Hi,
After a good few months I managed to get one, been looking at this particular one for a while but finally got s PPI done. It came back good although was very basic. However after a lengthy chat with the mechanic I decided i was happy to proceed. Still a little apprehensive as i prefer to see the car, however still on lockdown!! Comes with 1 year warranty which covers most things for piece of mind. I would like to thank Richard Grace for his advice whilst i was searching.70461

Hi,
Already impatient!! Bank holiday will through the paperwork back another day. Anyway, to pass my time i have odered 25mm and 22mm spacers, oil, oil filter, air filter and cabin filters. I also ordered a new battery as it showed up as a little weak on the PPI. Car was serviced not too long ago but i always service any car as soon as i get it no matter what. Its gonnae be a long week!!

Glad you managed to sort it, sounds like a good one.

Hi,
How many litres does the diff take? Had a search and cant find it, I don't have the car yet so no manual. Just getting ready for a full fluid change.
Thanks

Hi All,
So she arrived last night on a transport from London, In front of her was a stunning old mustang. All the neighbours had poured out onto the street to look and when I went to start her I got the dreaded click, click. Battery was knackered but I knew this before I bought her, Everyone had a good laugh but we got her going, they were not laughing so much when she started and I could see them thinking this is our early morning alarm!! Anyway battery arrived today and installed in about 30 mins, had a couple of little issues such as the boot wouldn't work as did the petrol filler door. After a bit of messing both are now fully functioning. Took her for a 20 mile journey around my area and the car feels strong, zero clucks or rattles and everything feels tight. Right at the end I had forgotten about sport mode!!! Wow, absolutely amazing sound, I had an M5 before and it doesn't feel any less powerful even though it is, pulls strong and that SOUND!!! I'm in love!! Car had a Major service 1000 miles ago in October at H.R.Owen so again all good. In her 26k miles she has had 5 services. A couple of light scratches that I will polish out tomorrow. A couple of scuffs on the alloys and I will probably just get a full refurb when things open up more. Probably have the calipers re painted also as they are a little dull. Interior is mint. Engine bay clean and oil free. Everything works as it should. Delighted!!! Thanks for all your lovely comments and help.
Oh and she will be my daily driver!!
