Hi lads
That was my thread, bit late but didn't know it had been picked up here.
From what I know it had a SMG fault. However it wasn't the pump... it was the gearshift module itself - rare?
The plot thickens though. It took quite a while for the fault to be found. After one week, the garage tried to call the owner but the number would not dial through!
Then a week or so later the owner turned up asking why there had been no update (phone). The garage explained that they were still trying to diagnose the fault and had tried to call but couldn't get through.
The garage took down his number once again. They eventually found the fault (gearshift module) and installed a new one. When they tried to call the owner so he could collect the car the same thing happened... the number would not dial through!
So yeah, they've been waiting for him to pick it up. I agree in that the cosmetics can be fixed - I was tempted to leave a note asking if he wanted to sell up
Mike Brewer from wheeler dealers would be all over it like a tramp on chips.
From what I've been told, the owner is the original owner from new so he's owned it for a long time. Strange if he isn't a locale on here no?
I'll be going back to the garage soon, be interesting to see if its still lurking there.
