At last.
I have been lurking and reading with interest on here for some time now.
I promised myself a V8V when i left the forces two years ago. For a few reasons i wont bore you with here, i didn't get round to it. Far too much debate and deliberation but at last im now looking for an early V8V.
I've got the bible but not yet fully digested all the relevant bits but can anyone offer any top tips to look out for when im on my first test drive this weekend?
Something else i have been wanting to ask in this forum for a while. Ive read some great stuff on here about repairs and servicing etc. One thing i am looking forward to is getting into my overalls and under the bonnet. Not to skip a service stamp but i enjoy getting involved and learning about my cars. I wouldn't tackle a clutch and we are all different but, apart from straight forward jobs like discs & pads, how difficult is it to do coil packs, spark plugs headlights (condensation) and the like?

Many thanks.
