Yep, nice looking car.
It will be interesting to see how you get on with it over time.
What headlights do you have? I am unimpressed withmy bi xenons. I guess LEDs are the go to now.
It's got Bi-xenons that go round corners for some reason, How I've managed all these years going round corners I don't know..
The DS had them in the 70s

You worry too much.
Bolt it back together, but do an oil change after the first start.
I would probably have removed the surface rust with some fine scotchbrite soaked in engine oil, if I bothered at all.
Put it on ebay " spears or rapiers". You might be surprised how much you get for it.
Weren't the 2.5 and 3.0 of certain year prone to failure of the back of the 246 gasketEarly 98MY 3.0l (built in 1997) were prone to a HG failure allowing coolant to escape at the back of pot 6. That particularly failure causes no other symptoms aside from coolant loss and associated steam.
.No. Listen carefullyYes.....but....on the wife's grandland, if you press the key to lock it, you need to press the key to open it again. Keyless entry doesn't work until you lock the car that way again. I hope that is also the case on more expensive models. If not, why not?It is The LC colour, nearest I'll get to one at the prices they are now, It was purchased for a bit less than advertised, It's on a 63 plate, the only thing I think it wasn't speccd with is heated steering wheel,, Would have liked the full fat VXR but the Tax on them is Stupid, did look at one, it was red so that's a no instantly,.
Biggest issue I've found is Traders who can't be arsed, not tuning up, thinking that everyone is a bit dim,and you point out faults with the car that are looking you in face, obvious ones and they get very defensive, looked at one rear beam heavily corroded to excess, needed discs,, Wouldn't discount price, and said it's fine,,, Too
Took a while to find this one, but we have it all locked up.☺️
Try to get some pics up at weekend.
Sounds like a good buy, BG.
You won't miss the heated steering wheel if you grew up with ice on the inside of the windows like I did.
In order to get the heated wheel and keyless entry on my car I would have needed to find an extra £800+ for the comfort pack. Needless to say I didn't tick that box.
Does that provide comfort for the car thieves?
I hear that cars with keyless entry are easier to nick.
Do you keep your keys in a Faraday cage?......supposedly this will stop thieving scum from nicking your car without the need for keys.
"on the wife's grandland, if you press the key to lock it, you need to press the key to open it again. Keyless entry doesn't work until you lock the car that way again. I hope that is also the case on more expensive models. If not, why not?"
Ok?
