Hi
even with the problems i love it.
Runs great for a diesel.
Just silly little problems.
fuel gauge stuck on quarter.someone has changed the O ring but
still a problem.

Audio system is dead,tuner and screen has been broken by
the first owner.

all dead pixels on cluster.
battery drained over night found radio was the cause.

One more,driver's seat module,cannot move seat steering and mirrors.

Got it cheap.
£1500.for a 2003 3.0d msport black,tiger claws,tints

Looking good, itscoo2pyopants!

I would love to refinish my Style 131s.

This weekend's task was to put on four new tyres and new rear pads and rotors.



Rides (and stops!) very nicely...

Yeah, I'm fussy like that. I masked off the rotor faces and hit the hub with a can of high-temp flat silver paint. Couple of coats holds the rust at bay - at least until a few layers of brake dust cover the hubs..

Rotors are from Italy (InterCar), pads and wear sensor are from Spain (Woking).

I would have too but there's a lot less options down here and international freight is out of the question on heavy items like rotors...
