I've put some 18" Hydras on her. Tyre choice was a tough one but went for Avons. Partly as other manufacturers only give you half a warranty for staggered setups, and partly due to a recommendation from a police pursuit driver. Huge difference in ride quality. No more tramlining. They seem to suit t...

I'm still getting to know Pandora, only have a thousand miles or so in her but had a trip down West to Pembrokeshire this evening so had a play around with a few things. Slipped her into Sport mode when I thought the Missus wasn't watching and flipped the gearbox to the left. To my surprise she repo...

Been having a test.. Noise doesn't vary. Havn't noticed it at very low speeds but anything above 25mph or so it is reproducable. Even very slight pressure on the accelerator produces an electric whirring noise for about half a second after you completely lift off. I'm wondering whether it is the fue...

Sounds like something rotational, a high pitched whine. Almost like an electric motor starting up. Seems to be when the accelerator is very lightly pressed, as in not to the point of really accelerating the car. The noise happens for a second or two past the time when you release the accelerator? An...

My XKR is in for a gearbox, diff and supercharger service. Also having original springs put back on rather than lowered ones. Wondering whether to ask them to just replace all the bushes whilst she's in bits. Zero life them. Anyone have any experience of how much this would involve and likely cost?

Interesting...

I'm looking to put 18" rims on my XKR which currently has 20" Detroits, and thought either Milans or Hydras should fit over Brembo brakes as detailed in a couple of youtube videos.

Is this not the case then?

There was an 18" R Performance wheel & it was called Millan. Couple of other references state that Hydra or the Winter 18" can also be used with Brembo brakes. Sadly the wire spoke aftermarket ones can't, as they look lovely! I'll see what the mechanic comes back with, left the documentation with h...

Wotcha chaps, Picked Pandora up on Sunday so thought I'd give the club a whirl. Few surprises for me going through the paperwork, seems she is a Paramount Performance XKR with all the bits and pieces done to her internally. Though she wasn't advertised as such. She does seem to be a little bit on th...
