Not sure if it makes sense to post it here but some time ago I found this on a facebook page.




PS: Does anyone know how to get this Txxxxxx number?
Why don't people keep these b things safe in the car's folder/box!? I don't have one for curent car and didn't have one for previous car! Next owner had all locks replaced by Aston as they lost the folder of key numbers!

I've looked through the paperwork but cant find any reference to this number :-(

I have seen on a FB post that for the Vantage Roadster you can replace the fuel cap strut with one coming from Aliexpress.
Here is the link and, to make sure it does not get lost, the specs and a picture below. It was suggested to buy the 30N.

Spark plugs for V8V NGK IFR7N10/97105 available at The Green Spark Plug Co

3 pin coil packs for V8V Beru ZS 389 0040100389

Both at significant savings compared to buying from a dealer.

Google around for best prices on both.

Just doing a brake fluid change on 2007 V8V. Brembo caliper bleed screws are M10x1x 30mm long. Some of mine have damaged heads.

I know the side markers on the Vantage are from a Ford Transit Van.

I'm in love with my Vantage all over again because of this.

V8 Vantage oxygen sensors.

NGK part number OZA816-EE1 replaces OZA488-AM1 for the upper or front sensor - same one both sides. 95598 stock number.

NGK part number OZA836-EE13 replaces OZA381-AM1 for the rear or downstream sensor. 92107 stock number.

Identical sensors other than different part numbers because the front sensor has a shorter wire than the rears originally.

https://www.ngkpartfinder.co.uk/catalogues/cars/se...

A Google search of the upper part number in the UK is £50 or less with a similar price for the downstream one. The sensors are fitted to Ford, Jaguar, Mazda etc.

The list for the second sensor is here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/194510702100

Both sensors are identical except that in rationalising their stock, NGK (more correctly NTK) make them with one length of wire now. This will be too long for the front but they include a couple of small tie wraps (hence different part number) so you can loop them to keep them out the way.

Just seen your list. This one has been around for some time and may be helpful.

Oxygen sensors with AM part#1R12-39-10175 cat monitor O2s are really Ford # XR3F-9G444-B1A which cross to NGK # 22500

Another item that may be of interest on OBD2 scanners
The Foxwell scanners starting with the NT530 Professional will work on your Aston. This is what I am using right now. They have Aston Martin software that you can get when you purchase your scanner or as an add on if you already own one. The NT530 I believe will hold 5 different vehicle software at the same time, or at least that is what the website says. I am only running the Aston software right now but I do have the BWM software that I can switch to if needed.
Yes, it will work on the body/chassis connecter as well as the OB2 mandated in the USA.



Cheers
That's certainly good info, will order I o them. Cheers Quad

Yep - FirstLine do them. Quite a few people on here have fitted them and have been very happy.

Anyone know what the Volvo part number is for the (smaller size) wing mirror internals? The motor inside my NS wing mirror is seized and just clicks when I try to adjust the mirror glass with the door switch. AM quoted me around £600 to fit a new motor, but they have no stock and no ETA for when one might be available. I recall that the wing mirrors were all sourced from standard Volvo units, so trying to find elsewhere at non-AM prices.

Apparently this rad fits 4.3 V8 Vantage https://www.facebook.com/groups/1428557477270816/p...
A guy on the V8/V12 group on Facebook fitted one with no issues

Just discovered my Vantage V8 Roadster 2008 boot struts are almost exactly the same as my Audi TT 2008 roadster. Installed the Audi's in the Aston and they work perfectly.

The original pair of Aston struts cost well over 100 UK pounds, Audi cost less than 20
