  1. Strong magnets should do the job. Make sure they are really strong!! Use double sided to stick a strip of thin metal on your number plate, then glue/masking tape, silicone, etc strong magnets behind the bumper where you want your number plate to be. Examples: http://www.amazon.co.uk/First4magnets-20mm-Thick-Neodymium-Magnet/dp/B0038E2KYE/ref=pd_bxgy_60_text_y http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Magnets-/147829/i.html Make sure you have 3 or more individual contact point to avoid it moving about whilst driving at speed. If you are going to place it on a curved surface, make sure the metal plate is shaped to match ensuring best contact before sticking it onto the number plate. Also ensure the surface is clean before attaching the plate as the strong magnet will pull the plate and might scratch your bumper. Note: I've never done this before but just an idea for you to explore. I've used these magnets to stick 'L' plate on my previous mini and it works really well.
  2. Do you post to Italy?........... Only joking. GLWTS!
  3. Hello and welcome Pics are always great to be shared
  4. Same warning lights on mine last week. OBD2 Bluetooth reader reported PC2135 - Throttle/Pedal position sensor/Switch 'A'/ "B" Voltage Correlation. Might be worth investing in a reader and check the fault code before clearing it with a pedal dance. At least you are aware of the potential fault. Used the OBD2 to clear the CEL light, did the pedal dance to reset the TB. Everything seems well now, did a 80 miles run over the weekend around Peak District and no issue throughout.
  5. Shine bright like a diamond! Good job!
  6. Very nice body but not the pink alloys, sorry. Any, I bet she'll be really happy with it.
  7. Did the pedal dance and hope this has reset the TB. Will see how it goes for next few days and monitor it. I've also bought a OBD2 reader so that I can read any fault code in future. Hopefully it's just a 1 off temporary error that caused it.
  8. Here's the fault code, looks like some issue (I hope not) with the throttle body or the position sensor. Will do a pedal dance to reset them and see how it goes. Hopefully I don't need to cash out on a new or pre-owned TB or TPS
  9. Quick update, my alarm goes off again hence decided to do a search and found this http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/69245-car-alarm-keeps-going-off/ Thanks to Marzman comments in post #3, I found a moth that somehow managed to get in my zed! Good job I found it else the alarm will keep going off tonight and annoy all my neighbours!
  10. Been no issue whilst driving from home to work, car started perfect as usual this morning. After 8hrs parked up, car started perfect as usual. However after just about 1 miles, the car seems to have lost power and refuse to rev. Seems like it has gone to limp mode. Lucky it was about to stop for red light hence not in a dangerous situation. Had my foot on the accelerator but rpm doesn't go above 1500rpm. Looked at my dash and 3 icons lighted up, CEL, ESP and slip warning. My instinct immediately kicks and I switched off my engine and start up again hoping to reset it. Car starts perfect again and erased both ESP and slip warning jut CEL remains. Since then, I dare not to rev any higher than 3000rpm and steady drive home. The issue did not repeat. Checked oil pressure, oil level, brake fluid and coolant level when I got home and everything were at good level. Checked out previous thread and got some idea what it might be based on my symptoms. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/33178-engine-management-light-slip-and-tcs/ Will check this tomorrow, but doubt it as I don't have tracking issue. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/60777-warning-lights-esp-slip-lights-now-fixed/ Will use my mate's OBD2 bluetooth reader tomorrow to get the fault code. Hopefully it's something that can be fixed cheap. Faulty cam or crankshaft sensor (I hope). However, my zed had thrown another curve ball 10 minutes ago. =( The alarm went of suddenly. I hope it's not related to the issue about. I went and checked, all windows are up and all doors are shut properly. I also started my zed, no issue. Hence ruled out battery issue as the gauge is showing close to 14v. Any idea guys? I'll update tomorrow once I have the reader. Will need help from traders here to source parts to fix it. Or maybe a pedal dance My zed - 2004 UK GT model with standard exhaust system hence don't think the CEL is due to decat or HFC. Just been to ATS Euromaster on Tuesday for aircon antibacterial cleaning and recharge but they only hook up a machine into the AC system without needing to disassemble anything else to get to it. So don't think they had caused it.

  12. Similar emails when I try to sell my mini cooper last year. Few asked if I'm interested with a swap plus cash, when I replied politely (to avoid putting off genuine buyer), the stopped all communication. The ask questions that has already been included in the info/description. I got another one asking if I can deliver to a port or something as his in Europe....... But all these tactics...... You'll still hear 1 or 2 people fall for them. :scareb
