weather for japfest.....
doesn't look good does it, giving out rain for the weekend........... if its gonna rain then i'm not going, its gonna cost me £60 - £70 in fuel to get there and i'm forking out the cash if its gonna be a mudbath..... i'm a "fair weather" bloke only and not ashamed to admit it...... fingers crossed though, praying for sun cause i'm looking forward to it......

cleaning the engine bay
WONDER WHEELS............ its great, its got a very mild acid in it and as long as your paintwork under the bonnet is sound then its fantastic, you can "hear" all the dirt coming away, then use a watering can to wash the dirt away....... its great for wheels and great for under the bonnet, I use it on mine and i've had no problems at all..... just apply it with the brush supplied and work it into the areas needed cleaning, leave it for a few minutes and wash it off, I WOULDN'T USE IT THOUGH IF YOUR PAINTWORK IS NO GOOD AS IT COULD MAKE IT WORSE ( according to the instructions when using it on your wheels )..... then use a good wax polish to polish the engine, I covered my hoses with blue covers to bling the engine up a bit, not to everyones taste but I like it..... cheers Andy......

ITs HUGE!!!
my mate bought a GTO from them and within weeks the head gasket went, they kept saying the guy who deals with this type of thing was out and he'll call back, he never did..... so we went down to see them and they would not admit liability at first til we threatened to take them to court. they then said that they would have the car back and fix it at their place which we refused as the mechanic was a snotty nosed 17 year old who was there to "tidy" the cars up before sale, eventually they agreed that if he got it repaired then they would refund the money, guess what - THEY DIDN'T !!! its in the hands of the small claims court now..... they were friendly at first, looked like they would move heaven and earth to please you, but they LIED....... cheers Andy...

ITs HUGE!!!
sorry, used wrong link, this is the place..... these guys avoid....... although there are 2 only a mile or so apart, they are family because when i was looking for a Z I went to the other place these guys.... and the same guy me and my mate spoke to about the GTO was there and he walked off into a back room... like i said, hope it all goes well, if not then this site has a wealth of knowledge and expertise to help you if you need it.... cheers Andy...

http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=65899&highlight=premiere+cars check this link out.... that is the exact dealer I am talking about, they are FULL OF SHITE !!!! sorry to be another bearer of bad stories with this outfit, but I hope the car is ok for you, if you have any problems with it then they won't want to know, they will sell you a warranty but we all know they are not worth the paper they are written on don't we ! and it IS bullsh*t about not giving you a test drive, you can drive anything on trade plates..... ask them if you can bring the AA or RAC along for a full inspection and then ask them if they are willing to refund your deposit if the inspection finds any anomalies, then see how friendly they are.....?!?! hope it all goes well for you mate.... cheers Andy..
