Well it's been 2 months down the road since I have owned the FF. Trouble free 4,000 km travelled so far into towns, high speed highways run and travelled up into the highlands. Of course the usual electrical gremlins is there but nothing bothersome or worrying so far. Consumption is okay considering the weight and performance.

indeed it's expensive in direct comparison to the UK prices. I paid mine a 2006 UK parallel imports with taxes and everything approx £50k maybe. Anyway for any cars purchase price here in Malaysia is expensive(practically double or triple whatever you normally pay for a new car in UK) but the good thing is in term of maintaining it quite cheap. In comparison to replace the reverse camera all inclusive cost me approx £250.

the alpine camera sitting in the original housing. Took abit of creative fillers to fill up the spot and make it solid as the camera assy is smaller

An event waiting to happen... when it comes to cracked windscreen. Just so happen my luck after just 2 months having the FF, one fine day while exiting a highway interchange out of nowhere a stone hit my windscreen and needless to say within hours(whatsmore with our temp here averaging 35c) a full length crack developed which warrants immediate replacement. Thank God the windscreen was insured for a good £1200.

I had this happen to one of my cars years ago. Happened again after two months with the new windscreen. This time the crack was all along the bottom of the windscreen and since it was an old car, I just left it there. Had the car for years without issues. It happened on a very cold winter day, so also a lot of heat stress on the windscreen.

Had a good run since April and 2 oil changes(changed them at 10k km interval). No problem whatsoever runs beautifully on daily basis. Covered a total of 17,000 kms so far and yesterday coming back from dinner a SUSPENSION FAULT msg came up. With the engine running from the outside I can hear a whooshing/hissing air noise from front RH side and I knew exactly what's wrong. Car was sent today to a local indie specialist and let see the damage shall we. The garage will do a thorough check whether it's the air line or the absorber bellow, but I am betting it's the bellow. The LH side front absorber will be inspected as well and changed just to save any future troubles. The car also previously has twiced a REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE msg(it was a hot day and I was really working out the supercharger and engine) and since my VIN is affected, I am asking the garage the check on the supercharged aux cooling pump wiring and replaced the pump as well as recommended in the TSB.
