It should be driven with care at this time of year.

Let the engine warm up before you rev it hard and let the engine idle for 30 seconds before switching off.

Congrats pn bying an amazing car.

I will be interested on how you get on with the sat nav/tv.

You will find that the fm radio is 18mhz out on the display e.g. 97.1mhz will display 79.1mhz.

The tv will need converting somehow as it will be in ntsc instead of the pal format that we use.

You can get converters quite cheap but it is knowing where to put it as there are only plug couplers on the back of the unit and I think the tv tuner is elsewhere.

I was thinking of purchasing a dvd player that has a tv tuner built in(I think they are under a 100 quid) but I will have to see how to connect it all up.

The sat nav is of no use and I think a whole new replacement unit will be needed.

If you find anything out please let me know.

Many thanks for your comments I found that there is no cartridge for the cd player in the glove box anyone know where I can get one. Is there a mobile phone point or any assosiated wiring that I should know about PS there has been a new clarion sat/nav system fitted before I bought it

All comments welcome. I would also like to find an owners hand book in English

Congrats on your new car.

Invest in a turbo timer.

[ColinBarber]

Have you got any pictures you can post up?

[Matthew_McNally]

sounds really nice - congratulations!

I agree with Colin though

[billy boy]

Please advise why a turbo timer is a good investment I might already have one it was left in the glove box. Does any one know what type of oil is best for the engine. Will post some photos when we get some dry weather.

Here's my Apex'i turbo timer on my aristo TT.

You should invest in a turbo timer because your car needs to cool down for a minute or two before u shut down the engine after a spirited drive. So, unless u wanna chill in your parking lot while the hot oil moves off your engine, you should invest in a turbo timer..... :D

Billy Boy,

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for your 2001 Aristo twin turbo.
