which may not be evident at this moment of time but will raise its ugly head in the future.

Total + any other parts that you decide to swop out when you are in there. Add another £700.00 for a clutch and fly.

The answer to this question is in post #21 Do you not read your replies ?

Have a read in the guides section to get most of your answers. to the forum.

Perhaps, but it may be a ticking time bomb. Once you have the oil level sorted, will you be confident enough to give it some beans ??? Considering what you have signed and with no written warranty then I think that you are unfortunately shafted mate.

Perhaps he reads this forum: Sounds like a result. Let us all know when the repayment hits your account.

Not a lot of checks can be done without stripping the motor and checking the bearings etc. which is not cost effective or practical at this stage. My comments are based upon what potential damage may have been done by running the engine with very little oil in it. If I went to view a 350Z and I found that the oil was off the dip stick or the oil light came on when cornering or braking, I would walk and keep walking. There are plenty proper cars out there so why buy a potential pup. 99% of VQ35DE motor failures are due to lack of oil. However the car has been bought, so that now has to be dealt with and if that means rejecting the car or filling it with oil and keeping your fingers and toes crossed then so be it.

What Chris has said ^^^ As regards what I would do, I would return the car for a full refund. But this may be easier said than done after reading the terms of the transaction. Was this a private purchase or a garage "trade purchase" ? How did you pay for the car ? I would take legal advice and then make an informed decision. IMHO topping up the oil will only disguise the issue.

to the forum.

As in my previous post, the damage will be done, although it may not show at present, but will probably raise its ugly head in 1 week, 1 month or even 1 year, when you will probably have to stick in a second hand engine at a cost of circa £2000.00. Just making you aware of the potential costs as I do not think that you are grasping the seriousness of the situation.

If push comes to shove then I am sure that an independent engineers report would support any rejection. Just depends on how difficult the garage wants to be and how the motor was paid for and also how assertive the OP wants to be.
