I’m pretty pissed off with the options on the configurator to be honest… it can’t be the real thing surely..? There’s no option to change the indicator stalk like they said there would be, no option to upgrade to the Harmon Kardon sound system, no other optional extras to choose etc.
Luckily...
So it could be a TCM issue.
I’m fairly convinced my TCM problem was a circuit break that would open when the module got warm. Cant prove that as haven’t opened the module and looked. However, my issues only seemed to happen on hotter days.
it’s clearly had one as that’s not a standard battery.
However that’s no guarantee it’s not on its way out.
It’s the cheapest option to start with but I’d be taking note of the clutch temps via RS monitor if you have it.
No idea what you’re on about 😂😂
205,402 miles and counting…
Firstly I’d be asking what mileage the OP’s car is on, if it’s ever had a battery replaced?
I’d only go through 3rd party if you’ve got hard evidence I.e dashcam footage.
I’d also avoid any accident management company if possible too.
@charltjr has hit the nail on the head there tbh.
If anyone is contemplating a winter detail for their car, stop thinking and PM @VIICarCare right now!
So pleased I did! At 202,000 miles I thought it was high time I treated the old girl to some real TLC.
Duly dropped off with Dawn a few days ago and the results are absolutely astonishing...
Original clutches, gearbox, engine, exhaust, turbo, cat, driveshafts and windscreen!
It’s had a TCM and a second hand rlink screen as non wear and tear consumable items and suspension, brakes and tyres as expected wear and tear consumables.
Unfortunately it does burn oil, approx 1ltr every 1000miles. Been using Lucas oil stabiliser in it which extends the consumption to 1ltr every 2.5-3k.
Im certain that had I kept to the 12,500 service schedule it would be long dead. 5000 mile intervals have saved its life I think.
Paul at...
If that mileage on a car that’s 19 years old will make it an impossible sale then I may as well drive mine right into the crusher 😂😂
You know my thoughts on the situ @frayz 😁
The card I have is a dealer update card. Technically it’s not mine 🫣 so I can’t just send it off to anyone as I do have to return it at some point. Might be worth popping into your local dealer and asking them?
