People tend to slag them off because they are found in all sorts of things, but a good Rover V8 is a lovely thing. Where I live we have a 1:4 slope inside the car park between levels and I could spend all day just going up and down listening to the noise  |

HID conversion for your headlamps - awesome lighting power.

Thinking of doing HID conversion on mine eventually but need to get all the other jobs done first. I do remember though that the indicator/dip beam switch in the esprit is weak (they burn out unless you add an additional relay) so I think that would also need changing?

Charlie are you going to the gathering? |

I should be, however just in person, no red panther. Two of the biggest shows (Lotus Elites type 75 are 40 years old this year) and the gathering, and I'm going to miss them both, balls!

Bookmarked now  Is this the same Esprit that is mentioned on Pistonheads about the front caliper brake pipe fittings? If so, what did you work out in the end? Loving how quite the airbags shift the car in that video though   |

Loving how quite the airbags shift the car in that video though yes it is, used the top inner bleed as the new feed with a banjo fitting, blanked the original feed with a bleed nipple (nipple cut off) and only have one bleed nipple now. Its a sod to bleed but it works! |

I actually dreamt I was driving around in this last night, playing "On her majesties secret service" by the Propellerheads. Apt.
Such undiluted rampaging want.

Love it, having had a TVR Chimaera before, the urge to get something with a nice Rover V8 is strong..
