Trying times

[888dee]

had the car since the start of Feb, so far

serviced,
alternator failed,
door handle broke,
rear brake siezed,
cam position sensor failed,
nasty oil leak (still to be found)
engine coolant temp sensor failing (causing all sorts of problems)

to say it's starting to get on my wick and if it doesn't start to behave I'll be selling it :sinner:

[Yosser]

You bought it for £300, didn't you?

What do you expect?? :lol:

[t5 pete]

If you bought it for £300 what he said^

[cameron]

Sorry dude but i agree with these guys /\

Pay £300 for a T5 and it'll be a bit of a shed

That old saying "You get what you pay for " springs to mind

Hope you get it all sorted and have a bit more luck with it :D

[888dee]

it was £350!!! :lol:

oh and it's an AWD, went shopping for a T5 but couldn't find one and came across this anf bought it instead. To be fair it's not a bad car just been a bit unlucky

[888dee]

well another easy fix :)

temp sensor changed, DTC cleared and all is good with the world again :) just need to suss out the oil leak

[Dangerous Dave]

my temp sensor was buggered too, like u said, changed it and all was well!

Hmmmmmmm you say that paying £350 for a T5 makes it a shed???? I got mine for £300, with tax and test till december, done 143.000 miles with main dealer history till 100.000..... And i think mines far from a shed! Yes it has its niggley problems, like the glovebox lid, a slight oil leak, and worn top mounts....... All round a quick, safe and comfortable motor for £300 me thinks!

And i think mines far from a shed!
