Finally got my Cerbera!! But I've already got a problem
Discussion
Hi,
I'm Nils from Belgium.
I've been the proud owner of a 2002 Cerbera 4.5 since past friday!
It's a wonderful car but there's a problem I don't understand.
Under heavy acceleration it pops and bangs...
Kind of like a heavy machine gun fire.
It's had his 24K service 1200 miles ago with James Agger.
So normally they would've check the tappets and such.
I'd like to take the car to Joolz for the short induction.
But he says it's not a mapping problem and it should be sorted before he can map it.
Could it be the throttle pot? (can I check?)
cracked headers?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
Nils

OF COURSE!!
It is a blast to drive.
Love the sound, the interior, the handling, the steering,...
I just love the car!
It's a 2002 mk2 4.5 in Grigio Titano and portland grey interior with blue carpets.
The pictures don't do it justice because it's a lot nicer in real life.
What's on the to do list:
-Short induction an remap from Joolz.
-Fix the airboxes (the back plates are cracked)
-replace the clutch master cylinder
-if there's any funding left --> performance headers
-Enjoy it as much as possible

Hi James!
Yes it is a wonderful car indeed!
He gave me a folder with a portfolio of the car But any more info you've got is more than welcome
I'll PM you my e-mail.
Are there things that need attending on this perticular car?
Yes he has quite an impressive garage. He was getting rid of the Cerbera, the Viper and the Z-Cars mini for a murcielago.
Regards
Nils

Well I'm going to do a readout today
But I'm going to replace the spark plug, leads and the coil packs.
It all looks like it has never been replaced (apart from the spark plugs)
It's not a big job and not to expensive parts.
And decided to make the backplates myself in aluminium.
£195 for two backplates is kind of steep IMHO.
I'll fabricate them myself with some 70mm tubing and 2 aluminum cutouts.
once painted black It'll be hard to spot the difference

Hi Mr. Cerbera
thanks for the invite!
That would've been a great idea if I hadn't ordered everything yet
Yes I've already downloaded the diagnostics software but my local computer store didn't have the cable.
They'd have it by tomorrow.
I indeed know MF Cars, but I don't want to bother him to much. He has enough work as it is
Thanks
