Premier Wheel repairs in Coulsdon Graham

out of interest why are you taking the wheels to Lepsons in Kent when there are other places a lot closer that will do the job... its not like gloss black is a complicated finish to achieve place local to me (reigate area) did my wheels and did an excelent job and are a good deal cheaper than Lepsons

you can make this sort of thing very easily and cheap...

no need to panic then.... like i said either park the car in the sun for a bit to warm the roof or have the heaters on in the car for a while to warm it from the inside out... its a pain sometimes that on nice crisp cold sunny days you cant get the roof down but its just the way it is with the roof material that Nissan used.

you mean when you are opening it or closing it? if you mean you are opening it and it gets almost open then stops its common and its down to the cold weather. the roof material is quite stiff and although the manual says it will operate down to 5 degrees in reality thats more like 10 degrees! unless you can park the car in a sunny spot on a cold winters day to warm the roof or have the heaters on full bore in the car for a while to heat the roof it will not fully open in cold weather and you can damage the roof by trying to force it. if its stopping when you are trying to close it thats a different one and not one i have heard of

no i think he is after being a groupie and wanted to make sure there wasnt any competition

That little lot is from about 6 months work on one lake I fish Dave

The first time it came up next to the boat and we saw its true size those words did indeed leave my lips and the guide I was with said "you might be right!!!!" Lol

Cheers bullet. Yep as I said keep some euros aside for tolls and such

Yep have seen a few threads with similar ideas... 2 weeks is a bit full on. I know a week seems a short time to get all that in but after a week of driving roads like that you are knackered!!!! Last year we did the French side, gorge du verdon and Monaco, col du turini area.

So following a few conversations with Will370 and after chatting with a few guys yesterday I though I would post up a rough guide to what's possible and the rough costs involved Day 1 (Saturday) Trip down to the tunnel, quick crossing then into Belgium and down into Germany avoiding tolls and aiming for Heidelberg for the first nights stay. 470 miles (approx) 1 hour down to the tunnel and 6 hours to heidelburg plus an hour at some point for lunch. Day 1 will want to start early! Day 2 (Sunday) Down from Heidelberg to Baden Baden then onto the route 500 through the Black Forest and onto lucerne in the Swiss alps. 250 miles and about 6 hours driving Day 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 (Monday through Friday) explore the mountains! Klausen pass, susten pass, furka pass, San Bernardino pass, splugen pass, stelvio pass, silvretta pass, hahntennjoch pass..... Approx 250 miles a day taking between 6 to 8 hours depending on stops, photos and re runs of particularly good bits of road! Day 8 (Saturday) Start heading north again back up through Germany unknown destination but assume 250 miles and 6 hours Day 9 (Sunday) The long trip home, 470 miles getting home late afternoon early evening Day 10 (Monday) Back to work with loads of stories and amazing pictures! Costs Tunnel £140 return Food and drink allow £40 to £45 a day. This could be less or more depending on drinks and meals but I have found £40 a day is plenty! £320 for the week Hotels, allow £100 a night. I know for sure you won't pay this every night but if you get a couple of night at £80 a night it allows you to have a couple of plush nights at £120. 8 nights £800 Petrol. This will all depend on how heavy your right foot is but I did a similar trip last year and over a couple of thousand miles averaged 25mpg. The trip above is approx 2500 miles that's 100 gallons or 455 litres. At £1.50 a ltr that's approx £680 Keep a few euros aside for any extras but the above is the minimum based on staying in hotels Total £2k give or take.... Two of you in a car obviously reduces costs. Yes it's pricey but by god is it worth it! Rather than spending on mods for your car actually get out there and spend it on driving it

your best bet is to drop a trader here a PM about the wheels you are looking at and they can advise on what will or wont fit. Rarerims and CS spring to mind but there are others. as for keeping the new tyres and fitting them to thenew rims... i guess it should be ok but you will be fitting a 245 (rear) from an 8.5 rim to a 9.5 rim.. not sure if this works or not. again the traders can help with advice hope that helps

Be warned if you fancy taking this on... It wasnt easy lol

Got the head unit and assorted bits (GPS aerial,USB input, map card) for £200 then £30 on wiring looms and then a donation to the Zed shed for their valuable time

Yes it's reverse camera ready but I didn't want to spend extra on the kit till I knew it would fit and work....

As far as I know from a good look round the interweb this head unit in a 350z could well be a world first!

Aha! the left over bits pic I was most upset you seemed to use all the bits.... Goes to show Bob and I were busy as I didn't notice any of that going on and I was only feet away!

You had your hands full keeping your assistant in check!
