That'll be a 1500cc Normally a good engine. Like the pugs it'll be the software letting it down. As for the other faults, chinessium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her Captur has never let her down, always starts and runs OK, even with the management light on, her husband (who tries to check sis in laws car over) is hoping there are not any more engine sensors to go wrong, last 2 episodes have cost £400+ both times...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is especially serious for young children and older people. It can cause pneumonia, bloodstream infection and meningitis (inflammation of the membranes around the brain). Vaccination is a safe and effective way to protect you from pneumococcal disease. When my doctor offered it to me I declined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Gonna be a long day for me, taking Shadow over to Davidstow airfield for some lengthy riding lessons. Probably going to be an hour trip to get there, two up on a 125. Never mind out on a bike is out on a bike. Essentials, puncture kit, drinks and a tarp for me to sit on while Shadow plays. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh I did see a video where Bugatti wanted £1500 for air con/heater control panel, it was originally fitted in some Rover model, he bought one (new/unused) for £25 Another (can't remember which supercar) time he needed side repeater lamps, at a price of around £100+ for the pair, except they were originally fitted to the Ford Focus, £20 for the pair. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
