  1. The Nismo kit that was for the HR cars came with 2 brackets similar to the BMC one, with a rubber top lip which sealed against the bonnet.

    Sold

    Good price. Ad could be better written, and much better laid out. First thing that stood out when I opened the page was that it immediately appears to have a lot of items under the "Bad Points". It doesn't, but the way you have laid the advert out makes it look like there's lots of bad points and few good ones. Also saying about the lamda sensors not effective this that or the other just makes you sound like a Dealer trying to sell snake oil. Buy a new one and fit it to get rid of the EML light issue. You will be losing potential buyers hand over fist simply because they won't understand what you are talking about - but they'll see that the EML comes on and just go look somewhere else.
  3. Just for comparison - I had 20% of the metal brake pipes on my 300zx replaced at the last MOT as they were all corroded. They were done from scratch by the garage (not bought in). It cost me less than £50.
  4. If they completed work you did not authorise then you are in a good legal position to question the bill. I'm a touch confused. As he charged £800 ontop of the original £1k for the brake pipes, or has he charged a further £1800 on top? Either way it's ridiculous. Even top end brake discs will only be £300 a pair. And braided hoses don't exactly cost much.
  5. Yeah that's him. Pretty much everything that was done/changed on my 350 was bought or completed at Phils place.
  6. The last update I had was around 2 years ago. Only has brief patches of his memory prior to the infection/stroke/heart attack. Needs pretty much constant care. Scares the @*!# outta me everytime I get a sinus infection now.
  7. I've spoken to the dealer and explained the errors. They intend to correct the advert on Monday to reflect what is actually fitted to the car.
  8. I have twin boys, not easy but luckily we didn't know what it was like to have one, so with nothing to compare it to, you just do you're best WE're in the same boat, no benchmark, so non the wiser. Awwwww shucks. The twins are our first kids too so we don't know any different! I think we just make it up as we go along! I've spent quite a number of weekends, with many members on here and they've all been great fun. But in all honesty, I think I would like to spend a weekend with Big Phil again. I'm sure many of the members who have been around here a long time would appreciate that sentiment.
  9. Drop me a PM if these don't sell in the next week. I might have them off you for my S Max.
  10. If that's my old car it hasn't done many miles since I sold it in 2010. It only had 23k on when I part ex'd it. Can't see the exhaust in the pics but it had a 5zigen pro racer on. Just looked at the pics on laptop rather than phone. It does have a 5zigen exhaust on, so pretty much sure it's my old car.
  11. I take it that room that's been taken is mine?!
  12. My wife and I had our reception in the Student Union - £1.20 a pint, 90p Vodka and Mix (Wife is a lecturer at Durham Uni).

    I used to get 28mpg in mine on a motorway. Big lazy V8.
  15. Did you really dare to go and ask her that ? .... I've got the dead leg to prove it
  16. I'll just go check with the wife how long we've been married.... ..... 2.5 years apparently.
  17. Only if you promise to park the car again on Saturday after the karting Deal.
  18. Tag me onto that food table for the Friday night could you?
  19. We'll take the Eabank family room again as discussed. I'll get Sean to shuffle a few days to make sure I'm off for it.
  20. I'll need to shuffle a few days at work but no doubt I'll be there. Got to keep up my rep for attending in a different car every year so far!
