Conversation Between Terry Butcher and Seanharvey1983

hello mate, sorry to hear of your issues. Sounds like you need to get the car to an expert near you. Maybe Powerstation at Tewkesbury would be a good place to start? Not much I can do to help down here and I am no expert on P1s as I drive a Hawkeye WRX. I do hope you get it sorted soon tho. Terry

gets worse : ( driving on the m5 through the gears at not more than 60 all fine gentle acceleration through the gears plus getting used to . but when i go faster and changer gear the clutch bettle is slow coming back sort of stops in middle for sec then bk up to use again. also when breaking steering goes left to right a bit. another issue was a flat spot at 90 apparently when i rang him he said car been stood up so clutch needs bleeding and reset ecu. any help please would be gratefully received

Hi terry. maybe uyou can help me. i purchased a second hand p1 today no 181 with 78.000 but had a rebuild in 2009 at advanced automotive bristol. So i was hoping i found a good p1. Went down to plymouth to collect from an army barracks and inspected vehicle all looked ok. oil , wheels tyres breaks etc. started up ok. had a little test drive round the baracks all ok. buy car and set of dow the m5 back to bath where i live.. 1st thing i notice is indicator flashing quick on right get out to inspect and not working. after unscrewing i notice its not even plugged and without bulb. proceeded on to halfords and checked all lights which i no i should of done. anyhow main lights werent plugged in either or should i say attached to battery. after doing all this lights all work . the guy did mention summit about draining battery so he disconects at night. strange as alarm cant be on either as my button unlock with my key isnt working to alrm car.
