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.

So after a fairly short search I pulled the trigger and bought this car yesterday....

Had a drive back from the isle of wight last night to surrey and didnt really explore the performance but from the bit I did it was fantastic! So planted and an excellent noise!
My 3 year boy was beside himself with excitement when I drove up the drive! Very much looking forward to some fun drives soon
Congrats and agree with sentiment that this was a no brainer. I think you got fantastic value in that particular car...And welcom to the 3.9 club
My kids love going for a spin in mine - so you'll have amny happy years of motorting with your 3 year old.
Enjoy. :thumb:
Hi and welcome, best shape and paint, biased, the Hartech build is a peace of mind mod I would love, still have a little ims paranoia
Enjoy and drive :drive:
Thanks for the welcome guys! Glad you feel the car is a good one! It certainly feels great to me!
I didn't go via the hind head tunnel doh! Should have done! Went up the M3
Was very impressed with the MPG, from getting off the ferry in southampton to arriving in Epsom it averaged just over 31mpg and that was going at a steady 75mph. Sorry I expect I will be banned from the forum for that comment!
31mpg is interesting... shows the 3.9 conversion doesn't hurt the MPG...
Did you declare the engine to the
insurance
co as a 'mod', if so did they load the premium?
Yes the engine is declared to
insurance
and has also been corrected on the V5.
unfortunately it has meant that I couldnt go through admiral which would have been £300 but had to go through adrian flux at £750.
Took my wife and son for a ride this eve and gave it the full beans a few times, their reactions were fantastic, took some serious negotiation plus tears getting my son out the car when we got home!
Wipers are terrible so have ordered some PIAA silicone ones that I have fitted to my other cars. The headlights are also pretty woeful (non litronic) So will get an HID kit as a short term solution as would like to properly upgrade to litronic's incl the self leveling in the medium term.
