upon turning the key I get the normal display lights all on and then off and as I turn key all I’m getting is electrical clicking Mine will do this after a long period of non-use. The cause of my fault is the gear selector inhibitor switch. Try turning your ignition on but not starting the car, pre...

I’m a second for v mounts, mine was terrible when they went, genuine items fitted around five years ago, s...

Going back a few years, there were a couple of ex gov cars doing the rounds on eBay and the like.
