Hi everyone
Just been to see a 1.8 auto tonight. Drives lovely but when you brake it's juddering plus when you reverse. The parking sensors just give a long beep as if you are to close. Any ideas plz as would be grateful of your advice. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk |

Hi Rev
You have a beautiful car. I'm afraid its out of the price range I'm looking at. Hope you sell it soon to someone who will give it the same love. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk |

The problem with buying cheap is that you may end up with a shed that costs far more in the long run to put right. Better to buy a well sorted car that has had the belts done if it is a V6.
Unless you do all the work yourself these can be expensive motors to maintain. |

The long beep means that there's a system fault; probably a sensor. Juddering when braking and in reverse is not a good sign. I'd cross that one off your list if I were you. Simon

If its so simple Why isnt the seller doing the work? More likely is that he has trawled the car around a few garages received differing assumptions and large quotes.IMO As previously said Steer Clear .You will finish up with an empty pocket and a car sat idle broken down .
