    Misha, phil, lap, make it happen, go as soon you can. Phil, sounded lovely. Look forward to you fixing the exhaust properly, go back to bruno, remap it with the better exhaust, fix the intake properly that will help also. Then sort the suspension setup so it's as best it can for Mishas lap

    • @althejazzman
      @althejazzman Рік тому

      If Alex only checked the tyre pressures after his lap, maybe wasn't before Misha jumped in and therefore Misha's lap would have been wasted anyway.

    Well done on getting an X351 Rory! I have owned the same one for 5 years and 80k miles - Love the thing. Similar age and miles to yours! the 3.0 Diesel can do 50+ MPG, 0 to 60 in 6 seconds and can carry 5 people in comfort... interested to see a video on this soon! Exhaust manifolds, turbos, and adaptive suspension are the things to watch out for. Also if you ever replace the discs, best to get drilled discs as the front and rear brakes are susceptible to getting really, really hot! Also, do use the correct Oil (5W-30 Acea C1) and replace it frequently, as the diesel engines are prone to spitting out cranks if not maintained (Lots of people change every 5k miles).
