Phil, are there good used parts sources you’ve identified? Best, John The aftermarket for these cars is surprisingly good. I did a little research before buying  |

Nice looking motor  Yeah, it's specced for a HUEG AGM. Fors had just started using them back then. Aston also, and the bigger Ford cars. Phil PT Cruisers were fitted with AGM batteries from the start, 2001 IIRC |

Super duper(!) premium sound system.  Repaired a couple broken wires. It powers the door speakers, and there's wiring for a second amp and a sub. Phil Heh don't usually see a V12 in an X308 😉 I do fancy another luxobarge, and particularly a jag, doesn't help that there are so many x300s and x308s for sale at any one time.. Yours looks quite tidy! |

What a mess.  Pulled the gearshift lever apart to change the illumination bulbs. Turns out the ones I ordered are wrong.  So, in the interim, fixing up the broken plastic lugs occurred. Got most of them at least. The plastic is quite brittle. Thursday the correct bulbs arrive, so they tell me. Phil |

Love these cars...
So what's broken, really? So far it's been peanuts stuff. Any big items?

Finally the correct bulbs arrived.  Tiny little things with a blue cover over.  That fixed the switch illumination.  Had to then solder the board in the car because it didn't want to come out separately.  Awkward but worth it. The gearshift track now lights up again. Gotta pull the climate control console out, fix the mounting lugs and repair the bulbs in that, maybe also look at the display and find why it's half not working. Phil |
