Jammy007 Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Ok So since always wanting an FTO and having that for the last 3.5 years (also being on the FTOOC) I decided to take a plunge into the zed. '04 Azure GT with just over 15k on the clock. Brand spanking new set of rays & tyres from the showroom '08 plate they'd sold (with optional Nismo's) Bought from a Nissan Dealership in Preston. Loving every minute of it but got small issues I'm trying to iron out at the moment. Clicky rear axles, head unit skipping slightly (speakers cutting out) and a flashing air bag warning light. Slowly getting there and the car is covered under warranty so not a bad thing. Managed to work out that a bottle of water had rolled under the passenger seat & tripped the air bag light, so reset that one myself. So just two problems left really which I'm having a bum fight with the garage about. I have been hovering around in the background for a while now which I was searching for the car. Martinmac also told me to join this site, but after owning the car for around 6 weeks, I've just found time to finally start doing things for myself rather than worrying about whats going to need fixed next. Anyways..... Nice to have finally landed and long may the zed reign!!! Jamie Quote
IanS16 Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Quite a few FTO converts.. Hope you enjor your Zed! p.s.Anyone know how much commission martin is on at the minute? Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Hi Jammy, good to see you on this site too esp knowing all about your woes with the car already.... Quote
martinmac Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Hi Jami nice to see you on here and boosting the Cumbrian numbers. Quote
Jammy007 Posted November 5, 2008 Author Posted November 5, 2008 Cheers for the welcome guys. Yeah Fiddy, you guys on the other forum have been brilliant help so far. I'm slowly getting there but the dealership is saying that I have the revised parts already fitted on the rear axles and Nissan has advised them that all they should do is turn and re-grease, which is what they've done. I really believe they're just stringing me along and its never had the revised parts fitted. If they were fitted then surely the clicking noise wouldn't be there in the first place. Headunit one could also be a bit of a headache as they're saying they need the headunit for 2 weeks even though through other peoples stories thats untrue and they just can't be bothered to fit the unit back in while they wait on the other HU. I'm wary of getting this changed as mines not problematic in the cold (both times its happened has been around mid afternoon) and has only done it twice. I'm worried they'll change it for a refurb one that will manifest the problem alot worse than the current HU. I'm going to push for a brand spanker, but i'll keep you informed. Still got the scratched alloy & chipped caliper to take care of aswell...... P.S. Hi Martin, I told you i'd eventually get round to joining. Big up the Cumbrians!!! Quote
rtbiscuit Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Welcome along, i loved the FTO as well, nearly bought one but got my old MR2 instead at the time. have met up with some of the FTOOC lot on an old meet and used to peruse the forum when i was contemplating the FTO. Quote
SunsetZed Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 to the club, hope that you get the other couple of issues sorted. and that applies to both your old and new cars! Quote
Jammy007 Posted November 5, 2008 Author Posted November 5, 2008 Unfortunately no pics of the zed yet, she isn't nowhere near clean enough and no mods done (as of yet) but I shall get some pics of the FTO up asap. Zed pics will arrive as soon as I decide on a good wax & claybar Quote
Maccaman Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 to the Forum Jamie. Good luck with the Stealers, just keep on their case until you get everything as you deserve. Quote
bronzee Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Welcome to the forum Jamie, and congratulations on the Azure. Unfortunately no pics of the zed yet, she isn't nowhere near clean enough and no mods done (as of yet) but I shall get some pics of the FTO up asap. Zed pics will arrive as soon as I decide on a good wax & claybar Even better, before and after pics. Quote
