M350ZB Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Just been to the local nissan toomey garage, and been quoted, P1 service = £249 P3 service = £408 Then asked about some pads, and they want, £159.20 FRONT £200.43 REAR Surely these cannot be good prices, any suggestions at all guys ? ME Z has done 31,000 miles and was last serviced 9,000 miles ago, last april 07 ! Thanks guys ! Quote
GIXXERUK Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 i would buy the pads off bigphil, only an 1hr to do all four corners , sorry advise on servicing as i dont know your area but that does seem mighty steep bigphil............ for brembos EBC £99 full set Ferodo DS2500 £175 full set Endless VN £158 full set Performance Friction £200 full set Endless SSS £250 full set Quote
M350ZB Posted March 3, 2008 Author Posted March 3, 2008 In essex area, WEnt to toomey in basildon, only cause nearest really ! Quote
GIXXERUK Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 servicing in chester, just as a comparison servicing costs............. P1......£234 P2.....£312 P3.....£342 Quote
Pingu2 Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 mm does sound a bit dear for servicing and as Gixxer says, dont buy the pads from Nissan! Quote
M350ZB Posted March 3, 2008 Author Posted March 3, 2008 When you say dont buy the pads from nissan, would you say its better to get up-rated pads then or ? Quote
Toon Chris Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Yep, my recent P1 at Big Phil's was £320 including good oil and new DS2500 pads all round. A hefty saving on the prices you wre offered and more than enough to cover the petrol for a nice drive up. Phil will make sure you have a coffee and do the work whilst you wait Quote
GIXXERUK Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 i have it on good authority he also has biscuits helluva trip from essex though Quote
GIXXERUK Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 oh yeah if you do get the brakes done at nissan take pics of your calipers first as they are renowned for chipping the paint on them doddle to fit pads though- i would do my own Quote
Chris`I Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 oh yeah if you do get the brakes done at nissan take pics of your calipers first as they are renowned for chipping the paint on them doddle to fit pads though- i would do my own And check your wheel nuts. I realised this weekend when I went to fit my new wheels that in the last 2 weeks since washing my Zed I'd managed to lose one Nissan batties were the last to have the wheel off. We also checked the other nuts and the fronts were all pretty loose and the backs were fine as I'd had the tyres changed at a place that knows the torque settings a damn site better than Nissan!

AndySpak Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I've just booked mine in for a P3 at Chorley Nissan in Wigan. Price they quoted me was £180 all in (inc labour, oil and VAT). They are providing me with a courtesy car too. I didn't get the prices for P1 or P2 but I will try and remember to ask when I take the car there. Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Servicing in Cardiff: P1 - £210 P2 - £290 P3 - £320 Quote

But you only came in for a badge and half a cup of coffee (your words) You need to buy more than just a badge to get biccies I got me half a box of biccies and several cups of tea when I was there, and my car washed, so you can only imagine how much I spent Quote

Toon Chris Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Hmmm.... true, but a biscuit bonus would have been a treat I like anything with a cream centre, like those gingernut ones with cream in, hint, hint, when I'm back in a few weeks time Quote

Toon Chris Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 You need to buy more than just a badge to get biccies I got me half a box of biccies and several cups of tea when I was there, and my car washed, so you can only imagine how much I spent Tsk. Where do you think my shiny new exhaust came from.. I popped in for biccies, I mean badges, but ended up with the 5Zigen Back to thread, essex to sunderland is about 4.5 hours, possibly 4 if you are naughty. Its' worth it. Quote
M350ZB Posted March 5, 2008 Author Posted March 5, 2008 Prices ? P1 ? P2 ? P3 ? e,t,c, and will you, he stamp me service book or ? Quote
bigphil Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 P1 £120 P2 £250 P3 £310 We stamp the service book but obviously as an independant not an official dealer. Quote
