Hi, I,m Steve and I live in sunny Margate, Knocking on at 56. But i don't feel like the guy I see in the mirror. A petrol head at heart I have always ridden motorbikes and have a couple in the garage. Love Jaguars I also have an XJS-C 3.6 cabriolet on a D plate. Just recently bought a 2014 V6 S coupe in Silver, Black 20'' wheels, interior, window tints.active exhaust, parking pack, heated memory seats etc Looks and drives fantastic.
I was looking for a later car, but found this one in Tunbridge Wells at a Lamborghini dealership taken in part ex. 2 owners 16k mls, perfect history and in superb condition. The price was right so it's now mine.
It has water ingress into nearside rear lens and the sat nav is not receiving GPS signal. But the dealer is sorting that for me this Friday with it's service included in the price. Are these common faults ?
Looking forward to reading up on past posts and gleaning info along the way, I think i may need some rear tyres soon :D so will look for info on what you all find best the P zero's or A N other.

Regards

Hi and welcome - post some pics!!

The Sat Nav issue will be a new antenna needed at a guess (mine did the same).

A lot of folk on here think that Michelin Pilot Sport 4S are the business on these cars.

And welcome to the forum and an exclusive club! :D

Welcome. Car sounds great. Don’t they all? [emoji6]

Everyone seems to rave about Michelin PS4’s. My car is new and on P-Zeros. Got to say I’m happy with them so far but those have all been on dry(ish) roads and obviously with full tread.

I'm with the crowd and recommend the Michelin P4S. Pirellis were perfectly good until worn, at which they became like slicks in the cold/wet. You'll definitely know when the Pirelli's are past their best as it'll be very twitchy in the wet and the wheels will spin up on hardy any throttle.
