Title: Spares or repair Facelift 3.0 Elite
Post by: Elite Pete on 17 June 2010, 17:48:10
I sold this on Ebay last Saturday for £1340 as most of you will know judging buy the 60 plus watchers  ;D

It has developed a knock from the driver side camshaft area so I have informed the buyer and sent his deposit back.

I have just had the front bumper painted and the driver side mirror due to stone chips and the car now looks really well in its Midnight Black Metallic. Its MOT'd till June 3rd 2011 and has done 99500 miles and since I bought it I have replaced the thermostat, cam cover gaskets, new plugs, air filter, cabin filter, fuel filter, oil and filter, gearbox oil and filter and I have a receipt to say the cambelt and tensioners have been replaced. Its has the usual 3.0 Elite spec and has the Bose NCDC 2013 stereo with Sat Nav built in but there's no disc. The door is missing from the multi changer and the cartridge seems to be stuck. I am putting the alloys on my diesel so the car will have Facelift CDX alloys with knackered tyres. I have another diesel coming soon so need the space, my loss is another mans gain so make me an offer ;)

Sounds like a plan, when fixing TB's latest destruction purchase, we took one of the leads out to see if it stopped the knocking (it didn't) But in your case could isolate the bank?
