There are a few on eBay. One in the UK at £295 but a few others in the states on auction format so a bargain could be had. 

I can also vouch for Kenny Brown in Glasgow. He has looked after my Lotus and Porsche in the past. Nice guy too!

Yes I've got the car booked in to a local guy who is one of the best in the business. Goes in on Thursday for a full diagnosis but I know for sure one of the 6x9s is broken but best to get the full system checked.

Thanks. Yes I've already asked the eBay sellers the question but the speakers have been snapped up.

As the title says I'm looking for an ML 6x9 door speaker if anyone has one spare.

That looks very nice indeed.

The standard tyres are 245 40 18 front and rear on 8 inch width rims but it's quite common to have after market 'staggered' alloys to allow wider tyres on the back for better traction. I have 245 35 19 front and 285 30 19 rear. The wheels are 19 x 8.5 front and 19 x 9.5 rear. Some owners fit even wider wheels.

The 6 speed is definitely an improvement but the 5 speed is essentially the same car so I wouldn't be too concerned.

 

Thanks, yes it's in extremely great condition and very well looked after by its previous owners. 

Hi All,

Thought id say hello. After wanting a 430 since I first seen one back in 2001 I finally purchased a low miles low owner 2002 in Platinum Ice with black leather. I drove the 200 mile trip home yesterday still pinching myself that I've finally got one. I really wanted a 6 speed facelift one but couldn't justify to the Mrs the price especially as it's purely a weekend and nice weather toy. 

The car has a few little niggles. Bodywork and interior are both in factory showroom condition but the drivers side wing mirror doesn't fold in or move up or down. Left and right, it's fine. The cruise control isn't working and it needs the front speakers repaired or replaced. All jobs for a sunny day or two.

I have a quick question on the wheels.the car came with aftermarket 18" wheels which are in mint condition but I noticed the rear tyres are 275/40/18 and the fronts are 245/40/18. Are the factory ones bigger at the back or is this a modification? I have ordered a set of facelift factory ones which I prefer and collecting tomorrow.

Here are the current wheels that will be going tomorrow.

Thanks

Well,

First week with the F-Sport has gone well. I have had to adjust my driving style but it's been interesting. I bought the car as I moved jobs and lost my fuel card and so far it's proving a great move. Averaging 55mpg. I'm looking at every journey as a challenge to squeeze another mpg out of it.

My conclusion is that the Eco mode is a bit of a waste of time, the normal mode is where I'm having my mpg game which is good and sport mode for a little burst of madness. My plan tomorrow is to drive it in sport mode all day tomorrow to compare mpg.

Overall I'm one very happy owner!

I thought it would take a while to get used to but it's a very easy car to drive.

Had some issues pairing my Iphone for hands free and audio but sussed it out after a fee hours.

I switched from an IS250. The car was a demonstrator and is 8 months old with 4,000 miles on it. The same car locally was £3000 more expensive and I got what I wanted for a trade in and also got the 3.9% APR deal they are offering on new and demo cars so was a win win and a very easy journey to make.

Hi All,

First post here so be gentle!

Just taken delivery of my Silver CT200h F-Sport. Drove 200 miles to get home. So far very happy with my purchase.

Pictures to follow....

Thanks!
