I meant anyone buy the car flagged up by the op?

Is it worth what was asked for it on gumtree?

Well what do you know, it lives

Firstly the ECM had been for a swim, the casing had been opened up and the original cause of failure not rectified.
Secondly the EWS3 had been fried, the cause being an extremely hamfisted effort to replace the highline nav with a CD80 single din unit, when I say hamfisted, I mean it......

Looks like Trikey is going to have some fun in the wiring rectification department tomorrow, however she runs a treat, and has a good set of injectors in there
