This popped up in my memories from 2013.
I put a timing chain in the TR7 I bet Dave has done those too @alfatwoView attachment 82788

I don't think I have... but have fixed lots of those Joe Lucas wiper motor powered TR7 head light lifters!

Gosh that's getting into Jaguar money.

 

[Guy]

I would much rather an'06 QPV for that money though....

 

[conaero]

I assume the mileage is stellar?

Diesel & Maserati. Two words that shouldn’t be allowed in the same sentence....

I said that with Jaguar but still rate my XF 3.0 Diesel highly especially when I have to cover big distances when I was driving to Belgium regularly.

Yep. Liked mine. For what it was. Cheap, comfortable, well equipped mile munching.

I would rather do it in your new car though

Horses for courses I guess. I can get my head around a diesel Jag. But Maserati should never have gone that route in my opinion.

It has its place. Having driven a GTS QP6 that we had in, it was a thing of beauty. Inside it’s up to par and the 3.8TT engine needs no introduction. The outside is a little weak but I’m looking for a daily to replace my lease RR that went back.

Currently a Velar is what I would like but it will cost 20k over 3 years, limit me to 8k a year mileage and have nothing to show for it at the end.

So a diesel QP is something I would consider. Other contenders are a Stelvio and actually I have finally warmed to the Giulia, just took me 5 years to get there. The interior fit and finish seems way better than the early ones.

Depends who's paying for the fuel

On cruise control, it's easy to forget how fast you're moving. I don't know if people just get out of the way, but it feels very different.

Don’t shatter my illusions Matt. You’ll be telling me that Father Christmas doesn’t exist and that the Easter Bunny isn’t real soon....

Delighted with mine.

44 years ago today The Sex Pistols signed a contract with A&M Records outside Buckingham Palace. The contract lasted 6 days!

 

[Ebenezer]

Who'd have thought that Punks would even sign a contract?

95k which should be nothing for a diesel

Not for a V8 petrol took both my 4200 over the 100K mark.

It's not 1974 ,surely any modern engine run on synthetic oil should be good for 200k
