rickya Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 As some of you may know I hopefully will be getting my JDM Zed tmrw!! Anyway Iv booked it in for a P2 service for Saturday & clutch adjustment so that it bites lower down as at the moment it is quite high. Opinions on the clutch issue greatly appreciated. But after much phoning around my local area (Greater London/Hertfordshire) I have a little bit of interesting info on how not so cheap London Nissan dealerships are compared to what I have read about the ones up north! Asked for P2 service on 350zGT (JDM didnt make diff to price) inc normal parts, labour & VAT. (no courtesy car & no clutch adj asked for). Ps almost all dealers said they would knock off approx £30 if I supplied my own oil. Some used 10w/40w & some used 5w/30w. no6) Glyn Hopkins-St Albans £300 no5) WLN-Hanwell £278 no4) Dan Perkins-Ruislip £275 no3) Glyn Hopkins-Watford £272 no2) WLN-Mill Hill £269 no1) Dan Perkins-Slough £252 & thats with the clutch adj free! Dan Perkins Slough were approx £50 cheaper than Glyn Hopkins StAlbans who were also asking for another half hour labour approx £40 to adjust the clutch! When I rang Watford Glyn Hopkins to say that I live in Watofrd & would prefer to come to them than go all the way to Slough, could they try & come down a little on price they were not much use! I was quite impressed with Slough branch as they said they have given me a new customer discount of 10% & that dont worry if its a JDM they service almost 50% jdm 350z's. Anyway I dont mind the drive, my cousin lives there, gives me an exscuse to go bother him first thing Saturday morning for a few hours!! ps theyr putting in 10w/40w Castrol Gtx Magnatec, any thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 £117 with my own oil in Manchester Oil will be fine, I've used it before in my Z, but ask them how much they charge you for the oil, as you might be finding it cheaper in costco or similar mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
