Wookietaff, did you find the Nav update worthwhile?

I seem to have been quoted a different warranty cost for one year than you have paid. Did reading do you some kind of deal at that price?

[T5GRF]

Boshly, mine doesn't have the powered tailgate or lane departure system. The tailgate is self closing though.
I think it became standard on 2011 cars onwards, I didn't realise that here was a mild facelift when I bought mine but to be honest can live without the motorised tailgate.

[T5GRF]

I average just under 20mpg on a mixture of medium runs and town journeys.

[T5GRF]

Slow, in a word!

We have now found an architect, we have applied for a revised scheme with the planners so it's looking like providing we are successful we should be able to start at the end of March.

We need to find a builder, any advice or recommendations would be welcome!

[T5GRF]

Andy,thanks for the advice much appreciated!

Finding someone to build it was always going to be the bit we dreaded the most given past experiences..

[T5GRF]

Thanks Wookietaff, I will call them tomorrow to double check what mapping upgrade I will get.

The warranty situation is an odd one really, when I called warranty direct before I collected the car they couldn't match the price Reading had quoted. Reading in turn have quoted (verbally) more than you have paid for a year but I have avoided the inspection cost as I am having it serviced. Need to get hold of the service manager tomorrow to sort this out!

I would love the quicksilver upgrade but with the Griffith needing wishbones, rebuilt diff and a major service the war office is unlikely to sanction such madness..

[T5GRF]

Good luck with the haggle, which one are you after?

[T5GRF]

Sorry cant help with the PCP question, clearly finance is against all we stand for on here

So how did it go?

[T5GRF]

Have you seem that Leeds have reduced the grey 59 plate they have had in stock for ages? There is also a new white 60 plate one I think with Reading.

[T5GRF]

Just a thought, why don't you ask if it's possible to retrofit the powered tailgate, it would open up a lot more cars to choose from?

[T5GRF]

Sounds a reasonable deal. Which dealer is it?

[T5GRF]

When I looked into buying mine I was told more than once that they are surprisingly easy on tyres and it hadn't been uncommon to see cars on original sets of tyres having covered 30,000 miles. This was the case with mine.

I have just got the car back from Reading following its service and other work. The service was not quite what I expected...

[T5GRF]

I just typed a very long response and this site as usual deleted it!

[T5GRF]

Pm me for details

[T5GRF]

Agreed, despite recent issues I still wouldn't want anything else the car is great!

[T5GRF]

I think what is most disappointing is that having been on the receiving end of the usual mediocre and sometimes downright awful main dealer experience with other brands, I was hoping that the oldest and largest Infiniti centre representing a brand that seems to be all about customer service would be an enjoyable, hassle free experience. It was not.

[T5GRF]

Nice one DSLiverpool, pictures once you pick it up would be good!

Glad you are pleased with the service you received, I wish I could say the same thing about my recent experiences...

[T5GRF]

Andy, are you bailing out already?

[T5GRF]

Mine is insured with Admiral at £330 with a £350 excess I think.

[T5GRF]

Shame about the FX.
What do you think to the R class Merc?
Have you still got the Tribeca?
