Before putting members down why not realise that some of us love these cars but rely on advice from members who have skill and knowledge. My tourer is a 51 plate. It cost me £750 5 years ago, it has passed mot each year without major issues, the bodywork is sound, I get oil and fluids changed regularly. I love driving around the Island with my dogs in the back and often have great conversations with admirers in car parks. I have on each occasion that I have had an issue with the car sought advice from the forum. French Mike, Arctic, Brian, Klarzy, Harry and others to numerous to mention. I have done the sunroof drains, the handbrake, the FBH, the brake discs and pads, those big round things on the suspension and changed the crankshaft pulley recently. I am nearly 70, I do not welcome members posting emojis that brand me as thick, stupid or duh!
As I said the car is at present running fine, access to t4 is not available, I listened to advice, but the car returned to normal running after 2 hours charge, I do not have a garage full of testers, so cannot check it’s s condition. It either works or I get a new one. The remark that my fingers were crossed was not meant to be a technical comment, just that as at present all seems well, I hope the mystery lights on was just an unexplained event. If it happens again I will of course have to seek further advice and support. However, there is a limit to my budget, so fingers crossed that the car continues to be reliable and a joy to drive. My charger says the battery is fully charged and the car is starting and running fine. Cut out the smart ass put downs and judgemental conclusions about members less technically able or knowledgeable. Nice day here, hope all is well for all of you. Love this forum for support, don’t need to be judged or put down!
