Thought i'd better pop in here & say hello

I've been close to buying a cerb loads of times over the last few years, finally took the plunge & bought peterroseys car.
Absolutely love it! Got to get a couple of things done (diff clunk, a few electric niggles) but nothing really serious.

Anyway hello fellow cerby owners

welcome, how does it compare to your previous cars out of interest? (IIRC you had an Mcoupe and a CSL before?)

You bugger, think I was just 1 call after you. Looks like a stunning car, loved the colour.

Was meant to be waiting until the new year before I went Cerb hunting but at that price I just had to pick up the phone (just a little too late it would appear )

Well done and hopefully I will be joining Cerb ownership one way or another over next month or two. May even be another car in the pipeline as we speak so could be sooner rather than later.

Cheers for the welcome guys, definitely enjoying the big grin club
Just dropped it down the specialists this morning to get the few bits done.

Ben/Dean, yes very different car to the csl.
I'm needing so much more concentration to drive the cerbera, so much more involving. Csl is awesome at what it does & was made for, but i must admit it's boring in comparison. I havent really had the chance to stretch it's legs yet as it's pissed down so much. I have noticed the race shocks & the speed it turns in, is almost lotus elise like...

Sinclair, sorry dude hope you get another soon

P.S, Can anyone tell me what the sizes of the speakers are in the front & back?
Also where to get front clear indicators? I heard their land rover ones? Part no?

Glad you're enjoying it Phil! The suspension is excellent isn't it? Thank Joolz (aka Trackcar) for this. That clonk i'm not sure about - I'd check every nut and bolt around the diff as a first step. It made a really bad clonking noise a few months ago that turned out to be nothing more serious than the rear bolts around the diff having worked loose - could be some other ones loose? The BTR diffs have a reputation for being pretty bombproof (and they're rated at 800bhp, so unlikely). I'd also get the exhaust double checked.

Anyway, glad you're having fun with your bargain priced Cerb. And go and do a track day!

Oh edited to add - the clear front indicators are military-spec land rover items as fitted to army vehicles and sankey trailers. Type in 'cerbera' on ebay and you can pick them up for around £40 a set for new-old-stock items. Said to be a bugger to fit as they're held in with mastic. Side repeaters are just Ford spec ones (remove them by carefully waggling a credit card (or something similar) all around them.

Good to hear, I have a huge respect for the CSL's abilities and to hear that the Cerbera isnt disappointing afterwards is good to hear. Cant really afford one, but would love to know how the two compare once you are more familiar with it! (not a great time of year for decent weather!)
