Thanks for the info.

Worrying picture of MB and the new Transit - looks like an overgrown Cygnet (so does the van)

They came on here I think and certainly AMOC looking for a DB7 i6 owner to loan their car for the filming.

Just a reminder to set your record for 9PM on Discovery Tonight

Ed has come a long way from spraying Capri wings with a rattle can

[DangerMonkey]

Has anyone else noticed in the db7 advert (the one with all the keys going down the screen) that they use a silhouette of the vantage instead?

[Simpo Two]

No Sky here but a friend recorded it for me. Looking forward to it - and also a DB7 Vantage Volante if I can ever find one in the right colour combination!

[SLacKer]

Chiltern Aston sold the car to them I believe. Can you get clear side repeaters for the DB7?

A simple mod that looks great and goes well with the clear front indicator.

[Lunablack]

I thought Ed was better than this.... Pretty disappointed with his efforts up to now...

£500 quid for replacement oil pipes.... Crazy.... Why wouldn't you get goodridge, or Pirtek hydraulic hoses for a fraction of the price...??

And then he changes the oil.... Puts all the covers back on and checks for leaks..... Covers always go on last

[Lunablack]

Now he's clamping the wheel alignment stuff to his brand new refurbed wheels.....

Strange.... car is for sale in the classified ad's already for 15.5k,

Maybe they never got rid of the water leak properly ?

No - a bit of rubber piping stuffed in the door seal did the trick surely?

Car was sold to a trader

[GTDB7]

I tweeted to Ed during the show that the water leak on most DB7, especially that amount in the footwell would be from the windscreen scuttle panel.

I doubt that much water ingress could get through the door seals like that. Smoke would not find its way out of the scuttle due to it having to get through carpet, foam, a double skin nefore exiting the air duct under the scuttle panel.

I said to my Son I bet that DB7 has more water in it by now if it's been out in the rain anywhere.

I think they pushed their budget on this one.. not enough left in the kitty to do anything decent.

In the past they have had custom exhaust manifolds made and all sorts.. yet here it's off to the AM main dealer !!!

Also by the name of Brewer. Coincidence?

[StephenP]

It would appear the car is up for sale through Runnymede (which is owned by Martin Brewer) for £16,950 ....
