Default I've found something a little different...

I've found this languishing and suddenly it was on my drive!





It has a few issues though...

Firstly, the gearbox is dead. In the same way as my S8 gearbox was but the car has only done 59K! Engine/gearbox would have to come out to let me get at the gearbox.

Next, the power steering pipes to the rack are leaking - gearbox (and therefore engine) have to come out to fix it.

The front brake discs are trashed but atleast it's got the 8 pot calipers etc which work.

Front bumper is cracked, rear bumper is scratched, nsr wing dented, nsr light broken, I had to spend 2 hours getting the boot to actually open (works properly now), all ECUs had stupid amounts of errors in them mainly due to the batteries being dead.

Oh it's overdue a service by 10K or so

On the up side, the engine is very good, no nasties and even with it stuck in 5th gear, it still pulls well.

I managed 23mpg on the drive home!! ... ok the computer was telling me that
