Passed through 60,000 miles, and broke it ::)

Need to jack it up later and refit the under tray to the nearside suspension arm by the looks :-\

3.2 Air con gassed after changing the valve, set super cold  8)

Oil change on the 3.2, seriously over due! Is it me or are engines much smoother and quieter after a change? Placebo effect maybe.

Yep, thanks for that.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least, it's been surprisingly reliable for the last 6 months. ;D

Wow

Seriously impressed by the neatness of the welds. Presumably it has been TIG welded.

Is that your handiwork CEM?
