cerealuk Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Have had the zed a year now and its due a service. Thus far its service history has been ropey being mainly self serviced by owners etc. I know what was done last service ( a year ago) but not what has been done previous. I get all my work done by a mechanic friend who does a great job for cash in hand so labor is not an issue, however when it comes to sourcing parts, he just goes straight to nissan for everything. Is it worth me putting together a set of bits he's going to need (using sources other than nissan) or is it not going to save me much money? Also I quite often get a screeching sound (sounds like a belt of some kind) which recently has lasted up to 20 seconds from turning the engine on and then goes quiet again until the car is left to go cold... any ideas if this will be a new part needed?

P19DRO Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hi mate, I get my servicing kits from Opie oils. I had that screeching as well, I got the belts changed and so on but it turned out to be my exhaust blowing just behind the flexible bit.
