Ebized

just needs to learn how to park

I hope it does big kid

Gutted for you mate - you amend to an oversight straight away (or at least when the authorities offices are open to let you) and that what you get in return What's even more galling is that we are easy targets - bet they don't bother with the increasing number of East European registered vehicles we see around - wonder now many of them are 'legal'

Don't give us that, just admit you put too much soap in your wash bucket mate

Brickyard, Blue and White and Crap

Been nice knowing you

A while back bought a Smart, partly for the fuel price reasons but also because you could always find a space to park it - purchased it using my head. But my heart ached for a ZED and that won and I havn't looked back - remember you only live once - enjoy what you can while you can

I'm confused now Zummertor told us a while back that he: "Ended up buying 54Reg GM, GT Pack, Parking sensors with 8.5k on clock with a chip on the bonnet for what I thought was a good price plenty under 17k, UK car and all HPI'd etc. etc" I took his comment about the parking sensor noise, as he has a UK car with the sensors, to be not only the beep when you engage reverse gear but the beeps before the BANG! Zummertor to the rescue please - apologies if I have misunderstood

please sir I won't do it again

The "rimz" site had it for sale at £12.95

Have you tried these Mike? www.rimz-refurbs.co.uk/ecomcart/list.php

The best 'presenter' on he show is not listed - he may not say much but at least he knows how to drive compared to those other 3 ....kers

i fear you exaggerate sir ! that was half a pic .........and then he only got a quarter of his car in

"I think Digsy is ignoring us" No, he just had to take a holiday after the effort of posting his first pic in 2 years

...............and also pics of the pop-wotsit on your starter - haven't heard of one of those before

Pit her against the likes of Clarkson, Hammond and May, I am sure she would see them off, but McCarthy (sorry, the Stig) - well thats another matter......

I agree with what has been said and particuarly a problem with those dealers that have multiple franchises. I also deplore the charges they make . But if you think of it from the employess side they probably get pretty bored with all the micras etc they normally have to deal with. Generally I have found over many many years of having to use dealers that if you show you have the car because you enjoy it and know something about it they become more positive. Asking to meet the technican concerned helps and if you find your car comes back without problems/scratches, going back to give that technician (and/or front desk service person) who have been careful/helpful to say thank you and give them a 'drink' does help sort out things in the future. Yeah, perhaps we shouldn't have to resort to do that and I expect I'll get some stick to on here about it , but whether you agree with it or not, 'tipping' such people who otherwise get little thanks for what they do can work wonders. We always get brilliant service in the the local resturant we use for the same reason - remember the guys concerned are unlikely to be earning wages that enables them to buy ZEDS, so a few extra quid direct to them makes the difference.

I guess living where you do parking ain't too much of a problem - try finding a parking spot down in the London area and its like winning the jackpot, if you can squeeze the car in that is - hence the sensors become very useful - only wish I had them at the front too. Oh, and I agree the feeble beep sounds ridiculous in the ZED - my wife's Honda makes a much more horny sound (well, at least the sensors beep does!)

You have a wife and girlfriends?????? teach me oh master show me the way Im not worthy .......................... phew just got back on the site after a hectic couple of nights

the first rule of whore club is ....we dont talk about whore club got him worried

and still you get another post up even with a

I've no doubt that if the Nissan guys owned up they would say there are better tyres than the stones for ZED but as they probably cost Nissan about 50p a corner its stones we get from new (same applies to most other Jap cars - Bridgestone have corned that market ) . They then rely on the average punter (not people like us) to renew with the same tyres to boost their profits. Having said that, Nissan arn't about to sell their cars with tyres not up job for the type motoring the various models are likely to be used for. I'm solely talking here about average road use here, not track, ice or similar extreme conditions. Reading this thread and numerous others before on which tyres are best and the helpful advice that someone who posted the attached site a while back: www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible.html It seems a number of the familiar makes all have their good and not so good traits. I am not sure how anybody can be sure they have chosen the best tyre for ZED without trying out each type on the same car in exactly the same conditions. For me, I am probably inclined towards the Toyos when I need to replace the stones. Why? because they don't get bad reports from you guys and are at a reasonable price with decent longevity and yes I amit to finding the tread pattern the coolest - daft reason I know but am I alone in that thinking - see pic below of the Toyos on PINGU2's car below and compare to the more boring tread pattern on the blue ZED (no offence Cavey )? Lets face it we all like to see mods to the cars that really work well in the looks department - isn't that really why Toyos appeal to many, and not just ZED owners? OK so price also comes into it and there is cut-price rubbish out there, in the same way that the most expensive does not mean the best (unless you are Armani man and that's what matters ) Also, we all want to think that the replacement tyres we have chosen are better. But anything is likely to be better because its being compared to (usually) worn out tyres that are way past their best. I also wonder just how many want to believe the replacement tyres are better when in fact they might not be but having shelled out several hundred pounds its a brave owner who puts their hand up and says they are worse are at best no better than those before? Apologies for the ramble but whilst it is interesting to see the various comparisons I can't help thinking we sometimes get carried away with what appeals (me included!), without really being sure we have opted for a tyre that has been scientifically proven to be the best tyre that suits the ZED for the average road conditions we have in the UK.
