Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

It will. Looks a nice example, the question is whether the recent work outweighs no service for 8 years/19,000 miles.

POST 4Original post
Apparently Sam (Seen Through Glass) spent £10k on it when he bought it although I think that included a PCCM upgrade. I agree that it's got a substantial hole in the SH and it might put off some collectors although for someone who wanted a sorted car to drive, it might be different. The X51 upgrade is rare, but does that and the anniversary model make up for the gap in the servicing?
POST 5Original post
Given all 40 year cars have X51, it's not a factor to swing the decision.
POST 6Original post
Odd really, given that an annual service at an Indy with those costs v little, relatively.
POST 7Original post
Initial signs of bore scoring too when he bought it iirc

Another "Influencer" off-loads to buy something else and refresh his content :roll: There's quite a few of them that can buy a turd and roll it in glitter to whip up the frenzy and move it on. That said I've yet to see any of them extol the benefits of having the Moody Blue interior like Jonttt :grin:
POST 9Original post
The £10k he spent was when he first got the car and wasn't just a service. It was to get the car up to standard after the purchase. It didn't include the PCCM, that was extra. I follow Sam on YouTube.
