Wise man, Nick
I tried to read it from the end backwards, and lost interest, so I may have missed something, but AFIACS it was still £8k+
Much bandwidth was consumed in 'debate' between those who think the parts prices should be lower, and those arguing that it is what it is - and if you can't afford it then don't buy the car.

That's about as far as I dared read.
I think it's probably the same as the Range Rover Sport owners' club; they cannot have club meets because a brawl will inevitably break out.

“I find myself irresistibly attracted to cars that nobody else buys. The NSX is a classic of the genre because nobody buys it and yet it’s a fantastic car. It’s got a wonderful compactness and simplicity and unpretentiousness to it. Honda rudely continues to make them whether we like it or not, even though there can be no commercial logic in doing so — I thoroughly admire that.” Rowan Atkinson
I read it once to some depth, though can't recall the exact outcome and am not going to go there again...Originally Posted by Nick Graves
I think the gist was that initially the dealer was saying it'd all be £11k and take ages to fix, but in the end Nissan stepped in and made it happen quicker, at a lower cost and contributed to by them, and I believe they also said the same would happen should the same circumstances occur. Of course, actually crashing into a pedestrian and setting off the bonnet release might be deemed intended usage, and you'd be on your own...

I wonder if Ewan offers other translation services...do you think he'd survive Scoobynet?!?

Anything but Scoobynet. That's worse than Detroit! (anyone get the quote?)
Cheers,

I had to gooogle it as I'd forgotten that line.
Guess I picked a bad day to give up lines....

It's a bit wrong, but quite funny. Where would we gave been without the Zuckers?
