  1. This is what happens on ebay, just for comparison: If you have received the item, but it doesn't match the seller's description, the seller may: Offer you a partial refund Ask that you return the item for a full refund Ask that you return the item in exchange for a replacement item, if you agree If you're offered a partial refund, you can accept it, request a different amount, or suggest another solution, like returning the item for a full refund. You can also ask eBay Customer Support to review the case. Keep in mind that eBay's decision on a case is final. We'll ask you to confirm that you've received the refund or sent the item back. To show that you've sent an item back to the seller, you'll need to post the item with tracking information and then enter the tracking number in the Resolution Centre. More about refunds If you're given a refund, you'll usually receive it through same payment method that you used to pay for the item. If you bought an item with a payment method other than PayPal, we'll ask you to confirm receipt of the refund. A full refund is one that covers the cost of the item and original postage. If you've received an item and want a full refund, you'll usually need to send the item back to the seller. Buyers are responsible for paying return postage unless the buyer and seller have reached a different agreement. I think in this case you have already agreed to and accepted the refund offered by the seller. I think my original position of meeting half-way would probably be a happy compromise regarding the return postage. Hope it works out.
  2. That's a fair point (maybe I'm too forgiving!) - anyway I guess he won't have much choice if he wants his merchandise back!
  3. Well I guess in principal yes - but I don't think you're really covered by any statutory rights/distance selling regsulations with a private trade like this - I could be wrong though. Did he agree to pay the return postage as part of the refund? Look at it this way - he has refunded you so probably a decent enough guy; you still have his goods so I guess you're holding all the cards really. He did you a favour by paying half the postage in the first place, so perhaps meet half-way again?
  4. I got a speeding ticket in a Landy! But never one in the Zed...
  5. Not causing the issue, no, but I did think about it and personally believe it might have been a contributing factor. If you went budget on the back and top-end on the front, that would be stupid, right? Surely it makes sense to have the same type front and back - not necessarily the same brand but at least the same speed rating/performance etc. Whilst driving 'normally' then granted the tyres are not under so much pressure to keep you on the road and so any imbalance will probably go unoticed. But common sense tells me that if one end of the car has more grip than the other, I'm going to have problems going round corners quickly.
  6. You won't be dissapointed with the Cobra mate - and its lighter than stock too!
  7. Very Personally I think you should now colour match your wheel nuts to the body - will give a nice accent to those lovely rays.
  8. Clutch - Labour - I got it done for just under £250, including lubricants and VAT (when it was 17.5%) - that was down in Wiltshire about 2 years ago. Where do you live? Look here for garage reviews: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=6668 Good luck
  9. I got one of these a couple of years ago, well happy with it see below for some pics and a clip! http://www.370z-uk.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=42545&start=0 Cobra Kai, Cobra Kai, Cobra Kai! Adding Berks HFC soooooooooon.........
  10. I left my wallet at work - luckily I realised just before squeezing the trigger! So looked a bit of a berk rummaging around in the boot and then getting back in and driving off with no fuel - and there was another Zed two cars behind me (had a hot chick driving it as well). Not sure what happens if you have a full tank and no money to pay for it, but I'm sure it would've been mighty embarrasing in a very busy filling station
  11. RAF - Air Traffic Controller. 31. There's about 4 other Zed's on my station - common as muck!
  12. I learned (the hard way) how the ESP worked fairly soon after getting my Zed - nearly binned it too because I decided to put the hammer down in 2nd gear off a roundabout in the middle of december on a cold road with cold tyres. Pretty stupid. And I had a passenger. Reckless. In short - I was over excited about the speed and power of my beloved new Zed and was showing off and basically driving like a tw@t and was lucky to get away with it. I was quite glad it happened though as it taught me a lesson, fortunately without any damange to the car, me or anyone else. Anyway I'm not preaching here, but just in case you had a heavy right foot and the car has slapped you for it - well you're not the only one, and I'm sure there are others out there. Just turn it into a positive experience and learn from it. My advice is - 1. Make sure your tyres are in order, same types, correct pressures. 2. If you believe that the issue was down to the ESP and not your driving, then get it checked out ASAP. 3. If it could have been down to your driving, then take it as a lesson like I did - take it easy until you get used to the car. 4. Calm down - if you think somebody has disrespected you then maybe just get some clarification before you wade in with an insult - things can get lost in translation. 99% of the posters on here are good folks with a common love of the Zed, and are happy to help each other out.
  13. I'm surprised you haven't noticed any difference - I had some issues a while ago with the car seeming to struggle on ignition, gave the throttle body a good clean (it was similar to yours) and this seemed to noticeably improve the car start up.
  14. Cheers mate! Yeah video was awesome - looking forward to hearing the sound when I get mine done!
  15. Oooh! Can't wait, and shouldn't really be spending this money, getting married at the end of the month - but what the hell, she spend loads on her dress! The missus doesn't know about this..... "Steve, has your car got louder?" "Err....nope, you look gorgeous today babe..."
  16. Hi mate, I have one available - Nantwich, Cheshire. (about 2hrs drive from Leeds - cup of tea waiting my end!) PM me if interested. I'm free all weekend
  17. Count me in fellas, Berks HFC - 350Z '03-'06 please I'm currently running a CobraSport cat back and Takeda SRI - will try post up some video/sound when it's all fitted. Roll on Easter! Cheers!
  18. I was lucky enough to spend the day rock climbing on the Welsh coast, down near barmouth. Absolutely fantastic, soul reviving weather and scenery. Back to work tomorrow...
  19. I think it's the markets in general keeping us down with Range - and it's a time when private investors with small stakes (but maybe large to them) could be tempted to cut their losses and run for it. Personally, range is killing me at the moment as I'm about 33% down and am averaged at 17p. That said, I'm going to wait it out as I think Range has such massive potential - I don't know when the price will rise significantly as I'm no expert - much may depend on the economy as a whole but I think patience, frustrating though it is, will be rewarded. Getting married in April though - so hopefully my share of the funds will be in the green by then! Good luck!
  20. Cheers mate - do you remember what fuse you used for the line booster? The 3amp it came with blows every time - but using a 10amp causes the mirror fuse in the dash box to blow. Guess I could try a 5amp and see!
  21. Karl, Ian, Bang on the money fellas - I've found the blown 10A fuse - it was the mirror fuse which I hadn't thought to check before now. Anyway, power restored, HU working - just gotta tackle the line-booster again - I think if I use a 10A in it this time, I should be ok - will post up some pics when the install is complete. Thanks for your help on this - very much appreciated, what a top forum!
  22. Well just been out to pick up a curry and have no power to the centre console pods or the speedo/rev etc dimmers. So perhaps its one of the other fuses rather than the radio ones I have checked. Even though i put an overated fuse in the line-booster - would that not just affect the line-booster itself? Hope I haven't melted a cable - sounds difficult to sort out! Don't have a volt meter but can probably get one from work next week.
  23. Have re-checked fuses, all are okay but still getting no power to the HU?!
  24. Cheers mate - am I right in thinking the only places to check are the box on the driver side footwell, and the two boxes in the battery bay? If it's not a fuse then I'm all out of ideas!
  25. Yeah I re-grounded it using the wire directly off the HU loom but this didn't help. As the OEM HU is not getting power either I reckon its a problem somewhere else - I'll re-check all fuses since this seems likely problem, but I'm pretty sure they were all ok.
