so far in my third week of ownership its had a full set of discs and pads, new keyfob batterys, needs an airbag on the rear, and i got a call from the wife saying it ground to a halt in town this morning engine everything dead!! she turned the key off and on and it restarted saying gearbox fault and rear light bulb blown, and it feels like its stuck in 3rd gear with no power. when i get home i go out and start it it seems perfect? ran it 3 miles with no problems, came home and popped the bonnet and the negative battery lead could be moved on the post by a small wiggle of the fingers so i tightened it up?? grrr hope thats what caused the problem this morning. apart form that its wonderfull!!!
 
Seems a bit harsh to be cursing it if the only prob is a loose battery connection! :)

Hopefully that's it though!

Sounds like a good bet:)
 
I get the gearbox fault sometimes but turn off the ignition and let the computer boot up before trying to start again and it usually goes away
 
following on from the above the passenger side aircon now only blows cold and the dreaded book symbol is on the display:eek: can i change just the one blend motor for that side or do all three need doing??
