Our cars gave up the ghost so before it goes off to car heaven does anyone need any parts?
Alloys have 4 good tyres and it’s also a towbar we can remove.

It’s a navy blue colour. Around 116k miles

Went into limp mode. Got inlet manifold welded to remove swirl flaps and the guy couldn’t get it running again. Fitted another fuel pump and it drove about 2 miles and gave up the ghost again.

Engine won’t be sold as expected haha.

yeah lights good, I’ll forward a picture to you

This is the reason I recommend not ******* about with what the manufacture designs. Fix the fault properly, don't remove the part completely. I assume this was the 150bhp? My Dad has a 120bph auto, first one was a POS which had been mapped and messed with, this one has been very reliable for the most part, only issues have been cause by other idiots not doing the jobs properly.

It’s been with that guy who done the work and couldn’t find cause. Been with an auto spark for months, I hoped it would be handy but not obvious it seems. Next stop car heaven lol
