Engine and turbo dont appear to be in the best of health afaik.
But when you sold it to me, there were receipts for £1k for a new hybrid and £600 on a top end rebuild.
New owner has spent a further £1k on another hybrid and its smoking?
Christ.

TBH I couldnt give a fuck, I know what work was done on the car and what was spent on it, others are just determined to rip it apart no matter what - make up storys about it that aint true. I cant see how a car that won car of the stand in July and that TV where all over and want to feature is a dog or a shitter WTF!!!!!
Sounds like jealousy

Im not fussed either way. its not my car anymore Chris, so Likewise I couldnt give a fuck. Im only relaying what I have heard.
I would have probably kept it, had ther merc not come along.
Its true, it didnt get car of the stand on MIG if it was as bad as others make out.
