How can a car being a totally reliable old bus for the previous old couple owner then start developing all the common faults after a few weeks of new ownership.
My CDx was bought from a dear old bloke who only sold it as his son had bought them a freelander as a suprise gift. Totally trust him. He was even cocerned about making sure I know the glovebox button had broke.
I knew a problem with radio code as needing to pull fuse out to reset buts that's all.
In three weeks the radio had flattened the duff battery overnight for no reason. New radio and new battery and all well. Then climate kept blowing a fuse. That stopped doing it after radio was replaced. Then the slight knock fro rear is driving me nuts, turns out to be rear shocker ( special ones for towing) is knocking within itself. Not a problem just annoying. Then the abs ecu pump has thrown a fit. Nearly forgot about the ns front xenon level arm needing reducing back to body.
Surely I can't be such a car abuser? All the faults appeared after a week of perfect ownwership.
Maybe it's just getting driven properly now?
