Default Massive let down by my 75

After only 2 yrs. and 3 months of ownership, the front offside indicator bulb has failed, now debating whether to change the car or the bulb.

Typical shoddy British workmanship
If only they had good reliable Lucas products like in the old days!

It's worse than that, combined HGF, fuel pump failure, flooded ECM, knackered clutch, automatic gearbox and K-Bus gone haywire.

But the terminal thing is it's light green


Scrap it and buy a new car immediately if not sooner

I'm almost tempted by your offer, in fact if it didn't involve driving to Scotland without a working indicator I might have risked it, however with my luck I'd get pulled over and end up with an endorsement on my 45 year clean licence.
