I picked up my new car (S750 LJW) today. I was a little worried about the Cambelt but the car disappointed me, she purred her way home along the 7 Miles to RR Towers.
Having just arrived...
Initial impressions of the engine are very good. Despite having only covered 71,000 miles the Alternator is Whistling and there is a clicking noise which I suspect may be an inlet manifold problem. Both of these little faults are in addition to the required Cambelt Change.
When viewing the car on Saturday morning I noticed the Plenum Drains were well blocked so the first job was of course unblocking them. After taking off all the covers this is what I was greeted with...
A nice little pool of water which was soon dispersed using a trusty garden cane and the other side followed in quick succession.
After the Plenum drains were unblocked I gave the engine bay a good valet- the first one I think it has received in many years:D Here are the finished results.
After having a quick look around the car I noticed these areas of bodywork requiring rectification.
O/S Rear Wing
Front Bumper
Missing Fog Lamp
On my walk round I also noticed this...
A Boot handle on the inside of the boot. It doesn't have any part numbers on it so I am at a loss as to if it's genuine or not. Any ideas?
Part 2 tomorrow...
