Lovely car Simon glad you are enjoying it.
Wow what a home it came from too :-)
Is this the one PacerPete did a private valuation for or something or was that another car :-) ?

I want to get my one looking like that, that blue one doesn't have the rear/door blinds either :o Similar milege.

I can't stand the grey wheels either need to be stock silver, they started that off at 17 large!

Lovely motor.

That blue one looks shit.

E31 Alpina wheels look decent on these. Even better on a touring:

Number plate surround. I wonder are there any that match the red lenses of the rear lights?

Might look naff, just an idea

The very job!

Its the arse of E34's that do it for me or more specifically the brake lights.

So a Heckeblend would ever enhance it or ruin it! :?

Does anyone know of a place or how to sort this. On my bi turbo the speedo is miles out. Way over reading. IE 160kmh is 80mph on the sat nav. 160kmh is 100mph! If it was the stock 10% over read like alot of cars i could live with it but the OBC is telling me fantasies about 30+ mpg which the car clearly isn't doing!


60kmh is 40mph but really i'm doing 30mph. Miles out


I nearly brimmed it last sunday 100 odd litres of super and i've barely done 400 miles and it needs a refil! thats not 30mpg which i can handle but i'd just like it all to be a bit more on the money. Mostly motorway cruising too @80ish. I reckon it might do 500 to a big tank full


Hopefully i can have some ramp time next weekend and finally sort leaking pinion diff oil seal and have a good poke wheels off looksie.

Pacer i need you to translate this hit list as your handwriting is shocking!

This gaff was in West London for years but moved. They come highly recommended, always used to be more along tha classic stuff, Smiths, Jaeger gauges and the likes of custom cables etc. However, I had a "jumpy" speedo in my Scorpio, They sorted that for me. May be worth giving them a call?
