big si 1976 Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Hello all, took the plunge and bought a 55 plate black 350z! had it two weeks now, Really pleased with car nice easy power & handles nice!!!. Had many cars in the past,many turbo and supercharged and three six cylinder bmws,love my cars &don't get me started on the bikes I have had. I am what u call a petrol head!!!!!!!!!!!!!, Right as with any new car u own there are a few things that need doing, One is when letting up the clutch pedal its a bit noisy,(the noise is a creaking from actual pedal inside) it is not the clutch, I did try some wd40 in the pedal area,no difference!. is this a known problem??, also passenger side window is noisy at speeds over 75mph(wind noise!). last one I have the known noise from the drive shafts(clicking!), I am looking to have these faults sorted out in the next few weeks as I want the car serviced as my brother & I are off round france & Italy soon,done it many times love there roads and scenery!!. So who do people use for services in Hampshire, I did get some prices from sparshats botley & wow that's overpriced! Any advise would be great!!!!!!!!!! regards,simon. Quote

RafsZed Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Perhaps a little too far from you but I use Horsham Developments near newbury, Jez is very knowledgeable. Quote
glrnet Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 TGM in Fleet, speak to Tom the owner, great technician, lots of Zeds from here go there as has mine His brother id a brilliant sprayer too ( same site) Quote
big si 1976 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) thanks,i have heard good things about h/developments,i used to get my impreza wrx serviced @ Subaru 4 u newbury, so that's not to far but is a pain if there is no loan car!, I bought the car from fleet car sales & tom is the chap they used to do a few things before I picked it up!! if possible I would like a place nearer!?

coldel Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Welcome mate. H/Dev are really worth the trip if you can do it - highly recommended. Wheres the clicking coming from? There is a common problem of a 'clickey axle' which can be remedied with a bit of grease - search for it on here to see if thats your problem. Quote
addisj Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Another vote here for Horsham Developments. They also seem to be the cheapest dealer for Berks high flow cats too at 400 golden nuggets. Quote
big si 1976 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) thanks all!!!!!!!!! Horsham it is!!, have read about greasing the drive shafts, I will mention when I get it booked in, I still have not found any info on my other fault though. the clutch pedal creaks as I bring it up!, its like I can also feel the noise through the pedal if u know what I mean!?. wd40 not helped I think the linkage/spring area may have some ware. loving this forum must say its great and people r very helpful. ps I did ask in the wanted section, ANYONE GOT A CAT BACK EXHAUST FOR SALE???????PLEASE!!!! PPS humpy u still got touring wheels and bonnet for sale???? Edited July 1, 2014 by big si 1976 Quote
