By way of example I offer two of the very recent postings on the battery charging thread. I genuinely have no idea how orange juice containers relate to the charging of batteries, nor do I understand the significance of the difference between "lite" and "light", and Google Translate seems unable to help.


Totally get it. As a mod for a US Maserati forum, and being fortunate to travel extensively to the US I'm mostly OK with the US use of English

Here is a picture of my 2014 engine showing said pulleys in red to change.

yes! Thanks JH those are the ones he recommended. Now anybody know if the drive belt is shared with other marques as the belt alone is coming over £130 pounds!

Thumbs up Update

Thought I give you guys some update with maintenance. All I can say is if yours has not had the brake lines changed last several years then it is best to check them. The bolts etc seize or rust on them. One would thought that being a B badge car they would use decent nuts n bolts but I guess they won’t make money that way. My indie has picked up the arb bushes shot including the arb drop link bushes. Now do anyone know if the bushes on the ARB can be changed or is it a complete arb Jobbie? Thanks
if you guys have time then enjoy my indie videos
