Have you checked the AFM for damp? When mine got damp it was causing the car to vibrate. Just a thought.

Don't know then mate, I guess you could try splitting the prop again and turn one end round then bolt it up again.

diff oil doesn't really need changing. Not sure on the gearbox, but if you have a look and smell you should be able to tell if it needs changing.

Steam
depends on what type of games you like to play. One tip though, unless it's on special offer, don't buy CoD MW2 from steam as you can get it a lot cheaper from amazon, play etc..

Nissan V Blueprint ... Cambelt showdown
Jeff, Is it true that if you buy and have you're cambelt done at a nissan dealer and the belt then fails before the recommended mileage/time then nissan will pay for the engine repair?

Trouble defrosting ??
Gorden Ramsey and Ric Stein plus many other top chefs say that you should throw away any oysters that don't open when you've cooked them, this is taken as fact by just about everyone. However according to QI this is not true and indeed closed oysters are fine. It's the ones that are open before you cook them that should be chucked. This "Myth" started when a cook wrote a book about seafood years ago. Chefs have since taken this as gospel and it has become fact.. The moral of this story is "just because something is repeated often enough, don't make it true" :sailor: Anyway, think I've got this sorted in my head now! Thanks for the explanations folks :thumbup1:. I don't doubt that Jimmer and co know what they are talking about, just wanted it explained rather than the usual "Don't do that you'll knacker the engine" quote. Starting from cold and warming the car isn't an issue in my zed as I don't drive it in the winter. But I think this thread will have helped a lot of people understand the issue of cold starting (including me) :thumbup:

Trouble defrosting ??
Cheers, that helps me a bit. However, and I'm probably showing my ignorance of engines here, surely the revs being twice as high when you start from cold i.e. 1500 instead of 750 helps burn off the extra fuel :confused1:
-
300 is a pile of poo.. wont start
You can quickly tell which PTU you've got just by looking at it. The s1 PTU has alloy cooling fins on it, the s2 doesn't.

Trouble defrosting ??
I've heard this mentioned a few times, now I'm no expert but how does it damage the engine compared to getting in and driving it? When I start the car from cold the revs stay around 1500 until the engine is warm surely that's better than driving off from cold and putting a lot of strain on a cold engine? Please can somebody tell me WHAT damage is caused by doing this as it's making me think that its an urban myth??
