Just a couple of interior shots after spending this afternoon giving it a spruce up - well impressed with the condition of the leather

Hi Paul! Looks clean! Was looking for the air ducts for the brakes but just realised it's a 530!! Would be interesting to know what the mpg is like on that as I quite fancy one myself now that they're getting even cheaper! Means I can save the clutch on mine when going into town.

Nice motor. How much did that set you back?

Cheers for the comments, mpg was just under 28 and car sat in limp home mode for most, wicxh has since disappeared (think it didn't go very far) so think mpg could be just over 30 and paid �550 for it

That's incredible! Good work - was that mainly motorway driving or a good mixture? Wonder if the box just needs an oil change and a good run then...? |

These g/box ecu's are susceptable to voltage change thats why we think it went into limp-home mode, but went once stopped at services. It's been good as gold since. It's been a mixture of roads but i'm pleasantly surprised by it and still have a large grin when driving it

Oh right, so could even be as simple as needing a fresh battery?! Well I'm pleased to hear it's giving you a grin - that's what it's all about! Think I might get looking again myself then. |

The battery is new, but the previous owner only took it about 5 miles each way and didn't use it much, so guessing it needed a run

I wondered why you'd been so quiet lately! Nice looking car, the wheels go very well with the old girl and what a bargain. Nice one Mike |
