EzyGiz Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 good morning All, Bough my 2008 350Z a couple of months ago, had a rocky start as the belt went within 1 month of owning it ! Gave it to a Nissan garage to look at, they tried to take me for a fool and wanted to replace stuff that was not broken (est £580.00p) , so I fixed the car myself in their car park with a new belt @ £15.00 and drove off a happy man. Since then she purrs away and I grin from ear to ear. I have a pic of my 350Z when purchased, as other sites will state, I still don't believe I own this car. Its just awesome, specially when you really don't want to be stuck behind an EU truck doing 55 mph, with a million and one eco cars begrudgingly following it. The radio multi changer has amusingly swallowed the 'dire straights' disk and is now jammed. So it's radio only for while till I can find some cassetts or buy a new one. Unless anyone knows a good trick to un jam it? It just keeps saying 'loading' but nothing is happening. For know, I will keep the car the same, though may up date the brake disks when they go.

samsniss350z Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Welcome to the forum and as previously mentioned by WackyWill, take it to an independent not a Nissan stealership. My multichanger also swallowed a disc, i fixed it by removing the unit and fished it out and all is well again. Edited October 19, 2014 by samsniss350z Quote
