Post by: Spider on January 31, 2011, 06:33:49 pm: Hi Andy have seen your build over on the OC and recognise a few names on here
The car is standard for the moment as I've had loads of trouble with it so haven't wanted to do much while dealers have been trying to get it sorted

Post by: Kalpsn2000 on February 01, 2011, 10:39:55 am: Hi & welcome mate

The R32 is a very nice car

All of those problems within 1 year :surprised:. Surprised you have kept it, I would have probably taken it back to the dealer for a refund or replacement.

But good man for sticking with it, hope you have used up all your bad luck and are enjoying it now :happy2:

Sounds like a nightmare with all of those replacements. Fingers crossed that there's no more hassle!
