every 3500kms????!!!! - Is yours an HDi? - I think I want to go 5/30 full synt. Changing on 10k mls interval (currently 85k mls) Trans oil and pink antifreeze suggestions folks?

thks, beyond me due to arthritis and in seventies .. so, could main dealer just do a pin swap, or would they insist on new hinges, painting etc etc? Keeping door in place, together with electrics makes much more sense - anyone done this pin swap job?

I park it in front of my regular country pub most days, sitting opposite...and cant take my eyes off...studying every single line....realising just how special it is.... :) Add another dual exhaust and u have a worthy competitor to Ferrari, looks wise?

I Just dont get it - Nobody waves, people walk by them as if it is an everyday design - it is Not! To add insult to injury, there are so very few members here who get actively involved, unless their car has suddenly developed a problem Show some love guys..............

I can recommend the HDi pulls from idle in 6th 52mpg The ramp up of 250lb ft torques pushes u back hard in second and is like a powerful jet liner in 3rd, and 4th too in winter cold air Temps above 10c really dull the performance it seems Gearshift is best I have ever used and couldnt be...

I simply used autoglym super resin and buffed vigorously by hand to clear substantial longterm clouding - using a rotary buffer, avoiding paint, followed by extra gloss protection would b ultimate :)

eeeek, your roads are infinitely better than mainland then... u can expect to hit a 4" deep vertical sharp edged hole of several square feet, multiple times a minute on a lot of the roads... I too looked at HR, agree visually too much gap, despite 19" rims. In Theory (HDi model) and because of...

I finish the hoops with Extra Gloss Protection by Autoglym after buffing with the super resin - lasts weeks sol far, and genuinely dazzles like a mirror from across a road Would Love to see an RC fully alloy bodied like this... :) Look sooo futuristic :)
