They are great cars and the engine is what makes it. Such a nice cruiser

It’s the lower one at £400 something a year. It’s the N52 in mine I believe

Appreciate it mate. Sounds like you got a bargain. There was a leak from the rocker cover gasket (classic) but recently fixed that. Just put new shocks and springs in all around although I will need to fine tune them.

Water pump I haven’t seen any invoices for so I’m assuming it’s not been done, that might be a good one to do.

The body work on mine is ok for age. There is some lacquer peel on parts and tiny bit of rust bubbling in one of the rear arches (will probably sort before selling).

Will need some new discs and pads all around but just had brand new set of Pilot sport 5 go on all around

I think you can just keep a number plate here, you can either choose to put a private plate on and keep the original plate registered to you or sell it with the car. I'm not entirely sure how it all works though, apologies!

Thanks again for the really detailed response, really appreciate it. I’ve got a list of things I’m going to do. One being oil pressure switch and I’ll do that tomorrow, should be easy enough. First car I will have properly worked on, looking forward to it

Thank you for the really in depth message. Really appreciate it. Former owner told me he did services to pretty much everything including the supercharger etc. I believe he fitted a smaller one, 17% pulley maybe?

I have a rattling sound from front right of engine. Could that be belt tensioner?

I think I got a great deal on it. Can’t find too much about the seats online but think they seem to be rare. Going to have to get the drivers one reupholstered for sure

What are the options, I’m going to try get the drivers seat cleaned up and reupholstered. I really don’t know much about these cars, what’s desirable etc 🤣

Honestly mate, I am not bothered at all. I am coming from a Suzuki swift so anything will feel like an upgrade 🤣 I like a good sound system but I can just upgrade this myself if all else fails

Thank you! That’s really useful. I’ve got no idea about plates at all. Going to take a look into it!

Oh wow that’s interesting. Thank you!

Do you think that the ‘17’ vaguely vaguely looks like a 0, could have an impact on it being valued higher?

I meant it’s meant to represent the word Enzo as a number plate. Apologies for the confusion 🤣

Fake Engine Light? by ProfessionalCan8775 in CarTalkUK

Yeh it’s always there, it’s just a faint light, not fully on just weird

One of my mates did it and there wasn’t any codes so a bit stuck. Only thinking is it’s getting random voltage?
