Re: Club Member Discount with XPart
A lot has changed at XPart since the start of the pandemic, they have scaled down their staff dramatically and I'm not surprised you didn't get an answer after a couple of weeks...there's basically just one person there now doing all of the backoffice work. She's very willing and nice to talk to, bu...

Re: Engine Failing to Start
your main relay is at fault here. Common issue, the hum you mentioned is the fuel pump and the main relay activates the pump, so... If you are handy with a solder iron, easy to cure yourself, just disconnect it from behind the centre console (it's located on a bracket behind the ashtray, you can get...

Re: R3 No.1 is alive and well at Gaydon
R3 #1 had been with the BMM collection for years, it was already listed in the 2016 inventory of their collection, so I'm assuming it was in storage? Was probably not given to them straight out of the production line, as was traditionally the case for "firsts and lasts off the production line&q...

Re: How many R8's left - do we have a definitive number?
It's just a snapshot, I will be putting the date on the page when I do the next update, just forgot to do it in that release. I also plan to include a statement to the effect that it designed no to be viewed on mobile devices. When you view it on mobile phones the models chart in particular doesn't...

Re: How many R8's left - do we have a definitive number?
The SEi and Sprint were effectively limited edition (added value) models based on the 214 Si, so I suspect they did not get a unique VIN identifier. Initial inspection if these particular models in the data would suggest that is the case. It is. There never was any specific VIN coding for the SEi, ...

Re: How many R8's left - do we have a definitive number?
Where did you find that table scoubix? I've got all sorted of versions of workshop manuals, the EPC and even some old microfiche parts lists here but none have that table in them. It will be very useful for me to verify that what I reverse engineered is actually correct later on. Have it from the &...

Re: How many R8's left - do we have a definitive number?
I see no 220 Gsi :scared I did wonder how long it would take someone to notice that. I spotted it not long after I posted the table while further refining the data. I'm now at the point where I have successfully parsed all of the data except for 23 vehicles due to completely garbled VINs, plus thre...
