Stunning car! but we deserve a better picture of it please.

Nice car Jkay - I fitted the LR fixed steps myself, easy enough if you have access to a ramp , but I didn't so was time consuming and awkward, but got it done all the same. Steve

Lovely car! Just the right colour for the 38 deg sunshine
My niece and detective husband are coming over from Sydney next week and are going to borrow my FF, but in a 30 deg cooler ambient

Mactech it's alright as I have the blue mood lighting thing, takes off at least a few degrees when it's hot.... You'll have to try it on mine next time you Come visit your daughter here

Hey caymanblack - I'm too busy driving to take pics but yes I agree better pics should follow soon !

Her Steve RRVSE - would You Recommend it as a DIY if I can get access to a ramp, or better to pay someone ? 2015 SDV8 Autobiography - Black, Cirrus, 22" Style 707 Wheels

Fitting fixed steps easy enough, the tapping of the holes worst bit!, did it on my previous L405.... Deployable were ordered on my new one, Don't test drive an SC just go p/X yours and get one

It's a stunner Jkay, enjoy mate. Good review too. Cheers, Simon

Hi Jkay - yes, with a ramp , reckon it would be @3hrs work as access would be easy. I already had most of the tools and just needed to buy a torque wrench as I wanted to set the bolts to the correct torque. I also bought some threadlock to put on them aswell so they wouldn't work loose. You also need a small protector to put around brake pipe where ti crosses ridiculously close to the front (driver s side in my case) step support you fit. The protector doesn't come with the kit (and costs around £6 in the UK) , but I used some protectors that normally go around household gas boiler pipes and do the same job. Steve

I guess one thing is clear in that I shouldn't test drive a supercharged, YET... Lol

Thanks Steve

I might leave it to a professional, in case I mess up. I could try myself but probably

Drove a SDV8 today for the first time if the SC is better than this it really must be superb. I found no harshness or diesel noise nor was there any hesitation on pull away , very impressed with this engine.

JKay, if that weather gets a little too warm you let me know and we shall arrange a little house swap for a few weeks

Deal! As long as I can leave the family behind in Sydney too! Lol

This is the weather we are forecast over the next week or so

Yes I do really like the torque that comes with the SDV8, and its nice not seeing the needle drop by the second as I did on my M3
