  • My Intro

    Hello,

    Im Alex, Electrical Engineer for United Utilities. Bought my car in January and had quite a few issues since purchasing it.

    Had a replacement engine fitted, new shocks, new flywheel and clutch plus in the process of sorting the brakes and tyres out.

    Bought a bit of a lemon as i rushed
    into the purchase.

    Welcome Alex.
    I share your pain, bought my siggy last year and had the oil pump fail. Had to rebuild the engine and turbo and in the process of doing clutch and flywheel.
    Once your problems are sorted you'll be glad as they are great cars.
    You've come to the right place for any help you may need.
    Car looks good [emoji846]

        Hi

        Hopefully now all the main work is done you will be able to enjoy your car for a good few trouble free years. It is always a risk buying a second hand car. A couple of years ago my son bought a diesel Alfa 157 for £3.5k. After spending probably another £700.00 trying to sort out DPF and other issues he ended up selling it ot a trader for £1300 as he had got fed up and had enough of it.

          Hi Alex,

          Sorry to hear of your car issues. Hopefully once the fixes are finished your lemon could turn into a little gem.

                          I don't really know my fruit that well but that don't look nothing like a lemon .
                          I'm sure a lemon is long and has a bend in it !
                          Or is that a strawberry
                          Or a passion fruit
                          Naaaar I think that's something I saw on another forum for adults !
