  1. Yeah, not seen a 350 with wire wheels before but does work with the roadster. Gives it a Bentley feel I think.
  2. Amazing deal! You could keep that for another 2 years and get the same money back I reckon.
  3. Citroen DS3 - £20000 - Old school luxury BMW E9 3.0 CSI - £25000 - Timeless classic Plymouth Barracuda - £20000 - Muscle Audi Quattro - £19000 - Rally fun Lotus Elise S2 - £11000 - Track car Wolseley 18/85 Series III - £5000 - In love with it since I saw the Lavender Hill Mob A more eclectic mix for me than most I think.
  4. Well specced car. Not my cup of tea if I'm honest but someone is going to get a whole lot of car for the money I think.
  5. It looks amazing! The gunmetal wheels and black door handles really set it off as well.
  6. I'm not usually too keen on white cars but it looks really nice. I'm not a fan of the pink wheels or the stretched tyre look though sorry.

    Debadged

    Looks a lot cleaner. Love the Z badge too.
  8. Just ask a local engineering company to turn something of the correct size for you. Won't cost you much more than a suitably sized socket I wouldn't have thought and will be millimetre perfect. I've got a mate who can do this kind of thing for me when needed. Very useful ðŸ˜
  9. Throttle body being stuck is possible but unlikely I'd have thought. Does it rev when you depress the accelerator pedal? If it does, it's not the throttle body. I'd double check all your plug connections using a diagram and pm Keyser to see if he knows what the random wires do.
  10. You can change the bushes but not the balljoint I think so depends what's gone.
  11. Was behind one of these waiting to get on a ferry back from France last August. It was about 32 degrees and the driver looked like he was close to fainting lol. Awesome little car though and the sound when he was driving into the ferry was something else There were only just over 3,600 S2 Lotus Europa's built, the vast majority of which were shipped abroad. About 13,000 Europa's in all were produced most of these being the twin cam and big valve versions. A pretty rare sight even when I had mine and very rare now, only 30 S2's and around 200 Europa's in all. Nice car to drive, at least when it was actually running . Pete It was there for a classic car show that happened to have been on that weekend in Le Havre. Ferrari's, Lambo's and all sorts were driving around. The guy who was driving it was topping up the oil whilst we waited to board the ferry, ha ha!

  13. What do the green and blue wires connect to? Looks aftermarket and a bit haphazardly done to me. If your right hand bank is fine then you could try swapping the coils from that bank with the ones on the left. If they still work intermittently, that would rule out coils as the issue. See if you can trace the earth for that bank of coils as it may be damaged/not earthing properly. One final thing, it's a long shot, but have you checked the coil plugs are connected to the right coil? If they're connected in the wrong order, it could give those symptoms. Good luck finding the problem.
  14. Yep, I'd sell it. If you were trying to get shut of a dodgy car it'd be different, but whoever buys it from them is going to get a great car. Think of it like helping their next poor victim
  15. Also, a good tip is to try and tighten the bolt a small amount to crack the rust and then try backing it off.
  16. Some awesome coastal roads, sunny weather, breath taking views and lets just say 'liberal' police And f'ing Great White diving!!! Which as you may have picked up from my name is pretty much the holy grail for me
  17. All good points. Maybe I'll just annoy the neighbours and hang a hose out of my window I guess I need to get used to throwing money away now I'm planning on buying a Zed though
  18. Plusgas is your friend
  19. Cyclist must have been blind! How the hell do you miss a great big white double decker?! Lucky his legs didn't go under the rear wheels.
  20. I actually quite like the gold/blue combo so I think this could work. I don't think the 350 suits a multi spoke wheel though so I'd go for ones with more solid looking spokes if it were me. Ultimately, it's your car though.
  21. I think the obligatory response in this case is
  22. I live in a 1st floor flat so whacking a hose and power cord out of the window, although an option, isn't a desirable one. I could go to my mums house and use their pressure washer but who wants to do that every time the car needs a clean. I do have a garden sprayer but it just doesn't move enough water volume to adequately rinse the car and there's no way to snow foam. This seems like a good mid ground. It's not perfect but I think it would do the job fine if the car was already cleaned and protected and you were just looking to maintain it every week.
  23. Defo! Sorry to hound you .........but I can't remember what your budget/spec requirements are? Just reduced mine on here to £7700??? Black coupe 06 with 32k on her. I'm looking fire a good home for her😥 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I did see it and it's defo within budget. It's a lovely looking car but if I'm honest the lack of GT spec puts me off a bit sorry 😞 I know retrofitting is a possibility but I don't think I'd ever see the cost back on resale. I hope someone comes along for it soon.
  24. That looks great! Price isn't bad at £99 either. The videos on facebook look pretty good, not as powerful as a true pressure washer but that's to be expected. Plenty powerful enough to wash a car though I think.

    Too much?

    Like the shape, although I'd prefer it without the carbon fibre but that's personal preference.
