garp Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hello Everyone, I am picking up my 56 plate Azure Blue on FRIDAY!!! I cant wait. Read the sign in the window!! I will be sad to see the old Cooper S go but time for a change. Went to see the car Id put a deposit on this saturday just gone and loved it. Very pleased to see it had the tonneu cover, mats, boot carpet and entry guards already in place. I couldnt believe my luck. Its done 24000 miles. Not a mark on it, inside and out. However there was a weird clicking sound as I opened the drivers door. I could see that it was the black strut that stops the door flying open too far that was loose. The dealer said it was a common prob on 350z and would fix. Its as good as mine so I am hoping for some good news back from the forums. Cheers and Hello!!!

hotrain69 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 welcome mate! on the clicking door front, i had that when i got mine. there is a screw in the hinges that is loose on mine which makes the clicking noise, should be easy to do up. but mine keeps getting loose so i've just learnt to live with it.

Damn sunshine! I will post some more once it is in my clutches. p.s. Ive already read a few thousand posts on this site. Even before I chose the car. Like to do my research!

garp Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Friday eventually arrived and I drove away from the Stealers about 4pm. They gave me no petrol, only enough fumes to get to the petrol station over the road. They had no super unleaded so I put in 95 ron ( a small amount to get me to my destination and a cheaper shell (v=power) garage. All was well on my, taking it easy speed limit drive back when all of a sudden the car just shut down and came to a halt. The accelerator was lifeless. I stopped. Put on my hazzads and started waving cars past me. After the innitial panic I tried the engine again and it started and roared off??!!!! I got to my girlfriends parents that were close by and called the dealers. They said it may have been confused by the lower grade fuel and shut off. The salesman then got my address and turned up with a flippin Micra!! I was so devastated by the thought of having that instead of my new Z for the weekend that I asked salesman to drive round the block a few times. He said he thought it was ok and I should risk it if I wanted it so bad, which of course I did. I kept it and let him drive off in the micra. Had no problems since and I love it. I used to mix fuels all the time in my cooper S. What is going on? Help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
