Recently bought an X300 4.0l LWB
An ebay win but seems to drive ok but it came with no service history not even a handbook.
Ive done about 500miles in it already and its been reliable so far.
So far all Ive detected is a slight rattle from the front of the engine not the timming belt its coming from near a pully wheel so could be a bearing, also the micro switch on P is playing up, P doesnt light up everytime on start up it needs a little wiggle.
Cars got 107+++ miles on it but hasnt had the 100k service yet, so it goes in saturday for that and a general check over.
As I said no handbook (I am trying to source one) so I have a few questions:
1) In the armrest theres a switch valet :question
2) Head rests wont go down is there a reason for this :question
3) How do you set the 3 pre memory settings :question
4) Ive got a set of 18"Pentas to put on will this affect the handling changing from the standard wheels :question
5) Light in boot doesnt work :question - could be a fuse If I knew which to check
Thanks in advance
Anyone with a Handbook wallet who would like to exchange it for some beer tokens please PM me

 

Hey congrats Car-Nut, you really are going to need a bigger garage.

Regards the Driver's Handbook, did you catch Oubadah's post?

Also available for download from the FAQ.

 

Wow, that's a nice little collection you have there. Can't wait 'til I'm rich enough to buy me a Mark X/420G.

 

Oubadah, personally I think its the restoration cost thats expensive not the car....

Translator, thanks for that I did find it, but after I posted wont get a chance to download till the wkd, so if anyone can answer my queries that would be great

 

Congrats, have many happy driving
