S1 HNK

sounded like mine did. Has it had an oil change recently? Have you checked the level?

Well after all that I did an oil change and put in some FUCHS Pro S 5W 30 following recommendations on here. Now, no more ticking at all!! So it must have had the wrong weight oil in it, i'll be calling the trader as I'm not best pleased about that. Anyway I can now just enjoy the car rather than worrying about it all the time.

Looks like I missed all the fun

Grumpy git

That's incredible!

I'll take the zed badges, pm sent.

Keep the bright silver on a black car, always looks great

I've never seen a brown Zed with a pink bonnet but I know how bad it will look

It will look one of those escorts you see parked up outside a council estate with different coloured body panels. I think it would look hideous but as is always said, its your car!

Have you genuinely driven both of them enough to make that opinion. Granted the build quality isn't the greatest and they lack a bit of style but both are very accomplished hot hatches which really put on a smile on your face. To the OP, depends what sort of engine you like Turbo or N/A. Personally i'd go for the Megane for that turbo shove but I'd argue the Clio will be more fun when you are in the mood

Dilemma! Don't get me wrong it still looks great just not quite perfect if you get what I mean. How are you enjoying your 370z? Any further plans for it?

It needs some sort of drop, the rears don't look right to me. My last nismos were done in smoked chrome by the wheel specialist, does look great

everyone used to call my last zed a 911. To be fair it's a great looking car

Easily a scam, the car is worth nearly twice that.

Took it to a guy that Mark from Abbey motorsport recommended. Luckily he was only 10 mins from home and builds GTR engine so knew his stuff. He listened to it with a stethoscope and said that he wasn't overly concerned with the sound. He told me to keep an eye on it and see if it was there from cold which it was. He then said that it now concerns him less (as it wouldn't be linked to oil pressure) and then went on to say what he thinks it would be which was far too technical for me but in essence he said 1000th of a mm out on an engine will cause that sort of that but nothing to worry about and no lasting damage. I've been keeping an eye on it and its one of those things that sometimes I struggle to hear so its having an oil change and a nissan filter this week and then at least I know its got the best stuff in it.

As said stick to something lightweight and simple like a caterham unless you want big running costs. Things like cerberas and m3s will take some serious £££ to keep on the road.

One of my favourite features. Very close to the wheel so you can pretend your some form of race driver. Gearbox is great too. It also gives lots of space in the back as there's no lump in the middle between the seats. +1, it's the most natural position for it and you get used to after a few hours.

That interior will be full of water. As said the car will be knackered.

My mate hydrolocked his 335d today, it had only done 6,000 miles

I would cry. My bros been towing cars out all day. The sad thing is it was the same last year!!

No worries. I do like the orange but the car would have to be sat on the floor to pull off that look. Go on take a risk, go for it!

I'd match the calipers turquoise. I think red might look a bit tacky What brand of vinyl is that colour from?

Looks very good value! The car has definitely been lowered so I'd maybe see if they have the original springs. I'd then also be more mindful to check the tyres right across the tread for uneven wear and anything else that could wear quicker due lowering. As been said though ,other than the fog lights it looks great. I'd expect a car that age and mileage to be easily at £8k so perhaps a bargain

Right....last ones Jay Orange and Gunmetal. In a perfect world you'd have both to suit different moods but as a daily drive I dont think i'm brave enough for bright colours so Gunmetal gets my vote too
