rickya Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 P1 (3 yr) service next week so just ordered 6 litres of Motul 300v 5w 30w from Opie Oils at £60 total delivered (with 350z club discount). Waiting to get a pm back from CS regarding EBC red stuff set of pads for £99. Anyone have his email or company tel no? After a bit of ringing around NW london Nissan dealerships, the cheapest was once again Slough Dan Perkins. P1 Service (supply own oil) £160 total plus fitting front & rear pads £55 (fitting only) Total £375, not bad for parts & London nissan labour prices Though I shan't get to excited as, Next week: Mot £50 Insurance £765 Road Tax: £180 Total now: £1,370 (well I suppose its one years motoring & its comparitively cheap compared to other sports cars) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinbad Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Chorely Nissan (wigan branch). I don't know if its different because my car is out of warranty? P2 equivilent was £140 ish P3 equivilent was £180 ish. All set prices. Still chuffed though. I used £10 of their diesel in the courtesy car too. So in effect it only cost me £75....

Bluffy Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I had my first service 2 months ago at dealership in Chesterfield... £115 and they supplied the oil, their first quote was about £180. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Ricky, do the brakes yourself, i did!!! Save yourself £55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickya Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 I was thinking about it Sarnie, Iv done em before a few times on my BMW, but Im a bit lazy & seeing as its going into Nissan anyway. Aslo just ordered EBC redstuff set from CS at £99.99! ps I shouldnt be complaining about spending £1,370 on the zed for the year, itl probably cost you that much for a set of wheel centrecaps for the Lambo!

holtehero Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Whats the best oil to buy? My car is due a P2 service nearly straigt away and will be providing my own oil, don't know whether to go for Amsoil, Motul or Silkolene Also don't know if 5w-30 or 5w-40 is the better option.

jim Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Cool, i won't be doing any track work so just want a good quality oil for the road was wondering i ought to buy some spares to top up with just in case Check out Opie Oils latest offer - I think they were throwing in an extra litre (for top-ups) with every 5 litres sold. I got Silkolene from them recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icumber Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Sorry mate, but your road tax is now £300 !!! Paid for mine a couple of weeks ago. Big thanks to the government for that ! I actual polute more in the family 1400cc car because it does more miles. So much for a 'green tax' hey ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickya Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 My renewal came through last week at 180 quid!! This could be as it is an import, there is a little loophole I read about on here a month ago? TAX CLASS: PRIVATE LIGHT GOODS (PLG) Is your class same ?
