  1. I think this will show in my HPI records. Similar record (number plate clonned/stolen, appeared in a Toyota Yaris) on my previous Mini Cooper when the new owner did a full HPI check (£35ish). I did a £3 HPI check and that didn't show up as it only checks past 3 yrs. Not nice!
  2. Thanks guys. I'm assuming I don't need to ring my insurance company to let them know?
  3. As per title, this happened whilst I was playing 6-a-side footy with my colleagues. Car was parked in the public car park at the footy place. Notice my rear plate was missing when I wanted to put my kit in boot. I thought the 3M double sided tape has failed me but closer inspection I found 6-7 deep scratches (few outside and few where the plate used to sit). At that point, I knew it was being removed with force and in a hurry. Then I went and check my front plate, it was missing too but luckily, no tools were used. Got back in the sports centre and asked if they have CCTV pointing towards my car. Unfortunately, no. No one saw anything neither. Rang 101 to report this and being told I can still drive my car back home as long as I display my number plate in the windscreen (front and rear) and as long as I have the crime reference number, I'll be OK to drive home or to a garage. So long story short, I'm glad they only took my number plates, not my zed! Thank god for that Anyway, if you guys are happen to look around AutoTrader, you might spot my number plate in a different zed? Or I'll get a visit later tonight by the police (get away car, kidnap, etc), or few weeks later, letter from DVLA or police (speeding ticket or red light). Number plate: FX54 ZRC (Thanks to Ekona) If you spotted this, please do let me know. Time to go to flea bay now for new plates and get ready to for some sore thumb and fingers this weekend clearing the old double sided tape off
  4. Steve should sort you out if he still has stock of them. If not, you can try other trader here Tarmac Sportz which will also sort you out. As for radio quality, it like for like replacement from my OEM. No issue at all.

  6. Unless its life threatening emergency, I will never stop. Its not safe anymore..........Nearly got scammed whilst waiting at traffic lights in Manchester last year. Without asking, this guy (east asia looking) start squirting washing liquid on our windscreen and cleaning it with windscreen wiper attached to a stick. I felt pity for them hence decided to give them £1 for it but the b@st@rd decided to scam me. I opened my window a little bit just enough to hand over £1, after taking the pound could, he decided to pretend that he did not catch the coin properly, knock my car door with other hand and said he dropped the coin back into my car and hoping that I will dig another pound somewhere and pay him (rather than trying to pick up the dropped coin. It was clear to me the coin did not drop and the noise was from body panel, not sound of a pound coin dropped in my car onto carpet. Nice try......Since then, I never will help them out!!
  7. Get a plier, cover the threaded bit on the base with a rug or cloth, unscrew the threaded bit. The rug/cloth should protect the threaded bit if it wasn't removable (but doubt it won't come out) Edit: Looking at the pics again, your old antenna looks shorter than OEM, and I suspect it's an aftermarket antenna. I'm pretty sure it's an adapter thread which you should be able to remove with plier + rug/cloth
  8. Enjoy your time in Japan mate!! Seen those car you listed there, but not in Tokyo. Saw them little towns..........local boy racers........
  9. Hello and welcome Try give it a reset http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/53148-how-to-ecu-accelerator-pedal-throttle-valve-resets/page__hl__throttle
  10. Silly question, are those new keys from a 350z?
  11. I did the same as above but for some reason, my warning lights did not flash but I can hear my lights relay 'clicking'. Give it a few go, timing is the key.
  12. I'm assuming it has rusted into pieces hence fail MOT? IMHO, it should be advisory rather than fail. At least you know where to get one now. Decision decision.....
  13. More details on why your Zed failed MOT will be useful. Is this the component causing your zed to fail? All rusted? https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=350z+w+brace&biw=1477&bih=740&tbm=isch&imgil=QSzljBYzLradJM%253A%253BXq1NCJDchfMHiM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.350z-uk.com%25252Ftopic%25252F74933-31-months-with-the-shark%25252F&source=iu&pf=m&fir=QSzljBYzLradJM%253A%252CXq1NCJDchfMHiM%252C_&usg=__wjgUAc40ZYI9_q153aZZEfeGxIM%3D&ved=0CCYQyjdqFQoTCKGIjJzzo8gCFUiYGgodvckFgQ&ei=h4cOVuGoHciwar2Tl4gI#imgrc=QSzljBYzLradJM%3A&usg=__wjgUAc40ZYI9_q153aZZEfeGxIM%3D Ebay specials --> http://www.ebay.co.u...=item3f315013a8 Or PM Zmanalex for a good pre-loved W-brace
  14. Cheers, it sound like promising, I'm hoping it will be something along those physical/mechanical lines and not some expensive dealer only "black box" £££££ type fix I'm not able to access the car, its salvage, sold as seen on the info provided from a company I trust. Whoever they are selling it for has paid for additional info, background checks, engine starts etc. it comes with both keys and other stuff, it low mileage, it looks good bar the warning lights. Another other opinions or advice would be great. I'm really looking forward to getting behind the wheel of another Zed! Good luck with it mate! Sound like the zed bug is still ticking in you!
  15. When all of them are lighted up, it could be sensor issue (ABS or throttle body or crank shaft position). You'll need a code reader to find out the actual fault code.
  16. Not me but I know some will and I'll never do that........I want my license to be able to drive my zed around
