    Hi Ken welcome to the collective.

    They only sound like a Subaru when a couple of coil packs fail

    Thanks Black Olive and Ragman, Thats interesting, on a couple of start ups i've noticed a message to "check engine" pop up on the display and felt that it was'nt firing on all 8 however she runs and sounds ok especialy at crusing speeds. Please tell me more.
    She's due a service and hopefully that will be this week.

    Talking Kens new baby...

    Thanks again for the welcome and thanks to Tim for posting the pic. It dose put a smile on a lot of faces especialy mine. Ive not seen another around the Colchester area before, in fact I dont recall ever seeing one. I came across the model whilst searching for V8's in Google. I was making plans to go to Antrim to look over a XPower Grey 260 when a Trophy Blue SE came up 22 miles from me and at the right price, as Blue is the colour for me I went to see it and even though it was dark i did the deal there and then. Its like new only a few scuffs on the wheels, 50k on the clock, service history up to May this year new tyres, clutch, clutch master and slave cylinders and front discs fitted earlier this year. Fuel pump was replaced last year, its an awful lot of car for the money, i'm chuffed to bits with it.

    Good to hear you're pleased - must admit my purchase process was similar
