2009 R3 in Brilliant black.

11 months MOT with no advisories and no rust.

It's just had a check over along with an oil, filter and plug change at RX Motors.

Compression test at 67,118 miles shows:

Front rotor 6.6, 6.3, 6.5.
Rear rotor 6.3, 6.3, 6.4.

This looks interesting, kind of a supercar/modified car show. It popped up in my facebook feed, looks to have originated in Exeter, but has expanded to other venues. This one is in the Bristol City football stadium Ashton Gate, about 10 minutes walk from my house.

Just trying this on here before i put the front seats on Ebay and they end up in an old Defender and it is also a crime to rip them out for the heating elements because they are very clean.
Complete black leather interior in fantastic condition with front heated seats.

These retail at just over £40.

One diff from a low mileage R3, never got around to fitting it to my Kuro. Collection from GL12 area.

£400 ONO

Want to drive your R3 to the Alps and be the coolest car on the mountain? Live in the Highlands and want to drive all year round? Want to make sure you can get to work on time on that ONE DAY in 2 years that there's actually snow in England? If so then it's bargain time!

These are the fancy Konig...

Full 9 speaker set for the R3. This was my spare set that I bought from bigpete. Think I paid £100 and is what I'd like for them.
Collection preferred, to save on the mountains of packaging I'd want to wrap these in, but am willing to post for an extra delivery fee.

...possible? I assume not, but after having my fuel injectors serviced I started wondering about the oil injectors. I have no reason to believe they are in need of a service or replacement, but then again I probably wouldn't know until it was too late anyway 😂

...It's been a while.

So I had one for ages. Ran beautifully, but the constant fight against the rust was a nuisance albeit I had the plan to get it sorted once and for all.

And then Covid happened.

Hi all,

Still potentially interested in my old PZ back.

I always keep an eye out for it popping up after the buyer said he would sell it back to me if he ever wanted to sell on, needless to say he didn't, and sold it to an unknown.

It's still in MOT, however it's expires 29th Nov. Looking at...

Hi,

Long shot I know but I am looking at buying an S1 (04 reg) 231 model, but the one I've seen doesn't have a compression test. It felt & sounded good at weekend, but of course that's not a reliable indicator.

Does anyone on here live in or near the Cheshire/Wales border area, own a compression...

Has anyone painted their intake manifold a different colour? Please share pics if you have. I'm looking for ideas and some inspiration.

First of all, I would like to apologize for the incredibly stupid question, but I have clue where this wire is. It comes up as light green on the driver side kick panel on all the forums online, but I'm not sure if I got the right one and I'm unsure on how to test a negative polarity wire. Please...

Free admission and always a good turnout.
