Guest PhilKing Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) Well people tell me NOT to buy a car off Ebay as they are just wrecks, but I did it anyway, I went to High Wycombe yesterday to pick up my 1990 XR3i Cabriolet in gold (yes i know) but it drive back fine with no hicups or breakdowns and it only cost me £25 on fuel, anyway it was MOT day today and it didnt pass as the 3 page fail sheet has shown me but all the things a linked to 1 thing...... a relay! All the indicaters, hazzards are not working or is the horn oh and the exhaust has a hole in it at the front somewhere so its blowing but apart from that its fine on steering, transmission, suspention, bodywork and everything else! Will keep you all posted! Phil Edited July 5, 2011 by PhilKing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
