Well, todays viewing went superb, and im now the new owner of one starmist ocean haze 4.3ltr chimaera.

few little bits i need to do to make it perfect, one being get a new clock for it, as while it works perfect, the adjuster to change the time is missing.

also, as the guy was showing me, the solenoid for the trunk release, and wouldnt lock. but i managed to temp fix it by removing the cable to allow the lock to lock. have a new part on order already.

does anyone know where i can get a clock form please,

many thanks

Ah, Ocean Haze is the nicest colour around, I am most jealous...

Enjoy the car, and as above, get the lid fixed soon, because if you run outta fuel.......

got the new part and fitted it today, i worked out the way in yesterday while viewing the car. i was amazed to find where the numberplate lights were though lol

i will add some pics in a little bit.
New fault found though, if you turn the heaters on, the dash blows a fuse, there is a new switch for the heater in the boot (that now opens) so im guessing the guy new about before, so when i have some time, ill take he top dash off and replace it.

cant stop smiling, came from a twin turbo nissan to this, and boy does it shock lol

well happy

another ocean haze coloured chim thumbup - thought I was the only one on here!

Welcome!

And if you get the paint code, could you post it up on here please? It's on my long to do list to get it, but as I am currently fitting my kitchen it's going to wait a bit!!
