I think price of Aegean Editions are going upwards in the UK...this one is for sale now for GBP9,995. When I was looking for mine, similar mileage Aegean Editions are around 7k-8k, but I guess they are harder to get in good condition these days and price is going up.
Glad that I bought mine for GBP5,300 (very nearly half price) hehe.

Fixed my CD Changer 'No Disc' Error
Since the car was shipped from UK I can't use the CD changer, it was working fine while it was in the UK but from the day that I got it back in Malaysia the CD changer was showing 'No Disc' although it was full with 6 CD inside that was working fine before. At first I thought the CD got damaged with the heat on the ship and in the port, or the lens got contaminated with the salt content while at sea. Upon opening it up and observing its behaviour, I can see that the part that pulls the CD from its magazine is not moving when its checking the CD. The CD stayed in the magazine, hence the changer thought there's no CD inside. Took the whole CD changer out from the car, gave it a 'phisiotheraphy' a bit and while at it I cleaned the CD laser as well.
CD changer still in the boot. Took 3 screws out from the sides (should've been 4 but 1 is missing I think) and slide it out. Disconnect 2 cables from the bottom.
CD Changer out
CD changer details for future reference
Took the CD changer apart. Only screws here and there, and spring mechanism that suspends the changer in its cover
This is the culprit. The part that pulls the CD out from its magazine. Perhaps because of non-movement for about 4 months it became stuck in its place, so what I did is move the part slowly back and forth a few times until it loosens up a bit (gave it a phisiotheraphy). Test it by connecting it up to the system and voila! Everything works fine. Put everything back together and install back in the car.
CD Changer now working normally. Very happy now

Hi bro, I noticed you when you introduced yourself to me just now, but by the end of the session I forgot already which one was you. There's too many people to remember!
BTW most of the toys already come with the car, I only added some minor stuff only. Mostly DIY because I'm too cheap to send to mechanics hehe. Everything is available on the net so why send to mechanics/accessory workshop when you know more than them.

I had the same 'No disc" problem. Just didn't bother to do anything until I came across your DIY. Well, it took me 3 hours to do mine. Found out its the same culprit as yours. Decided to use some oil on the joints. No! bad decision. The changer got stuck again just after few tests. Probably that was the reason it got stuck in the first place; the original grease was sort of melted and the fragile parts were somewhat attached to each other. Have a go at it the second time. Cleaned and dried everything; this time it took me only 45 minutes. Seems to be working fine. Yeay!! Its been 4 days now....... until it got stuck again this afternoon!! Ohh Well...

No update for quite a while..nothing interesting and busy with work. Yesterday finally sent the car for touching up of the rust issues at the front, repainting the whole bonnet, bumper, roof and side mirror at a paint shop in Kota Damansara as recommended by bro Yazmeen.

Collected the car today..
Collected the car today from the paint shop..Quite satisfied with the job, the new paint blend seamlessly with the old one. Even got both my fenders painted free of charge and all other imperfection taken out with no extra charge. First time customer he says.
The bit of rust sanded down
All the plastic trims and others taken out. This is before the full sandpaper job.
The finished job. Loving the shine!
I even got a small can of paint leftovers taken home just in case the paint got stone chip in the future...
Very happy now...
Got the seats and the rims to do next cosmetically.
