I'm gutted for you stas. I know you've had a load of problems with it, but you would expect the factory to get it right.

You mentioned £21k....i'm assuming that includes buying the car in the first place. I hope so

[satman]

I know this isnt really your problem to sort...but isnt speedo/rev counter/misfire a symptom of the large fuse going or gone...might be an easy thing to rectify.

(I know it wont have anything to do with headlight aims, before anyone adds a sarcastic remark!)

[kojak]

Good point Paddy. Hope thats all it is.
My rev counter stopped, and I lost power. Then MIL light on, and then I broke down. 0.60p to repair.

Wish it was always that simple.

Symapthy for you Stas, got mine back yesterday, 8 months after my car jacking, rear quater from where they rammed me, full respray trip down south for a service (where they arsed about with it for 10 days) recovered back to Birmingham for a proper service & replace the sump I ripped out, taking it to a quote for the bodywork.

Total £8700

It's sitting outside work now & I can't help looking at it. Which is just as well, cause I daren't drive it in case something f***ing breaks on it.
