I was surprised she didn't go sooner too - I thnk the question on mileage did me a few favours to be honest. I also think the light grey interior is not to everyones taste. For me it was one of the selling points as pretty much every car I've had has been black leather.

Emblem are currently giving her a good going over - slightly annoyed that I need a new radiator which wasn't picked up on the PPI - "it was fine when we checked it" said Bill McGrath, hmmm - I guess I must be extremely unlucky for it to go in my 1st week of ownership then eh.

Not looking forward to the bill, but she certainly needed a full makeover.

That's the sort of figure I'm expecting - the rad itself is pretty cheap, it's getting at it that's the problem apparently.

And yes, I can't wait to have her back and resume the honeymoon!

its complicated but you must be careful as when they fit it if they bend any hoses they will need replacing like they did in mine

was all labour.....bastards
reason i got new radiator was when my car went in for service they told me i had to change some hoses so i did....i get car back and starts leaking water..i tell them they say the radiators gone...i had a go at them but what can you do it needed changing..i found out htat if they dont remove the rad to fit the hoses it damages it as its in an uncomfortable place so it was their fault..got the hoses done for free in the end....

Who did it Dem ... See I don't think anyone needs to pay this sort of money these days ... A great Maserati specialist is needed for servive and complicated stuff but a good mechanic could change a radiator and there are plenty of those about with good rates.
