  1. Hi bud, Moved you to the intro section so you appteciate one part of ownership that you may not have considered. This place There are a lot of external issues affecting the prices at the moment and a good selection of bargains out there. Its one hell of a car and a buyers market. Feel free to post up any cars that you asre looking at and we will give you an opinion.
  2. Welcome to the forum bud, you have great colour taste so will leave you to it
  3. I have a roadster without bluetoothe so will pass on that one. Have a read of this and other areas in the Wiki. Its US though. http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/IPod_wit ... und_System
  4. From memory, the only options are to use a transmitter attachment or one of those casette connectors. Yep, Mike is usually right. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... light=ipod
  5. Just pop up again, sure he will sort one for you. And while you are there..
  6. Think there is a DVD with my kit, will watch it after its done.
  7. You were lucky you were out of it, had to put a couple back in and its almost as nasty for the person doing it
  8. Looks like you have got the A1 muck off. Some amazing light reflections. Nice screen decal BTW
  9. Dont worry two much about the parts Olly, there are plenty of traders on here who can help. Send a pm to Ebized who posted above, Colin is an er... well experienced owner and knows an independant who can help. Where are you in Surrey.
  10. It used to be debatable that there were members on here looking so when it was an occasional one there was contact with the seller and it was allowed to stand. With the current market we are getting several everyday and the adverts from members would be swamped.
  11. She may get something when she notices, been out in it all afternoon and no comment yet, they are the same clolour And Nixy, dont do it
  12. Used to look forward to it, now usually forget to watch it. Like most sport its getting too political. Man and machine against sponsors and red tape.
  13. No wonder Big Phil is getting his GTR with the visits you make to ESR - hope you have insisted that when you next have to leave your car there you get to use the GTR as the loan car I have seen the cost of running one edit. Its OK Colin, I can keep up on a pc
  14. Phils bodyshop is very good Dave, definately worth considering. Feeling very sorry for Ryan too, hes a nice lad
  15. Not good Dave but as you say, it could be worse. Tillys front is still at Phils, saw it yesterday but not close up. Difficult and very personal decision.
  16. My local has the same spec on the forecourt at 24K for a quick sale. That bonnet was just cursed bud
  17. You notice my car was moved from the garage to take pics, didnt want any competition next to it Ian
  18. Its a laptop so pretty well stuck with the keyboard. Thanks Ekona, I will quiz my cleaner when she wakes up
  19. Bit of general info. Overheating can be caused by any number of things. It is often the result of coolant loss or a low coolant level, which is turn may be due to leaks in hoses, the radiator or the engine itself. A weak radiator cap that leaks pressure can allow coolant to escape from the system. Not getting the cooling system completely filled after changing the antifreeze can allow steam pockets to form that make the engine overheat or run hot. An electric cooling fan that fails to come on due to a faulty thermostat, relay, wiring or motor may be an overlooked cause of overheating. So too can a slipping fan clutch. Even a missing fan shroud that reduces the fan's effectiveness may be a contributing factor. Another common cause of overheating is a faulty thermostat. When most thermostats fail, they do so in the closed position preventing the flow of coolant from the engine to the radiator. Replacing the thermostat will obviously solve the problem, but may not prevent the same thing from happening again at some point in the future. So you might want to install a "fail-safe" type of thermostat that still allows some coolant flow in the event of failure. Less obvious causes of overheating can include a clogged radiator that is filled with sediment as a result of coolant neglect, corrosion or using excessively hard water. Incorrect ignition timing and/or a lean fuel mixture (which may be due to air leaks, low fuel pressure, etc.) can also elevate normal operating temperatures. An exhaust restriction (typically a clogged catalytic converter) can also make the engine work harder causing it to run hot.
  20. I am prone to typing faster than I can think and make the odd error but this one has me perplexed. I am on my wifes laptop now so all is well. On my laptop, when I try to type the keyboard generates random letters making absolutely no sense. I have rebooted it, run extensive virus checks but it still happens. Please help out a techie muppet
