harrier1 Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 hi guys i recently purchased a 53 plate 350z, the car has the alcantra (orange/tan) leather interior but has a couple of blemishes on the drivers seat does anyone happen to know of a good leather repair centre either in the northeast or in the midlands (peterborough/ newark sort of area)? Also i have noticed even with the audp turned off (speed sensor for volume on sound system) my car seems to randomly change sound levels, seeming to lose power to the left side of the system. does any1 know if this is a common fault with the car? And ofcourse any other advice for the maintenance of the car, drift lessons etc would be gratefully appreciated, thanks guys Quote
Maccaman Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 Hi & to the forum. Left speaker cutting out on the Bose is a common problem, don't know if that's what you have got. Quote
harrier1 Posted July 4, 2009 Author Posted July 4, 2009 hey yeah i do have the bose system do u know where the fault usually lies or how much it may cost to fix Quote
sunset350z Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 you may be better off replacing with an afermarket headunit. Google search or look in yellow pages for leather restorers Quote
