I have a TS rather than the V6. the big things on the TS are oil consumption, weekly check is essential, rear suspension bushes, timing/aux belts and tensioners and front tyre wear inner edges. I dont think the V6 has the same issues with oil or rear bushes. The wheel alignment is so easily knock out. My rear brakes are a right pain, always stripping and cleaning. Don't leave the handbrake on if you are not returning to the car within a day.

excellant cheers (although not for him i fear). will tell him about checking the oil, and the handbrake but the rest will just confuse :lol:

jealously is not the right word but very close
I remember. I had to pull back in so I could see round the corner.

Glad you liked it.
