Cobra shouldn't drone as far as I'm aware

If its got this far in life then the nikasil bore liners will be fine. If it hasn't had already, you'll need to replace all the timing chains and Tensioners. The plastic Tensioners break eventually taking the engine with it. The new mark vi Tensioners are metal and work fine. Budget about 1k for the work. If the gear box hasn't had the oil changed it will need doing, budget abut £500. As for the rust its common over the rear sills and arches. What you see is where its at, with that rust, it will need chopping out and filling. Most likely the bumper mounts will have started to corrode as well. Also check under the car, the foot wells can suffer as well. And the old exhaust and cats rust, They are solid and fairly reliable cars. There are 2 types of xk's cheap ones and expensive ones. Expensive ones tend to need nothing doing so cost very little to run. Cheap ones tend to need money spending on them, usually bringing the final bill to the same as an expensive

something like this? If you go too dark you'll look like morph.

Contemplated them, but had read mixed reviews.

As long as the paint underneath is good the vinyl should be removable leaving the paint in perfect condition underneath. Best to use heat to remove, same as in application,

looking very tidy

very clean finish, what does the logo say on the caliper, i cant read it for some reason?

actually a bit of moisture makes it more fun, easier to break traction and have more slidy fun

wishbone replacement, speak to alex or keyser, probably 2 hours labour to change one. might also need to purchase droplinks as well, depends what other damage there is. also its often quicker if you can just cut off the drop links to replace the wishbone than trying to remove them normally.

this is what we're aiming for, we've just not got round to sittinng down and transferinng all the direct debits

@*!#! What if it has been crashed repaired, how would I check for this? check for different colour paints on the innside of panels, doors etc, check panel gaps, look underneather are there areas that look out of place, like more clean that other areas, usually a sign of replaced parts. are bits missing or bent in hidden places like under the undertray.

Good man Rich @ OP - Where are you based - someone near maybe able to help EDIT: Ha you beat me Where in Devon are you? its the whole point of a forum, i've been helped inn the past on previous forums and learnt so many things, and its the same on here, its always worth putting back in to a club, especially when there is so much available on here for free. its also nice meeting new people.

yep you're a mug....or an old fashioned gentleman we're a 50/50 household share everything even my farts

if your in or near suffolk you can pop round to mine and i'll do it for you and check the car over. got all the kit needed to clean a MAF and to fix vac leaks. no charge or cost, just helping out a forum member.

we keep meaning to set up a joint account for bills that we both pay into, been married 5 years nearly and still havent got round to it. my issue with full joint account setup is not that my wife would spend my money, its that i'd spend hers, i just check whats left at the end of the month and go buy something for the car so we keep it, that we both have our own accounts and split the bills and grocery shopping down the middle.

the black lustre is just a metallic black, the pic you have seen is a close up so people can see the flake in it. it does look black from a distance, its just close up its designed to look more like a painted metallic finish, i've not had a roof done in it yet, so you would be the first in the club, all the others i've sold have wither been carbon or gloss, and i think 1 lot of matte.

all the best, hope it went well, Enjoy the Honeymoon!!!!

my friends 9 year old daughter got an ipad for her recent birthday, but it was on the proviso that the apple account was done by her mum (or something like that) it basically means her mum is copied in on all emails etc that are sent from the Ipad. she recently got in trouble as she had messaged my wife at about 9pm who sent one back saying "shouldn't you be asleep" kept getting messages so we rang her mum who then comfiscated it for a week same rule applys to kids as to relationships, there has to be trust there or it doesnt work. but having some safety net and a small amount of control is not a bad thing with children as they don't always understand moderation, or what is or isn't right.

i love the RPF01's

all these terms your talking about are like russian to me, "crackchat" "backupsmurf" all i got out of your last post was "topless" i suppose that says more about me than this thread really these are all things i've never thought to look for or use as cheating hasn't really been a priority in my marriage; i trust my wife, and i think she trusts me. i do have this small lumpunder my skin on my back and i swear it has a flashing LED in it. anyway yeah we have trust in our relationship.

as Ekona said, wouldnt you have a burn phone if you were up to no good? thats like a terrorist mail ordering bombmaking equipment ot his own house with label on the package saying "WARNING BOMB MAKING EQUIPMENT" on it.

I do love the car snobs on here, this is a Nissan we're talking about. A solid reliable Japanese performance car that is no longer new, but is not yet old. As with most in the same genre they are affordable and good value for money. At the end of the day we're not talking about Ferrari's here. There are still a few of us on here who either bought new or near new when the zed came out and paid a lot more for the zed.

asking prices and selling prices are 2 seperate things. what people are asking for them may be going up, but it doesnt mean what they're selling for is going up. or if people are achieving their asking price. i do think you'll struggle on that budget, but you never know there could be someone looking for a quick sale who would sell cheap.

Away from the norm? It's a normal F with the go faster bits from the XKR-S, some carbon tat and a hump behind the driver seat! alright its not the best example but they also cut down the windscreen as well
