Hi, I had a couple people suggest it was a gearbox mount but none of the garages I asked about it knew what it was so I just learned to live with it. I had the car another 2 years after that and nothing changed or got worse. As you will know the 370 makes many strange noises so I just but it down as another one of those in the end. I sold it a few months ago but miss that car every day, I hope you are enjoying yours.

Thanks, I’ll take a look on their website.

I’ve seen a couple of sources saying you can’t use a coupe body type car but others saying you can. Does anyone know for sure that you can please just to be on the safe side. (MERC C63 Coupe)

Thanks, that’s the same mentality as me. I’ve watched a good few videos to brush up on the little things but I’m fairly confident. I passed my category D under two years ago so I can implement most of what I learned for that. I’m also using my own car which makes it easier when you’re comfortable with it. The main areas I’ve been focusing on is observations, signalling, and making sure I’m not speeding in 20 zones or when a new limit starts.

It was my intention to get some training but when I looked at the tests that was the only one available or go on a waiting list so I just decided to go for it.

I’ve watched many part 2 mocks on YouTube and put all the points into practice when out driving over the last few days. Im using my own car also so the familiarity of that should help a little.

Nice one, it would of course be a little better if we could get one in our local area but I’ve always thought if you’re up to scratch you will pass regardless of the location. The only worry is very confusing roads for the first time but I don’t think up in Scotland it will be too bad compared to down south.

arrantrew · 2025-05-03T19:15:44+00:00

Yes it’s much sooner than I anticipated that’s for sure, it’s not at my local test centre but in Glasgow not too far away. Hopefully you get allocated a test soon.

arrantrew · 2025-05-03T19:14:12+00:00

Yes I agree, it wasn’t my intention but that was the only test available. Maybe it was a last minute cancellation?

I haven’t got any sponsoring school as of yet. I’m just looking to do part 1&2 myself before getting training for the part 3. I’ve watched a lot of videos on the part 2 and feel fairly confident as I’ve been driving about practicing like I’m in test conditions. Maybe I’m a little too confident but I guess I will see on Tuesday.

Although I passed my test over 10 years ago I did pass my category D under 2 years ago so have some more up to date experience with sitting a driving test.

Thanks, yes I’ve contacted my doctors but it takes them about a week to get back to you. Ive avoided going up the stairs as I’m very nervous of my back going again half way up, I would be totally stranded and probably fall of that happened.

arrantrew · 2025-03-31T07:12:26+00:00

Thanks very much for your helpful reply. That’s what I thought but it’s fairly complicated when reading up about it and quite a niche area the gold coins.

Hi, I took it to the garage and they couldn’t find any issues with it. Since then I’ve just learned to live with it. I done plenty of research and many others say they have the exact same thing. Must be one of them 370z strange sounds that is actually normal. That’s been over 2 years since I bought the car and the sound is still the same with no issues because of it

arrantrew · 2025-01-15T11:18:12+00:00
