Is it silver? Think I looked at this at Fernhurst last year. Didn't think it pulled as well as a V8 should when I test drove it, and it was not as fast as the one I eventually bought. Not sure that has helped you much.

It's customary here to post up pics of your P&J to make the V6 lot jealous and the V8 lot go

Now why should us V6 lot be jealous when they sound so much better than the v8

Sorry kempster, us V6 boys seem to have hijacked your post.

Welcome to S ownership. I'm sure someone will be along in due course to give chapter and verse on your car. They all end up on here eventually...

[kempster]

ok ok lads enough of the handbags at dawn about which one sounds better , at the end of the day they all sound better than some jap rubbish. WHAT ABOUT MY CAR AND ITS HISTORY AND COMPRESSION READINGS.!!!

Typical compression test results would be between 150 psi and 170 psi, but all eight should be within at worst 10% and ideally 5% of each other (eight at 150 psi is fine, seven at 170 and one at 150 isn't so good).

Yes but grey ones go faster.

[steve j]

But blue one`s are louder

[S3Paulo]

Yes but Red ones look the best...

Ours was originally (1991) registered as J549 LLW and came from The Chequered Flag in Chiswick - maybe yours did too?
