Hey all,

 

Finally joining after reading a for a little while. This place is awesome, every question I have there is a thread here somewhere that shows up first. I've got myself lost in a few project threads too :D

 

Bought the car mid June, at ~57000 miles. Quite low for a Y Plate I thought. This is my first car, at 22 (passed 2011) so I am enjoying driving a lot. I have taken it a little over 60000 by this point.

 

So far, it has been a mix of good and bad.
 

Shortly after buying it, it went for a service. Turns out it needed new brake discs, pads and also front bushes. Apparently should not have passed the MOT. Interesting...

 

Then it was constant EGR Warnings, a PAS failure, and today (Only just came back from the garage last week with a new PAS pump/EGR clean)  It stopped on me, with an Error to do with the Engine speed sensor.

 

I have a ~£5 OBD2 bluetooth scanner and I am getting this error: (Again, another resource I have found here :))

It is running normal again, with the light, but I guess it will just keep failing until it goes permanently. So need to look at this now.

 

 

 

Other little things:

- Radio: It just...does what it wants...Sometimes it will reset all the presets to one thing, or it will just scan through the whole range. Or even through the audio settings.

- Electric window switch: Drivers Auto down doesn't work, everything else is fine. Might replace that at some point.

- Passenger door handle doesn't seem to fit right, I think one of the clips is broken, need to take a look at that

 

When it runs, I love it. Times like now, not so much...
