schism2k Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hi, I'm new to the forum but I thought I'd introduce myself and at the same time ask for some advice please! My friends all call me Faz! I am looking to buy a 350z gt4...I had a look at one a few days ago and before jumping in I got the RAC to check the car before purchasing. They informed me that the following should be brought to my attention: 1) The front brake pads need replacing 2) The roof light doesn't work 3) The windshield wiper and washer switch needs replacing I know that the front brake pads are a bit expensive to replace but was wondering if anyone could advise me about the other 2 faults please. Are they easily replaceable and is it quite expensive? Would you advise going ahead with the purchase? Thank you so much! They also noticed a slight noise around the 70mph mark...but it was very faint? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Brake pads aren't expensive. £200 will get all 4 corners upgraded to something much better OEM. As for the other two. Not sure. Could it be the lamp? Whats wrong with the washer switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schism2k Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 The report said the roof light was inoperative and I think its simply the bulb. As for the switch they said it was insecure, so I think its simply loose and needs replacing. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 got my new (standard) front pads supplied and fitted at a good local independant garage for £81, nissan dealer wanted over £150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 1) Pads as said before are pretty cheap 2) You need to find out why this isnt working. If its a bulb, nice cheap and easy fit. If its the lamp housing gone wrong - that will set you back over £100 from a dealer (I know, mine went under warrenty!) 3) Not sure what they mean by windshield wiper and washer switch. Its a stalk on the steering column, and if thats broken, it wont be cheap to fix. I would get some clarification on points 2+3 if you go to see it, and if either are broken, unless its an amazing deal, just walk away. There are plenty of good Zeds out there at knock down prices.
