Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Where do I start? Picked it up after I bought it and the fan system inside the car had shorted and was on constant full blow, this was a indication of what i was about to entail. In the 2 years of owning it I've had the following, 1x Interior fan unit £365 paid by the garage. 1x set of glow plugs £20 1x tracking on front wheels £25 1x turbo £250 for fitting, used one of old engine, see below 1x engine £1200 fitted 1x Catalytic Converter £250 1x Aircon pipe £40 The rev counter also stopped working and so did the aircon after fitting the above pipe, aircon man said it was the condenser, another £160. That was the last straw, traded it in near manchester. Reg is P157 G** in Gold. If you own this car I would suggest you get rid, or you may already have!
What's most practical about your car?
You could use it as a skip.........
