I have had four 405's and this is my second D8 '6. I got her with 83k on the clock and now it's reading 107k so in nearly 25,000 miles all i have had to replace is one corroded turbo coolant pipe which was leaking- a whopping £17 and a couple of hours in my garage to fix.

Yes the passenger airbag cover may be curling up at the edges like a stale cheese sarnie and the drivers window now and again decides to open itself for no reason but it's day's like this that i still think that's it's a beautiful looking motor and i wouldn't give it up for the world.
