he has the harnesses so high the centre buckle looks like it'll strangle him :-DSqueaks rattles wind noises, what is he on about? The pedals offset! Seriously
Commenting on a car without passing the 3rd gear driving in straight line, spinning wheels in2nd on wet...I mean common!
The Stradale is simply fully naked, of course you hear gravels and stuff, but squeaks rattles....the two I had never did any of this and I had them for way over 20,000miles combined
Clearly he isn’t ready for a classic sports car or anything older than a year old...he should keep on talking about modern stuff vlogger!

Hi there.
Ive just (today) bought a 360CS (LHD car) and wondered if someone could advise on a couple of bits:
I had a thorough PPI carried out by Emblem in Poole, from which there are just a couple of issues which need addressing:
A new battery is recommended - is there a better battery to use rather than the OEM one?
The A/C pump is weeping ever so slightly - Do you know if these can be rebuilt?
What tyres should the car be on? Its had new Tyres fitted all round, but i don't think they are the correct ones...
Thank you in advance.

1. Go with a Bosch S4 or S5 with similar dimensions, or a lightweight Odyssey Extreme.
2. A good a/c specialist should be able to replace the seals.
3. Pirelli Corsa PZero are OEM, but I run Michellin Cup2's and they are great.

Thank you very much for this.1. Go with a Bosch S4 or S5 with similar dimensions, or a lightweight Odyssey Extreme.

The tyres are Cup 2's, so thats a good thing! Battery sorted, will investigate the A/C unit further.

hey buddy - you possibly bought my ex car (until last year)...chassis 133631 - happy to talk private if it is the car
The car is a credit to you: I asked Emblem to take their time and go through absolutely everything, remove all wheels, under trays, carry out compression check, download all data etc... and the list of bits they came back with was tiny - even then, they were small things such as Tyres being non standard, clock digits not 100%, small weep from a/c compressor etc... all of which they are going to sort along with a Belt Service....I've never driven one - so I'm looking forward to getting it back home!
Hi Chaps,
I went to have a run out in the CS at the weekend and can’t the immobiliser to disarm. I only have one black key fob. The car is on a good trickle charger and fine. Battery was isolated too. I’ve changed the battery in the fob, and the light works clearly but won’t operate the locks. The key operates the locks fine and opening primes the pumps as usual. The red immobiliser light is out. When I laid her up I did notice that the light was on perm when driving. I’ve read that means the batteries in the siren might be dead. So I’ve replaced that (albeit with a second had GM equivalent). When that is plugged in with the master battery off, it bleeps, the old one doesn’t, and then goes off when the battery is re-connected. Still nothing on the red light or locks and starter just turns over. I’ve not got the PIN code or red master. I’ve checked the fuses behind the LH seat and look ok. Any other ideas? Thanks a lot in advance! (Will post on V8 as well!)
Cheers

Beautiful spec. Does anyone know the vin of this car?AmoCS said:
LovelyI find it hard to believe there are only 5 of 1xxx cars with lexan windows though

Not really hiding. It was at Meridien for quite a while and didn't sell. Now re advertised http://challenge-stradale.com/140647.html
Looks great, I do like the CS in black! Shame about the mileage though and destined to be more of an investment equivalent to art than a car.

I think they got this information from my CS registry: http://www.challengestradale.com/lexan.htmlI find it hard to believe there are only 5 of 1xxx cars with lexan windows though
Only 45 cars with lexan windows. 5 RHD cars and 40 LHD cars. But not every CS is listed in my public registry (only 809 of the 1288 cars in total = 62%). So it's definitely more than 5 RHD cars with lexan windows..
