M350ZB Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Just been to the local nissan toomey garage, and been quoted, P1 service = £249 P3 service = £408 Then asked about some pads, and they want, £159.20 FRONT £200.43 REAR Surely these cannot be good prices, any suggestions at all guys ? ME Z has done 31,000 miles and was last serviced 9,000 miles ago, last april 07 ! Thanks guys ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingu2 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 mm does sound a bit dear for servicing and as Gixxer says, dont buy the pads from Nissan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M350ZB Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 When you say dont buy the pads from nissan, would you say its better to get up-rated pads then or ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Chris Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Yep, my recent P1 at Big Phil's was £320 including good oil and new DS2500 pads all round. A hefty saving on the prices you wre offered and more than enough to cover the petrol for a nice drive up. Phil will make sure you have a coffee and do the work whilst you wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIXXERUK Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 oh yeah if you do get the brakes done at nissan take pics of your calipers first as they are renowned for chipping the paint on them doddle to fit pads though- i would do my own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realised this weekend when I went to fit my new wheels that in the last 2 weeks since washing my Zed I'd managed to lose one Nissan batties were the last to have the wheel off. We also checked the other nuts and the fronts were all pretty loose and the backs were fine as I'd had the tyres changed at a place that knows the torque settings a damn site better than Nissan!

AndySpak Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I've just booked mine in for a P3 at Chorley Nissan in Wigan. Price they quoted me was £180 all in (inc labour, oil and VAT). They are providing me with a courtesy car too. I didn't get the prices for P1 or P2 but I will try and remember to ask when I take the car there.

Where do you think my shiny new exhaust came from.. I popped in for biccies, I mean badges, but ended up with the 5Zigen Back to thread, essex to sunderland is about 4.5 hours, possibly 4 if you are naughty. Its' worth it.
