Hi sorry I didn’t respond to you, missed your message somehowHiya. My battery has gone the same way. What battery did you fit if it wasn't standard to the e51? Kwik Fit are obviously scratching their heads?
Fantastic seats! Did you recover these?
Thanks Stan. I did the fronts a little while back too. They really needed it.
) - they were filthy too, so much crap came out of them, and detailed the whole of the interior to within an inch of its life! Damn van has never known it so good 
Beautiful red
only seen one other in that colour
Beautiful red
I have seen a few advertised with the red seats and I must admit at first I was not at all sure but it seems to be growing on me to the points that when I am in the right place to buy I would accept them before some othersBeautiful red
Must say if I bought new I would add them as an optional extra ☺I have seen a few advertised with the red seats and I must admit at first I was not at all sure but it seems to be growing on me to the points that when I am in the right place to buy I would accept them before some others

I loved that car and wish I still had it.
Checked all the levels today and found some handy ramps in my wood pileThis isn't my first foray into the world of the Christian Grey interior... This was my little MR2, again, back with red leather!

Anyway, I went to Colin Price to view Elgrands at the beginning of this adventure and was looking around the usual cream/black interiors, mainly S2s and he said he had something very special out the back in the yard which had just come off the boat if I wanted to see it. It was a beautiful G30 Black S3 Highway Star with red leather, just like mine, and the minute I saw it that was it, no going back, it was red leather all the way, again! Especially as the red leather ones have the black, or very dark wood interior, trim and not the more common lighter wood trim on the Highway Star. That to me is the perfect combo for the Elgrand. If only they'd offered it on the Rider.
Sadly I couldn't afford to buy from Colin - his car was £11k give or take, so I had to personally import one. Matt at Aceimports was so helpful and actually found me two cars to bid on, the first one we were outbid on, but we got there after about a month of searching. I ended up paying around £3k less than Colin's car (and had to wait for 4 months - agony) and got a lower mileage example which was the very top of my budget, but totally worth the time and effort invested. With Matt's help we got it totally sorted with a full service, plugs changed and new auxiallry and a/c drive belts for a small additional fee, along with the under seal and decore included in Matt's charges.
levelled it up perfectly
