    My new ride

    Well,I went to see this last sunday and on monday the guy agreed on the price I couldn`t resist so the moment I drove her I thought no more old school,hennce selling some spare bits for P1.She`s not mint but presentable.Just done cambelt kit and water pump,had to get Gav out from Harwich to get me the water pump (Cheers for that mate)Gave her a quick wash but not polish yet as will get some touch up paint,clay her 1st and so on(hopefully)So far I love the car. It`s a 2.4t5,she pulls well and very comfy.




    Me and Gav measured the brakes and they are 320mm,I didn`t know they come standard on these.

    Yep, 320 is standard on that model mate. That's the same caliper as the on on my XC90 front 336s. Different carrier and you can slap 336 disks on there

    Nice to see another ex-plodder on the forum. You have my number if you need anything.

    His isn't quick, my hairdressers car can beat it easily. Though to be fair it's quicker than the ££££let, just.

    Very nice. the price of these now is a steal for bang for buck
    Think 350 bhp is available will the usual mods, exhaust, filter, stg 3 map.
