Welcome to the looneyzone.

Your title sounds expensive.....:oops::oops::oops:

Cheers
 
over fueling, no radio, nothing works A/C compressor and pipes missing, dents front and rear to name a few.................. I love it!
 
Welcome buddy yer motor looks nice in the pic ;)

You think you have issues most on here have "series" problems & I'm not talking about landys :p
 
Well it’s ok but sometimes it goes gutless and belches black smoke. Usually delaminated hose apparently so I’ve got a set of turbo hoses coming as a first hit.
Yes air con can wait. Top of the list is stop the alarm going off 20 mins after setting it
Check the power to both heated seats and screens
Find a radio that fits the oversized hole in the dash. ‍♂️
On the plus side it passed its mot yesterday with no advisories
Not complaining... I like a challenge!
Thanks guys!
 
It’ll be ok eventually. I thought it was worth a punt at £8k but it could bite me on the bum...
 
Very top of your list should be beefing up defenders crappy security, consider a skytag or similar. It's hard to fix the issues after someone has robbed it off your drive.

Welcome to the mad house by the way, nice looking tratter from this distance anyway :D
