    We're seeing cases where people have e blanked/deleted the dpf and egr and then they experiencing other engine issues as the engine runs hotter. If you're deleting the egr it might be worth just blanking it off when getting it deleted from the map. Because if the egr can be seen easily by an MOT tester normally and they notice it's missing then you could end up with a fine as they can prove you've tried to tamper with the vehicle emissions. It might be under the engine cover in that case it's not so bad as MOT testers can't remove parts.

    Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂

    This would all depend if a genuine or a cheap egr has been fitted. As the old saying goes it get what you pay for. It could just be a sensor.

    Would you?

    If it ain't broke don't fix it is my view but others might have different opinions.

    Japanese imports will be good quality. However, I believe the Wiring and computer systems will be more difficult to navigate if it needs repair. Happy to be proven wrong through.

    I could have e sworn they both have the same ride height.

    I believe it could be the pollen filter housing
  8. Steve Q
    I agree with Cliff. It could also potentially be a defective headlight switch
  9. Steve Q
    Yep I suspect it can be replaced or repaired. You might be better getting an auto electrician to take a look

    The heating and engine temp should be consistent when running. There could be an issue with the system and id recommend getting it into a garage to be checked
  11. Steve Q
    Glad you got sorted 😊

    Have you had a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up?
  13. Steve Q
    You're welcome 🙂

    Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch. With any electrical problem with the car I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Could you take a picture of the box?

    Most of the time the car will just be carting the electric motors about which are very heavy. Yi want economy I'd ha eBay diesel version personally.

    Welcome to the forum David you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Bet you can't wait to collect it 🙂

    I'm guessing you've checked across the border in northern Ireland? Might have better luck. Alternatively try eBay but include international sellers.

    The dealer should be able to tell you what service history it's got prior to buying even if they can't physically give it to you until you buy it.

    Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Check YouTube for buyers guides. Check service history for proof of gearbox oil changes, cambelt and water pump changes etc

    We attend various shows throughout the year. But non that go to tracks but I'll look into it 🙂

    If it's the centre screen pixelating then this can be replaced with the cluster. Have a look for instrument cluster specialists in your area.
  23. Steve Q
    Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Are the auto lights working properly when driving?
  24. Steve Q
    Not unless the previous owner paid for it.
