If Chorley Nissan sold houses the bricks would be from another builders house the roof from a Caravan, the windows from a ship and the garden like Steptoes back yard - but it would be nicely presented and spotlessly clean! Whys it not selling Martin? Bet the panels are from a 1979 Blubird cunningly reshaped to fit the zed and resprayed - probably supplied by Chorley Nissan!

thanks mate - sorry being dumb there! Naa its an '07 I am after but no rush its either house or car at the mo and I have just remortgaged, so belt is being tightened - but there's no harm in looking!!

Thats odd - Motorpoint (Burnley etc) seem to import most of their cars from Ireland so if it costs more there how do they sell here for cheaper ???

Oh which one?? Inside info?

Yikes!!! Would defo notice that one - nope not seen ya just a boggo one today - like I said you must have your cloaking device on ! When is the regular meet at St Davids anyway?

Well probably the hours I work and they dont let me out during daylight hours?- is yours a black one? ~You must have a cloaking device - trust me I would spot a Zed a mile off I am THAT SAD! I have seen one this morning and again tonight on the way home M56 - was that you matey? Saw a blue one on M56 again - probably our other North Wales regular?

Yeah would be a nice little number on them but do we honestly think NMGB would give a damn - they would probably rather it was brushed under the proverbial carpet I expect. These bods can wiggle out of stuff cleaner than Gordon Brown and smell roses! Example - NMGB had released Xtrail in 05 in a groovy pale blue - I bought one (my lovely Rex was traded in - sniff) ok so they only must have made 4 in that colour - I needed a touch up paint can - 3 weeks of various phone calls to dealers and NMGB - but to no avail - they decided to quietly slip the colour out of production and not tell anybody and not make any touch up paint for after sales either - thats not good for a global company is it? General customer service was pants both from NMGB and all the dealers I phoned? Oh well we have all had this sort of experience. I really do think this country excells in this stuff dont you? My quest will continue there is a Zed with my name on it and I will find one at the right price just need to let the bills settle for a bit and save a few pennies first - thanks again folks great work as always!

Thought you lot were invading my works! St. Davids park area? Drove in then out again - funny seeing it drive precariously over the speed bumps!!

Contract is up for renewal soon and looked around for alternatives to my Moto - alwasys had Motos but quality had dipped big stylie so time to let go and enter the brave new world of Samsung G800? Looks quite slinky and fancy the 5 Megapixel camera - since I never have my proper camera with me when I need it but also it must make telephone calls? Battery life???? Any info gratefully received - thanks

Ok decided to phone them - and asked the question why an old bumper on the new model? That reg plate is genuine N55 SSN - its the bosses car apparently and it came with that bumper from the factory (it is the new 07 model) I mentioned that I was looking at a picture of the same car off their website with the new bumper and ..well silence - 'oh I dont know sir .... would you like to book a test drive?' I made my excuses and left - thanks forum dude and dudessess! Information is power! Avoid!

did some cursory web insurance quotes .......... full no claims fully comp etc etc Ragtop GT model 07 - 20K miles value say £27K - £1280 Same spec but Coupe £800!!! Wots all that about robbin bar-tenders! Phoning NFU tomorrow to see what they say - always good for me the past . Oh plus £400 tax - double Bar tenders oh and tyres every 100 miles ... Looks likes temp diversion to MR2 roadster again till I get some cash saved and watch the economy for next few months?

Cheers mate how come you've never mentioned that before to me?? Hey we have our own railway in Bury you know and other attractions!! http://east-lancs-rly.co.uk http://www.buryblackpuddings.co.uk/ http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions- ... gland.html

YEs thats the new grey for 07 but and I noticed it at the time when I was there but you can notice it when I looked at the piccy with my mobbie the colour is defo off on shade on the bonnet for example. I dunno maybe there is a glut of old front Zed bumpers swiling around the networks? Like when Audi dealers stick top end TT alloys on boggo saloons to shift the metal - Nissan erm seem to be going backwards! Oh I might just soddin phone them tomorrow and just ask! Na I wont Martin wants his commission so I must buy the one up his neck of the woods - at least its the same parts as fitted from the factory?

I am not bothering - if they want to sell a car like that for £27K and probably not tell anyone then what else have they done? Its only because I am sad and have access to you guys/gals that I asked the question a common or garden punter probably would'nbt have been bothered? I will ask them only if I am passing by there again sometime - as we said earlier - its either had a bump and its a temp job or they ordered the wrong part ! I am not touching it! BUT?? If you could use that to knock a few more grand off and you had it checked out for accident damage etc etc .... They had 2x '06 Coupes there also - obviously Zeds are moving slowly compared to the roaring trade in Navaras they had going! Only dealers I have seen more than 1 Zed at any time?

Dare I mention Paul McCartney at this point? I'm sure he can afford a £27K Zed?

So Martin does that mean we can all stay at yours for the price of a bottle of vino and use it as a Zed Base for exploring the Lakes? Of course I would have to spend £27K in this instance!

ALDI - about £12 - weights about 50 tonnes though so you would end up with big muscles as well as a nice shine........ (Read into that as you will!)

From my point of view its Black , Night Blue then Twilight grey in that order ... unfortunately its beggars cant be choosers kinda thing.. down to the best car for the cash, but I have always had Black cars (even though they are dogs to keep clean!) Its Silver that I avoid most over subscribed colour since 2000! Fortunately the shape of the Zed lends itself well to really any colour although I dont like the fekin door handles spoils the flow of the body line - personal preference at the end of the day!

This morning about 07:10 - very nice and spangly clean .....although I did leave it for dead in my ditchfinder - think he was waiting for his tyres to warm up to avoid an early appointment with God!

Okay have you seen that Ad for Renault Megane Sport! Where the bods just lob the parts at the car - its a pure fluke that some actually fit in their correction location like the spark plugs and Wheel nuts! For goodness sakes no wonder they have such a bad rep - crickey now we know why Alfa dont show us how they build their cars?!!

WOWSERS!!! Fab pics Martin!! Just think in a few weeks time you will have all those lovely caravans to look forward to ..... joy Well if I am gonna get that Twilight Grey jobbie I better remember to avoid Outgate, Hawkshead where I bottomed my MR2 a few years ago - fab location though......

............. its that Bird Flu! My MR2 had red spots and I am certain my Rex had yellow spots - multicoloured spots of the wheel world unite! Halleuia brothers! Can you tell how sad I am remembering or even spotting this - they polished out easily enough, hang on my old Xtrail had blue spots thinking about it and they would'nt come out - a mid blue colour?

Young MARTIN!!! Sure your on commission to that place!!

Yeah agree with you there had back bumper done Warranty work - i.e paint peeling off - first of all the colour was wrong - my car is granite blue (grey/blue metallic) but the paint was green/grey??? So after a long struggle they re-did it looks ace now but everynow and again I find overspray marks or a bit of rough paint!! How hard can it be if you do this every day as your job! Happy polishing!

Ohh EBIZED just spotted your post while I was typing reply - recon your right - someone has duffed up the front bumper - infact the shade does'nt quite match which I thought - well this is Nissan paint anyway, my sodding bumper paint does'nt match up perfectly either! Anyway very long strides well past it , £27K is a lot of cash for this lump.
