are these known weak spots ?

[selondonman]

engine bay looks very dirty and unloved

[selondonman]

car looks so much better without the black wheels

[Steve-B]

I would guess the car is not ULEZ compliant?

Marshall highlight on the health check:

2xECU Codes,
Buckled Wheel
Split Wishbone Bushes
Rear Brake Pads

Have any been fixed and is the EML on currently?

Indeed.
The supercharger tensioners and guides from this time would wear prematurely causing a slip in the timing chain, so the pistons hit the valves. Engine rebuild.
The coolant pipes and thermostat are made of plastic, which becomes very brittle, especially with a car of this age, and cracks or fails completely. Causing engine overheat/melting and a full engine replacement.
The water pump is considered a consumable so if it hasn't been replaced at this age and mileage, it can leak or fail. Again causing engine overheat/melting and a full engine replacement.

these are compliant but you can double check on the tfl website

Thanks Veloce. Why isn’t the seller replying? The other dude asked valid questions above!!!

Yes why isn’t the seller replying to the comments/questions. Does the car have issues

Hi,

The seller has been away abroad and has returned this morning.

He is going to address individual questions later today.

Warm regards,

Hello and thank you for your comments (apologies for the slow response on a cycle trip in Brittany) … our XFRS has been serviced and maintained by main dealers since new in 2014 and throughout our ownership with Vardy’s and Marshall’s. Other than the usual maintenance items the engine is unchanged with no major works or faults. The rear differential was changed c 3 years ago in France returning from the Alps. We don’t like driving the car with any warning lights so any faults have always been immediately rectified. As you can see from the video there are nil faults. Observations include suspension bushes that will need changed at some stage in the future … there is a small dent on the passenger side front inner rim but this is minor and doesn’t adversely impact the outstanding ride or handling of this amazing supercar performing saloon car. Commuting to London on the M4 Ulez has never been a requirement.

"The paintwork looks to be in great condition with only a few minor blemishes to note"

Really? The rear bumper alone is enough to make this comment look disingenuous, surely?!

Hello Speedking76

In some photos it looks as though the front splitter has gaffer tape or similar on it, but it's difficult to make out. Would you please confirm?

Many thanks.

[Rich Runs Cars]

Sorry, I've just re-read the description where it says there is tape on the front splitter.

Did you speak with the MOT tester about the severity of the subframe corrosion that was recently noted, and have you done anything to rectify this?

Many thanks.
