Already above my budget. Its a heap.

Its going to attract a lot of chav attention, and lacks the power to see them off.

LOL I bought it. Glad you boys like it.  :y Only wanted the spoiler but had to buy the whole car and trailer it back to swindon. As somebody has said it does need that awful paint work sorting out. Think that maybe a plastidip in matt black is on the cards. Gotta be cheaper to run than my 3.0l mv6. Which is now gonna be stored in the garage until this new one dies and i strip it. Interior is total shi*e and i have a spare elite interior that is going in. Probably fit an irmy front bumper and facelift irmy rear bumper with the twin exhausts. should look a bit better then. Will post some photos if i get round to doing it before it dies. In regards to the fuel system any suggestions as how to give it a clean out????  :y

I think Elite Pete has one for sale
edit, just noticed its a pfl.

Post by: MV6Danny on 16 April 2013, 12:41:07
I already have got the bumpers. Just need to source a set of front fogs for the pfl irmy bumper. The fl rear bumper came from serek and the twin exhaust came from robsey and came off a diesel so no need to modify it.  :y

Remove fuel filter and replace with new one, drain what is left in tank half fill it with fresh diesel and put a couple of bottles of wynns diesel injector cleaner in with the fuel and take it for a long run up the motorway, also some petrol mixed in a tank of diesel works too.  :y :y You will have to take the inlet pipework off and clean all the sh*% out of it.
