JDM Performance Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Has anyone got any recommendations of a decent Dealer in or around Edinburgh? Pref one with good service dept.. Chees Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4 CHK Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Alex F. Noble, Loanhead is now the only Nissan approved dealer in Edinburgh. My z comes from there and I've had no problem with them! Arnold Shark appear to have lost their Nissan franchise in Ed. I think they still have a Nissan garage in Livingston (deans?), but no way would I ever recommend them due to previous difficulties......

JDM Performance Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Ahh that's a shame, Livi is the closest one to me. I'll limp my car to Loanhead then. Thanks for the recommendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's up Chris, you hit limp mode which is not uncommon with mods. Have you done an ECU reset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDM Performance Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Tried that. Even tried one of those OBD readers but it wont communicate with the ECU for some reason. I've given up trying to figure it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Funky, I've used AC at Deans Livingstone for a service - no problems. Not asked them to do anything complicated though......... Gus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek_ZR Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 As with Gus, I have used them for servicing and didn't have any problems. Pricing was excellent as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 That's good news, because I wasn't too impressed with earlier dealings with AC at Stirling. I was thinking about getting the importer to do the next service anyway. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDM Performance Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 Decided to just go to AC anyway on account of it being nearer. I had a "waiting appointment" but when I arrived they were insisting I leave the car with them. I protested and eventually they admitted the appointment was a "waiting" type on the computer, but not on the job sheet. So they 'allowed' me to wait - without even an appology! Already I am reminded why I hate main dealers. Anyway, they diagnosed the car and it turned out to be... *drum roll* o2 Sensor error. So they tested it (working) and reset my car and that was that. I asked to speak with the mechanic about it but all I got was chinese whispers relayed to me by a secretary who asked me "have I fitted an injector to the car?". Emm... no... so she went away and came back and said it was because "You have an induction kit fitted or something and its sucking in air which might have caused the problem". I considered going into an explenation about how an o2 sensor is in the exhaust and an intake kit is not part of an exhaust... but then I realised by the blank look that I'd be better off paying and leaving. So, least she runs again... and I almost got all the way home before the amp fuse blew and one of my neon lights fell off. Ahhhh, something more for me to tinker with in the garage tonight! Thanks for the advice guys Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 well at least it's now sorted mate. No limp home anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek_ZR Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I was p****d off with the 'waiting' appointment too. I turned up and they said it would be at least a few hours. In the end they gave me a lift home and collected me again but it did mean I couldn't do anything else that day while I waited. Next time they won't get away with it.
