[quote=""CondorX5""][quote=""AW8""]Superb car & hopefully one that will kep you happy for a while.

Is the P38 finally going then ?[/quote]

I've finally got around to putting the cherished plate on retention, got the paperwork back and ordered and received new plates for it.....so I can't think of many reasons why I should still keep it!! As my contract in the South East is drawing to a close its going to get very full up the driveway....and thats really the deciding factor!!! I've started putting an ad together between everything else I have to do, and I've got some decent pics, so in a week or so....... [/quote]

I'm sure it will pain you to part but it makes sense.

Jumping on this thread what would people recommend for the treatment of the exclusive nappa leather. I have tried Autoglym with so so results

I have dedicated leather conditioner from http://www.protechleiden.nl/?gclid=CLKv ... lAodvCi-_g . Not sure you can get it here though, but it leaves a lovely dull finish on my nappa in the M.

Try Gliptone mate.............not used it myself yet but hihglt rated on detailing world

I've used Gliptone on my old car and its great stuff. The bottle went missing last year so needed a new cleaner. I would recommend Gliptone but if you would like a alternative which is on par for this cleaning and moisturising properties then have a look at "Simoniz Leather Care Cream". I bought mine in Halfords but noticed it in Tescos recently also.

Here is a link to reviews on the product. I have used this on both of my Exclusive nappa X5's and this product taken the grime off and made the leather really soft again.

I really hope that isn't pictured in your car with the leather like that

I have also heard good reports from another forum of the Gliptone. Try and have a search on Google or suppliers on Detailing World for good prices.

Nice car

Will be interesting to hear your views on the gearbox. Mine used to be clunky between 4th and 5th and drive me bonkers!

Other than that a great car, even after 35000 or so miles in a year and a huge petrol bill (not to mention my relationship with the local Shell garage!) I was fond of the car.

I've got pics somewhere I'll post when I get a chance.
