Wow the bmw certainly snapped quickly on that corner. Looks like an entertaining circuit

Happy birthday gents, enjoy

Looks good Andy, and yes keep the keys away from the Mrs. Lol

Congratulations well done. And yes go for option A but make it vague so it covers all bases

He looks gorgeous Adrian, bet you and the family can't wait to pick him up

Now that looks like fun

So I've got a little party of 4-5 of us together and fancy trying the vault of glass raid this weekend. Anyone interested in joining?

Nice one bones

Going to have to do some research later to see if i can spot the zeds, looks like a fascinating puzzle

I must admit I don't get the whole number plate thing

Doesn't sound like the best place. I would not be happy about them leaving the car out if the window won't shut I was lucky, walked in and explained the issue, they recognised it straight away said the recall was incoming anyway so they would fix it and sort it out with nissan. I said i needed the car the following day so they took the lock due to go into one of the gtrs and put it in mine instead. Done and dusted and no charge to me what so ever.

Best option is to use photbucket and post the link here

Happy birthday Neil

Vin numbers are referenced in the thread I linked

Will have to try that one sometime. Rather addicted to European road trips after the trip to the alps

Haha, enjoy the note, it will make the Zed feel like a ferrari. Nice they have sorted it all for you. Hope all the wheels come back the same colour

I hope they do sort it for you because talking to the engineer it will definitely not be cheap to replace. I had read at the time that although the later cars have a different mechanism they have been known to suffer from the same problem but the chance of the issue occurring is significantly less. Some replacements have failed in the same manor though. Its an absolutely stupid design. I believe its all the gel / lubricant they put around the mechanism. In the heat the gel becomes more fluid and the design means this then flows into the area where the electrics / chip is, thereby causing the damage and failing the lock. It is why it is far more of a prevalent issue in the US that the UK due to the heat. But inevitably most of the original locks on the older cars will fail, hence the recall

Locked as requested . GLWTS this weekend. Send me a pm and i can reopen when you are ready

Thats fine, no need for now. Looks like there is interest so better get that camera out

Moved

Yup i was wondering about that, the standard zeds get peppered down there

Well what do you know the forum search worked for once http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/70110-370-steering-lock-issue-recall-action/page__hl__%2Bsteerling+%2Block+%2Brecall http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/69175-steerling-lock-issue-tries-to-claim-rosie/page__hl__+steerling%20+lock%20+recall#entry1031044

I posted a big thread about this. Happened to me and the day i went in the recall was going live I'll try to hunt down the thread

Happy birthday and enjoy the pizza
