Hi,
I'm really hoping that you can help me out here big time. I have had the steering lock issue which I temp fixed by tapping it. I decided to change my car for a newer one due to the warrantee expiring in Nov 12 as I have been worried about it happening again. I just can't believe my luck as I'm supposed to be going to the garage tomorrow to drop the 370z off as a PX to collect my new car. Gone to turn the car on this morning and it is dead! The tapping hasn't worked this time and I'm completely gutted as I won't be collecting my new car tomorrow unless I get it going. If I can get it going, ill remove the steering lock fuse (only just read about that trick!!!!) I am based in the UK with a late 2009 370z Reg: L2 PPJ

Dreaded Steering lock

Hi from the other side of the pond

I have a 09 plate stuck at a Nissan main dealer and they want approx $1200 just for the lock.

I have read how to make it safe when it works, but could you mail me how to dismantle etc. My plan is to tell Nissan to remove the lock then tow it home and sort it

Thanks

Jim

Many thanks, Kenchan & co! I’ll “stick around”. 370Z preferred as I know it. My ex-370Z is a good car for some-one (me!) but, once registered (plated) it seems impossible (even for the...
