That's brilliant, being a 1 owner car is something special but with that mileage as well. I've done 50,000 in mine in the 6 years I've owned it and still enjoy every miles so doing 385K is a bit special. Mark, this is a thread resurrection from last year 😄 To update, as of March 24, the car is 21 y...

A known pita job but anyone done it themselves or had it done to their coupe or touring?

At least once and probably twice

Left it to CPC to do as part of whatever long list of things they were doing already.

That came from my contact at Buchloe - it's the old school ledger thy had been using for all models over the years. Probably all computerised these days, unfortunately

Followed you onto the M4 westbound at J11 (Reading) this evening at about 6pm, before coming alongside - lovely car and excellent plate

Excellent photos - particularly the one of my daughter pointing at her head!

What a small world

Condition aside, why do so few high spec newish Alpinas not have adaptive cruise? I’d live without it this time mind…

I drove a car with ACC over the Christmas break and absolutely hated it! Didn't feel in control of the car at all - which wasn't a good feeling, as I am sure you can imagine

What were the symptoms for your Head gasket Simon? I'm sure Simon will be along shortly, but here are my experiences of a failing B3S HG There are a number of indications: - mpg worsens unexpectedly (depends, of course, on how carefully you monitor this) - pinking under load at lower revs (open the...

Lovely, very nice car. I had a little peek but didn't want to get too close in case somebody thought I was up to no good!

No problem! It is filthy at the moment so you didn't see it in its best light - but thanks for the compliments.

Did you watch the game?

There are a number of indications: - mpg worsens unexpectedly (depends, of course, on how carefully you monitor this) - pinking under load at lower revs (open the window and listen as you go up a hill und...

That was me in the Players parking area - watching my daughter returning to play for Bears Women after a couple of months away

I've been running P Zero's on mine now for a few years and really liked them. I've recently been trying to source new ones for the rear and experienced difficulty. In the end i e mailed Pirelli UK and they have told me that the P Zero has been discontinued :( :( . I'm now looking at Michelin PS5's....

Congratulations Charles :dance :dance 104000 miles on mine. Anything i should be considering? If you haven't done it recently, then expect the Head Gasket to need replacing soon. On average, mine needs replacing every 85k miles Your shock absorbers will be getting tired but, unless you notice a sig...

Changed another original part - not many others left!

After 21 years and 402k miles, one of the lambda sensors finally decided to stop working.
