110 XS CSW Has Landed!

Collected today from GS Stockport, wow what a machine, absolutely love it. Very smooth comfortable ride, much better than I was expecting from the test drive.

Few little quality control issues though which spoilt things but i'm sure they will be quickly sorted.

Cheers Andrew, build quality is crap though. There are 2 areas on the rear door cills that have missed the paint layer altogether, whilst looking at that I found the entire rear floor area under the carpet covered in swarf from when holes have been drilled, disgraceful really considering the price. GS were very good though and will all be sorted. That and the clunk-clunk-clunk I can hear coming from the rear drivetrain Rolling Eyes

Where abouts Andrew, I'm off to York tomorrow and don't want it to fail? Are we talking about the point it attaches to the diff or the TX case?

Check both ends just to make sure. Mine was loose where it bolted to the transfer box/park brake drum. You will need a 14mm or 9/16 open ended spanner. Thumbs Up

Cheers, will check it in the morning before I leave, will save a trip to the dealer if it is that easy. How easy is the turbo/exhaust manifold to get at? I was reading your earlier post and am paranoid now.

I don't know Chap. There are 3 bolts holding the turbo on the manifold that is all I know. The gasket was replaced last week and all was well, until CraigS called me earlier today from London to say thats its doing the squealing noise again Evil or Very Mad The noise sounds similar to when as a child we would place a piece of grass between your thumbs and blow Rolling Eyes

Manifold thingy is fine but I have got a clunk from the transmission that increases in speed with wheel rotation so something isn't quite right. I'm cool about it as it is just teething trouble.

The tyres were fitted by the dealer as they are not available as an option, they took the original road tyres in part-exchange which made it a good deal.

I'm thinking of getting a set of ATs or even MTs on black ZUs or similar (cos I fancy a set) and keeping the standard wheels and tyres in the garage.
