Sorry if my post sounded like I was getting wound up - no offence was meant! I just honestly couldn't understand what I'd done wrong. Now I see that other people are photographing card with their username on it makes sense... Thanks all especially - sasha and Chris for the fast replies, that's all I need to do then Steve

Ah ok, fair enough - but I understood this as: you must provide a photo, along with your username, date, etc. etc. Never even considered it to mean you'd need a photo of your username. Especially as I'd posted other items for sale the day before, and had been accepted, which didn't have my username in the photo... hence the confusion... Steve

Ok, I posted a for sale thread yesterday, with a price, picture of the item, full description and location. And it was rejected for having no picture??? Who checks these things? Please sort this system out - if you're going restrict what people post, please Mr. admin - stick to your rules and allow posts that actually do comply. Also, the "Forum rules" information is completely out of date with regards the vetting of all posts in the for sale section. This is where people look to understand your rules, so please can you update this? And finally, there is no mention in the rules, or contact sections, of who the OP can complain to if their post has been incorrectly denied. Hence my posting here. Now who do I contact to get my for sale thread up? Cheers, Steve

Thanks for the question, they were refurbished at my local garage. However, these are now sold. Steve

Having sold my Z, I now have for sale a perfect set of Rays alloys fitted with near new Bridgestone RE040 Potenzas along with a full set of Nissan wheel nuts + 5 locking-nuts and key. This set is ideal for upgrading an import Z to GT spec alloys. The alloys themselves were refurb'd last year and had new Bridgestone RE040 Potenzas all round. Currently the front tyres are at 6.5mm and the rears are just over 6mm. Pictures below - these alloys have no scuff marks and no kerbing at all. Front left Front right Rear left Rear right Priced at £600. Cash on collection only Please PM me with any questions. Thanks for looking, Steve

I've just tried posting replies on my for sale thread and editing the price, and now my thread has disappeared completely! - I assume this is part of the problem you're working on? BTW - I agree with the idea, but it does sound like a lot of work for you guys. The way I've seen it done before, quite successfully - is to limit 'for sale' threads to just a single post, and only allow the OP to edit or add to his original post - so replies by PM only. Also, you might want to stick a notice up on the 'for sale' section somewhere about this problem - it took me a few minutes of searching to find this thread. Cheers, Steve

PM sent.

Yes, you might well struggle with those. However, for a good trick at bargain £££... ...use bricks Pop into your local DIY store, find a few bricks of different thicknesses, I use about 10 per side - just make sure they are solid and not hollow! Then build your own ramps, when required Steve

Excellent! Mine passed today too - it's nice to have a 100% reliable 6 year old car... And they were perfectly happy with my LED fog light too Steve

Hey, yes that'd be why then nice one! Will keep an eye out next time I'm over Royston way! Steve

Humm, very good point! I've updated the ad accordingly. Cheers, Steve

On Tuesday? If so - Guilty well spotted! I was heading from Duxford to Stevenage on the A505, set off at 4.30pm, so would have been near Royston at 5pm (and definately ready to hit the gas as I got to the dual carridgeway at Royston!). Spotted a sunset Z near the M11 - who flashed his lights - Not sure I spotted you though? Steve

Just the one nipple each on the non-brembos, very easy job (if the nips are a bit rusty, spray with wd40 the day before to make the process easier/less likely to damage them) Steve

To me it all comes down to how many miles you are expecting to put on the car yourself. I bought a reasonably high-miler Z at the time, simply because I knew I'd only put 4-5k on her per year. And buying a well cared for high miler with good service history is infinitely better than getting a low miler that's only ever been driven to/from the shops - remember most engine wear happens as the engine warms up, first 15 minutes/10 miles of driving.
