It is a good choice to sign up for AA. It is not worth while for you to do a detailed make over (towing prevention) as you left 7 months. Enjoy the ride. Be prepared to spend more time with her.

Ok! Thanks for the heads up guys!

One more thing, how do u usually drive this beauty?

 

Just step on accelerator like a normal car?

Or paddle shift up? And let it down shift itself?

Maybe it's me but 98 or v-power brings out the roar ... 95 gets the belle .... purring .... No roar

Hi need advice from you guys

 

1) headlamp Philips H7 blew. I understand LTA has allowed HID lamps but must have auto-leveling feature in car. I guess I need to stick to old standard light which is a bit yellow?

 

2) my engine check sign came on. Lambda sensor problem but was told LTA inspection shouldn't be a problem even with light on. Anyone has any experience? Thanks

point 1 has a very grey area.

 

According to their site, it has to be factory fitted yet on the point raised it has to have auto leveling feature.

 

Keen to know which is which too.
