Hi an welcome Are you looking for a pacific model?

[jules_s]

Welcome, It'll probably be easier to get somebody local to you (there are loads) to show you around one and take you out for a spin. There is also a buyers guide somewhere on here but the first link I found in YoB pinned thread is broken - might be worth the mods editing a better link?

I'd wind up with a VX in the condition I sold mine in if I followed the old buyers guide anyway

Just down the road from you in Sutton PM'd

[VXR]

You won't go wrong with MrSimba's advice.(he may get you cleaning your engine bay so you can eat your dinner of it though) lol

[MrSimba]

yeah but my advise is usually take everything out & change it... oh well he said he was into modding!!!

[GiGo]

Go and see MrSimba, he'll tell you all about them He's a top bloke too, but don't be tempted by his modding, it will cost you a kidney or too
