  1. You're welcome, ya big jessie Yep, managed to get a shower in and then another long day driving. Pity we lost mind You get home okay without falling asleep at the wheel?
  2. Apart from the drum n bass concert from 3 am to 7 am Wish we'd found them and woken them all up at 9 am Good to meet you though fella
  3. There are two bleed points on each front caliper.
  4. The black bits on the nipples are just dust covers- underneath is a nut that needs to be loosened off by half a turn or so, then you should see fluid. Don't forget to do the brakes in the right order (and remember there are two nipples on the front Brembos).
  5. Yep, only joking about a tow. The ground is fine and they'll be no problems. Don't be put off coming.
  6. Will be there tomorrow tea time to help set up etc. Unfortunately will be in the X-Trail, but can help tow people out if it pee's down.
  7. Received and fitted. Chris, cheers for organising all this and doing it so professionally.
  8. Is she good looking? A bit presumptuous me thinks, iv'e seen neil dance Dance? I thought he was having some sort of epileptic seizure? I'll have you know that was all the rage in the early 70s
  9. Is she good looking? Not so much good looking as willing
  10. Oh, I don't know - been under the doc for a while now
  11. What about your number plate lights - are they working? They are probably linked to the same circuit.
  12. It'll be fine Rothers - a few jars first then we'll all have a bash. Have it up in no time (though God knows what it'll look like) (Just read that back and it sounds so wrong somehow).
  13. Once the OP gets to 50 posts he can sell on here in the correct part of the forum - until then I'm afraid this is about as far as he can go
  14. Only needs a small stone chip for a rust bubble to start - not necessarily a sign of accident damage.
  15. I too bought in at an average of 21p a while back and panicked a bit Thursday morning; managed to increase my holding on Thursday at under 10p, so am now looking at a fall of only 5.74% overall. If it goes back up to 15p I'm breaking even again
  16. Once you have 5 posts you will be able to send PMs. It's in the Forum rules - just our way of stopping spammers.
  17. I don't see any reason to use Nissan anymore. I've just done a P2 on mine myself - the prices are so far down now that it's going to make naff all difference to resale value having a Nissan stamp (bearing in mind most of them don't know what they're doing) if you sell to someone knowledgeable about cars. Mine is all documented for any prospective purchaser. I reckon the money I save not paying Nissan will more than cover any shortfall in resale value (and I can give any buyer plenty of examples documented on here of Nissan making the car worse when supposedly servicing it). At the end of the day, anybody with a mate in the trade (or expertise in Photoshop) can get a stamp in a book - it doesn't prove anything was actually done. All Nissan do is change the oil and filter and charge you through the nose for it.
  18. They do include a brake fluid change - on my service sheet for P2 and P3 its got a big juicy "R" next to "Brake fluid - check for level and leaks", on a P1 its just an "I" for inspect. They use 1L of brake fluid which costs £7. God knows what the quality of that is! Incorrect I'm afraid - according to the schedule for the 350z on page 18/19 of the service booklet it just has an "I" next to brake fluid for all 3 services. Brake fluid changes are under the additional service items at additional cost to the right side. I think you're looking at the wrong checklist (unless you have a service sheet from somewhere else?)
  19. The Zed doesn't have a fuel filter that can be changed does it? I thought it was integral to the fuel pump and couldn't be serviced/changed? Yeah, by ditto I meant it doesn't need doing (rather than just not essential)
  20. Also pretty sure a P3 does not include the diff oil change. Lincolnbaggie had a thread up somewhere about how the P2 and P3 are for all intents and purposes identical. Diff and gearbox oil change is and extra piece of work I think (and not a cheap one at that - circa £100 for both). Diff oil and gearbox oil don't necessarily need changing - some do for piece of mind, but it's not actually needed on the 350. Fuel filter ditto. And, yes, the P2 and P3 are identical. OP, Yours needs a P2 this time and possibly coolant and brake fluid depending on when these were last done (brake fluid should be every two years and coolant every three years regardless of mileage). Also, technically your plugs should be changed after 5 years, but most do them around 45000 miles. Westway Nissan are wrong - second P3 should be at 8 years (72,000 miles) and is pointless anyway as its the same as a P2.
  21. Didn't think you were going to mod the car
  22. Yep, you have to replace the entire centre console from the arm rest all the way to the three pods on top. Easy job, if you can find a complete new dash and have the cash to buy it (though you do have to reroute the hazard warning switch wiring).
