i'm not surprised at all
its a shame i always wanted a disco, but time to stop throwing cash at a dead horse lol..
anyway it's perfet now, no faults what so ever, i've fixed um all

Fookin' Lord Lucas! New indicators, new sidelamps - fitted 'em, working fine until you turn on the dash panel lights! Whaaaaat?! Still, it's not as though I need to look at the speedo on these dark evenings - that's what the SatNav's for. Sigh... back to the bloody wiring loom, what joys!
MC :wtf:

to be honest the pleasure has gone from owing it, i know they can be fickle, but only had the thing a month and it's just one thing after another, then another etc.....

i'll have to find a mug on ebay to buy it

no your fickle .youve got it right the rest is **** unless you didnt want one in the first place,people spend years getting there landies into what they want

Leave you to it?
Nah - too many treks to distant lands - well, Russia, not to want to get intimate with the Mad Cow.
It'll be a bad connection back of the dash - last owner must have been an 'artful bodger', esp. when it comes to wiring.

all i want is one that doesn't cost £500 a week in repairs to keep going...

well i've just read the thread on buying a crock of ****, so looks like can't get rid until i take the seller to court for the cost of the reapirs so far..

if i can get rid of this one i'll deffo buy another, but next time ask someone off here to come look with me, and i'm less likely to get a complete crock of ****...

thought you said it was fixed now

Exhaust maifold and studs (fitted) £250
Rear air bags +sensor+cal £200
headlamp washer pump £40
both door mirrors £ 120
waxoly £195
bits and bods ungrades etc £300
hawkeye (to find the faults) £295

ok so £500 a week in repairs is a bit ott, but seems like that..

and by the sound of it the turbo has gone.. reading the threads looking that way, but to be confirmed.

it is actually an ex cop car too

actually yesterday...
Oil & filter changed, what seemed to be a simple job, spent a few hours cleaning the bottom of the engine, clutch and others from the oozy gunk that had built up.
Hope I can find it's origin next month when I change the belts & water pump that is leaking also.
