A 14 reg plate from new.
Dead faulty car battery, ‘system fault’ hill start assist would not release after having a new module fitted.
Loud rattle in dash, from air ducting, part of the dash dash out again. mechanic said its the worst design he as ever come across, the air ducting is just free floating.
