Cheers, I'll try that tomorrow!

Does anyone know of a product that removes adhesive left over from velcro etc on the dash without damaging the dash? I had this really sh***y velcro holding my head up display, and it melted in the summer sun and fell off! I now have some better stuff to try and want to clean all the old s**t off first, tried a few things without no success.

I certainly won't be going anywhere near one again. Specialists only from now on. Fitted filter now anyway, and all is well! Just got to see what this new oil shapes up like, changed from M1 0w 40 to Motul 300v Chrono 5w 40 to see what it's like. Not that I had any problems with the M1, cos I certainly didn't, it's just that I don't think it's as good as it used to be, and I think the Motul might be the business from all I've read and researched about it.

Nah, too right, I don't see the point in paying their labour charges for any age car, except if the warranty says you must! I only use them now and again for little jobs like oil changes. Who in their right mind wants to pay £108.00 an hour labour!!??!!

Cheers, I think I worry too much!!

What I meant was, because they left the old filter in and filled the car with new oil, would the half litre of old oil still left in the old filter contaminate the new oil when the engine was run. I am going to get a new oil filter fitted today, but would I need to change the oil again also, because of this?

My God! £800 for a steering wheel, thats going some, even for those idiots!! It's pretty unbelievable that there own "dealers" know NOTHING of what was once their top of the range vehicle!?! It's not as if the car was never sold in this country either, it beggars belief, it really does. The car only finished production completely in 2000 I believe!

I mean, is the new oil now contaminated (0.5 litre of old oil still in filter)? Wh Do I need another lot of new oil, or will this oil still be ok with a change of filter (I have only driven car about 20 miles max)? I didn't realise till later that they hadn't done filter as well. Just spoken to the service manager there on phone, and he is saying that I "TOLD HIM NOT TO CHANGE FILTER" only oil!! What a lying twat, as if I would say that and then phone the next day complaining that it hadn't been changed (I ALWAYS have my filter changed with the oil whatever anyway, and would NEVER say that)! What I actually said was, I will supply the oil, and you supply the filter, as has been done twice before by them! He actually quoted me £110.57 (that is for front pad change as well), then they charged me £94.94! I asked him to explain why he had quoted me a higher price if he hadn't quoted me for a filter as well, and after stuttering and blubbering, he said that he had got the job timing for an oil change a bit wrong!! These people are not only useless, they are F*****g liars as well.

If I get them to fit filter today, will my new oil still be ok?

Just couldn't be bothered to be honest!!

Will it have ruined my new oil?

£26.81, I supplied the oil. Not a bad price for a main dealer though I suppose. I just would have thought they would change filter with oil whatever.

Can you believe this, I got a quote from the local Nissan dealership for an oil and filter change. Took it down today to be done, just looked at the invoice properly, and realised that they have changed the oil (Motul 300v Chrono 5w 40), and NOT changed the filter!!!! I thought I would just give them another go (they damaged my bumper last oil change, although it had already been damaged before I got car, so I left that). Have you EVER heard of anyone changing oil in a car like this, and NOT the filter, I just can't believe it!?! They charged me a little less than quoted, and I wondered why when I collected the car, just thought nothing of it, because I would not have thought that they could be SO stupid as to do something like this, they didn't even mention it? They also informed me that my rear main oil seal is leaking, and my steering rack has a slight leak!! I have never lost any oil or steering fluid before, there has never been any sign of leakage anywhere. So will have to check that out tomorrow!

"Looked" on your link even!!!

Lokked on your link! Yes, Somerset is quite a way, would prefer one a little nearer if poss, but thanks.

Where are you exactly?

Has anyone got a drivers door (J spec) they are selling, fairly near Croydon/surrey area, or at least in the South East somewhere?? Need it right now!! Colour doesn't matter, just NO rust or dents!!

What colour is it, are there 'any' dents, is there 'any' rust, and how much is door and carriage? Is it complete door and is window working etc?

I wasn't in it, I was inside the leisure centre with my Daughter, at her athletics club. The reception called me over the speakers about 15 minutes after it happened! DOES ANYONE HAVE A GOOD COMPLETE (NO RUST) CHERRY RED DRIVERS DOOR, JAP SPEC THEY ARE SELLING, OR KNOW ANYONE WHO HAS. I can't use the items for sale on here as not yet registered.

Still waiting to get the other insurance job done!!

Some w***er has now backed into my Zed in a leisure centre car park and driven off while I was inside. Drivers door and window wrecked, sat up all last night looking out window to keep an eye on car. Window just a gaping hole, don't know what to do till can get it done, as no garage! One witness, an off duty policewoman, got first 2 letters of reg, and said it was an asian in a green estate, possibly a mondeo! Can't believe it, I'm not having much luck lately as far as the Zed goes!

Yeh, helps a lot, cheers m8!

Yeh cheers, how much does the box hold?

Where can you get fully synth dexron 3, and how much is it. Want to start putting synth in mine?

Thanks a lot for that, appreciated.
