its an s model with cream cloth and body work wise very tidy, inside is not quite as good but i have seen much much worse
its come complete with a file full of bills from main dealer for work done and servicing with all the common problems sorted
bits that i have found wrong so far
parking sensors
FBH doesnt fire up
seems lame just off idle
may need a bottom arm on rear
so been and got myself a blanking kit for the egrs had it pluged in to read faults and 1 was stuck while on diagnostic FBH was primed and forced into a burn cycle and now after a smoke screen works but it had no other codes
got home and fitted blanking kit
so just parking sensor to replace and i am away

I believe that it will be Adriatic Blue as I dont think that Buckingham Blue came out until the 2006 model, if you open the bonnet there is a plate that will tell you for definite.

The clutches are a known weak spot. You get used to it, they can be a right setting off on a slope with a trailer on the back !!

Yes first is just too high but I am getting used to the box and I am starting to like the manual slowly
1 thing I do like about it is the fuel economy much improved over the auto when I have driven friends d3's

Well a couple of things to update passed mot today with just an advisory on rear upper bush it's the inner 1 so going to get that done in the next week or two maybe a complete upper arm is in order
And yesterday had it remapped
And it's now the car it should have been it will go up the drive in high range now pulls away from lower speeds in higher gears
And if you boot it it's off like a scalded cat all in all very happy
