the car came on GAZ coilovers which at first I liked as I loved the way it looked on them but I grew to hate them

so got home ,removed the graphics on the windscreen and resprayed the wing mirrors. also got the car booked in to have a middle box and a cat fitted which brought the volume down thankfully not to much.

a few pics from the lake district

didn't regret buying it as I had want one for years and I knew money would have to be sent to get it the way I wanted it

My wife and I went over to collect the car then drove down to the lake district to see friends when we where over. Which is when I realised that there was no middle silencer or cat fitted , just a straight pipe and a custom back box. loud is not even the word for this thing it was just nuts. so...

or starter could be on its way out

I had this same issue with mine, only I left it until it got so bad the car failed to start at all. If you open the fuse/relay box in the engine bay and check the relays spade connectors for corrosion clean them up and refit also below where the relay sit should be a big white multi pin...
