Thanks all Still not looking at perfectly pristine as I'd liked but it is a 210k+ mile car now. Come a long way compared to the state the engine bay was in when I first bought the car.
This is how it looked in 2014 when I bought the car: Quote:

Which bolts? If its the wheel bolts they're just caps off ebay I'm on cleaning duty today as she's at work, but I'm sure I'll have her working her miyagi wax on wax off tomorrow at the NEC when setting up lol. |

Was intending to come to the show on Friday, but plans have changed so now hope to make it on Sunday. Can't wait to see all the additions . Oh, and make sure you take plenty of quick detailer with you, as the one draw back I expect you'll find with your added bling is that visitors to the stand will keep touching the shiny bits! I remember my fuse box cover being permanently covered in fingerprints, no matter how often I cleaned them off! Have a great time, enjoy the weekend, and take LOTS of photos . Cliff

That’s one well presented show car, I particularly like the underbonnet mirrors they show the engine very well. Enjoy your time at the show.

Jeez, I didn't even recognise it was a diesel until you put the 'BEFORE' pics on, Rick! What a difference! You could convincingly tack a 0 off that mileage. BTW, why do you need to disconnect battery power?

Was great to see you both on Sunday The visitors were pretty well behaved across the 3 days, only had a few get a bit touchy with bits on the car, with one who decided to help himself open the passenger door for a better look inside when the windows were open Had to tell one guy to first stop fiddling with my wind deflector and then to get off the rear lip spoiler where he was leaning on it Just dont understand some people's mentality, I mean they wouldn't dream to touch the Ferrari F40 in hall 1 or the e-types, cobras etc so why start touching the more modern cars. We had an absolutely fantastic time though and really grateful for the opportunity to display the car at the show Quote:
As Trikey said the battery is mean't to be disconnected whilst the car is at the show, although no one seem to enforce this as there were car alarms going off a couple times, horns being used and I was demoing my halo ring lights a few times |

Was good to see you & Deanna as well Rick - really glad you enjoyed the experience.
The Typhoon well deserves its place in the spotlight and after all the drama with the paint job, I can't think of a better way to end the year! Cliff

Cheers Cliff Being asked to have it at the NEC has really got my passion for the car back. After all the nightmares with the paint job I really fell out of love with the car this year. But after getting it sorted and taking it to the NEC I absolutely love it again

That's good to hear Rick. I know just what you mean when you have these sorts of issues.
The knocking noise from my V6 really takes the edge off it at the moment and it's hard to feel as enthusiastic about the car as I usually do. Current plan is to not stress about it over the winter months, then have another stab at getting a proper diagnosis in the spring . Cheers, Cliff
