Well after buying my another 2.5 V6 auto elite this has started playing up even though its suppose to have 12 months MOT.
The guy I bought it off denies all responsibilty so I'm stuck with it.I'm wondering whats the best to do as I don't have much money.
Heres what I've got:
1998 2.5 V6 auto CDX
197000 miles
11 months MOT
Currently stuck in emergency manual mode - possible water in gearbox.
1x rear brake light out
my only fob does not work so have to set alarm off when open door then turn off by starting ignition.
However great suspension,shocks,brakes and have been reliably advised that engined has been modified as much better performance and response that usual 2.5
1999 2.5 V6 Auto elite
12 months MOT
*Power steering randomly cuts in and out
*Brakes seem very spongy compared to other car and also unusual click noise from front right when braking.
*A rattly "cloiking"sound from under the car (front left?) when going over bumps. Seems to feel the road and bumps a lot more than other car.
engine is not as quiet as other car, makes a constant clicking noise even when just idling and seems to "complain" more when I push it but again this could be due to the other engine possibly being modified.
Front two heated seats don't work.
Basically the '99 looks a hell of a lot better ( black and black leather interior) and also has a fancy thatham approved alarm but remote start, stop, anti-car jacking etc but at the moment the '98 even with its extra 100000 miles feels smoother, brakes sharper and goes like a bat out of hell but the auto gearbox is not working.
What should I do!! :-/
Please bear in mind that I am not a mechanic so any ideas such as clean out the gear box need to be backed up with a step by step instruction as I will still give it a go but I need a dummy guide!!
Many Thanks
