"the engine will not turn over we are not sure what is wrong could be seized as it just click’s when you turn the key."

Any ideas? Broken Cambelt?

That's what mine did after the flood.  Was a corroded starter, however that's a rare issue.

This is that dealer who goes on and on about his cars! Amazing how he can talk so much about it when he can't even start it!

I saw this one James, the poverty spec put me off... has no toys.

I'd prefer the prefacelift i have, as it has Bose, Leather, memory seats, cd changer & sat nav.

I think the x-police ones are a bit bare, they only have HID's really  :(

Quote "The Police service and maintain their cars them self at and in between regular intervals with no expense spared and with Genuine Manufactures Parts so it really is as good as having full dealer service history but better as the servicing is done at and in between regular intervals with no expense spared!! the oil, tyres, disks, pads and every thing else that wears are all like brand new and all mileages are 100% genuine so in most case’s you’re getting a better car for much less!"

So well serviced the engines "seized" :-?
