Now then! Nearly 3 years in and a bit of an update, firstly I want to say a big thanks to everyone here, it truly is a great place if you own one of these masterpieces. Do I regret buying it? NO 100% no way, the car has been great over the last 3 years/15k miles including a trip to Europe, problems? not really, it's never let me down although I have replaced quite a few parts , more down to age than anything and also some were precautionary.
2x front drop links
Discs and pads when I first got it
Coolant hoses (one to the passenger side turbo blew so I replaced them all)
Radiator
A Mr Davy Pedal pot (thanks
@davy83 )
Driver's door lock
Rear tie rods ( thanks
@2b1ask1 )
Thermostat
Fan resistor
Starter Motor
Knock Sensors (while I was in there)
Replaced the headlights for better ones.(thanks
@madmanmart )
I also did some other work like rechrome the grille and replace a broken airbox , just general stuff. My next plan is to have the wheels refurbed and sort the driver's seat out, it is showing its age although not bad, the passenger seat shows it up lol and the driver's window mech is dodgy which again, I understand is common.
Stay happy people and thanks!
